Quote:
After this, they were brought before the judge and subjected to further torture. Then, the judge ordered the beheading of all three of them—Denis, Rusticus, and Eleutherius—while they were professing their faith in the Holy Trinity. This execution took place near the Temple of Mercury, and they were beheaded using three axes. Immediately after, the body of St. Denis stood up and carried his own head in his arms. Guided by an angel, he walked about two miles from the execution site, known as the Hill of the Martyrs, to the location where he now rests, which he chose through divine guidance. ~The Golden Legend
Prayer:
Saint Denis and companions, you courageously traveled to an unknown land, to an unknown people, to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You did so with prayer and trust in God’s divine guidance. God used you during your lives and continues to use you in your deaths. Please pray for me, that all that I am and all that I do will be done solely for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Saints Denis, Rusticus, and Eleutherius, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
