Perpetua and Felitas martyrs

 

Today nom the church calendar we remember and recall Perpetua and Feltas martyrs

O God the King of saints, who strengthened your servants Perpetua and Felicitas and their companions to make a good confession, staunchly resisting, for the cause of Christ, the claims of human affection, and encouraging one another in their time of trial. Grant that we who cherish their blessed memory may share their pure and steadfast faith and win with them the palm of victory through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
