ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 7th of April
SAINT CALLIOPIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Calliopius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Cilicia, under the prefect Maximian, Saint Calliopius, martyr. After undergoing other torments, he was fastened to a cross with his head downward, and gained the noble crown of martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of your holy martyr Calliopius, 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.
