Séptimo Idus Octóbris Luna tértia décima Anno Dómini 2022
October 9th 2022, the 13th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Paris, the holy martyrs Denys the Areopagite, Bishop (of that city,) Rusticus the Priest, and Eleutherius the Deacon. Denys was baptized by the Apostle Paul, and ordained the first Bishop of Athens. He afterward came to Rome, whence he was sent by the Roman Pontiff, the blessed Clement, to preach in Gaul. He came to Paris, where for some years he faithfully executed the task laid upon him then the Prefect Pescenninus, when he had put him to diverse kinds of grievous torments, caused him to be beheaded, along with his two Companions, and so the three together finished their testimony.
Upon the same day is made memorial of the holy Patriarch Abraham, the father of all them that believe.
Upon the same day, were born into the better life:
At Julia, in the country of Parma, upon the Claudian Way, under the Emperor Maximian, the holy martyr Domninus. He was seeking to escape from the fury of the persecutors, but they that came in pursuit of him ran him through with the sword, and he fell gloriously.
At Monte Casino, (in the year 834,) the holy Abbot Deusdedit, who was cast into prison by the tyrant Sicard, and there died of hunger and wretchednesss.
In Hainaut, (about the year 680,) the holy Confessor Ghislain, Bishop, who resigned his see and lived as a monk in a monastery founded by himself, and was famous for many graces.
At Valencia, in Spain, holy Louis Bertrand, of the Order of Friars Preachers, who was filled with the spirit of the Apostolate, and confirmed by innocency of life and many signs the Gospel which he preached to the Americans.
At Jerusalem, holy Andronicus and Athanasia his wife.
At Antioch, the holy Abbess Publia. As the Emperor Julian the Apostate was passing by, she and her Virgins sang those words of David: "The idols of the heathen are silver and gold," and "Let them that make them become like unto them," wherefore the Emperor commanded her to be buffeted and sharply rebuked.
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.
