Good St. Stephen needs to be celebrated as fulsomely as the day prior. Birth and death are so interconnected. There are so many martyrs through the ages whose lives are totally lost in history, but who made such differences in the lives around them. From St. Stephen to the modern day through the concentration camps to the altars of cathedrals to the streets of our cities to the killing fields to Tiananmen Square to the parents and children of Africa and the Middle East . . . it is so hard to keep ourselves sane in the face of such destruction.. Thank you for the reminder of the good of King Wenceslaus.
