Almighty God, who didst call thy faithful servant Boniface to be a witness and martyr in the lands of Germany and Friesland, and by his labor and suffering didst raise up a people for thine own possession: Pour forth thy Holy Spirit upon thy Church in every land, that by the service and sacrifice of many thy holy Name may be glorified and thy kingdom enlarged; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

St Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, born c675, “Apostle to the Germans”, played a leading part in the mission of the Anglo-Saxon church to northern continental Europe. This is his statue at Mainz where he was bishop. He was martyred on this day in 754. pic.twitter.com/f3jD0MHURk
