SAINT BONIFACE, MARTYR OF RUSSIA
Today, we also commemorate Saint Boniface. The Roman Martyrology states:
"The same day, Saint Boniface, martyr, a disciple of blessed Romuald, who was sent by the Roman Pontiff to preach the Gospel in Russia. Having passed through fire uninjured, and baptised the king and his people, he was killed by the enraged brother of the king, and thus gained the palm of martyrdom which he ardently desired."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Boniface may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
