St. Thomas More Feast Day: June 22 Canonized: 1935 Beatified: 1886

On June 22, the Catholic Church honors the life and martyrdom of St. Thomas More, the lawyer, author and statesman who lost his life opposing King Henry VIII's plan to subordinate the Church to the English monarchy. Thomas More was born in 1478, son of the lawyer and judge John More and his wife Agnes. He received a classical education from the age of six, and at age 13 became the protégé of Archbishop John Morton, who also served an important civic role as the Lord Chancellor. Although Thomas never joined the clergy, he would eventually come to assume the position of Lord Chancellor himself. He seriously considered joining either the Carthusian monastic order or the Franciscans, and followed a number of ascetic and spiritual practices throughout his life – such as fasting, corporal mortification, and a regular rule of prayer – as means of growing in holiness. In 1509, King Henry VIII had acceded to the throne. For years, the king showed fondness for Thomas, working to further his career as a public servant. He became a part of the king's inner circle, eventually overseeing the English court system as Lord Chancellor. More even authored a book published in Henry's name, defending Catholic doctrine against Martin Luther. But when the king decided to overrule the church belief for his own and demanded that More do the same More refused and was imprisoned. On July 6, 1535, the 57-year-old More came before the executioner to be beheaded. “I die the king's good servant,” he told the onlookers, “but God's first”. We honor St. Thomas More as a person of courage. He lived the moral virtue of fortitude. He courageously defended his faith. We can follow Saint Thomas More’s example. We can be witnesses for our faith in Jesus and his Church through our daily words and actions. We honor him as a patron saint of lawyers and politicians.

On Monday June 17 th our Bible Study group using the book of Revelation had their last session. We started with a potluck followed by a discussion and video. The participants are Sharen Walden, Chrissy Berlette, Jenni Wolken, Joyce Kruse, Betty Schroeder, Mary Jane Pranger, Kaye Wesely, Glenda Moeller, Maureen Kieler and Patty Knight. We will start another group in September. We plan on using Bishop Robert Barron’s study of “The Mass.” If interested in joining the Bible Study in the fall please contact Dixie at the parish office.
