ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 24th of April
SAINT ALEXANDER, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Alexander. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Lyon, in France, during the persecution of Verus, the birthday of Saint Alexander, martyr. After being imprisoned, he was so lacerated by the cruelty of those who scourged him, that his ribs and the interior of his body were exposed to view. Then he was fastened to the gibbet of the cross, on which he yielded up his blessed soul. Thirty-four others who suffered with him are commemorated on other days."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of your holy martyr Alexander, 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.
