English Martyrs

English Martyrs As we were preaching, praying, sharing Gospel, we were arrested, tried for treason and executed for sharing Jesus’ faith and his signs of graces. We were priests, apostles, prudent men. We lived in times where it was a crime to celebrate Eucharist, say the Mass, to participate in sacraments as if they were bad things. Eucharist, nourishment of the soul, which cleanses venial sins. Who has the power over man conscience, over Ethics and freedom? Who can make crime out of a belief? Corrupt monarch indeed.
