On St. Boniface.
Pope Pius XII tells the riveting story of the life of the English Benedictine, St. Boniface, who became the apostle of Germany and the true "Father of the German people" by giving them life in Christ - incorporating them into His mystical body - all the while demonstrating a steadfast obedience to the Bishop of Rome.
A martyr, he is buried in Fulda, Germany, where, to this day, the German bishops continue to hold their conferences. It is also a popular place of pilgrimage.
