Jesus, Our Eternal Friend 🙏✨
In a world filled with uncertainties and daily challenges, we are reminded to anchor our hearts in the comforting truth that Jesus is not only our savior but also our faithful friend. 🕊️ When we actively place Him at the center of our lives, His enduring love helps us foster deeper bonds of friendship and understanding within our own families, transforming how we connect with our children and parents. 🏡 Instead of letting fear or anxiety take over, we are called to strengthen our faith, trust, and hope in the one who promises never to abandon or betray us. Let us courageously embrace each day knowing that we are loved unconditionally and that this divine friendship will always guide us through life's complex journeys. 🌟

"Siguen a los santos, porque los que los sigan se convertirán en santos". ~ Papa Clemente I

SANTO TOMÁS MORE (1478-1535)
22 de junio

Tomás se educó en una de las mejores escuelas de Londres en su época, y luego se mudó a Oxford por solo dos años, porque su padre, que era abogado y juez, insistió en que se convirtiera en abogado. Cuando estuvo listo para la práctica legal, pensó en convertirse en monje, uniéndose a los ejercicios espirituales de los monjes Cartujos, cuyo monasterio estaba cerca de donde vivía. Aunque se sintió atraído por la Orden Franciscana, creía que podía servir mejor a Dios como cristiano laico. En 1505 se casó, pero su esposa murió después de seis años, dejándolo con cuatro hijos.

A lo largo de su vida, Tomás se dedicó a la oración prolongada, el ayuno y la abstinencia, el uso del cilicio y la autoflagelación, teniendo a Dios como centro de su vida. Como abogado, cumplió sus deberes cívicos y, posteriormente, sus responsabilidades políticas de manera competente. En 1529, el rey Enrique VIII lo nombró Lord Canciller de Inglaterra, pero Tomás renunció unos años más tarde cuando el rey comenzó a crear un cisma en la iglesia, expulsando a los clérigos que apoyaban al Papa y se declaró cabeza de la Iglesia. Al año siguiente, el rey se divorció de su esposa Catalina de Aragón y se volvió a casar con Ana Bolena. Debido a que Tomás se negó fervientemente a denunciar al Papa para que reconociera al rey Enrique VIII como cabeza de la iglesia y para que reconociera el divorcio, fue acusado de cargos falsos y encarcelado. Después de un juicio injusto, fue decapitado. Sus palabras en su ejecución fueron: "Muero como un buen siervo del rey, pero primero de Dios”.

More fue beatificado en 1886 y canonizado en 1935 junto con el cardenal Juan Fisher, quien también fue ejecutado por las mismas razones.

SAINT THOMAS MORE (1478-1535)
June 22

Thomas was educated in one of the best schools in London at his time, and then moved on to Oxford for only two years, because of his lawyer-judge father’s insistence for him to become a lawyer. When he was ready for legal practice, he entertained thoughts of becoming a monk, joining the spiritual exercises of the Carthusians, whose monastery was close to where he lived. Although he was attracted to the Franciscan Order, he believed that he could serve God better as a lay Christian. In 1505, he married but his wife died after six years, leaving him with four children.

Throughout his life, Thomas engaged in prolonged prayer, fasting and abstinence, wearing of the hair shirt, and self-flagellation, keeping God as the center of his life. As a lawyer, he performed his civic duties and subsequently his political responsibilities competently. In 1529, King Henry VIII appointed him Lord Chancellor of England, but Thomas resigned a few years later as the king began to create schism in the church, purging clergymen supporting the Pope, and declared himself head of the Church. The next year, the king divorced his wife Catherine of Aragon and remarried Anne Boleyn. Because Thomas vehemently refused to denounce the Pope to recognize King Henry VIII as the head of the church, and to acknowledge the divorce, he was accused of false charges and imprisoned. After an unfair trial, he was decapitated. His words at his ex*****on were, ”I die the king's good servant, but God's first.”

More was beatified in 1886 and canonized in 1935 together with Cardinal John Fisher, who was also executed for the same reasons.

