SUMMARY:Saint Sixtus II\, Pope\, and Companions\, Martyrs
DESCRIPTION:Sixtus II became bishop of Rome in 257 during the persecution of Christians under Emperor Valerian. In 258\, imperial policy ordered bishops\, priests\, and deacons to be executed and Christian assemblies to be suppressed. Sixtus was arrested while celebrating liturgy in the catacombs of Saint Callistus in Rome. \nHe was martyred on August 6\, 258\, along with several deacons; Saint Lawrence\, another deacon of Rome\, was killed a few days later. The witness of Sixtus and his companions reveals the vulnerability and courage of the early Church under imperial pressure. Their feast honors shepherds who remained with their people even when leadership meant death. \nPrayer: Saint Sixtus II and companions\, pray for the Church’s leaders and for all Christians facing persecution. Amen.
