ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 22nd of August
SAINT HIPPOLYTUS, BISHOP AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Hippolytus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Porto, Saint Hippolytus, bishop, most renowned for learning. Having gloriously confessed the faith, in the time of the emperor Alexander, he was bound hand and foot, precipitated into a deep ditch filled with water, and thus received the palm of martyrdom. His body was buried by the Christians at that place."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Hippolytus 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.
