Saint Philip Howard - Unglamorous Martyrdom
By birth, Philip Howard (1557-1595) was very privileged, for he was the eldest son of the Duke of Norfolk, and heir
to the premier earldom, as well as five baronies.
He was brought up a Protestant in Reformation England, but when his father, the then Duke, proposed marriage to
Mary Queen of Scots, he was found guilty of High Treason. Philip’s family thus fell out of grace with Queen
Elizabeth, yet he was later presented at court and enjoyed the favour of the Queen. This came to an end when
Philip became reconciled to Anne Dacres, whom he had married at the age of 12. She was a strong Catholic, and
after being present at a disputation between Philip himself was strongly drawn to Catholicism and converted,
Protestant and Catholic theologians (led by St. Edmond Campion). He and his wife decided to live on the Continent,
but were caught at sea on the way to France. He was tried for treason, imprisoned in theTower of London, and
condemned to death.
The sentence of execution was never carried out, but he languished in prison, not being allowed visits from his
wife, or the son he had never seen. He died in the Tower from poor health, after ten years continuous
imprisonment.
To change all this: - to get out of the Tower, to be restored to his family and his privileged place in society, all he
would have had to do is to renounce his Catholic religion, but he would not.
Philip was canonised by Paul VI in 1970 as one of the 40 Martyrs. It makes the point that people become martyrs
by many different routes: Some have been martyred by being fed to the lions, others by being hung, drawn and
quartered (as Edmund Campion); and, for many, their anguish and their testing were in some way glorious, and did
not last long. Philip did not seek martyrdom as such, but, in terms of this life, he gave up everything. And there was
little glamour to his long drawn out road to martyrdom to help sustain him.
Perseverance and steadfastness in the face of even the ordinary temptations of modern life can be very challenging
today. God values such commitment greatly. The people we mix with in our daily lives may not think much of us, or
even notice us, but God does, for He ‘looks at the heart’. (1 Samuel16:7), and He recognises our sanctity.
Father John
WHAT WE BELIEVE: You are invited to come together over six Thursdays in order to examine what it is we say when
we recite the Creed each Sunday. Our parish has had a few knocks recently, and it would be good to return to the
essence of why we gather on Sundays. You may have wondered at some of the phrases of what we declare we
believe, but have never got down to looking into them deeply. So now is the opportunity to view six video
reflections on different passages of the Creed, and then for us to discuss them. This Catholic series includes
reflections by Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, Archbishop Mark Coleridge, Lord David Alton, Abbot Christopher Jamieson,
Revd. Nicky Gumble, Jean Vanier and Cardinal Arinze. It starts this Thursday 23rd October at 7.30pm until 9pm and
then continues on the following dates: 6, 13, 20, 27 November and 4 December, - in the Church Hall.
I would like to thank everyone who sponsored me for the half marathon
last Sunday. It went very well and I will have raised over £500 for the
charity, thank you very much Mary Tidmarsh.
MASS INTENTIONS - If you would like a Mass intention please fill out an envelope which is placed
at the back of the Church and put it through the Presbytery door, or bring it round to the Parish
Office (opening hours) at the back of the Presbytery. Please be aware when requesting a specific
date to allow plenty of time, the diary is now fully booked until 14th November.
