Just a reminder that I'll be on the Son Rise Morning Show at about 7:50 a.m. Eastern/6:50 a.m. Central to continue our series on the 40 Martyrs of England and Wales. Anna Mitchell and I will discuss Saints John Jones and John Wall.
Please listen live here on the Sacred Heart Radio website; the podcast will be archived here; the segment will be repeated on Friday next week during the EWTN hour of the Son Rise Morning Show (from 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. Eastern/5:00 to 6:00 a.m. Central).
And please note that next Monday we'll be taking a day off for Labor Day! We'll continue the series on September 14.
Although Saints Jones and Wall are the only Franciscans among the 40 Martyrs of England and Wales, there are several Blessed Franciscan martyrs: Blessed John Forest during the reign of Henry VIII, Blessed Thomas Palaser during Elizabeth I's reign, and Blesseds Thomas Bullaker, Henry Heath, Francis Bell and John Woodcock in the Commonwealth Interregnum of 1642 to 1646. As the Order of Friars Minor in Great Britain website reminds us: "Several other Friars died in prison and many more suffered periods of imprisonment in serving the Catholic population of England during the penal years."
