Saints celebrated on the 18th of May
SAINT DIOSCORUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Dioscorus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Egypt, Saint Dioscorus, a lector, who was subjected by the governor to many various torments, such as the tearing off of his nails and the burning of his sides with torches; but a light from heaven having prostrated the executioners, the saint finally consummated his martyrdom by having red-hot metal applied to his body."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Dioscorus 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.
