Saints celebrated on the 13th of July
SAINT SILAS, CONFESSOR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Silas. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Macedonia, blessed Silas, one of the first Christians. By the Apostles he was destined for the churches of the Gentiles with Paul and Barnabas. Filled with the grace of God, he zealously discharged the office of preaching, and after glorifying Christ by his sufferings, rested in peace."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Silas 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.
