ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 15th of September
SAINT PORPHYRIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Porphyrius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"Also, Saint Porphyrius, a comedian, who, in the presence of Julian the Apostate, being baptised in jest, and suddenly converted by the power of God, declared himself a Christian. Forthwith, by order of the emperor, he was struck with an axe, and thus crowned with martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Porphyrius 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.
