St. Thomas a Becket
2 Tim 2:8-13. Matt. 16:13-19

Be faithful in all things: through prayer and absolute self-giving be oned with Our redeeming, sanctifying love. So will the crown of life be yours as you continue faithful.

Do not expect an easy way: all the faithfully committed in Our love will know the challenge of the way of holiness, and the desire to know and do the Father's will constantly confronts all followers in The Way.

Opposition and hostility is not infrequently visited on those who are committed to the way of holiness and of service to the Father and their fellowmen .

Stay close to be, believing, and I will keep you faithful and bring you to the Father's Presence at the end of time.

Rejoice in all things and in every situation. Fear nothing save failure in faithfulness and obedience to the Father's will and loving purpose. Pray ceaselessly for love and Love will be your way, your truth, your life.
