Lessons 4-6 from the Divine Office of St. Stanislas, Bishop and Martyr. . Stanislas was a Pole, and was born of a noble family at Krakow. His godly parents, who had been childless for thirty years, obtained him from God by prayer, and from his earliest years he gave token of the holiness of life which afterwards marked him. When he was a young man he applied himself heartily to all useful learning, and was deeply read in the sacred teaching of the Canons and of Theological science. After the death of his parents he inherited great possessions, but he sold them, and distributed the price to the poor, purposing himself to become a monk. However, by the Providence of God, Lampert, Bishop of Krakow, named him Canon of the Cathedral Church of that diocese, and Preacher in the same: and afterwards, he was elected, against his own will, to succeed to Lampert's place. In this office he was a bright and shining light of all virtues that become a shepherd of souls, especially of tenderness towards the poor.
