ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 12th of September
SAINT JUVENTIUS, BISHOP OF PAVIA
Today, we also commemorate Saint Juventius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Pavia, Saint Juventius, bishop, mentioned on the 8th of February. He was sent to that city with Saint Cyrus by blessed Hermagoras, disciple of the evangelist Saint Mark. They both preached the Gospel of Christ there, and being renowned for great virtues and miracles, illustrated the neighboring cities by divine works. They closed their glorious career in peace, invested with the episcopal dignity."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Juventius 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.
