Posted on by AnaStpaul

Saint of the Day – 4 August – Blessed William Horne O.Cart. (Died 1540) Martyr, Carthusian Lay Brother of the Charterhouse in London. William was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn Tree, London, for treason for refusing to accept King Henry VIII as the Supreme Head of the Church. Additional Memorial – 4 May as one of the Carthusian Martyrs of London.

William was the last of the Carthusians who died for Christ and His Church. He was one of 18 Carthusian Monks murdered between May 1535 and August 1540. Some were hanged, drawn and quartered, some were hanged in chains and others were starved to death.

We have no personal information of Blessed William escept relating to his Martyrdom. He was arrested for opposing the religious policies of King Henry VIII (reign 1509-1547) which included the imprisonment of Catholics and the destruction of Monasteries. William was executed at Tyburn with two companions.

In the great persecution against Catholics decreed by Henry VIII, King of England, each religious Order of the time, together with the Diocesan Clergy, left a tribute of blood and Martyrdom for the defence of the Catholic Church.

He was Beatified on 29 December 1886 by Pope Leo XIII.

A lovely personal description of St Dominic here:

The Roman Martyrology states today: “At Bologna, St Dominic, Confessor, Founder of the Order of Friars Preachers, most renowned for sanctity and learning. He preserved his chastity unsullied to the end of his life and by his great merits, raised three persons from the dead. After having repressed heresies by his preaching and instructed many in the religious and Godly life, he rested in peace on the 6th of this month. His Feast, however, is celebrated on this day by decree of Pope Paul IV.”
