He spent 2 years as a POW before escaping across Europe to Spain and safety. He joined SOE and was dropped into France in 1944 to coordinate and command partisans 3/7

Long thread:

If we were allowed to go to Mass it’s likely we’d have a couple of verses of Faith of our Fathers today 1/15
“Faith of our Fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword:
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious word.
Faith of our Fathers! Holy Faith!
We will be true to thee till death!”

It’s exhilarating and urges one to heroic virtue. 2/15
In penal times, at the English college in Rome students gathered around this picture to sing a Te Deum whenever news reached Rome of a martyrdom of a former student. The priesthood was a heroic vocation for which one would risk ones life. 3/15
