ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 15th of April
SAINTS MAXINIUS AND OLYMPIADES, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Maxinius [Maximus] and Olympiades. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Persia, in the reign of the emperor Decius, the holy martyrs Maxinius and Olympiades, who were beaten with rods and whips, and struck on their heads with clubs until they breathed their last."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of your holy martyrs Maxinius and Olympiades, 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.
