Memorial - St. Boniface Patron of Germany, Martyr
St. Boniface was one of those great middle of the first millenium saints that made their mark converting pagans left and right (St. Patrick was another).
St. Boniface, you gained eternal glory by dying to preach the Gospel to those who were trapped in the bondage of idolatry, worshipping that which was not God rather than their Creator. Today, millions turn from God for the worship of money, sex, technology, and any number of other idols. Pray for us that we might be willing to die, both to self and in that martyrdom of the body, so that our modern world might find eternal joy in the home of God their Father. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
St. Boniface, pray for us!
