June 10 – Saint Getulius

Blessed Redeemer, Saint Getulius (d. 120) was a convert who resigned his commission as a Roman officer and fled to another country.  When the emperor sent an official to arrest him and bring him back, the saint and his brother converted the soldier.  I ask him to pray for those who try to change my mind about the Faith, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and others who proselytize the false teachings of other religions.  When they come knocking on my door, help me to find the words and compassion that will inspire them to accept the truth of Your salvation.  Give them angels who will continue the process.  Saint Getulius, pray us.  Amen.
