ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 23rd of October
SAINTS SERVANDUS AND GERMANUS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Servandus and Germanus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In the territory of Ossuma, in Spain, near Cadiz, the holy martyrs Servandus and Germanus, in the persecution of Diocletian, under the lieutenant Viator. After being subjected to scourging, imprisonment in a foul dungeon, want of food and drink, and the fatigue of a very long journey, which they had to perform loaded with fetters, they at length reached the term of their martyrdom by having their heads struck off. Germanus was buried at Merida, and Servandus at Seville."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Servandus and Germanus 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.
