2. Why it’s important to remember them all:

story of the martyrdom of Perpetua and her companions is the story of the Paschal Mystery redividus. The Christian becomes most fully herself or himself inasmuch as there is a will to be conformed to Christ in suffering and death. Martyrdom, like Baptism, accomplishes a transformation of the recipient into an “alter Christus”—another Christ.
When the Christian, indeed the world, sees the suffering and death of the martyr, what is happening is not merely a display of cruelty and injustice, but a revelation of suffering giving way to love, retribution giving way to forgiveness, and death giving way to a new kind of life.
In remembering the story of the Church’s earliest martyrs, what is being recalled is not merely their passion, but the Passion of Christ.
