ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 26th of November
SAINT PETER, BISHOP OF ALEXANDRIA, MARTYR, AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Peter and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Alexandria, the birthday of Saint Peter, bishop of that city, adorned with all virtues, who was beheaded by the command of Galerius Maximian. There suffered also at Alexandria, in the same persecution, the holy martyrs Faustus, priest, Didius and Ammonius ; likewise, Phileas, Hesychius, Pachomius and Theodore, Egyptian bishops, with six hundred and sixty others, whom the sword of persecution sent to heaven."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Peter, Didius, Ammonius, Phileas, Hesychius, Pachomius, Theodore, and Companions 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.
