A Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation
by St Thomas More

Awaiting execution in 1535 for refusing to betray his faith, Thomas More opens the door on his own interior life by creating a fictional dialogue.  It takes place in 16th century Hungary between a young man, Vincent, and his dying but wise old unle, Anthony.

Vincent is paralyzed by fear of an impending Turkish invasion which could force hime to betray his faith or die a martyr. As he pours out his fears, Anthony responds as only the calm and clear-headed St Thomas More could do: on the comfort of God in difficulties, the benefits of suffering, atonement for evil acts, faintheartedness and the temptations to suicide, and scrupulosity.
