Décimo octávo Kaléndas Decémbris Luna prima Anno Dómini 2023
On the morrow we keep in England the feast of holy Erconwald, Bishop of London, who was famous for many miracles, and of whom mention is made upon the last day of April.
November 14th 2023, the 1st day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Heraclea, in Thrace, the holy martyrs Clementine, Theodotus, and Philomenus.
At Alexandria, the holy martyr Serapion, whom the persecutors under the Emperor Decius most cruelly tormented until they dislocated all his joints, and then cast him down headlong from the top of his own house, and so made him a martyr for Christ.
At Troyes, in Gaul, under the Emperor Aurelian, the holy martyr Venerandus.
Likewise in Gaul, the holy Virgin Veneranda, who received the crown of martyrdom under the Emperor Antonine and Asclepiades the President.
At Gangra, in Paphlagonia, the holy martyr Hypatius, Bishop (of that see,) who was stoned to death by the Novatian heretics on his way back from the great Council of Nicea.
At Algiers, in Africa, (in the year 1240,) the blessed Serapion, the first martyr of the Order of Blessed Mary of Ransom for the Redemption of the Captive Faithful and the Preaching of the Christian Faith. He won his crown by being fastened to a cross and cut limb from limb.
At Emesa, many holy Women, who, for Christ's faith's sake, were most cruelly tortured and murdered under the savage Arab chief Mady.
At Bologna, the holy Confessor Jucundus, Bishop (of that see.) In Ireland, (in the year 1181,) holy Lorcan Ua Tuathail, Archbishop of Dublin.
℣. 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.
