Nono Kaléndas Novémbris Luna décima Anno Dómini 2023
On the morrow, we keep the feast of the holy Archangel Raphael.
October 24th 2023, the 10th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Venosa, in Apulia, the holy martyrs Felix, Bishop (of Tubzoca or Thibira,) in Africa the Priests Audactus and Januarius and the Readers Fortunatus and Septimus. In the time of the Emperor Diocletian they long suffered bonds and imprisonment in Africa and Sicily under the Procurator Magdellian, and, forasmuch as Felix refused to give up the holy books as commanded by the edict of the Emperor, they were at last slain with the sword.
In the city of Nagran, in Yemen, (in the sixth century,) under the Jewish tyrant Dunaan, in the time of the Emperor Justin, the holy martyrs Aretas and his three hundred and forty Companions.
After them was burnt a Christian woman and her son, aged five years, could neither be cajoled nor threatened into ceasing to confess Christ, but cast himself into the fire wherein his mother was being burnt.
At Cologne, (in the fifth century,) the holy martyr Evergistus, Bishop (of that see.) At Constantinople, (in the year 447,) the holy Archbishop Proclus.
In Brittany, (in the year 575,) holy Magloire, Bishop (of Dol,) whose body lieth at Paris.
In the monastery of Vertou, (in the year 60 r,) the holy Abbot Martin.
In Campania, holy Mark the Hermit, whose illustrious works are recorded by holy Gregory.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. 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.
