✨ On Saint Thomas Becket’s feast day, we recall Servant of God Hermann Cohen, the friar who established the Teresian Carmel in England, “Mary’s Dowry.” In an 1864 lecture, he speaks about the mission's progress.

#CatholicHistory #StThomasBecket

Today is the #5thdayofChristmas, & the feast of #StThomasBecket
There are lots of #medieval songs for St Thomas, but few from the #earlymodern period, as his cult was outlawed during the #Reformation.
Here is Clangat Tuba, an early #Tudor carol for today from the Ritson Manuscript (BL Add MS 5665)

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

On the Feast Day of #StThomasBecket here's some rather beautiful stained glass from the Chapter House at Canterbury Cathedral showing Becket's murder and the Penance of King Henry II.

St Thomas Becket didn’t die for “religion”. He died because Christ is Lord—and no power gets the final word over the Gospel.
On this Fifth Day of Christmas: let our tenderness be real, and our obedience unbought.
