Tértio Nonas Novémbris Luna sexta Anno Domini 2019
On
this day, the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed, on which day
Holy Church, their common Mother, after due diligence to celebrate with
fitting praise all her children who now rejoice in heaven, doth strive
also to assist by her prayers all them that suffer still in Purgatory,
which are of avail before Christ, her Lord and Spouse, in order that as
speedily as possible they may join the society of the citizens on high.
On the morrow we keep in England the feast of the holy Virgin and martyr Winefrid.
November 3rd 2019, the 6th day of the Moon, were also born into the better life:
Holy Quartus, the disciple of the Apostles.
At Caesarea, in
Cappadocia, the holy martyrs Germanus, Theophilus, Caesarius, and
Vitalis, who bore a noble testimony in the persecution under the Emperor
Decius.
At Saragossa, countless
holy martyrs, who wondrously laid down their lives for Christ's sake
under Dacian, President of Spain, (in the year 304.)
At Viterbo, the holy
martyrs Valentine the Priest and Hilary the Deacon, who, in the
persecution under the Emperor Maximian, were for Christ's faith's sake
cast into the Tiber weighted with stones, but by the will of God were
thence delivered by an Angel, and received the crown of martyrdom by
being beheaded.
At the monastery of
Clairvaux, (in the year 1148,) holy Maleachlan, Archbishop of Armagh, in
Ireland, who in his time shone with many graces, and whose life hath
been written by the holy Abbot Bernard.
On the same day, (in the year 727,) holy Hubert, Bishop of Tongres.

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.
