History
Juliana lived in Turkey many years
ago, before Christianity was legal. She and her family were all pagans. But
when Juliana learned about Jesus, she secretly got baptized. When her dad found
out she was a Christian, he had her thrown in prison. Then a demon came to her
pretending to be an angel, but Juliana could tell what it was. She overcame the
demon with God’s help, but in the long run, she was killed for believing in
Jesus.
Activity
When Juliana overcame the demon, it
revealed to her that every time Christians attend Mass, the demons suffer.
That’s another reason we should all go to Mass as much as we can! Today, check
the Mass schedule in your town for the rest of this week and plan to attend
Daily Mass when you can.
