The chancellor declined Henry’s request, warning the king that such a position would separate them on moral principles. Sir Thomas told him: “There are several things you do now in prejudice of the rights of the Church which make me fear you would require of me what I could not agree to.” The king paid no heed and hastened to have Thomas consecrated archbishop on the octave of Pentecost, 1162. Becket finally accepted the office as “God’s hidden will.”

Obedient to the king and in loving submission to the will of God, Becket left his household and his finery and began the life of an ascetic. Next to his skin he secretly wore a hairshirt. The beloved archbishop spent his days distributing alms to the poor, studying Holy Scripture, visiting the infirmary and supervising monks in their work.  
Послушный королю и смиренный в любви своей перед волей Бога, Бэкет оставил свои владения, пышный образ жизни и начал жизнь аскета. На теле он тайно носил власяницу. Всеми любимый архиепископ проводил свои дни, помогая бедным, изучая Священное Писание, посещая приюты и наблюдая за работой монахов.
