Have Mercy Upon Us
π§ I was a young Christian woman living in Antioch, and I had chosen to dedicate my life completely to Christ.
π A young man from a noble family wanted me to marry him, but I refused. He became determined to win me over and went to a famous magician named Cyprianus for help.
βοΈ Cyprianus used his knowledge of magic and sent demons against me, but whenever they approached, I protected myself through prayer and the Sign of the Cross.
π₯ After repeatedly failing to overcome my faith, Cyprianus realized that the power of Christ was greater than everything he had believed in. He abandoned magic, burned his books, and became a Christian.
βͺ I later became the head of a convent, and during persecution, I was arrested with Cyprianus and ultimately gave my life for Christ.

Peace
π©βπ¦βπ¦ I lived in Esna in Upper Egypt and was the mother of four sons: Soris, Horman, Abanoufa, and Shentas.
πΎ My sons were farmers, and when Arianus, the governor under Emperor Diocletian, came to Esna, they encountered him while working in the fields.
βοΈ When questioned about their faith, my sons boldly confessed that they were Christians and refused to worship idols.
β€οΈ When I heard what happened, I immediately went to my sons and strengthened them in their faith before the governor.
π I and my four sons were eventually sentenced to martyrdom. I asked to be martyred after my sons, so I could encourage them to remain faithful until the end.
