ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 10th of April
SAINT MICHAEL OF THE SAINTS, CONFESSOR
The Roman Martyrology states on this day [April 10]:
"At Valladolid, in Spain, Saint Michael of the Saints, confessor, of the Order of Discalced Trinitarians for the Redemption of Captives, a man remarkable for integrity of life, for the penitential spirit, and for great love of God. Pius IX solemnly canonised him on Whitsunday, 1862, and ordered his festival to be kept on the 5th of July."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Michael of the Saints, 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.
