ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 22nd of August
SAINT ATHANASIUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Athanasius and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Tarsus, the Saints Athanasius, bishop and martyr, Anthusa, a noble woman whom he had baptised, and two of her slaves, who suffered under Valerian."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Athanasius, Anthusa, 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.
