ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 1st of September
SAINT XYSTUS, BISHOP OF REIMS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Xystus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Reims, in France, Saint Xystus [Sixtus], disciple of the blessed apostle Peter, who was consecrated by him the first bishop of that city, and received the crown of martyrdom under Nero."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Xystus 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.
