Tértio Nonas Novémbris Luna vicésima tértia. Anno Dómini 2026
November 3rd 2026, the 23rd day of the Moon,
On this day, the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed, on which day Holy Church, their common Mother, after due diligence to celebrate with fitting praise all her children who now rejoice in heaven, doth strive also to assist by her prayers all them that suffer still in Purgatory, which are of avail before Christ, her Lord and Spouse, in order that as speedily as possible they may join the society of the citizens on high.
On the morrow we keep in England the feast of the holy Virgin and martyr Winefrid.
Upon the same 3rd day of November, were also born into the better life:
At Milan, (in the year 1584,) holy Charles Borromeo, Cardinal Archbishop of that city, eminent for holiness and famous for miracles, whose name Paul V enrolled among those of the Saints.
Holy Quartus, the disciple of the Apostles.
At Viterbo, the holy martyrs Valentine the Priest and Hilary the Deacon, who, in the persecution under the Emperor Maximian, were for Christ's faith's sake cast into the Tiber weighted with stones, but by the will of God were thence delivered by an Angel, and received the crown of martyrdom by being beheaded.
At Caesarea, in Cappadocia, the holy martyrs Germanus, Theophilus, Caesarius, and Vitalis, who bore a noble testimony in the persecution under the Emperor Decius.
At Saragossa, countless holy martyrs, who wondrously laid down their lives for Christ's sake under Dacian, President of Spain, (in the year 304.)
At the monastery of Clairvaux, (in the year 1148,) holy Maleachlan, Archbishop of Armagh, in Ireland, who in his time shone with many graces, and whose life hath been written by the holy Abbot Bernard.
On the same day, (in the year 727,) holy Hubert, Bishop of Tongres.
At Vienne, (in the sixth century,) holy Domnus, Bishop (of that see.)
Likewise (in the year 755,) holy Pirmin, Bishop of Meaux.
At Urgel, in Spain, holy Hermengaudus, Bishop (of that see.)
At Rome, holy Sylvia, the mother of holy Pope Gregory.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℣. The just shall be in everlasting remembrance.
℟. They will not fear from hearing evil.
Let us pray.
O God the giver of pardon, and the lover of human salvation, we beseech thy clemency: that thou grant the brethren of our congregation, kinsfolk, and benefactors, which are departed out of this world, blessed Mary ever Virgin making intercession with all the saints, to come to the fellowship of eternal blessedness. Through Christ our Lord.
℟. Amen.

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 Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, 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.
