Séptimo Idus Ianuárii Luna vicésima sexta Anno Dómini 2024
On the morrow we call to mind the return of the Child Jesus out of Egypt.
January 7th 2024, the 26th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Nicomedia, for confessing Christ, in the persecution under the Emperor Galerius Maximian, the blessed martyr Lucian, priest of the Church of Antioch, distinguished for his learning and eloquence, whose praise hath been recorded by holy John Chrysostom. He is buried at Helenopolis in Bithynia.
At Antioch, the holy martyr the deacon Cleri, who on account of his glorious confession was seven times put to the torture, suffered long in prison, and at length was beheaded.
In the city of Heraclea, the holy martyrs Felix and Januarius.
On the same day, the holy martyr Julian.
In Denmark (in the year 1086), the holy martyr King Canute (IV.), whose feast is kept on January 19 (although not in England).
At Pavia, the holy confessor Crispin (I.), bishop of that see (in the year 248).
In Dacia, the holy bishop Nicetas, who by his preaching of the Gospel caused savage and barbarous tribes to become mild and gentle. (Fifth century.)
In Egypt, the blessed monk Theodore, who flourished in holiness in the time of the Emperor Constantine the Great, and of whom mention is made by holy Athanasius in the life of holy Anthony.
At Barcelona (in the year 1275), holy Raymond of Penafuerte, of the order of Friars Preachers, famous for his holiness and teaching, whose feast we keep upon the 23rd day of this present month of January.
℣. 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.
