February 3: Saint Blaise, Bishop and Martyr—Optional Memorial
Died c. 316
Patron Saint of illnesses of the throat and other illnesses, wool workers, animals, bricklayers, bakers, farm workers
Pre-Congregation canonization
Liturgical Color: Red
Quote:
Through the intercession of Saint Blase, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. ~Blessing of throats
Prayer:
Saint Blaise, you accepted the will of God as it was expressed through the acclamation of the people to become their shepherd. You lovingly spread the faith, healed the sick, and laid down your life as a martyr. Please pray for me and my family that we may be kept safe from all illness, especially illnesses of the throat, and pray that I will have the same courage you had to be a witness to Christ, even to the point of death. Saint Blaise, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
