ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 20th of August
SAINTS LEOVIGILDUS AND CHRISTOPHER, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Leovigildus and Christopher. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Cordova [Cordoba], during the persecution of the Arabs, the holy martyrs Leovigildus and Christopher, monks, who were thrust into prison for the defence of the Christian faith, and soon after, by being beheaded and cast into the fire, obtained the palm of martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Leovigildus and Christopher 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.
