Saints celebrated on the 6th of June
SAINT ARTEMIUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Artemius and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, Saint Artemius, with his wife Candida and his daughter Paulina. Artemius became a believer through the preaching and miracles of Saint Peter the Exorcist, who was baptised with all his house by the priest Saint Marcellinus. By order of the judge Serenus, he was scourged with whips strung with leaden balls, and struck with the sword. His wife and daughter were forced into a pit and overwhelmed with stones and earth."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Artemius, Candida and Paulina 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.
