Feb 21 1595 Jesuit St. Robert Southwell was hanged, drawn and quartered in Tyburn. For six years he carried on a clandestine ministry in Elizabethan England before his arrest. His famous poem "The Burning Babe" describes a vision of Christ on Xmas. (Icon: William Hart McNichols)
Conversation
Not where I breath, but where I love, I live;
Not where I love, but where I am, I die;
The life I wish, must future glory give,
The deaths I feele in present daungers lye.
--St. Robert Southwell, SJ
