A belated saints of the day post.......

Today has no universal feast, but the Martyrology contains 14 entries. Among the highlights:


1. Saints Felix and Adauctus, Roman martyrs who, side by side confessing Christ in chaste faith, side by side made haste as victors to Heaven.
2. Commemoration of the sixty martyrs who, at the colony of Suffetulana in Africa, having destroyed the image of Hermes, were killed by a pagan mob.
8. Saint Margaret Ward, English martyr of Tyburn who was killed uner Elizabeth for helping Father Richard Watson to escape Bridewelll Prison.
