Saints celebrated on the 6th of August
SAINTS FELICISSIMUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Felicissimus and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"Also, the holy martyrs Felicissimus and Agapitus, deacons of blessed Xystus [Pope Sixtus II]; Januarius, Magnus, Vincent, and Stephen, subdeacons, all of whom were beheaded with him, and buried in the cemetery of Praetextatus. With them suffered also blessed Quartus, as is related by Saint Cyprian."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Felicissimus, Agapitus, Januarius, Magnus, Vincent, and Stephen 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.
