A Calendar of the English Martyrs of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Calendar of the English Martyrs of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries: With an Introduction The following catalogue of the English martyrs of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries contains nothing new except the arrangement of the names in the form of a calendar, and perhaps the more exact determination of one or two dates. It has been drawn up simply for private devotional use. It was thought that such a roll of our martyrs, marking day by day the recurring anniversaries of their victories, would help to keep alive their memory in the minds of English Catholics, and, moreover, suggest the practical devotion of habitually invoking their intercession. Their deaths, precious in the sight of the Lord, have added new glories to the Church militant throughout the world; but we in England owe to them an especial debt of gratitude. And although in these more peaceful times we may not be called upon to shed our blood for Christs sake, yet the spirit of martyrdom should never be wanting in us; and the example of the heroic lives, and still more heroic deaths, of these our suffering forefathers in the faith should be continually urging us to a like contempt of this life and this worlds goods if set against God´s honour.
