October 18th 2019, the 20th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
The blessed Evangelist
Luke, who suffered many things for Christ's Name's sake, and died in
Bithynia, full of the Holy Ghost. His bones were first brought to
Constantinople, and thence to Padua.
At Antioch, holy
Asclepiades, Patriarch (of that see,) who was one of the noble multitude
of martyrs who suffered gloriously under Macrinus.
In the country of
Beauvais, the holy martyr Justus, who, while he was yet a lad, was slain
under the President Rictiovarus in the persecution under the Emperor
Diocletian.
At Neo-Caesarea, in
Pontus, the holy martyr Athenodorus, Bishop (of that see.) He was
brother of holy Gregory the Wonder-worker, was famous for his teaching,
and was crowned with martyrdom in the persecution under the Emperor

On the bank of the Euphrates, in Mesopotamia, (at the end of the fourth century,) the holy hermit Julian.
At Rome, the holy
Confessor Paul of the Cross, founder of the Congregation styled the
Congregation of the Cross and Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was

his name among those of the Saints, and appointed for his festival the
28th day of April.
At Rome also, (in the
third century,) holy Tryphonia, widow of Decius Caesar. She is buried in
the Catacombs beside holy Hippolytus.

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 Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, 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.
