Saints celebrated on the 4th of May
SAINT SYLVANUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Sylvanus and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At the metal mines of Phennes, in Palestine, the birthday of the blessed Silvanus, bishop of Gaza, who was crowned with martyrdom with many of his clerics by the command of Caesar Galerius Maximian, in the persecution of Diocletian"
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Sylvanus and Companions may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. 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.
