ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 30th of April
SAINTS MARIANUS AND JAMES, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Marianus and James. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Lambesa, in Numidia, the birthday of the holy martyrs Marianus, lector, and James, deacon. The former, after having successfully endured vexations for the confession of Christ, in the persecution of Decius, was again arrested with his illustrious companion, and both being subjected to severe and cruel torments, during which they were twice miraculously comforted from heaven, finally fell by the sword with many others."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Marianus and James 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.
