Before he died, Wenceslaus forgave his brother and asked God's mercy for his soul. Martyred at the age of twenty-two, Wenceslaus is the national hero and patron of the Czech Republic. He is the first Slav to be canonized.

Real holiness to forgive his brother!

Sounds like Drahomira was the 10th century version of Hillary Clinton and Boleslav was the 10th century version of Barack Obama . . .

St. Vaclav is my Bill’s Confirmation patron. I’ll have to cut Bill some slack today ... as long as he’s considerate to his brothers!
