Bishop Irineu of Sirmium, a beacon of faith in the face of Roman persecution, fearlessly defended the Christian doctrine at the Synod of Sirmium. Despite Emperor Diocletian's decree to persecute Christians, Irineu stood firm. He was arrested and repeatedly tortured, yet he refused to renounce his faith. His unwavering commitment to Christ led to his martyrdom. Before his execution, he prayed for his tormentors and the Church. May this steadfast Hieromartyr Irineu intercede for us, that we might be strengthened in our faith and stand firm against the temptations of the world.
