Saints celebrated on the 30th of May
SAINTS BASIL AND EMMELIA
Today, we also commemorate Saints Basil and Emmelia. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Caesarea, in Cappadocia, the Saints Basil and his wife Emmelia, parents of Saint Basil the Great, who lived in exile in the fastnesses of Pontus during the reign of Galerius Maximian, and after the persecution rested in peace, leaving their children the heirs of their virtues."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Basil and Emmelia 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.
