ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 17th of April
SAINT MAPPALICUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Mappalicus and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Africa, the birthday of blessed Mappalicus, and many others who were crowned with martyrdom, as is related by Saint Cyprian in his epistle to the Martyrs and Confessors."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of your holy martyrs Mappalicus 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.
