If you wish to be saved, seek no other thing here in this world as much as love. Humility and love are the two wings with which we will fly to Paradise - Saint Cosmas
Saints Cosmas and Damian, you were touched by Christ and sought to share your faith in Him through your selfless and free service to all who needed your medical care. When persecuted, you remained strong in your faith, preferring death over sin. Please pray for us, that we will follow your example of selfless service to others and will have the courage to be witnesses to Christ no matter the cost. Amen!
St. Gregory of Tours spoke about the twin brothers in this way: “These two physicians cured as many people by their prayers as they did by their medical knowledge, and now in heaven they still care for the sick miraculously.”
