ST PETER, MARTYR - 12 MARCH

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH Saints celebrated on the 12th of March WELCOME! SAINT PETER, MARTYR  Today, we also commemorate Saint Peter, martyr. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Nicomedia, the passion of the blessed martyr Peter, chamberlain of the emperor Diocletian. For complaining openly of the atrocious torments inflicted on the martyrs, he was, by order of the emperor, first suspended and a long time scourged, then, salt and vinegar being rubbed into his wounds, he was burned on a grate over a slow fire. Thus did he become truly the heir of Saint Peter’s name and faith." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who know how courageously your holy martyr Peter confessed the faith, may experience his goodness as he intercedes for us with you. 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. ➡️ More information about Saint Peter, Martyr -∆-
