Bishop Athanasius Schneider

No Greater Love presents the Church’s teaching on martyrdom and a prayerful exposition of Catholic witnesses. Born from the sacrifice of Christ, the Faithful Witness, martyrdom remains the Church’s most powerful testimony to the Eternal Truth. From the Holy Innocents to modern saints, martyrs have offered their lives with unwavering love and fortitude. This work treats the visible martyrdom of blood and the hidden martyrdom of desire, showing how every Christian is called to offer life in love, even without the sword. Drawing on Scripture, papal wisdom, and the witness of saints, readers are invited to take their place in the militant Church, pursuing holiness with courage and charity. In an age of noise, compromise, and confusion, Bishop Schneider reminds us that the Truth is worth dying for, and even more, worth living for.
