ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 20th of October
SAINT CAPRASIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Caprasius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Agen, in France, Saint Caprasius, martyr. As he was hiding himself in a cavern to avoid the violence of the persecution, the report of the blessed virgin Faith's courage in suffering for Christ animated him to endure torments, and he prayed to God that, if he were deemed worthy of the glory of martyrdom, clear water might flow from the rock of his cavern. God having granted his prayer, he went with confidence to the scene of combat, and after a valiant struggle, merited the palm of martyrdom under Maximian."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Caprasius 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.
