ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 28th of April
SAINT VALERIA, MARTYR
Saint Valeria, a first century martyr, was the wife of Saint Vitalis and mother of Saints Gervase and Protase. They were among the first converts to Christianity in the city of Milan. They were taken to Ravenna, where Valeria, after her husband and children had laid down their lives for Christ, worn out by suffering, died in prison.
(From The Book of Saints, 1921, by the Monks of Ramsgate)
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Valeria 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.
