ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 26th of September
Prayer to the Angels and the Saints
Heavenly Father, in praising Your Angels and Saints we praise Your glory, for by honouring them we honour You, their Creator. Their splendour shows us Your greatness, which infinitely surpasses that of all creation.
In Your loving providence, You saw fit to send Your Angels to watch over us. Grant that we may always be under their protection and one day enjoy their company in heaven.
Heavenly Father, You are glorified in Your Saints, for their glory is the crowning of Your gifts. You provide an example for us by their lives on earth, You give us their friendship by our communion with them, You grant us strength and protection through their prayer for the Church, and You spur us on to victory over evil and the prize of eternal glory by this great company of witnesses.
Grant that we who aspire to take part in their joy may be filled with the Spirit that blessed their lives, so that, after sharing their faith on earth, we may also experience their peace in heaven. Amen.
BL. AYMO, MONK
Blessed Aymo (April 30, or September 26) was a Cistercian monk of the Savigny monastery in France.
Born in the village of Londacot in Brittany, he entered the monastic state in the aforementioned monastery. Here St Aymo began to excel in holiness to such an extent that it was said of him that he "seemed to be more of an angel than a man."
He died in 1173, and is counted among the "blessed" by our source. With the Bollandists he is mentioned among the Prætermissi.
