Stanislaus became one of the earliest native Polish Bishops. This turned out to be a significant decision for the Polish Church.
Once appointed, Stanislaus was a highly assertive Bishop who got into conflict with the Polish King, Bolesław II the Bold, “pro suis actibus sceleratis” (“because of his wicked deeds”).
Bolesław and his Nobles assassinated Bishop Stanislaus in the Church of Saint Michæl, in Poland, on 11 April 1079, and cut up his corpse into seventy-two pieces.

Poland was laid under “Interdict” for four years, and the See of Kraków remained vacant. In 1088, the body of Bishop Stanislaus was transferred to his Cathedral in Kraków, and, eventually, he was Venerated as a Saint.[57]
In 1068, the German King, Henry IV, attempted to divorce Bertha of Savoy. The Papal Legate, Peter Damian, hinted that any further attempt at a divorce would lead the Pope to refuse to perform his Coronation. Henry obeyed, and his wife, who had retired to Lorsch Abbey returned to Court.[9]
A series of disputes broke out between Bishop Gerhard (Iaromirus, Jaromi) of Prague and Bishop John (Brewnow) of Olmouc, Bohemia. Duke Vratislaus II of Bohemia drew this to the attention of Pope Alexander II when he happened to be at the Papal Court in 1073. Alexander sent “Nuntii” [Editor: Envoys] to Prague to sort the matter out, but they were captured, mutilated, and then murdered.
Shocked at the enormity of the offence, Pope Alexander sent Cardinal Rudolph to Prague. When Gerhard refused to co-operate with the Cardinal, he was deposed and Prague was laid under “Interdict”; when the situation quieted down, he restored the Bishop and lifted the Interdict, but ordered both Bishops to present themselves before the Papal Court.
When they appeared, Pope Alexander confirmed the deposition of the Bishop of Prague, though he restored him once again at the pleading of Countess Matilda of Tuscany.[58]
Pope Alexander II died at the Lateran Palace on 21 April 1073, and was buried in the Lateran Basilica.[59]

Psalm 30. The Introit For Quinquagesima Sunday.
Text is from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal.
Psalm xxx. 3 - 4.
Esto mihi in Deum protectórum, et in locum refúgii, ut salvum me fácias:
Quóniam firmaméntum meum, et refúgium meum es tu:
Et propter nomen tuum dux mihi eris, et enútries me.
In te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum:
In justítia tua líbera me, et éripe me.
Versicle:
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto,
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Be Thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of refuge, to save me:
For Thou art my strength and my refuge:
And for Thy Name’s sake, Thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
Psalm xxx. 2.
In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded:
Deliver me in Thy justice, and save me.
Versicle:
Glory be to The Father, and to The Son, and to The Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
World without end.
Amen.

The Lenten Station is at the Sanctuary where the body of the illustrious Roman Virgin, Saint Cecilia, rests. It was there she lived and died a Martyr. In the 5th-Century A.D., this Church was mentioned as one of the most celebrated Parochial or Titular Churches of Rome. It is situated in Trastevere. It was customary to read, in this Church, the Gospel in which Jesus tells a woman it is necessary to drink His Chalice, if one is to participate in His Glory.
We read, at the Epistle, The Prayer of Mardochai, in favour of the Jewish people, whom the impious Aman had determined to destroy. He implored The Lord to turn their sadness into joy. The Christian people, in the same way, are mourning in their Lenten Penance and are looking forward to The Holy Paschal Joys. But, to deserve them, as the Gospel tells us, we must first drink The Chalice of The One Who came to shed His Blood to Redeem us, and Who will make us sharers in His Resurrection, if we die to our sins.
Let us abstain from the food which sustains our bodies, and from the vices which poison our Souls (Collect).

The first Church on this site was founded probably in the 3rd-Century A.D., by Pope Urban I; it was devoted to the Roman Martyr, Cecilia, Martyred, it is said, under Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander.
By the Late-5th-Century A.D., at The Synod of 499 A.D. of Pope Symmachus, the Church is indicated with the Titulus Ceciliae. Tradition holds that the Church was built over the house of the Saint.
The Baptistry associated with this Church, together with the remains of a Roman house of The Early Empire, was found during excavations under the Chapel of The Relics. On

22 November, 545 A.D., Pope Vigilius was Celebrating the Saint in the Church, when the Emissary of Empress Theodora, Antemi Scribone, captured him.
Pope Paschal I rebuilt the Church in 822 A.D., and moved here the Relics of Saint Cecilia from the Catacombs of Saint Calixtus. More Restorations followed in the 18th-Century.
With the death of Carlo Maria Martini, in 2012, Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti was appointed Cardinal Priest assigned to the Titulus S. Cæciliæ.

Among the previous Titulars are Pope Stephen III, Adam Easton, Thomas Wolsey and Giuseppe Maria Doria Pamphili.
Among the artefacts remaining, from the 13th-Century, are a mural painting, depicting the Final Judgement (1289-1293), by Pietro Cavallini, in the Choir of the Monks, and the Ciborium (1293) in the Presbytery, by Arnolfo di Cambio.

The Gothic Ciborium is surrounded by four Marble Columns, White and Black, decorated with statuettes of Angels, Saints, Prophets, and Evangelists.
The Apse has remains of 9th-Century A.D. mosaics, depicting the Redeemer with Saints Paul, Cecilia, Pope Paschal I, Peter, Valerian, and Agatha.

The pavement in front of the statue encloses a marble slab, with Maderno’s sworn statement that he has recorded the body as he saw it when the tomb was opened in 1599.
The statue depicts the three axe strokes described in the 5th-Century A.D. account of her Martyrdom. It also is meant to underscore the incorruptibility of her body (an attribute of some Saints), which miraculously still had congealed blood, after Centuries.
The Crypt is also noteworthy, decorated in the Cosmatesque Style, containing the Relics of Saint Cecilia and her husband, Saint Valerian.
