Prídie Idus Februárii Luna octava Anno Domini 2019
On the morrow we keep in England the feast of the holy Confessor Benedict Biscop, founder and Abbot of the monastery of Jarrow-upon-Tyne, of whom mention hath been made upon the 12th day of January.
February 12th 2019, the 8th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Barcelona, in Spain, the holy Virgin Eulalia, who received a glorious crown in the time of the Emperor Diocletian. She suffered racking, tearing with hooks, and scorching with fire, and was finally crucified, [in the year 304.]
In Africa, the holy soldier and martyr Damian.
At Carthage, the holy martyrs Modestus and Julian.
At Benevento, the holy martyr Modestus the Levite.
At Alexandria, the holy children Modestus and Ammonius.
At Constantinople, [in the year 381,] holy Meletius, Patriarch of Antioch, who passed away to be ever with the Lord, when he was in exile, which he oftentimes suffered for the Catholic faith's sake. Holy John Chrysostom and Gregory of Nyssa have greatly praised him.
At Constantinople, [in the year 895,] in the time of the Emperor Leo VI, holy Anthony, Bishop [of Constantinople.]
At Verona, the holy Confessor Gaudentius, 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.
