St. Thomas More and the Courtier
St. Thomas More, the celebrated Lord Chancellor of England, took great delight in serving Mass, and though occupied with affairs of state, he often served several in succession. On one occasion, a certain courtier, sadly deficient in faith, said to St. Thomas that King Henry would be displeased at his lowering himself to the duties of an acolyte. “Surely,” replied the chancellor, “the king cannot be displeased at the homage which I offer to his King.”
