ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 2nd of August
SAINT EUSEBIUS OF VERCELLI, BISHOP
Saint Eusebius was born at the beginning of the forth century in Sardinia. He became a member of the Roman clergy and was elected first bishop of Vercelli in 345. He spread religion by his preaching and established the monastic life in his diocese. Because of his faith he was driven into exile by Emperor Constantinus and endured much suffering. Returning to his country, he worked tirelessly against the Arians for the restoration of the faith.
PRAYER:
Lead us, Lord God, to imitate the constancy of Saint Eusebius
in affirming the divinity of your Son,
so that,
by preserving the faith he taught as your Bishop,
we may merit a share in the very life of your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
