ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 21st August
SAINT CYRIACA, WIDOW AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Cyriaca. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, in the Veran field, Saint Cyriaca, widow and martyr. In the persecution of Valerian, after devoting herself and all her goods in the service of the saints, she gave up her life by suffering martyrdom for Christ."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Cyriaca 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.
