Saints celebrated on the 5th of July
SAINT ATHANASIUS, DEACON AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Athanasius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Jerusalem, Saint Athanasius, a deacon, who was apprehended by the heretics for defending the Council of Chalcedon, and after experiencing all kinds of torments, was put to the sword."
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.
