Sexto Idus Septémbris Luna quarta Anno Dómini 2024
September 8th 2024, the 4th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
On the morrow we commemorate the birth of the Most Blessed Mary, always a Virgin, Mother of God.
Upon the same day are commemorated the holy martyr Adrian, and twenty-three others, who finished their testimony at Nicomedia after many sufferings, under the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, by having their legs broken, upon the 4th day of March. Their relics were carried by the Christians to Byzantium, where they were buried with reverence and honour, and thence the body of holy Adrian was afterwards brought to Rome, upon the 8th of this month, upon which day the chief feast is kept in his honour.
At Alexandria, the holy martyrs Ammon, Theophilus, Neoterius, and twenty-two others.
At Antioch, the holy martyrs Timothy and Faustus.
At Gaza, in Palestine, the holy brethren Eusebius, Nestabus, and Zeno, all martyrs, in the time of the Emperor Julian the Apostate.
A multitude of the Gentiles fell upon them, rent them, and slew them.
There also the holy martyr Nestor, who was most cruelly tormented by the same raging Gentiles, under the same Emperor Julian, and gave up the ghost.
At Valencia, in Spain, holy Thomas of Villanueva, Archbishop (of that city,) famous for his exceeding charity toward the poor. His name was enrolled among those of the Saints by Pope Alexander VII, and we keep his feast upon the 22nd day of this present month of September.
At Frisingen, holy Corbinian, first Bishop of that city. He was ordained and sent forth to preach the Gospel by Pope Gregory II. He bore much fruit in Gaul and in Germany, and at length fell asleep in peace, famous for graces and wonders.
℣. 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.
