ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER Saints celebrated on the 18th of December WELCOME! SAINT AUXENTIUS, BISHOP Today, we also commemorate Saint Auxentius, bishop. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Mopsuestia, in Cilicia, Saint Auxentius, bishop, who, while he was a soldier under Licinius, preferred to surrender his military insignia rather than to offer grapes to Bacchus. Having been made bishop, he was renowned for merit, and rested in peace." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Auxentius, your blessed bishop, 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. -∆-