SAN JUAN FISHER (1469-1535)
22 de junio

Juan nació en Yorkshire, el mayor de cuatro. Cuando tenía ocho años, su padre murió y su madre se volvió a casar y tuvo cinco hijos más. Tuvo una buena educación y a 23 años fue ordenado sacerdote. Se convirtió en el confesor y consejero espiritual de la madre del rey Enrique VII y la convenció de fundar dos colegios en Cambridge para atraer eruditos y promover las obras literarias latinas, griegas y hebreas. Siendo este su enfoque principal, Juan no recurrió al claustro como la mayoría de los santos; más bien, se reunió con intelectuales y líderes políticos de su tiempo. Predicó contra los abusos en la iglesia, escribió ocho libros sobre la herejía y sus salmos penitenciales se reimprimieron varias veces antes de su muerte. También recibió un nombramiento vitalicio como rector de la Universidad de Cambridge. El joven futuro rey Enrique VIII fue uno de sus alumnos. En 1504, una bula papal lo declaró obispo ante la insistencia del rey Enrique VII.

A la muerte del rey Enrique VII y su esposa en 1509, comenzaron los conflictos con el nuevo rey que empezó a cuestionar la financiación de Cambridge. Enrique VIII comenzó a invadir la iglesia, lo que llevó a Juan, junto con otros dos obispos, a apelar a la Santa Sede. Los tres obispos fueron arrestados, luego de que se publicara un edicto que prohibía tales apelaciones en su ausencia. Cuando se le preguntó su opinión sobre la anulación del matrimonio del rey Enrique VIII con Catalina de Aragón, Juan se opuso directa y abiertamente. Por esto y por negarse a reconocer al rey Enrique VIII como cabeza de la iglesia, Juan, ya enfermo, fue encarcelado y decapitado. Fue beatificado en 1886 y canonizado en 1935.

SAINT JOHN FISHER (1469-1535)
June 22

John was born in Yorkshire, the oldest of four. When he was eight, his father died and his mother remarried and had five more children. He had a good education and at 23, he was given a dispensation to be ordained a priest. He became the confessor and spiritual adviser of the mother of King Henry VII, and convinced her to found two colleges in Cambridge to attract scholars and promote Latin, Greek, and Hebrew literary works. This being his main focus, John did not resort to the cloister like most saints; rather, he met with intellectuals and political leaders of his time. He preached against the abuses in the church, wrote eight books on heresy, and his penitential psalms were reprinted several times before his death, He also received a lifetime appointment as chancellor of the University of Cambridge. The young future King Henry VIII was one of his students. In 1504, a papal bull declared him bishop at the insistence of King Henry VII.

At the death of King Henry VII and his wife in 1509, conflicts began with the new king who started questioning the financing of Cambridge. Henry VIII started encroaching on the church, which led John along with two other bishops to appeal to the Holy See. The three bishops were arrested, after an edict prohibiting such appeals was released in their absence. When asked for his opinion on the annulment of King Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon, John directly and openly opposed it. For this and for defusing to acknowledge King Henry VIII as head of the church, John, already ill of health, was imprisoned and beheaded. He was beatified in 1886 and canonized in 1935.

Embracing Our Imperfections 🙏
In a world that constantly demands perfection, it’s a powerful reminder that our flaws and weaknesses are actually what open the door to a deeper connection with the Divine. When we surrender the parts of ourselves we don't like, we create space for profound transformation and grace to work through our true nature. ✨ This journey of growth and renewal isn't about being flawless, but about becoming a meaningful testimony for others who might also feel unworthy or isolated. 🌟 Let's embrace our imperfect selves today, trusting that our vulnerabilities can become a source of strength and inspire those around us. 🤍

Embodying Divine Grace
In a world that often demands we rely solely on our own strengths, we are reminded that grace builds beautifully upon our natural human limits. ✨ When we generously offer our unique blessings, talents, and even our shortfalls to the Divine, they are enhanced, sharpened, and multiplied far beyond our imagination. 🌟 Let go of the fear of not being enough, for it is in our moments of lack that a greater power steps in to build us up. 🛐 Embrace this reminder today and watch how your willingness to give becomes a profound source of blessing for everyone around you. 🙌

Devoted Service
True service begins with complete surrender to God's grace, letting go of our own control to embrace His divine will. Just like the apostles before us, our mission is not about our own efforts, but allowing His power to move through our actions. Through this ultimate acts of submission, we find ourselves aligned with a purpose far greater than any we could create on our own. Let us carry this profound truth forward into the coming days, seeking to glorify Him in everything we do. 🙏🏼
