St. Sampson: the sound of this saint’s name reminds us of the might Old Testament warrior who fought and destroyed Israel’s enemies through force. St. Sampson was called by God in the 6th Century to battle the enemies of God’s people through mercy helping the poor and sick in Constantinople. God still calls us to fight like Samson but with the methods of Sampson.
