ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 6th of December
SAINT MAJORICUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Majoricus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In the same country [Africa], Saint Majoricus, son of Saint Dionysia, who, being quite young and dreading the torments, was strengthened by the looks and words of his mother, and becoming stronger than the rest, expired in torments. His mother took him in her arms, and having buried him in her own house, was wont to pray assiduously at his sepulchre."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Majoricus 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.
