    Tankervil was baptised with fire, and rose to life eternal. Tankervil was martyred on the 26th August 1555. There is a plaque in the centre of St. Albans in memorial of him. This is His story:

    George Tankervil George Tankervil (also known as George Tankerfield) was born in the early 1500s in the city of York in England.

    The names of God: God always exists, He will provide, He is our healer, and our banner, he will sanctify us and He is our peace. But how do we know? I mean, the Bible says all of these things (and more!), but how can we really know?

    The contrast of Herod killing John the Baptist to Jesus feeding 5000 in Mark 6 is very revealing of the life of sin vs. a life of service. We must be totally devoted to Christ to live for Him, and cannot live like He is a convenience.

    Who do you follow? Mark 6:14-44 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - For us to ...read more

    It is not an act of love to tell those who are committing grave sin that their actions are OK. We must respect human dignity like the Ugandan martyrs.

    Monday of 9th Week in Course 2013 Gaudium et Spes The setting of the Book of Tobit, one of the inspired books of Scripture that came to us only in Greek, is of an exiled family in a land with an oppressive government, one that enforced laws prohibiting certain practices of the Jewish faith.

    Christian life and ministry getting rough?

    When I was a new Christian I wanted to be like Peter and Paul. I wish I had been more specific because I have found that I have a lot of their weaknesses, but I was hoping for their strengths. Everyone has a hero in the Word that they wish they could be like and most of us while we want to be ...read more

    In this age, when Christians of all kinds are being ridiculed, harassed and threatened in many different ways, we need to look at the martyrs of the past two thousand years and take courage.

    Tuesday of the 14th Week in Course 2019 Jacob ben Isaac was a cheat, a liar and a thief. You may recall from an earlier reading in Genesis that he lied, cheated and stole his older brother, Esau’s, first-born blessing. Then, wisely, he left town and took up with Laban, where he married two sisters ...read more

     | 2,075 views

    We in the Church are under constant assault by politicians, so-called comedians and the mass media. Today we quite easily relate to the readings from the Lectionary. God almighty, come to our aid!

     | 730 views

    If we deny Christ and His divine authority and eternal power, then we will be denied by Christ at the judgement, and face an eternity of suffering and radical aloneness.

    Saturday of 28th Week in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel has been misused far more times than it has been used by Christians facing martyrdom by the power of some civil or religious authority. What Jesus seems to intend in His challenge to us disciples is that when we are haled, or hauled, before ...read more

    Jesus, how are you going to get out of this trap?

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course 2022 Every week we rise together and recite one or the other professions of faith, either the Apostles’ Creed or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan.

    Almost certainly in our lifetime we will also have to follow Christ to our own cross. Probably not a bloody martyrdom, but the culture hates the Church and all who follow Christ.

    Monday of the 24th and Last Week in Course 2020 Bl. Miguel Agustin Pro Today, in the glaring light of our proclamation on Sunday that Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe, we are invited to consider the virtues of those who will be found worthy to live forever in that marvelous, unimaginably ...read more
