I forgive thee with all my heart, and I trust thou shall see me overcome this storm… ~Saint John Fisher
I die the King’s good servant, but God’s first. ~Saint Thomas More

Prayer:
Saints John Fisher and Thomas More, your fidelity to the truth and your courage left behind a shining example for all to see. Though your deaths appeared to be defeats at the time, your love of God and love for the king who killed you live on. Please pray for me, that I will imitate your courage and fidelity to Christ, going so far as to lay down my life, in every way that I am called, for the glory of God and the salvation of others. Saints John Fisher and Thomas More, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
