ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 13th of October
SEVEN MARTYRS OF CEUTA
Today, we also commemorate The Seven Martyrs of Ceuta. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Ceuta, in Morocco, seven martyrs of the Order of Friars Minor, Daniel, Samuel, Angelus, Domnus, Leo, Nicholas, and Hugolinus. For preaching the Gospel and refuting the errors of Mahomet, they were reviled, bound, and scourged by the Saracens, and finally won the palm of martyrdom by being beheaded."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Daniel, Samuel, Angelus, Domnus, Leo, Nicholas, and Hugolinus 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.
