ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 18th of August SAINT HERMAS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS Today, we also commemorate Saint Hermas and Companions . The Roman Martyrology states: "In the same city [Rome], the holy martyrs Hermas, Serapion, and Polyaenus. Being dragged through narrow, stony, and craggy places, they yielded up their souls to God." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Hermas, Serapion, and Polyaenus 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.
