Saints celebrated on the 15th of July
SAINT ATHANASIUS, BISHOP OF NAPLES
Today, we also commemorate Saint Athanasius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Naples, in Campania, Saint Athanasius, bishop of that city, who suffered much from his wicked nephew Sergius, by whom he was driven from his see. Consumed with afflictions, he departed for heaven at Veroli, in the time of Charles the Bald."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Athanasius 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.
