SUMMARY:Saint Stanislaus
DESCRIPTION:Saint Stanislaus\nSaint of the Day for April 11\n(July 26\, 1030 – April 11\, 1079)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODApr11.mp3\nSaint Stanislaus’ Story\nAnyone who reads the history of Eastern Europe cannot help but chance on the name of Stanislaus\, the saintly but tragic bishop of Kraków\, patron of Poland. He is remembered with Saints Thomas More and Thomas Becket for vigorous opposition to the evils of an unjust government. \nBorn in Szczepanow near Kraków on July 26\, 1030\, he was ordained a priest after being educated in the cathedral schools of Gniezno\, then capital of Poland\, and at Paris. He was appointed preacher and archdeacon to the bishop of Kraków\, where his eloquence and example brought about real conversion in many of his penitents\, both clergy and laity. He became bishop of Kraków in 1072. \nDuring an expedition against the Grand Duchy of Kiev\, Stanislaus became involved in the political situation of Poland. Known for his outspokenness\, he aimed his attacks at the evils of the peasantry and the king\, especially the unjust wars and immoral acts of King Boleslaus II. \nThe king first excused himself\, then made a show of penance\, then relapsed into his old ways. Stanislaus continued his open opposition in spite of charges of treason and threats of death\, finally excommunicating the king. Enraged\, the latter ordered soldiers to kill the bishop. When they refused\, the king killed Stanislaus with his own hands. \nForced to flee to Hungary\, Boleslaus supposedly spent the rest of his life as a penitent in the Benedictine abbey in Osiak. \n\nReflection\nSaints John the Baptist\, Thomas Becket\, Thomas More\, and Stanislaus are a few of the prophets who dared to denounce corruption in high places. They followed in the footsteps of Jesus himself\, who pointed out the moral corruption in the religious leadership of his day. It is a risky business. \n\nSaint Stanislaus is the Patron Saint of:\nPoland
