ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 31st of October
SAINTS AMPLIATUS, URBAN, AND NARCISSUS, MARTYRS
These Saints are the disciples of Saint Paul mentioned by him in his Epistle to the Romans (16:8, 9, 11). Some ancient authors place them among the seventy-two disciples chosen as preachers of the Gospel by Our Lord (Luke 10:19).
Tradition has it that they subsequently attached themselves to the Apostle Saint Andrew, and ultimately were put to death at the instigation of the Jews. They are also reported to have been Bishops in Greece and the Balkan countries. The Greek Church claimed to possess their relics at Constantinople.
(From The Book of Saints, 1921, by the Monks of Ramsgate)
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Ampliatus, Urban. and Narcissus may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. 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.
