While many are familiar with the popular Christmas hymn "Good King Wenceslaus," few realize that the song is about a real king who loved serving the poor.

He remains a prime example for all leaders and politicians, showing them what kind of priorities they should have.

Pope Benedict XVI reflected on the life of St. Wenceslaus in 2009 and mentioned his holy example.

Furthermore, he preferred the weak and downtrodden of society, always conscious of his responsibility to protect the most vulnerable.

His example remains a powerful one and shows to us, and all political leaders, the type of priorities we should all maintain.
