Morning Prayer - FRIDAY, 02 June 2023

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - June 2, 2023 | Memorial of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs

Pope St Damasus I dedicated his life to establishing and strengthening the Church after the great persecutions, and took much care over the restoration of the Roman catacombs and the proper burial of the martyrs there, including Marcellinus and Peter.

As a boy, Pope Damasus had heard the story of these martyrs from their executioner. Marcellinus was a priest, Peter was an exorcist. They were beheaded during the emperor Diocletian’s persecution, and buried on the Via Labicana outside Rome. After the persecutions, a basilica was built over the site of their tomb.
