Séptimo Kaléndas Decémbris Luna vicesima octava Anno Domini 2019
November 25th 2019, the 28th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Alexandria, the holy
Virgin and martyr Katharine. On account of her confession of the
Christian faith, she was cast into prison under the Emperor Maximinus.
She was long flogged with loaded scourges, and at length beheaded. Her
body was in wondrous wise carried by angels to Mount Sinai, where it is
devoutly honoured by the pilgrimages of multitudes of Christians.
At Rome, the holy
martyr Moses, a Priest, who was among those whom holy Cyprian oftentimes
comforted by his letters while they were kept in prison. He contended
manfully not only against the Gentiles, but also against the schismatics
and Novatian heretics. At length, as is attested by holy Pope
Cornelius, he was crowned with an eminent martyrdom in the persecution
under the Emperor Decius.
At Antioch, the holy martyr Erasmus.
At Caesarea, in
Cappadocia, the holy martyr Mercury. He was a soldier, who, by the help
of his Guardian Angel, overcame the barbarians and the cruelty of the
Emperor Decius, and passed away to heaven crowned with a martyrdom
adorned by victory over many torments.
In the province of Aemilia, the holy Virgin Jucunda.
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.
