ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 13th of March
WELCOME!
SAINT RODERICK OF CORDOBA, PRIEST AND MARTYR
Saint Roderick is commemorated together with St Salomon. Both were 9th century Spanish Christians, who were put to death at Cordova [Cordoba] by the Moors during their occupation of Spain (A.D. 857). Roderick was a priest and Salomon a layman.
THEY SHARED THE SAME DUNGEON
They came to know one another as fellow-prisoners in the same dungeon. Of their trial, tortures and death we have some details from the pen of their contemporary, St Eulogius.
From The Book of Saints, 1921, by the Monks of Ramsgate
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of your your holy Martyrs Roderick and Salomon, not to think high-mindedly, but to grow in humility pleasing to you; that, despising what is base, she may with unbounded love diligently do whatever is right. 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.
