ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 2nd of August
SAINT RUTILIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Rutilius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Africa, Saint Rutilius, martyr. He had frequently secured safety from the perils of persecution by flight, and sometimes even by means of money, but at last, being unexpectedly apprehended, he was led to the governor, and subjected to many tortures. Afterwards he was cast into the fire, and thus merited the glorious crown of martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Rutilius 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.
