ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 28th of April
SAINT THEODORA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Theodora. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Alexandria, the martyrdom of the virgin Saint Theodora. For refusing to sacrifice to idols, she was led to a place of debauch; but, a Christian, named Didymus, through the admirable providence of God, delivered her by quickly exchanging garments with her. He was afterwards decapitated, and crowned with her in the persecution of Diocletian, under the governor Eustratius."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Theodora, 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.
