Feast Day of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More

St. John Fisher

St. Thomas More

“Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul.”
St. Thomas More

It might be considered irreverent, but the first thing I thought when I saw this was, "Hey, two dudes with funky hats!" heehee

I really like hearing the story of St. Thomas More's life - especially his death. He went to the executioner and said, "Do not hesitate to do your duty. You send me to God."
