Saints celebrated on the 19th of May
SAINT CYRIACA AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Cyriaca and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In the same city [Nicomedia] six holy virgins and martyrs. The principal one, named Cyriaca, having freely reproved Maximian for his impiety, was most severely scourged and lacerated, and then consumed with fire."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Cyriaca and Companions 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.
