Octávo Kaléndas Decémbris Luna sexta decima Anno 2018 Domini
On the morrow we keep the Feast of the holy Confessor John of the Cross, of whom mention is made upon the 14th day of December.
November 24th anno Domini 2018 The 16th Day of the Moon were born into the better life:
The holy martyr Chrysogonus, who long endured bonds and imprisonment for his steadfast confession of Christ, but was at length brought to Aquileia by command of Diocletian, and was there beheaded, whereafter his body was cast into the sea, and so he finished his testimony.
At Rome, the holy martyr Crescentian, of whom record is made in the history of the last sufferings of the blessed Pope Marcellus.
At Amelia, in Umbria, the holy Virgin and martyr Firmina in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian she was put to divers torments, but was at length hung up and burnt with lamps, until she gave up the ghost.
At Corinth, under the Emperor Julian the Apostate and the President Sallust, the holy martyr Alexander, who fought for Christ's faith even unto death.

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.
