Our Lord entered the world in the womb of the Virgin from Nazareth. He arrived in Bethlehem to no fanfare save that of the cattle and oxen. They wouldn't even have Him at the local inn. Only a few people came to see Him.
His true servants, like the Tyburn martyrs, are rarely glorified by the world. They are derided, cursed, spat on, attacked and forgotten. But not by all. We don't forget them and we proclaim their glorious memory from the rooftops, but we never forget that the servant is not greater than the master. They persecuted Him and if we stay true to Him they will persecute us too.
May our generation burn with the faith of our fathers.

Wish I could've been there.
