Tomorrow is the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, styled of Mount Carmel.
July 16th 2022, the 17th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Greece, the holy martyr Faustus, who was crucified under the Emperor Decius. He remained alive upon the cross five days, and at last was pierced with arrows, and so passed away to Heaven.
At Sebaste, in Armenia, under the Emperor Diocletian, the holy martyrs Bishop Athenogenes, and ten of his disciples.
At Antioch, in Syria, the blessed Confessor Eustace, [Patriarch of Antioch,] famous for his teaching and holiness, [in the year 338.] Under the Arian Emperor Constantius he was banished, for defending the Catholic faith, to Trajanopolis, in Thrace, where he fell asleep in the Lord.
On the same day the holy Monk Hilarinus, who was arrested in the persecution under the Emperor Julian the Apostate, along with holy Donatus, and for as much as he would not offer sacrifice, he was beaten to death with clubs, and so received martyrdom, at Arezzo, in Tuscany, but his body hath been brought to Ostia.
At Trier, the holy martyr Valentine, Bishop [of that see, in the fourth century.]
At Cordova, in Spain, the holy levite Sisenand, a martyr, [born at Badajoz, the capital of Estramadura.]
While he was still young he entered the community of the Clerks of Saint Aciocle of Cordova,] who was slain by the Saracens, for Christ's faith's sake, [in the year 851.]
In Saintes, in Gaul, the holy Virgin Rainaldis and her Companions, martyrs, who were slain by the barbarians, for Christ's faith's sake, [in the year 680.]
At Bergamo, the holy martyr Domnion, [under Maximianus Herculeus.]
At Capua, the holy Confessor Vitalian, Bishop [of that see, in the seventh century.]
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.
