Octávo Idus Novémbris Luna nona Anno Domini 2019
November 6th 2019, the 9th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Thinissa, in Africa,
(in the fourth century,) the holy martyr Felix, who had made his
confession and was reserved for the torture, when on the next day he was
found dead in prison, as is told by holy Augustine in his exposition of
Ps. cxxvii. made to the people upon his festival.
At Antioch, ten holy martyrs who are recorded to have suffered at the hands of the Saracens.
At Barcelona, the holy
martyr Severus, Bishop (of that see,) who for the Catholic faith's sake
had a nail driven into his head, and so received the crown of martyrdom.
In Phrygia, holy Atticus.
At Bergues, (before the
middle of the eighth century,) holy Winoc, Abbot (of Wormhout,) famous
for graces and miracles, who ministered for a long time to the brethren
subject unto him.
At Fondi, in Latium, (in the sixth century,) the holy Monk Felix.
At Limoges, in
Aquitaine, (in the sixth century,) the holy Confessor Leonard, a
disciple of blessed Bishop Remy. He was noble by birth, but chose the
life of an hermit, and is famous for his holiness and miracles, but his
power hath been most chiefly shown in the freeing of prisoners.
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.
