About Saint Cosmas
Cosmas and his twin brother Damian are honored as early Christian physicians who treated the sick without demanding payment, earning the title moneyless ones. Tradition places their martyrdom in the persecution under Diocletian, though details vary. Their shared witness made them beloved patrons of physicians, pharmacists, surgeons, and all who join skill with mercy.
Prayer
Pray with Saint Cosmas
God the healer, through Saint Cosmas’s intercession, bless physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and everyone who cares for the sick. Keep greed from medicine, give researchers wisdom, and help us offer our skills freely for human dignity. Amen.
