ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 8th of September
SAINT ADRIAN AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Adrian and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Nicomedia, Saint Adrian, with twenty-three other martyrs, who ended their martyrdom the 4th of March by having their limbs crushed, after enduring many torments under the emperors Diocletian and Maximian. Their remains were carried to Byzantium by the Christians, and buried with due honours. Afterwards the body of Saint Adrian was taken to Rome on this day, on which his festival is celebrated."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Adrian and Companions 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.
