Sts. Sixtus II and Companions
Pope and deacons, martyrs
Make us docile in believing the faith and courageous in confessing it.
Feast
Ss. Sixtus II, pope and martyr, and Companions martyrs
By the power of the Holy Spirit,
we pray, Almighty God,
make us docile in believing the faith
and courageous in confessing it,
just as you granted Saint Sixtus and his companions that they might lay down their lives
for the sake of your word and in witness to Jesus.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
