ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 13th of April
SAINT CARPUS, BISHOP, AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Carpus and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Pergamus, in Asia, the birthday of the holy martyrs Carpus, bishop of Thyatira, Papylus, deacon, and his sister Agathonica, an excellent woman, Agathadorus, their servant, and many others, who after various torments, were, for their blessed confession, crowned with martyrdom in the persecution of Marcus Antoninus Verus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of your holy martyrs Carpus, Papylus, Agathonica, Agathadorus, and Companions, 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.
