Saints celebrated on the 29th of June
SAINT CASSIUS, BISHOP OF NARNI
Today, we also commemorate Saint Cassius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Narni, Saint Cassius, bishop of that city, of whom Saint Gregory relates, that he permitted scarcely any day of his life to pass without offering the victim of propitiation to Almighty God; and he was well worthy to do it, for he distributed in alms all he possessed, and his devotion was such that abundant tears flowed from his eyes during the holy sacrifice. At last, he came to Rome on the birthday of the Apostles, as was his yearly custom, and after having solemnly celebrated Mass and given the Lord’s body and the kiss of peace to all, he departed for heaven."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Cassius 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.
