January 16th 2022, the 13th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

At Rome, upon the Salarian Way, the holy martyr Pope Marcellus I, who for his confession of the Catholic faith was first cudgelled by order of the tyrant Maxentius and then sent to take care of the beasts which were fed at the public cost, in the which service he died, clad in sack-cloth, (in the year 309-310.)
At Morocco, in Africa, (in the year 1220,) the holy martyrs Berard (de Carbis), Peter, Accursius, Adjutus, and Otho, of the Order of Friars Minors.
At Arles, (in the year 429,) the holy Confessor Honoratus, Bishop of that see, whose life was rendered famous by his teaching and miracles.
At Moerzo, the holy Confessor Titian, Bishop of that see.
At Al-Arish, in Egypt, holy Melas, Bishop of that see, (in the fifth century,) who was exiled under the Emperor Valens and suffered other hardships for the Catholic faith's sake, but at length fell asleep in peace.
At Fondi, in Campania, (in the sixth century,) the holy Abbot Honoratus, (who was set over the monastery of Fondi) of whom mention is made by blessed Pope Gregory.
In the monastery of Perouse, the holy Confessor Fursey, (Abbot of Lagny, in the year 650.)
At Rome, holy Priscilla, who gave up herself and all that she had to the service of the martyrs.

  1. As I type this someone in the world is being martyred for the faith. We need to speak out as believers.

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.
