ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 13th of November
WELCOME!
SAINT ARCADIUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Arcadius and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Africa, the holy martyrs Arcadius, Paschasius, Probus and Eutychian, Spaniards, who refused absolutely to yield to the Arian perfidy, during the persecution of the Vandals. Accordingly they were proscribed by the Arian king Genseric, driven into exile, and finally, after being subjected to fearful tortures, were put to death in various manners. Then was also made manifest the constancy of the small boy Paulillus, brother of the Saints Paschasius and Eutychian. As he could not be seduced from the Catholic faith, he was a long time beaten with rods, and condemned to a base servitude."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Arcadius, Paschasius, Probus and Eutychian 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.
