Prídie Nonas Aprílis Luna vicésima quarta Anno Dómini 2024
April 4th 2024, the 24th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Seville, in Spain, the holy Confessor Isidore, Bishop of that see, famous for his holiness and teaching, who lighted up all Spain by his zeal for the Catholic faith, and by his observance of the discipline of the Church, [in the year 639.]
At Thessalonica, under the Emperor Maximian and the President Faustinus, the holy martyrs, the Deacon Agathopodes, and the Reader Theodulos, who were drowned in the sea with stones tied round their necks, because of their confession of the Christian faith.
At Milan, the burial of the holy Confessor Ambrose, Bishop of that see, by whose labours, teaching, and miracles at the time of the Arian misbelief nearly the whole of Italy was converted to the Catholic faith, [in the year 397.] [We keep his feast upon the 7th day of December, which is that of his ordination as bishop.]
At Constantinople, the holy Monk Plato, who struggled resolutely for many years against the heretics, breakers of the holy images, [in the year 813.]
In Palestine, [in the fifth century,] the holy Hermit Zosimus, who saw to the burying of holy Mary of Egypt.
℣. 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.
