LISTEN | Morning Prayer - June 22, 2022 | Memorial of Saints John Fisher, Bishop, and Thomas More, Martyrs
"Come let us worship Christ, the king of martyrs." - antiphon, lauds
St. Thomas More was born in London, England and was Chancellor of King Henry VIII. As a family man and a public servant, his life was a rare synthesis of human sensitivity and Christian wisdom.
St. John Fisher studied Theology in Cambridge (England) and became Bishop of Rochester. His friend, Thomas More, wrote of him, 'I reckon in this realm no one man, in wisdom, learning and long approved virtue together, meet to be matched and compared with him.'
The two friends gave up their lives in testimony to the unity of the Church and to the indissolubility of Marriage.
