September 28th: Memorial of Saint Wenceslaus, Martyr
Gospel text
Jn 12:24-26
Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit."
Gospel's Commentary
Today we admire the sanctity of a ruler: Saint Wenceslaus I of Bohemia, a model of holiness for all people, especially the leaders of communities and peoples. Today there is a need for believers with credibility, who are ready to spread in every area of society the Christian principles and ideals by which their action is inspired. —Only those who maintain in their hearts a holy “fear of God” can also put their trust in man and spend their lives building a more just and fraternal world.
