St. Justin Martyr
A restless philosopher who tried every school of Greek thought hunting for God — until a stranger on the shore pointed him past reason to Christ, the 'true philosophy' he would defend before emperors and die for in Rome.
Reflect on St. Justin Martyr
Justin spent his whole life convinced that truth was worth everything — worth searching for, worth defending, and at last worth dying for.
Reflection Questions

- 2
Where in your own life have you, like Justin, gone from door to door looking for something only God could finally give?
- 3
Justin kept asking honest questions until he found the truth. What is one question about your faith you could take seriously enough to chase down this week?
