Commemoration


Of St Tiburtius, Martyr
St. Susanna, Virgin, Martyr.

The Roman deacon Tiburtius, son of the prefect of Rome, was beheaded after suffering many cruel torments A.D. 286.
Susanna, a holy virgin of high lineage, refused to marry the son of Diocletian, and was beheaded after grevious torments A.D. 295.

Collect:

May we enjoy the continual succour of Thy holy Martyrs Tiburtious and Susanna, O Lord; for Thou never ceasest to regard with mercy those to whom Thou dost vouchsafe such powerful help. Through our Lord...


'Brethren, the saints through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire...'
