ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 13th of September
SAINT PHILIP, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Philip. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Alexandria, the birthday of blessed Philip, father of the virgin Saint Eugenia. Resigning the dignity of prefect of Egypt, he obtained the grace of baptism. His successor, the prefect Terentius, caused him to be pierced through the throat with a sword, whilst he was praying."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Philip 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.
