October 18th 2021, the 12th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
The blessed Evangelist Luke, who suffered many things for Christ's Name's sake, and died in Bithynia, full of the Holy Ghost. His bones were first brought to Constantinople, and thence to Padua.
At Antioch, holy Asclepiades, Patriarch (of that see,) who was one of the noble multitude of martyrs who suffered gloriously under Macrinus.
In the country of Beauvais, the holy martyr Justus, who, while he was yet a lad, was slain under the President Rictiovarus in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian.
At Neo-Caesarea, in Pontus, the holy martyr Athenodorus, Bishop (of that see.) He was brother of holy Gregory the Wonder-worker, was famous for his teaching, and was crowned with martyrdom in the persecution under the Emperor Aurelian.
On the bank of the Euphrates, in Mesopotamia, (at the end of the fourth century,) the holy hermit Julian.
At Rome, the holy Confessor Paul of the Cross, founder of the Congregation styled the Congregation of the Cross and Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.
