ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 3rd of September
SAINT BASILISSA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Basilissa. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Nicomedia, the martyrdom of Saint Basilissa, virgin and martyr, in the persecution of Diocletian, under the governor Alexander. At the age of nine years, after having, through the power of God, overcome scourging, fire, and the beasts, she gave up her soul to her Creator in prayer."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Basilissa 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.
