ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY
Saints celebrated on the 1st of January
ST CONCORDIUS, PRIEST AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Concordius, priest and martyr. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Spoleto, in the time of the emperor Antoninus, Saint Concordius, priest and martyr, who was beaten with clubs, and then put to the torture. After a long confinement in prison, where he was visited by an angel, he lost his life by the sword."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who celebrate the anniversary of the death of your holy martyr Concordius may by his intercession be delivered from all evils that threaten us. 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.
