29 December -- St Thomas Becket
O GOD, for whose Church the glorious Bishop Thomas Becket fell by the swords of wicked men: grant, we beseech thee; that all who call upon him for succour may be profited by the obtaining of all that they desire; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Fr Z this morning has a very interesting post about the finding of the prayer book -- psalter, actually -- that St Thomas was holding when he was murdered. You can find it here. Clicke, lege as we used to say in the early days of Catholic blogdom. It's a fascinating read.
