Friends of the Rosary,
Today, September 26, we honor Saints Cosmas and Damian (d. 303), who suffered martyrdom in Syria during the Roman persecution of Diocletian.
Born in Arabia, they were twin brothers and medical doctors who never charged a fee for their medical services. They lived on the Bay of Alexandretta in Cilicia, now in Turkey.
Along with St. Luke, they are the patron saints of doctors, renowned for their miraculous healing powers.
The Emperor Justinian was cured by their intercession and paid special honor to the city of Cyrrhus, where their relics were enshrined. Their basilica in Rome, adorned with lovely mosaics, was dedicated in the year 530.
They are named in the Roman Martyrology and in the Canon of the Mass, testifying to the antiquity of their feast day.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
