ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 25th of August
SAINT GENESIUS, MARTYR OF ARLES
Today, we also commemorate Saint Genesius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Arles, in France, another blessed Genesius, who, filling the office of notary, and refusing to record the impious edicts by which Christians were commanded to be punished, threw away his tablets publicly, and declared himself a Christian. He was seized and beheaded, and thus attained to the glory of martyrdom through baptism in his blood."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Genesius 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.
