ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 7th of September
SAINT EUPSYCHIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Eupsychius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Caesarea, in Cappadocia, in the time of the emperor Adrian, Saint Eupsychius, martyr, who, on being accused of professing Christianity, was cast into prison. His release following shortly after, he immediately sold his patrimony, and distributed the proceeds of it partly to the poor and partly to his accusers, whom he regarded as his benefactors. But being again arrested, under the judge Sapritius, he was lacerated, pierced through with a sword, and thus consummated his martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Eupsychius 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.
