 the majority of our saints were martyred and that that's what you were seeing when you were in london on this pilgrimage and we compare the reality of a pilgrimage of a trip that to some might seem like a vacation to the reality of the saints were martyred that went before us when you said that martyrs received the best of what god had in store for them i think that that's the most challenging part of this idea of how god has us as pilgrims in this strange land that isn't our home that isn't our promised land that isn't heaven
