Feria

Today is a Feria with a Commemoration of Ss Chrysanthus & Daria, Mm.

From the Roman Martyrology:

At Rome, the holy martyrs Chrysanthus and his wife Daria. After many sufferings endured for Christ under the prefect Celerinus, they were ordered by Emperor Numerian to be thrown into a sandpit on the Salarian Way, where, being still alive, were covered with earth and stones.

The Commemoration:

V. Let the Saints be joyful with glory.
R. Let them rejoice in their beds.

Ant. on Bened: Even the very hairs of your head * are all numbered; fear not therefore ; ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Let us Pray.

Let us pray.
We beseech thee, O Lord, that we may in such wise be assisted by the prayers of thy blessed Martyrs Chrysanthus and Daria : that, like as we do here render them our outward honour ; so we may ever feel the succour of their loving-kindness. Through.
