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 John Stone d. 1538

By his name and date you can guess that John Stone is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.

John Stone was an Augustinian friar at Canterbury. Our buddy King Henry VIII insisted on an oath to the Supremacy of the King [over Church and faith as well as the realm of Great Britain.].

The friars, including John Stone, refused. He was hung, drawn, and quartered for his faith – his loyalty to God and King but not God as King…. The monarchs in your life are not God either nor is your loyalty to them to supersede your loyalty to God….

I love you.
