ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 7th of August
SAINT VICTRICIUS, BISHOP OF ROUEN
Today, we also commemorate Saint Victricius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rouen, the holy: bishop Saint Victricius. Whilst he was yet a soldier under Julian, he threw away his military belt for Christ, and after being subjected by the tribune to many torments, was condemned to capital punishment. But the executioner who had been sent to put him to death being struck blind, and the confessor's chains being loosened, he made his escape. Afterwards being made bishop, by preaching the word of God, he brought to the faith of Christ the barbarous people of Belgic Gaul, and finally died a confessor in peace."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Victricius 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.
