Thomas More Franciscan Friars of the Immac

Thomas More Franciscan Friars of the ImmacAwarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1935, Raymond Chambers's acclaimed biography of Saint Thomas More stands as one of the finest accounts of this great figure of English history. Beginning with his early life in late 15th century England, Chambers tracks More's rise through Parliament and the British social hierarchy, culminating in his appointment as Lord Chancellor in 1529. The result of this chancellorship is of course widely known:

is a joyous way to help children understand God's love through the Sacrament of Reconciliation

a salvation achieved through my suffering

This is not a treatise of academic theology

he nevertheless has remained nearly invisible as man and saint

Mysteriously attracted to Jesus Christ since the age of eight

and all eyes are forthwith fixed on him

he entered the novitiate of the Capuchin

"O Christmas Tree

”—MARK MURPHY

he remains consistently optimistic about the divine possibilities self-knowledge can reveal
