The Feast of St. John Houghton, O. Cart., Priest and Martyr
is today. There is information on him here. I blogged about him last year as well. It is also the feast of his fellow Carthusian martyrs, St. Augustine Webster, O. Cart., Priest and Martyr and St. Robert Lawrence, O.Cart., Priest and Martyr, as well as St. John Payne, Priest and Martyr and St. Richard Reynolds,C.SS.S., Priest and Martyr . In addition it is the feast of Blessed Anthony Page, Priest and Martyr and Blessed George Haydock, Priest and Martyr. Prayers that their sufferings would bear fruit in the return of England to Christ and the return of those in the Anglican communion to His Church would be appropriate.
