History
Sarbelius and his sister Barbea lived in Mesopotamia
(part of what is the country of Turkey today). Sarbelius was a priest in the
town of Edessa. But they lived at a time when Christianity was illegal. They
were arrested for being Christians. The soldiers tried to make them give up
Jesus by burning them with red-hot irons, but both brother and sisters remained
strong in their faith.
Activity
One of the reasons God gave us families to live in is so
we can encourage each other in our faith, just like Saints Sarbelius and
Barbea. Today, think of a way to help your brothers and sisters grow stronger
in their faith in God. Then do it!
