Filipo Howard

Filipo Howard (28 Juni 1557 – 19 Oktoba 1595) alikuwa mtu wa ukoo maarufu nchini Uingereza na binamu wa Malkia Elizabeti I.

Baada ya kuishi kwa anasa katika ikulu, alipata uongofu wa kimaadili aliposikiliza hoja za mapadri Wakatoliki (1581) na hatimaye aliacha madhehebu ya Anglikana ajiunge na Kanisa Katoliki, ingawa kwa siri, kutokana na dhuluma ya serikali.

Hatimaye alikamatwa na kufungwa hadi kifo chake miaka 10 baadayehttps://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/93086 . Gerezani alishangaza watu kwa jinsi alivyoishi katika sala na matendo ya toba hadi alipokwisha kwa kuteswa na kwa kukosa mahitaji Howard spent ten years in the Tower, until his death from dysentery. He petitioned the Queen as he lay dying to allow him to see his wife and his son, who had been born after his imprisonment. The Queen responded that "If he will but once attend the Protestant Service, he shall not only see his wife and children, but be restored to his honors and estates with every mark of my royal favor." To this, Howard is supposed to have replied: "Tell Her Majesty if my religion be the cause for which I suffer, sorry I am that I have but one life to lose." He remained in the Tower, never seeing his wife or daughter again, and died alone on Sunday 19 October 1595. Cfr. Homily of Cardinal Basil Hume, OSB, Arundel Cathedral, 25 October, 1995 .

Papa Pius XI alimtangaza mwenye heri tarehe 15 Desemba 1929, halafu Papa Paulo VI tarehe 25 Oktoba 1970 alimtangaza kuwa mtakatifu mfiadini pamoja na wenzake 39.

Sikukuu yake ni tarehe ya kifodini chakeMartyrologium Romanum.
