Saints celebrated on the 3rd of June

SAINT LUCILLIAN AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS

Today, we also commemorate Saint Lucillian and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states: 

"At Constantinople, the holy martyrs Lucillian and four boys, Claudius, Hypatius, Paul, and Denis. Lucillian, formerly a pagan priest, but now a Christian, was cast into a furnace with them, after undergoing many torments; but the flames being extinguished by the rain, all escaped uninjured. Finally, under the governor Silvanus, they terminated their career; Lucillian, by crucifixion, the children, by decapitation."

PRAYER:

Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Lucillian, Claudius, Hypatius, Paul, and Denis 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.
