Marytrdom of St Thomas a Becket (29-December)

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

"I, who have turned away from You with indifference - I've been without honor and feel unworthy... teach me how to serve You with all my heart... what it is to love, to adore... so that I may worthily administer... and find my true honor... make me worthy..." - Saint Thomas of Canterbury

Commemoration of St. Thomas â Becket O Almighty God, by whose grace and power Thy holy martyr Thomas Triumphed over suffering and was faithful even unto death: Grant unto us, who now remember him with thanksgiving, to be so faithful in our witness to Thee in this world, that we may receive with him the crown of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

Nay one Catholic bishop today is ready to honour our most holy Thomas of Becket's legacy.

When we look at our world today we see many Catholic, or "catholic", politicians ignoring Church teaching. Have things changed so much? It seems to me that the world today is far more evil than when it was more of a Christian/Catholic world. Here we see the very words of Jesus coming true. "If the world hates you, know that it hated me first." (I wish that a certain man spoke in such a way that Time Magazine could never have named him as "Person of the Year".) St. Thomas â Becket, ora pro nobis.

England went from bad to worse... Sad.

The name was Thomas Becket, not Thomas a Becket.

I was wondering what that was about

This priest based this homily off the movie. Not real life !!!!!
