Prayer
Prayer to St. Genesius
Dear Genesius,
according to a very ancient
story, when you were still a
pagan, you once ridiculed Christ
while acting on the stage.
But, like Saul on the road to
Damascus, you were floored
by Christ’s powerful grace.
You rose bearing witness to
Jesus and died a great
martyr's death.
Intercede for your fellow actors
before God that they may
faithfully and honestly perform
their roles and so help others to
understand their role in life and
thus enabling them to attain
their end in heaven.
Amen.
