ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 20th of April
SAINT SULPICIUS AND SERVILIAN, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Sulpicius and Servilian. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, the holy martyrs Sulpicius and Servilian, who were converted to the faith of Christ by the discourses and the miracles of the holy virgin Domitilla. Having refused to sacrifice to the idols, they were beheaded by Anian, prefect of the city, in the persecution of Trajan."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of your holy martyrs Sulpicius and Servilian, 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.
