Undécimo Kaléndas Octóbris Luna décima séptima Anno Dómini 2024
September 21st 2024, the 17th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
The holy Apostle and Evangelist Matthew, who suffered in Ethiopia, where he had preached the Gospel. A copy of his Gospel written in the Hebrew language was, by a revelation from himself, found in the time of the Emperor Zeno, along with the body of the blessed Apostle Barnabas.
In the land of Shaar, the holy prophet Jonah, who is buried in Gath.
At Rome, the holy martyr Pamphilus.
Likewise at Rome, at the twentieth milestone from the city upon the Claudian Way, the holy Bishop and martyr Pope Alexander I. Under the Emperor Antonine, he, for Christ's faith's sake, overcame fettering, cudgelling, racking, burning with lamps, tearing with hooks, exposure to wild beasts, and the fire of a furnace, and being at last beheaded won the life of glory that fadeth not away. The blessed Pope Damasus afterwards brought his body into the city on the 26th day of November, upon the which day he commanded a feast to be kept in his honour.
In Phoenicia, the holy martyr Eusebius, who went openly to the Prefect and proclaimed himself a Christian, for the which cause he was put to many torments and then beheaded.
In Cyprus, the holy Bishop and martyr Isacius, and there also the holy Bishop and Confessor Meletius.
In Ethiopia, the holy Virgin Iphigenia, who was baptized and consecrated to God by the blessed Apostle Matthew, and fell asleep in a holy death.
℣. 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.
