Prayer of St. Boniface

Eternal God, the refuge and help of all your children, we praise you for all you have given us, for all you have done for us, for all that you are to us. In our weakness , you are our strength, in our darkness, you are light, in our sorrow you are comfort and peace We cannot number your blessings, we cannot declare your love: For all your blessings we bless you. May we live as in your presence, and love the things that you love, and serve you in our daily lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This beautiful prayer of St. Boniface, the seventh century missionary who brought Christianity to Germany, sums up the Christian faith and all Christian's love for Jesus Christ.

The St. Boniface prayer :

† Praises Jesus
† Thanks Jesus for His sacrifice
† Says Jesus is strength and light
† Says Jesus offers peace and comfort
† Blesses Jesus
† Reminds believers to live a life in Christ
† Reminds believers to be servants of Christ

Declare Love for Jesus

St. Boniface declared his love for Jesus by leaving his home and bringing Christ to the people of Germany. He is known as the Apostle to Germany and gave up his life for his belief in Jesus. Christians today remember St. Boniface by wearing a St. Boniface medal and reciting his prayer of love and faith in Jesus Christ.

Wearing a St. Boniface pendant is a way for Christians to declare their faith in Jesus Christ openly, letting the world know of the goodness of Jesus Christ. All Christians should live by the example that St. Boniface gave to us. In the words of St. Boniface, he tells all Christians:

"In her voyage across the ocean of this world, the Church is like a ship pounded by the waves of life's different stresses. Our duty is not to abandon ship, but to keep her on course".
