ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 28th of November
SAINT SOSTHENES, CONFESSOR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Sosthenes. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Corinth, the birthday of Saint Sosthenes, disciple of the blessed apostle Paul, who is mentioned by that apostle in his epistle to the Corinthians. He was chief of the synagogue when converted to Christ, and, as a glorious beginning, consecrated the first fruits of his faith by being scourged in the presence of the proconsul Gallius."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Sosthenes 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.
