Saints celebrated on the 6th of July
SAINT DOMINICA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Dominica. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Campania, Saint Dominica, virgin and martyr, in the time of the emperor Diocletian. For having destroyed idols, she was condemned to the beasts, but being uninjured by them, she was beheaded and departed for heaven. Her body is kept with great veneration at Tropea, in Calabria."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Dominica 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.
