Lent With Saint Thomas More

From The Sadness of Christ:

Now as he with his own mouth thrice advised them to pray, so because he would not by his word
only, but by his example too, teach them so to do, he in his own person did thrice the same himself;
signifying unto us that we must pray unto the Trinity, that is to wit, the unbegotten Father, and the Son
of him begotten equal with his Father, and the Holy Ghost likewise equal with them both and proceeding
from them both.
Of these three persons three things must we pray. For pardon for that is already past, grace to go
through with that we have in hand, and wisdom warily to foresee what is to come.

From the first time the issue of the marriage came up, I suspect that Saint Thomas saw his doom slowly approaching.
