Saint of the Day Quote: Blessed John Ingram

I say that I am a priest, and that my exercise and practice of priesthood cannot be made treason by any Christian law; and I beseech God to forgive both you and them that make it otherways. And I do with all my heart forgive you, and all my accusers and persecutors, and so I beseech God to have mercy upon me, and to strengthen me with patience and constancy in mine agony.

 

Martyred July 26, 1594.  He was twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.
