CATHOLICISM SAINTS ST. WENCESLAUS

*Wenceslaus I was the duke of Bohemia from 921 until his death probably either in 935 or 929 (although 935 is favored today). His younger brother, Boleslaus the Cruel, is commonly considered the perpetrator of Wenceslaus’ assassination by the Czech public and the Roman Catholic Church. However, there is a debate on whether his death was an accident or a murder. According to some historians it was the result of a quarrel between the two brothers or their parties (probably after a night of drinking). Boleslaus’ men then killed Wenceslaus in the subsequent chaotic fight.

**Saint Lorenzo Ruiz was born in Manila of a Chinese father and a Filipino mother, both Christians. Thus he learned Chinese and Tagalog from them, and Spanish from the Dominicans whom he served as altar boy and sacristan. He became a professional calligrapher, transcribing documents in beautiful penmanship. He was a full member of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary under Dominican auspices. He married and had two sons and a daughter.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story – those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.  

Ps 107:1–3
