Saints celebrated on the 18th of July
SAINT GUNDENES, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Gundenes. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Carthage, Saint Gundenes, virgin. By order of the proconsul Rufinus, she was four different times stretched on the rack for the faith of Christ, horribly lacerated with iron hooks, confined for a long time in a filthy dungeon, and finally put to the sword."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Gundenes 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.
