  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST   Saints celebrated on the 12th of August SAINTS GRACILIAN AND FELICISSIMA, MARTYRS Today, we also commemorate Saints Gracilian and Felicissima. The Roman Martyrology states:  "At Faleria, in Tuscany, the Saints Gracilian, and Felicissima, virgin, who, for the confession of the faith, had their mouths bruised with stones, and being afterwards struck with the sword, received the palm of martyrdom." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Gracilian and Felicissima 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.
