Beato Giovanni Speed Martire
† Durham, Inghilterra, 4 febbraio 1594
Il laico John Speed, martire inglese, fu condannato
durante la persecuzione di Elisabetta I per aver aiutato i sacerdoti cattolici.
Fu beatificato nel 1929 da Papa Pio XI.
Martirologio Romano: A Durham in Inghilterra,
beato Giovanni Speed, martire, che, condannato a morte sotto la regina
Elisabetta I per aver prestato aiuto ai sacerdoti, meritò la corona del
martirio.
Il beato John (o Giovanni) Speed, fu un martire
inglese ucciso nel 1584 a Durham. La sua unica colpa, oltre al fatto di essere
cattolico e quindi essersi rifiutato di far parte della Chiesa d'Inghilterra,
fu quella di aver scortato un sacerdote durante le sue visite alle case dei
cattolici. Quel prete era John Boste, missionario clandestino nella sua stessa
terra, ucciso nel 1594 e canonizzato nel 1970. Speed forse fu arrestato proprio
assieme a Boste nella casa di Grace Claxton, anch'essa condannata ma poi
risparmiata perché era incinta. Accanto a Boste, il beato Speed aveva trovato
la sua via per la santità: fu beatificato nel 1929.
