Décimo séptimo Kaléndas Octóbris Luna undécima Anno Dómini 2024
The Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.
The morrow is the Octave of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
September 15th 2024, the 11th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, upon the Nomentan Way, (in the first century,) the holy martyr Nicomede the Priest. Unto them that would have forced him to offer sacrifice he said, " I do not sacrifice, save unto the Almighty God, Who reigneth in the heavens," and he was beaten with scourges loaded with lead until at last he passed away to be ever with the Lord.
In the country of Chalons, (in the second century,) the holy martyr Valerian. The President Priscus caused him to be hung up and tormented by mangling with metal hooks, but when he saw that he could not be shaken in his confession of Christ, but continued the rather to praise Him with a glad heart, he commanded to slay him with the sword.
At Marcianopolis, in Thrace, the holy martyr Melitina. Under the Emperor Antonine and the President Antiochus, she was twice brought to the temples of the Gentiles, but as the idols continually fell down, she was hung up and mangled, and at last beheaded.
At Adrianople, the holy martyrs Maximus, Theodore, and Asclepiodotus, who were crowned under the Emperor Maximian.
Also holy Porphyry, a jester who received baptism as a farce in the presence of the Emperor Julian the Apostate, and was thereupon suddenly changed by the power of God, so that he professed himself to be a Christian, and by command of the Emperor received martyrdom by the axe.
Upon the same day, the holy Goth Nicetas, who was burnt by order of King Athanaric for the Catholic faith's sake.
At Cordova, (in the ninth century,) the holy martyrs Emilas, the Deacon, and Jeremiah, who suffered a long imprisonment in the persecution under the Arabs, and finished their testimony by being beheaded.
At Toul, in Lorraine, (in the fifth century,) the holy Confessor Aper, Bishop (of that see.) Likewise, (in the sixth century,) holy Lubin, Bishop of Chartres.
At Lyons, (in the fourth century,) holy Albin, Bishop (of that see.) On the same day, (in the seventh century,) holy Aichard, Abbot (of Jumieges.) In (Auvergne, in) Gaul, (in the fifth century,) the holy widow Eutropia.
℣. 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.
