ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 23rd of October
SAINT THEODORE, PRIEST AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Theodore. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Antioch, in Syria, the birthday of the holy priest Theodore, who was arrested in the persecution of the impious Julian. After being racked, after suffering many severe torments, and the burning of his sides with torches, as he persevered in the confession of Christ, he was put to the sword, and thus consummated his martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Theodore 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.
