ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 26th of April
SAINT BASILEUS, BISHOP AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Basileus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Amasea, in Pontus, Saint Basileus, bishop and martyr, whose illustrious martyrdom occurred under the emperor Licinius. His body was thrown into the sea, but being found by Elpidiphorus, through the revelation of an angel, it was honourably entombed."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Basileus, 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.
