Saints celebrated on the 1st of June
SAINT PAMPHILIUS, PRIEST AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Pamphilius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Caesarea, in Palestine, blessed Pamphilus, priest and martyr, a man of remarkable sanctity and learning, and great charity to the poor. In the persecution of Galerius Maximian, he was tortured for the faith of Christ, under the governor Urbanus, and thrown into prison; then, being again subjected to torments under Firmilian, he consummated his martyrdom with others. With them suffered also Valens, deacon, and Paul, and nine others, whose commemoration occurs on other days."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Pamphilius 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.
