Sexto Idus Novémbris Luna sexta Anno Dómini 2024
The morrow is the Octave of All Saints.
November 8th 2024, the 6th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, upon the Lavican Way, upon the third milestone from the city, the holy martyrs Claudius, Nicostratus, Symphorian, Castorius, and Simplicius, they were first cast into prison, then heavily lashed with loaded scourges, and as their faith in Christ could not be shaken the Emperor Diocletian commanded that they should be cast into the river.
Likewise at Rome, upon the Lavican Way, the holy martyrs called the "Crowned" brethren, Severus, Severian, Carpophorus, and Victorinus, who under the aforesaid Emperor Diocletian were flogged to death with scourges loaded with lead. Their names were afterwards revealed by the Lord after diverse years, but as they were unknown at the time it was ordained that on the anniversary of their deaths they should be commemorated, along with the five above mentioned, under the title of the Four that were Crowned, and the said custom hath still gone on in the Church ever since their names have been known.
At Rome, (in the year 618,) the holy Pope Deusdedit, whose grace was such that by his kiss he made a leper clean.
At Bremen, (about the year 789,) holy Willehad, first Bishop of that see. He spread the Gospel in Friesland and Saxony along with holy Boniface, whose disciple he was.
At Soissons, in Gaul, (in the year 1118,) holy Godfrey, Bishop of Amiens, a man of great holiness.
At Verdun, the holy Confessor Maurus, Bishop (of that see.)
At Tours, (in the fourth century,) the holy priest Clarus, whose epitaph was written by holy Paulinus.
℣. 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.
