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 thus enabling them to attain their end in heaven. Amen.
