ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 11th of April
SAINT ANTIPAS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Antipas. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Pergamus, in Asia, Saint Antipas, a faithful witness, of whom Saint John speaks in the Apocalypse. Under the emperor Domitian, he was shut up in a red-hot brazen ox, and thus consummated his martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Antipas, 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.
