Séptimo Kaléndas Decémbris Luna prima Anno Dómini 2022
November 25th 2022, the 1st day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Alexandria, the holy Virgin and martyr Katharine. On account of her confession of the Christian faith, she was cast into prison under the Emperor Maximinus. She was long flogged with loaded scourges, and at length beheaded. Her body was in wondrous wise carried by angels to Mount Sinai, where it is devoutly honoured by the pilgrimages of multitudes of Christians.
At Rome, the holy martyr Moses, a Priest, who was among those whom holy Cyprian oftentimes comforted by his letters while they were kept in prison. He contended manfully not only against the Gentiles, but also against the schismatics and Novatian heretics. At length, as is attested by holy Pope Cornelius, he was crowned with an eminent martyrdom in the persecution under the Emperor Decius.
At Antioch, the holy martyr Erasmus.
At Caesarea, in Cappadocia, the holy martyr Mercury. He was a soldier, who, by the help of his Guardian Angel, overcame the barbarians and the cruelty of the Emperor Decius, and passed away to heaven crowned with a martyrdom adorned by victory over many torments.
In the province of Aemilia, the holy Virgin Jucunda.
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.
