SUMMARY:Saints John Jones and John Wall
DESCRIPTION:Saints John Jones and John Wall\nSaint of the Day for July 12\n(c.1530 – 1598; 1620 – 1679)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODJul12.mp3\nSaints John Jones and John Wall’s story\nThese two friars were martyred in England in the 16th and 17th centuries for refusing to deny their faith. \nJohn Jones was Welsh. He was ordained a diocesan priest and was twice imprisoned for administering the sacraments before leaving England in 1590. He joined the Franciscans at the age of 60 and returned to England three years later while Queen Elizabeth I was at the height of her power. John ministered to Catholics in the English countryside until his imprisonment in 1596. He was condemned to be hanged\, drawn\, and quartered. John was executed on July 12\, 1598. \nJohn Wall was born in England but was educated at the English College of Douai\, Belgium. Ordained in Rome in 1648\, he entered the Franciscans in Douai several years later. In 1656 he returned to work secretly in England. \nIn 1678\, Titus Oates worked many English people into a frenzy over an alleged papal plot to murder the king and restore Catholicism in that country. In that year Catholics were legally excluded from Parliament\, a law which was not repealed until 1829. John Wall was arrested and imprisoned in 1678\, and was executed the following year. \nJohn Jones and John Wall were canonized in 1970. \n\nReflection\nEvery martyr knows how to save his/her life and yet refuses to do so. A public repudiation of the faith would save any of them. But some things are more precious than life itself. These martyrs prove that their 20th-century countryman\, C. S. Lewis\, was correct in saying that courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point\, that is\, at the point of highest reality.
