Sextodécimo Kaléndas Maii Luna vicésima quinta Anno Dómini 2023
April 16th 2023, the 25th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
The Sunday in White, and the Octave of the Pasch.
At Rome, [in the year 1783,] the holy Confessor Benedict Joseph Labre, illustrious for his contempt of himself, and his absolute voluntary poverty.
At Corinth, the holy martyrs Callistus and Charisius, and seven others, who were all drowned in the sea, [third century.]
At Saragossa, in Spain, the eighteen holy martyrs, Optatus, Lupercus, Successus, Martial, Urban, Julia, Quintilian, Publius, Fronto, Felix, Caecilian, Eventius, Primitivus, Apodemius, and four others who were all named Saturninus; all these were tormented and slain at one time under Dacian, President of Spain, [about the year 304.] Prudentius has celebrated their illustrious martyrdom in poetry.
Likewise at Saragossa, the holy Virgin and martyr Encratis, who, after her body had been mangled, her breasts cut off, and her liver torn out, still survived, and was kept shut up in prison until her body mortified, [in the year 303 or 304.]
In the same city, the holy martyrs Caius and Crementius, who having confessed Christ for the second time, remained firm in His faith, and drank the cup of His testimony, [after the year 303.]
There likewise, [in the sixth century,] the holy martyr Lambert.
At Palencia, holy Turibius, Bishop of Astorga, who with the help of holy Pope Leo rooted the Priscillianist heresy completely out of Spain, and fell asleep in peace, famous for miracles, [in the year 460.]
At Braga, in Portugal, [in the year 665,] holy Fructuosus, Bishop of that see.
On the same day, holy Paternus, Bishop of Avranches, [in the year 565.]
At Valenciennes, in France, the holy Confessor Drogo, [in the year 1189.]
At Siena, in Tuscany, blessed Joachim, of the Order of Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary, [in the year 1305.]
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.
