The Translation of St. Thomas Becket's Relics | A Lesson in Repentance (7 July)

About this sermon

On the Feast of the Translation of the Relics of St. Thomas Becket (Thomas of Canterbury), this sermon reflects on one of Christianity's greatest martyrs and the enduring call to conversion, repentance, and zeal for the salvation of souls. Discover how a near-death experience transformed Thomas Becket's life, leading him from worldly ambition to heroic sanctity. Learn about his daily penances, his unwavering defense of the freedom of the Church, his foretold martyrdom, and the remarkable repentance of King Henry II and even Becket's murderers. The homily also honors Saints Cyril and Methodius, Apostles to the Slavs, whose missionary zeal reminds every Christian of Christ's burning desire: "I thirst for souls." This powerful reflection challenges us to examine our own conversion, deepen our love for Christ, and labor for the salvation of souls.
