ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 24th of September
MARTYRS OF CHALCEDON
Today, we also commemorate The Martyrs of Chalcedon. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Chalcedon, forty-nine holy martyrs, who, after the martyrdom of Saint Euphemia, under the emperor Diocletian, were condemned to be devoured by the beasts, but being miraculously delivered, were finally struck with the sword, and went to heaven."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of The Martyrs of Chalcedon 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.
