Octávo Kaléndas Februárii Luna tricesima Anno Domini 2020
On
the morrow we commemorate the conversion of the holy Apostle Paul, which
took place in the second year after our Lord's ascension.
January 25th 2020, the 30th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Damascus, holy
Ananias, who baptized the aforesaid apostle. He preached the Gospel at
Damascus and at other places, and was first scourged and rent with
thongs, and then stoned to death under the judge Licinius.
At Antioch, the holy
martyrs Juventinus and Maximus, who were crowned with martyrdom under
the Emperor Julian the Apostate, and on whose feast-day holy John
Chrysostom preached unto the people.
At Auvergne, (in the
year 674,) the holy martyrs Projectus, Bishop of that see, and Marinus
the man of God, who suffered under the chief men of that city.
Likewise the holy martyrs Donatus, Sabinus, and Agapis.
At Tomis, in Scythia,
holy Bretannion, Bishop (of that see), who flourished in the Church in
wonderful holiness and zeal for the Catholic faith under the Arian
Emperor Valens, whom he withstood stoutly.
At Arras, in Gaul, holy
Poppo, Abbot (of Stavelotz,) famous for miracles, (in the year 1048,
and also his mother, blessed Adelviva.)
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.
