ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 8th of October
SAINT DEMETRIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Demetrius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Thessalonica, Saint Demetrius, a proconsul, who, for having brought many to the faith of Christ, was pierced with spears by order of the emperor Maximian, and thus ended his martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Demetrius 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.
