Quarto Idus Augústi Luna duodécima Anno Dómini 2022
August 10th 2022, the 12th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, upon the Tiburtine Way, [in the year 258,] the blessed Archdeacon Lawrence. In the persecution under the Emperor Valerian he suffered many torments, diverse stripes, armed scourges, cudgels, and whips loaded with lead, and plates of heated metal, and at the last he was laid upon a bed of iron bars over a slow fire, and so finished his testimony. His body was buried in the cemetery of St. Cyriaca in the Veran field by blessed Hippolytus and Justin the Priest.
Likewise at Rome, [in the third century,] one hundred and sixty-five holy soldiers, who suffered martyrdom under the Emperor Aurelian.
At Bergamo, in the persecution under the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, the holy Virgin and martyr Asteria.
At Alexandria are commemorated the holy martyrs, who under the President Aemilian, in the persecution under the Emperor Valerian, were long tortured with diverse and terrible torments, and gained the crown of martyrdom by diverse kinds of death.
At Carthage, the holy Virgins Bassa, Paula, and Agathonica, all martyrs.
At Rome, [in the sixth century,] the holy Confessor Deus Dedit, who gave to the poor every Saturday whatever he had gained by working with his hands throughout the week.
In Spain, the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, styled of Ransom, Foundress of the Order for the Redemption of Captives, established in her name.
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.
