ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 29th of November
SAINTS SATURNINUS AND SISINUS, MARTYRS OF ROME
Today, we also commemorate Saints Saturninus and Sisinus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, on the Salarian road, the birthday of the holy martyr Saturninus, an aged man, and the deacon Sisinius, in the time of the emperor Maximian. After a long imprisonment, they were, by order of the prefect of the city, placed on the rack, distended with ropes, scourged with rods and whips garnished with metal, then exposed to the flames, taken down from the rack and beheaded."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Saturninus and Sisinus 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.
