Undécimo Kaléndas Septémbris Luna vicésima quarta Anno Dómini 2022
On the morrow is the Octave of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
August 22nd 2022, the 24th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, upon the Ostian Way, [in the fourth century,] the holy martyr Timothy. He was tried by Tarquinius, Prefect of the city, and suffered a long imprisonment, and forasmuch as he would not sacrifice to idols, he was then hided, put to horrid tortures, and at length beheaded.
At Porto, [in the third century,] holy Hippolytus, Bishop [of that city,] a man of eminent learning, who received the palm of martyrdom under the Emperor Alexander, on account of his illustrious confession of the faith, for the which he had his hands and feet tied and was cast into a deep pit full of water his body was buried by the Christians at the same place.
At Autun, the holy martyr Symphorian, who finished his testimony in the time of the Emperor Aurelian, because he would not sacrifice unto idols, being first beaten, then imprisoned, and in the end beheaded.
At Rome, [in the second century,] the holy martyr Antoninus. He openly professed himself a Christian, and therefore was sentenced to death by Vitellius the judge, and was buried upon the Aurelian Way.
Likewise at Porto, [in the third century,] the holy martyrs Martial, Saturninus, Epictetus, Maprilis, and Felix, and their Companions.
At Nicomedia, under the Emperor Maximian and the President Eutholomius, the holy martyrs Agathonicus, Zoticus, and their Companions.
At Tarsus, [in Cilicia,] under the Emperor Valerian, the holy martyrs Athanasius, Bishop [of that see,] the noble lady Anthusa, whom he had baptized, and two of her slaves, [called Charisius and Neophytus.]
At Reims, [at the end of the third century,] the holy martyrs Maurus and his [forty-nine] Companions.
In Spain, the holy martyrs Fabrician and Philibert.
At Pavia, the holy martyr Gunifort.
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.
