July 13th anno Domini 2018 The 30th Day of the Moon were born into the better life:
At Rome, the holy martyr Pope Anaclete, who governed the Church of God after holy Clement, and adorned the same with a glorious testimony, [in the year 91 or 96.]
On the same day, the holy Prophets Joel and Ezra, [two of the twelve minor Prophets, in the seventh and fifth centuries, B.C.]
In Macedonia, blessed Silas, who was one of the first of the Brethren, and was sent by the Apostles to the churches of the Gentiles along with Paul and Barnabas. He was full of the grace of God, earnestly discharged his duty of preaching, and when he had glorified Christ in his sufferings, afterwards fell asleep. Also the holy martyr Serapion, who under the Emperor Severus and the President Aquila attained through fire unto the crown of martyrdom.
In the island of Chios, the holy martyr Myropis, who under the Emperor Decius and the President Numerian was broken with bars, and so passed away to be with the Lord.
In Africa, the holy Confessors Eugenius, Bishop of Carthage, glorious for faith and good works, and all the Clergy of that church, to the number of five hundred or more, [in the year 505,] in the persecution of the Vandals, under the Arian King Hunneric, suffered stripes and hunger among whom were very many Readers that were little children and were driven into cruel exile but rejoicing in the Lord. Among the noblest of them were the Archdeacon named Salutaris, and Murrita the second in the ministry, who became Confessors for the third time, and are illustrious for their glorious steadfastness unto Christ.
In Brittany, the holy Confessor Turiaf, Bishop [of the ancient see of Dol,] a man of marvellous simplicity and innocency, [in the year 749.]
V. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
