ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 24th of September SAINT ANDOCHIUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS Today, we also commemorate Saint Andochius and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Autun, the birthday of the holy martyrs, Andochius, priest, Thyrsus, deacon, and Felix, who were sent from the East by blessed Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna, to preach in Gaul, where they were most severely scourged, hanged up a whole day by the hands, and cast into the fire. Remaining uninjured, they had their necks broken with heavy bars, and thus won a most glorious crown." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Andochius, Thyrsus, and Felix 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.
