Saints celebrated on the 20th of July

SAINT PAUL, DEACON AND MARTYR

Today, we also commemorate Saint Paul. The Roman Martyrology states: 

"At Cordova [Cordoba], Saint Paul, deacon and martyr. For rebuking Mahometan princes for their impiety and cruelty, and preaching Christ courageously, he was put to death, and went to his reward in heaven."

PRAYER:

Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Paul 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.
