Saints celebrated on the 13th of June
SAINT FELICULA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Felicula. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, on the Ardeatine road, the birthday of Saint Felicula, virgin and martyr, who was delivered to the judge for refusing to marry Flaccus and to sacrifice to idols. As she persevered in the confession of Christ, he confined her in a dark dungeon without food, and afterwards caused her to be racked until she expired. She was then cast into a sewer, but Saint Nicomedes buried her on the road just mentioned."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Felicula 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.
