ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 21st of April
SAINT MALRUBIUS, MARTYR
Saint Malrubius led an austere monastic life in the mountainous country of Abur-Crossain, in the county of Ross in Ireland, when certain Norway pirates landing there in 721, for attempting to preach Christ to them, he was massacred by them with many wounds, in the eightieth year of his age, probably on April 21, his festival in Connaught.
(From Fr Butler's Lives of the Saints)
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who know how courageously your holy martyr Malrubius confessed the faith, may experience his goodness as he intercedes for us with you. 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.
