ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 25th of October
SAINT THEODOSIUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Theodosius and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"Also, at Rome, the birthday of forty-six holy soldiers, who were baptised together by pope Denis, and soon after beheaded by order of the emperor Claudius. They were buried on the Salarian way, with one hundred and twenty-one other martyrs. Among them are named four soldiers of Christ: Theodosius, Lucius, Mark and Peter."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Theodosius, Lucius, Mark, Peter, 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.
