ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 29th of March
ST EUSTASIUS, ABBOT OF LUXEUIL
Saint Eustasius (Eustachius) succeeded his master St Columban in the charge of abbot, in 611. He sanctified himself by humility, continual prayer, watching, and fasting; was the spiritual father of six hundred monks, and of many holy bishops and saints, and died in 625. He is named in the Martyrologies of Ado [Addo], and in the Roman.
(From Fr Butler's Lives of the Saints)
PRAYER:
May the intercession of the blessed abbot Eustasius commend us to you, so that through his merits we may obtain that which we cannot accomplish by our own. 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.
