ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER Saints celebrated on the 5th of October SAINT CHARITINA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR Today, we also commemorate Saint Charitina. The Roman Martyrology states: "The same day, under the emperor Diocletian and the ex-consul Domitius, Saint Charitina, a virgin, who was exposed to the fire and thrown into the sea; but escaping uninjured, she had her hands and feet cut off, her teeth plucked out, and finally she yielded her spirit in prayer." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Charitina 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.
