Trad West @trad_west_ - >Be Father Thomas Byles
>Passenger on the Titanic in 1912
>The "unsinkable" ship hits an iceberg and starts going down in the freezing Atlantic
>Absolute panic and chaos break out as people realize there aren't enough lifeboats
>You are offered a seat on a lifeboat to save yourself. >Refuse.
>You are offered a seat a second time.
>Refuse
>Instead of trying to survive, you head straight to the rear deck where the doomed passengers are trapped
>Stand completely calm amidst the absolute terror
>Spend your final hours hearing confessions, offering general absolution, and leading the people in the Rosary
>Act as a literal bridge between heaven and earth for terrified souls right up until the freezing water swallows the stern
>The ultimate display of a shepherd laying down his life for his flock
This is what heroic virtue looks like.
