Saint Thomas More, a renowned English statesman and lawyer, is remembered as a man of unwavering integrity and scholar, diplomat, and eventually, as Lord Chancellor of England. Despite his remarkable career, More’s most enduring legacy lies in his unwavering commitment to his beliefs. When King Henry VIII sought to obtain an annulment of marriage, More refused to support the king’s actions, leading to his resignation and subsequent imprisonment.

Even in the face of great adversity, More remained resolute in his loyalty to the Catholic Church, refusing to compromise his principles. His steadfastness ultimately led to his execution in 1535. Today, Saint Thomas More is revered as a martyr for religious freedom and serves as an inspiration for those who strive to uphold their convictions in the face of adversity.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. – Galatians 5:13
