ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 8th of November
SAINTS CLAUDIUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Claudius and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, on the Lavican road, three miles from the city, the martyrdom of the Saints Claudius, Niostratus, Symphorian, Castorius and Simplicius, who were first sent to prison, then scourged with whips set with metal, and as they could not be made to forsake the faith of Christ, Diocletian ordered them to be thrown into the river."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Claudius, Niostratus, Symphorian, Castorius and Simplicius 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.
