Saints celebrated on the 21st of May
SAINT SECUNDUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Secundus and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Alexandria, the commemoration of the holy martyrs Secundus, a priest, and others, whom the Arian bishop George caused to be barbarously killed during the holy days of Pentecost, under the emperor Constantius.
"Also, the saintly bishops and priests, who, being banished by the Arians, merited to be associated with holy confessors."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Secundus and Companions 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.
