ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JULY Saints celebrated on the 9th of July SAINT CYRIL, BISHOP AND MARTYR Today, we also commemorate Saint Cyril. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Gortyna, in Crete, in the persecution of Decius, under the governor Lucius, Saint Cyril, a bishop, who was thrown into the flames without being injured, though his bonds were burnt. The judge, struck with awe at so great a miracle, set him at liberty, but as the saint began again immediately to preach the faith of Christ with zeal, he was beheaded." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Cyril 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.
