11th April - Saint Stanislaus
Just as a baptized person comes to Christian maturity by means of this sacrament of Confirmation, so Divine Providence gave to our nation, after its Baptism, the historical moment of Confirmation. Saint Stanislaus, who was separated by almost a whole century from the period of the Baptism and from the mission of Saint Adalbert, especially symbolizes this moment by the fact that he rendered witness to Christ by his own blood - Saint John Paul II.
Saint Stanislaus, your life of virtue, courage, and charity was a gift to the Church of Poland. Please pray for us that we will become true witnesses of Christ and sources of inspiration to others by never backing away from opposition, always preferring persecution over sin, and a holy life over fear of death. Amen!
