John and Thommy


Good morning
I love you

Saturday morning prayer with you through the feasts…. Written for us, for me, for later as well [bloggable too.]

February 4 Bl John Speed d. 1594

John Speed [sometimes called Spence] was a layman. You see, we all have the opportunity to profess our faith, to witness to our beliefs – and to so offend the nonbelievers as to risk our lives in their presence – our very lives or our modus vivandi…. A risk you live each day.

John Speed protected Catholic priests – was caught doing this traitorous act – and was killed for it. Simple story. Done.

And you? How like the Durham Martyrs are you willing to be?

I love you
