The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER XIV
How the Night Office Is to Be Said on the Feasts of the Saints
On the feasts of the saints and on all solemn festivals let the night office be performed as we said it should be done on Sunday; except that the psalms, the antiphons, and the lessons proper for that day be said; but let the number above mentioned be maintained.
Martyrology-October 19th
Roman Martyrology-October 19th- on this date in various years-
St. Peter of Alcantara, priest of the Order of Friars Minor and
confessor, whose birthday was mentioned in the day previous to this.
At Rome, the birthday of the holy martyrs Ptolemy and Lucius, in the
time of Marcus Antoninus. The former, as we learn from the martyr
Justin, converted a certain immodest woman to the faith of Christ and
induced her to practice chastity. He was accused by an evil man
before the prefect Urbicius and made to undergo a long imprisonment
in a foul dungeon. At length, because he declared by a public
confession that Christ was his master, he was led to execution.
Lucius protested against the sentence of Urbicius, and freely
proclaimed himself to be a Christian, whereby he received the same
sentence. To them was added still a third martyr, who was condemned
to suffer a like punishment.
At Antioch, the holy martyrs Beronicus, the virgin Pelagia, and
forty-nine others.
In Egypt, St. Varus, a soldier, who, under Emperor Maximian, visited
and comforted seven holy monks who were kept in prison. When one of
them died he wished to be accepted in his place, and after suffering
most cruel torments with them he obtained the palm of martyrdom.
At Evreux in France, St. Aquilinus, bishop and confessor.
In the diocese of Orleans, the death of St. Veranus, bishop.
At Salerno, St. Eusterius, bishop.
In Ireland, in the monastery of the Forest of Kildare, St. Ethbin,
abbot.
At Oxford in England, St. Frideswide, virgin.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors,
and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
