Saint of the Day

On the day of 29 December

Of Saint Thomas Becket, bishop and martyr, who, because of his defense of justice and of the Church, was forced into exile from the See of Canterbury and from his native England and, when he return to his own country after six years, suffered many things until, struck with the sword by accomplices of King Henry II, he migrated to Christ.
