SAINT CRESCENS, BISHOP AND MARTYR

Today, we also commemorate Saint Crescens. The Roman Martyrology states: 

"In Galatia, Saint Crescens, disciple of the blessed apostle Paul. In passing through Gaul, he converted many to the Christian faith by his preaching. Returning to the people for whom especially he had been made bishop, he maintained, to the end of his life, the Galatians in the service of the Lord, and finally consummated his martyrdom under Trajan."

PRAYER:

Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Crescens 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.
