Saints celebrated on the 12th of July
SAINT HERMAGORAS, BISHOP AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Hermagoras. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Aquileia, the birthday of Saint Hermagoras, disciple of the blessed evangelist Mark, and first bishop of that city. Whilst occupied in performing miraculous cures, in preaching frequently and bringing souls to repentance, he suffered many kinds of torments, and finally by capital punishment, merited an immortal triumph with his deacon Fortunatus."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Hermagoras 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.
