Dec. 29. St. Thomas Becket



Thomas was the Archbishop of Canterbury and martyred on this day in 1170 

in the Cathedral in Canterbury England by henchmen from King Henry. 

Who wanted to silence Thomas. 


While We may not have to defend our Faith by shedding our blood;


We may  have to defend the Faith,

Against a society and government that wants us 

to compromise our Faith and 

what we believe and how we practice it. 


For many would prefer us to put our Faith under a bushel basket and never speak of it. 


And so like Thomas Becket sometimes we too must stand up for our Faith. 

For While we may not be martyred for the Faith like Thomas a Becket

We may most certainly experience rejection and ridicule for it.
