June 5: Saint Boniface, Bishop and Martyr—Memorial
c. 675–754
Patron Saint of Great Germania
Pre-Congregation canonization
Liturgical Color: Red
Quote:
Gregory, the servant of the servants of God, to Boniface, a holy priest: Your holy purpose, as it has been explained to us, and your well-tried faith lead us to make use of your services in spreading the Gospel, which by the grace of God has been committed to our care. Knowing that from your childhood you have been a student of Sacred Scripture and that you now wish to use the talent entrusted to you by God in dedicating yourself to missionary work, we rejoice in your faith and desire to have you as our colleague in this enterprise. Wherefore., since you have humbly submitted to us your plans regarding this mission,…in the name of the indivisible Trinity and by the authority of Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles…we now place your humble and devout work upon a secure basis and decree that you go forth to preach the Word of God to those people who are still bound by the shackles of paganism. ~Letter from Pope Gregory III to Saint Boniface
Prayer:
Saint Boniface, you heard God calling you as a youth and responded with zeal. You continued to respond to His will for the rest of your life. Through that holy obedience and service, the gift of eternal salvation was bestowed upon many. Please pray for me, that I may have the courage and zeal that you had, so that I will never hesitate to say “Yes” to the will of God. Saint Boniface and companions, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
