Fun Fact

Sebastian was a soldier of Rome. Once the emperor found out he was a Christian, he was sentenced to death. He was tied to a tree as target practice for the archers of the Roman Empire. They didn't recover his body though. St. Irene of Rome saved and healed him.

Prayer

Saint Sebastian, intercede to the Holy Ghost that I may integrate my faith across all aspects of my life, as you did as a Christian and soldier.

Amen.
