Octávo Idus Octóbris Luna quinta Anno Dómini 2024
On the 8th day of October we keep the Feast of the holy Widow Bridget, (Princess of Nericia.) After many pilgrimages to holy places she died at Rome, full of the Spirit of God, upon the 23rd day of July, (in the year 1373) But her body was taken to Sweden upon the 7th day of October.
October 8th 2024, the 5th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
The holy old man Simeon, of whom it is written in the Gospel that he took the Lord Jesus up in his arms.
At Caesarea, in Palestine, the holy Virgin and martyr Reparata. Forasmuch as she would not offer sacrifice to idols, she was put to diverse torments, and then beheaded, under the Emperor Decius. Her soul was seen to leave her body and soar heavenward in a bodily shape like a dove.
At Thessalonica, the holy Proconsul Demetrius, who brought many to believe in Christ, and was martyred by being pierced through with lances, by command of the Emperor Maximian. There also the holy martyr Nestor.
At Seville, in Spain, the holy martyr Peter.
At Laodicea, the holy Priest Artemon, who under the Emperor Diocletian received the crown of martyrdom by fire.
In the country of Lyons, the holy Virgin and martyr Benedicta.
At Ancona, holy Palatias and Laurentia, who were carried into exile by command of the President Dion, in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian, and died of exhaustion and suffering.
At Rouen, (in the fifth century,) the holy Confessor Evodius, Bishop (of that see.)
At Jerusalem, (about the year 460,) holy Pelagia, surnamed the Penitent.
℣. 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.
