ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 17th of September
SAINT JUSTIN, PRIEST AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Justin. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, on the road to Tivoli, the birthday of Saint Justin, priest and martyr, who distinguished himself by a glorious confession of the faith, during the persecution of Valerian and Gallienus. He buried the bodies of the blessed pontiff, Xystus, of Lawrence, Hippolytus, and many other saints, and finally consummated his martyrdom under Claudius."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Justin 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.
