ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 20th of August
SAINT LUCIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Lucius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"The same day, Saint Lucius, senator, who was converted to the faith, on seeing the constancy of Theodore, bishop of Cyrene, during his martyrdom. He also converted the governor Dignian, with whom he set out for Cyprus, where, seeing other Christians crowned for the confession of the Lord, he offered himself voluntarily, and merited the same crown of martyrdom by having his head struck off."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Lucius 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.
