Saints celebrated on the 6th of July
SAINT TRANQUILLINUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Tranquillinus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, the birthday of Saint Tranquillinus, martyr, father of the Saints Mark and Marcellian, who were converted to Christ by the preaching of the martyr St. Sebastian. Baptised by the blessed priest Polycarp, he was ordained priest by pope Saint Caius. He was arrested while praying at the tomb of blessed Paul on the Octave of the Apostles, and stoned to death by the Pagans, and thus consummated his martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Tranquillinus 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.
