Today, we remember Saint Thomas Becket who chose faith over favor. Once a friend of the king he died defending the Church at the altar. His martyrdom reminds us true discipleship means carrying the cross even when we stand alone. #jesus #catholicchurch #catholic #saintthomasbecket #stthomasbecket

In the 12th century, King Henry II of England banned the celebration of Saint Thomas Becket’s feast day. ⛪ Henry was furious with the Archbishop, who was later martyred, and tried to erase his influence. #HenryII #SaintThomasBecket
