ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 19th of October
SAINT VARUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Varus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Egypt, Saint Varus, soldier, under the emperor Maximinus. He used to visit and comfort seven saintly monks detained in prison, when one of them happening to die, he wished to take his place, and having suffered with them cruel afflictions, he obtained the palm of martyrdom."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Varus 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.
