July 24 - Saints Boris and Gleb

 

They were two Russian brothers, sons of Russia’s first Christian prince. Before converting to Christianity, their father had many wives. They were the sons of his last wife, who was a Christian. Upon the death of the prince, his eldest brother who was not a Christian conjured a plot to kill them. He first killed Boris, who died forgiving him and later Gleb, who initially was afraid, but later forgave his uncle and died without defending himself.

What do you fear the most? Are you capable of forgiving something bad that someone has done to you?
