ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 25th of November
SAINT MERCURIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Mercurius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Caesarea, in Cappadocia, Saint Mercurius, soldier, who vanquished the barbarians and triumphed over the cruelty of Decius through the protection of his guardian angel. Finally, having acquired great glory from his sufferings, he was crowned with martyrdom and went to reign forever in heaven."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Mercurius 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.
