October 22nd 2023, the 8th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Jerusalem, the blessed Bishop Mark, a man of great eminence and learning, who was the first Gentile to be entrusted with the government of the Church of Jerusalem, and who in no long time gained the palm of martyrdom under the Emperor Antonine.
At Adrianople, in Thrace, the holy martyrs Philip, Bishop (of Heraclea,) the Priest Severus, Eusebius, and Hermes, who, under the Emperor Julian the Apostate, were imprisoned and flogged, and then burnt.
Likewise, the holy martyrs the Bishop Alexander, the soldier Heraclius, and their Companions.
At Fermo, in the March of Ancona, (in the third century,) the holy Bishop and martyr Philip.
At Huesca, in Spain, (in the ninth century,) the holy sisters Nunilo and Alodia, two Virgins who were punished with death by the Saracens for their confession of the faith, and so suffered martyrdom.
At Cologne, holy Cordula, one of the Companions of holy Ursula, who had hidden herself in terror at the sight of the sufferings and slaughter of the others, but repented thereof, and on the next day showed herself openly, and received the crown of martyrdom, the last of them all.
At Hierapolis, in Phrygia, holy Abercius, who was illustrious in the time of the Emperor Mark Antonine.
At Rouen, holy Melanius, Bishop (of that see,) who was ordained by holy Pope Stephen I., and sent thither to preach the Gospel.

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.
