“The scholars speak in connection to this of pragmatism and pragmatic Christianity; we Frisians remember the old saying that says the same: Praten is neat, mar dwaen is in ding. And we mirror ourselves in Willibrord and Boniface who, even though it could cost them their life, even though they foresaw the greatest difficulties due to it, out of love for the Frisian people and out of love for God, bore witness to their faith.”
St. Titus Brandsma
From “Sermon during the vigil of the National Pilgrimage to Dokkum,” translated by Maurits Sinninghe Damsté.
