ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 16th of November
SAINT EUCHERIUS, BISHOP OF LYON
Today, we also commemorate Saint Eucherius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Lyon, the birthday of Saint Eucherius, bishop and confessor, a man of extraordinary faith and learning. He renounced the senatorial dignity to embrace the religious life, and for a long time voluntarily shut himself up in a cavern, where he served Christ in prayer and fasting. Afterwards, through the revelation of an angel, he was solemnly installed in the episcopal chair of the city of Lyon."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Eucherius 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.
