Saint of the day

Father Roger has returned, another moment of innocence and devotion allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through him. Educating the attending on St Wenceslaus, he delved into politics. He spoke of political corruption, establishing the fact that in his country the common people trusted NO politicians. All politicians were recognized as liars. Experience taught the people he was raised amongst to distrust any who sought political advancement; “They promised heaven, yet produced hell”. He advanced his homily by stressing that St Wenceslaus was a different kind of politician, a Christian king compassionate and giving to all people, a true servant to those who served him. Elaborating on the persecution of St Wenceslaus and his eventual assassination by his own brother, Father Roger, I am convinced unknowingly, elucidated on the current state of political chaos in the United States. It was a remarkable moment of soothing, a peace offering to the noise of the world. I heard some men discussing a similar reaction to the homily after Mass in the lobby. With thoughtful Catholic minds, they expressed bewilderment by the severity of attack upon Judge Kavanaugh. There was humility, peace and trust within their voices.
