We finally arrived in Canterbury today after a long and grueling journey and proceeded immediately to the shrine of St. Thomas á Becket.
We all paid our respects to the wonderful man who gave of his life in a most terrible way for what he believed in. It was a very solemn afternoon and a very quiet and reflective moment for all of us. Seeing the shrine today made all the trials and tribulations of the journey worth it.
This experience helped me realize the importance of standing up for your beliefs. If you feel strongly about something, never give up on that belief regardless of the persecution you receive. As I have quoted Aristotle many times, I will leave you for now with a quote of my own:
"Do as you believe and believe what you do. No matter the punishment, you will never regret your actions."
- The Oxford Cleric
