Saints celebrated on the 1st of June
SAINT JUSTIN, MARTYR
Saint Justin, philosopher and martyr, was born of pagan parents in Flavia Neapolis in Samaria at the beginning of the second century. Following his conversion to the faith, he wrote many works in defence of religion, of which we have only two: the ‘Apology’ and the ‘Dialogue with Trypho’. He also opened a school in Rome in which public debates were held. Justin was martyred with several companions during the reign of Marcus Aurelius around the year 165.
PRAYER:
O God, who through the Cross
wondrously taught Saint Justin the Martyr
the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ,
grant us, through his intercession,
that, having rejected deception and error,
we may become steadfast in the faith.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
