Octávo Idus Novémbris Luna prima Anno Dómini 2021
November 6th 2021, the 1st 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.
