Octávo Idus Septémbris Luna secúnda Anno Dómini 2024
September 6th 2024, the 2nd day of the Moon, is commemorated
The Prophet Zachariah, who returned home from Chaldea as an old man, and is buried beside the prophet Haggai.
Upon the same day, were born into the better life: At the Dardanelles, holy Onesiphorus, a disciple of the Apostles, of whom holy Paul maketh mention in writing unto Timothy. By command of the Proconsul Hadrian, holy Onesiphorus and Porphyry were heavily beaten, and drawn by wild horses, and so gave up their souls to God.
At Alexandria, the holy martyrs the Priest Faustus, Macarius, and ten Companions, who finished their testimony for Christ's name's sake, under the Emperor Decius and the President Valerius, by being beheaded.
In Cappadocia, the holy martyrs the Deacon Cottidus, Eugenius, and their Companions.
In Africa, the holy Bishops Donatian, Prassidius, Mansuetus, German, and Fusculus, who in the persecution under the Vandals were, by command of the Arian King Hunneric, because of their assertion of the Catholic truth, heavily beaten with cudgels, and banished. Among them was also a Bishop named Laetus, a man of great activity and learning, who, after suffering a long and foul imprisonment, was burnt.
At Verona, (in the fifth century,) the holy Confessor Petronius, Bishop (of that see.) At Rome, the holy Abbot Eleutherius, the servant of God, of whom holy Pope Gregory writeth, that by his prayer and tears he raised a man from the dead.
℣. 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.
