Saints celebrated on the 24th of June
SAINT ORENTIUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Orentius and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Satalis, in Armenia, seven saintly brothers, martyrs: Orentius, Heros, Pharnacius, Firminus, Firmus, Cyriacus, and Longinus, who owe their martyrdom to the emperor Maximian. Because they were Christians, they were deprived of the military cincture by his command, separated from one another, hurried away to various places, and in the midst of painful trials, found their repose in the Lord."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Orentius, Heros, Pharnacius, Firminus, Firmus, Cyriacus, and Longinus 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.
