About this episode

The episode commemorates the Memorial of St. Boniface, exploring his life and martyrdom while reflecting on the Gospel of the Good Shepherd.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Boniface (c. 673-680-754), Bishop and Martyr, a Benedictine monk in the Middle Ages who was chosen by divine Providence to become Germany's great apostle and patron. Catholic Germany still venerates him as its father in the faith. The famous abbey of Fulda, where his body lies, has remained the national shrine of Catholic Germany. When he was about to administer confirmation to a group of neophytes at Dockum, a band of barbarous pagans overpowered and put him to death. In today's Gospel (John 10:11-16), we see Christ the Lord as the good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep – all of us – without hesitation. "I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd." Ave Maria! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy! + Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca |…
