Tértio Idus Octóbris Luna quinta decima Anno Domini 2019
Of
holy Edward, King of England, who died upon the 5th day of January, but
whose feast is kept upon the 13th day of October, which is that of the
translation of his body.
October 13th 2019, the 15th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Troas, in Asia Minor, holy Carpus, the disciple of the blessed Apostle Paul.
At Cordova, in Spain,
(in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian,) the holy martyrs
Faustus, Januarius, and Martial, who were first racked, then had their
eyebrows, ears, and noses cut off, and their teeth drawn, and at last
completed their suffering martyrdom by fire.
At Thessalonica, the holy martyr Florence, who was put to divers tortures and then burnt.
In Austria, (in the eleventh century,) the holy martyr Colman.
At Ceuta, in Morocco,
(in the year 1221,) seven holy martyrs belonging to the Order of Friars
Minor namely, Daniel, Samuel, Angelo, Domnus, Leo, Nicolas, and Hugolin
for their preaching of the Gospel and their confutation of the
Mohammedan religion, the Saracens inflicted upon them insults, chains,
and stripes, and then beheaded them and so they gained the palm of
martyrdom.
At Antioch, (towards
the end of the second century,) the holy Patriarch Theophilus, the sixth
after the blessed Apostle Peter, who held the bishopric of that church.
At Tours, (in the fifth century,) the holy Confessor Venantius, Abbot (of St. Martin's Monastery.)
At Subiaco, in Latium, the holy Virgin Chelidonia.
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.
