Idibus Maii Luna quarta décima Anno Dómini 2022
May 15th 2022, the 14th day of the Moon,
St. John the Baptist de La Salle, Priest and Confessor, who founded the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, and on the seventh day of April fell asleep in the Lord.
In Spain are commemorated the holy Bishops Torquatus, Ctesiphon, Secundus, Indaletius, Caecilius, Hesychius, and Euphratius. They were ordained at Rome by the holy Apostles, and sent to preach the Word of God in Spain. They evangelised diverse cities, and brought countless multitudes into the obedience of the faith of Christ, and fell asleep each in a different place in that land. Torquatus at Cadiz, Ctesiphon at Vierco, Secundus at Avila, Indaletius at Portilla, Caecilius at Elvira, Hesychius at Gibraltar, and Euphratius at Andujar.
At Evora, in Portugal, [in the sixth century,] the holy martyr Mancius.
In the island of Chios, [in the year 251,] was born into the better life: the blessed martyr Isidore, whose church there is a well into the which he is said to have been cast, of the water whereof the sick oftentimes drink and are healed.
At Lampsacus, on the Hellespont, [in the persecution under the Emperor Decius,] suffered the holy martyrs Peter, Andrew, Paul, and Dionysia.
At Faustina, in Sardinia, the holy martyr Simplicius, Bishop [of that see,] who was thrust through with a lance, under the President Barbaros, in the time of the Emperor Diocletian, and so finished his testimony.
At Clermont, in Auvergne, [in the first century,] the holy martyrs Cassius, Victorinus, Maximus, and their Companions.
In Brabant, the holy Virgin and martyr Dymphna, daughter of a King of Ireland, who was beheaded by order of her own father on account of her belief in Christ, and her holding to her virginity.
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.
