ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 13th of August
SAINT MAXIMUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Maximus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Constantinople, Saint Maximus, a monk, distinguished for learning and for zeal for Catholic truth. Combatting valiantly the Monothelites, he had his hands and tongue torn from him by the heretical emperor Constans, and was banished to Chersonesus, where he breathed his last. At this time, two of his disciples, both called Anastasius, and many others endured diverse torments and the hardships of exile."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Maximus 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.
