ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 19th of August
SAINT ANDREW AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Andrew and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Cilicia, the birthday of Saint Andrew, tribune, and his military companions, who were converted to Christianity through a miraculous victory they had gained over the Persians. Being accused on this account, they were massacred in the defiles of Mount Taurus by the army of the governor Seleucus, under the emperor Maximian."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Andrew 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.
