ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 7th of December
SAINT SERVUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Servus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Tuburbum, in Africa, during the persecution of the Vandals, under the Arian king Hunneric, Saint Servus, martyr, who, being for a very long time beaten with rods, lifted up on high with pulleys and suddenly dropped on flint-stones with his whole weight, and rubbed over with sharp stones, obtained the palm of martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Servus 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.
