ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 17th of September
SAINT COLUMBA OF CORDOBA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
This saint was a holy nun in the monastery of Tabanos, who was beheaded for her faith by the Moors, under their King Mahomad, in Spain, in 853.
SHE WAS KILLED FOR THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
Her body was thrown into the river Guadalquiver, but recovered by the Christians.
HER RELICS
Her relics are venerated, part in the priory of St Columba, part in the royal abbey of our Lady at Niagara, but both in Old Castile.
From Fr Butler's Lives of the Saints
PRAYER:
May blessed Columba, Virgin and Martyr, who was ever pleasing to you by the merit of her chastity and by her trust in your power, implore for us your forgiveness, we beseech you, O God. 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.
