Feria

Today is a Feria with a Commemoration of St Evaristus, P&M.

From the Roman Martyrology:

At Rome, St. Evaristus, pope and martyr, who enriched the Church of God with his blood under Emperor Hadrian.

The Commemoration:

V. The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree.
R. And shall spread abroad like a cedar in Líbanus.

Ant. on Bened: He that hateth his life * in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Let us pray.

O eternal Shepherd, do thou look favorably upon thy flock, which we beseech thee to guard and keep for evermore through the Blessed Evaristus thy Martyr and Supreme Pontiff, whom thou didst choose to be the chief shepherd of the whole Church. Through.
