Tértio Nonas Novémbris Luna septima decima Anno Domini 2020
On the morrow we keep in England the feast of the holy Virgin and martyr Winefrid.
November 3rd 2020, the 17th 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.
At Vienne, (in the sixth century,) holy Domnus, Bishop (of that see.)
Likewise (in the year 755,) holy Pirmin, Bishop of Meaux.

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.
