toledo_jesus Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 burn at the stake because you actually die before the fire gets to you...you suffocate. not as gruesome as people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T-Bone Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I choose poison, that is, if it was "by a cup of hemlock." Peacefully drifting off to sleep. If not that, then I'd choose beheading. Whatever the method, I would merely hope that I would be brave and make Jesus proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duc_In_Altum Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 i think nailed upside down would be the most meaningful for me. So much of the suffering in our everyday lives requires us to unite our suffering with Jesus on the cross. Can't get much closer than that. -joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StColette Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 well, seeing as though we probably woudn't have a choice in the matter I would gladly face any form of martyrdom. The absolute worst form of martyrdom is that which Our Lady faced. She suffered a spiritual martyrdom with her Son on the Cross. That's why she is called Queen of the Martyrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I'd want to be beheaded because I'm a wimp and I'd want it over with fast... but lets be realistic, thats not what martyrdom is about, so if I actually were martyred I'd probably end up tortured in the most painful SLOW manner possible.

XIX Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I've often daydreamed of feeling so much love that it actually caused me to pass out. imagine that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Well, there is also white martyrdom where you give up everything in your life for God, even if you are rejected by all others and suffering in that way until you die... You can die peacefully in your sleep and still be comsidered a martyr... Look at Blessed Kateri... she was a white martyr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popestpiusx Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I think I would like to be grilled. This is for two reasons: 1) I love to grill stuff. I grill several times a week. It would be a fitting way for me to die. 2)I would want to come up with a great one-liner like St. Lawrence did: "I'm finished on that side, you may flip me over now."
