18 September, The Roman Martyrology

Quartodécimo Kaléndas Octóbris Luna octava Anno 2018 Domini

September 18th anno Domini 2018 The 8th Day of the Moon were born into the better life: 

At Osimo, the holy Confessor Joseph of Cupertino, of the Order of Friars Minor Conventuals, whose name Pope Clement XIII enrolled among those of the saints. 
Upon the same day, holy Methodius, Bishop first of Olympus in Lycia, and afterward of Tyre, very famous for his clear words and teaching, who, as is written by holy Jerome, was crowned with martyrdom at Chalcis, in Greece, at the end of the last persecution. 
In the country of Vienne, the holy martyr Ferreolus, of Tribunitial rank. (During the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian,) he was tried by command of the wicked President Crispin, and first most cruelly beaten, then heavily loaded with chains and cast into a foul prison. God loosed his chains, and the gates of the prison opened, and he went forth, but he was followed and again taken, and received the crown of martyrdom by being beheaded. 
Also the holy martyrs Sophia and Irene. 
At Milan, (in the fourth century,) holy Eustorgius I., Bishop of that city, famous through the witness of blessed Ambrose. 
At Gortyna, in Crete, (in the seventh century,) the holy Confessor Eumenius, Bishop (of that see.) 
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.
