Saints celebrated on the 5th of July
SAINT CYRILLA, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Cyrilla. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Cyrene, Saint Cyrilla, a martyr, in the persecution of Diocletian. For a long while she held on her hand burning coals with incense, lest by shaking off the coals she should seem to offer incense to the idols. She was afterwards cruelly scourged, and went to her spouse adorned with her own blood."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Cyrilla 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.
