In the martyrdom of #StCharlesLwanga and Companions, whose feast we celebrate today, perfect fortitude (contending with a threat to life) aligned with perfect temperance (desiring only reasonable pleasure) in a prudent pursuit of perfect justice (rendering due witness to truth). 
All but two of the Ugandan martyrs canonized in 1964 can be seen in this photograph. St. Charles Lwanga is seated in the middle of the top row.
“The infamous crime by which these young men were put to death was so unspeakable and so expressive of the times. It shows us clearly that a new people needs a moral foundation, needs new spiritual customs firmly planted, and to be handed down to posterity.” -Pope St. Paul VI
