ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 11th of April
SAINT PHILIP, BISHOP
Today, we also commemorate Saint Philip, Bishop. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Gortina, in Crete, in the time of Marcus Antoninus Verus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, Saint Philip, a bishop most renowned for merit and doctrine, who defended the church entrusted to his care against the fury of the Gentiles, and the wiles of the heretics."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Philip, 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.
