Church of SS. Cosmas and Damian St. Sebastian Martyr
|
| History: Saint Sebastian died a
martyr at Rome in the beginning of the Diocletian persecution. From
antiquity the faithful have venerated his tomb on the Appian Way ad
Catacumbas. His feast is celebrated on
January 20th. Prayer: Lord, fill us with that spirit of courage which gave your martyr Sebastian strength to offer his life in faithful witness. Help us to learn from him to cherish your law and to obey you rather than men. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. The Liturgy of the Hours According to the Roman Rite, Catholic Book Publishing Co., New York, (C) 1975, Volume III, pp. 1308, 1310. |
