Prayer To Saint Vitus

Dear Vitus, the one thing we are certain about
is that you died a martyr's death.
In early times,
churches were dedicated to you in important places.
In the Middle Ages,
your intercession obtained cures from epilepsy
so that this disease came to be called "Saint Vitus' Dance".
Inspire comedians to make people dance with laughter
and so bear goodwill toward one another.

Amen.
