| Santi Cleto e Marcellino, orate pro nobis |
Gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, placátus inténde: et per beátos Cletum et Marcellinum Mártyres tuos atque Summos Pontifices perpétua protectióne custódi; quos totíus Ecclésiæ præstitísti esse pastóres. Per Dóminum.
April 26th is the Feast of St. Cletus (Anacletus), Third Bishop of Rome, after Peter and Linus from 79-90; and Pope St. Marcellinus, who was elected on June 30, 296 and martyred in 304 during the persecution of Diocletian.
In celebration, we’re posting a prayer to Saints Cletus and Marcellinus in Latin and English. The accompanying photo comes courtesy of Father Eugene Carrella. The polychrome wood sculpture of San Cleto is part of Father Carrella’s impressive collection of religious statuary and relics. Evviva Santi Cleto e Marcellino, Papi e Martiri!
Prayer to Saints Cletus and Marcellinus
O Eternal Shepherd, do Thou look favorably upon Thy flock, which we beseech Thee to guard and keep for evermore through the blessed Cletus and Marcellinus Thy Martyrs and Supreme Pontiffs, whom Thou didst choose to be the chief shepherds of the whole Church. Through our Lord.
