I. LUCIUS of Cyrene, mentioned in the Acts xiii. 1.Acts, was one of the Prophets of the Christian Church at Antioch. While he was imployed in his Ministry with the other Prophets, the Holy Ghost said to them; Separate me Paul and Barnabas for the Work whereunto I have called them; and after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their Hands upon them and let them go. Some believe Lucius to have been one of our Lord’s Seventy Disciples. Usuard and Ado assert, that the Apostles ordained him first Apostle of Cyrene. The Latin Church honours him on the sixth Day of May.
