Arise, O Lord! How long will Thou permit that Sin, Evil & Injustice, be exalted, & allow evildoers to thread down, & supplant, Virtue, Goodness & Justice, to pass off evil as good, & good as evil, lies as truth, & truth as lies, latrociniae, thieveries & robberies as lawfulness, & lawfulness as latrociniae, thieveries & robberies?
«Ecce enim dies veniet succensa quasi caminus: et erunt omnes superbi et omnes facientes impietatem stipula: et inflammabit eos dies veniens, dicit Dominus exercituum, quae non derelinquet eis radicem et germen. Et orietur vobis timentibus nomen meum sol justitiae, et sanitas in pennis ejus: et egrediemini, et salietis sicut vituli de armento. Et calcabitis impios, cum fuerint cinis sub planta pedum vestrorum, in die qua ego facio, dicit Dominus exercituum.»
(«For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace, & all the proud, & all that do wickedly, shall be stubble, & the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch. But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, & health in His wings, & you shall go forth, & shall leap like calves of the herd. And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts.»)
OCTAVE OF CHRISTIAN UNITY: Paul Wattson was a revert from Protestantism, who became a priest. In 1908, the Catholic Church approved Fr. Paul Wattson's proposal of dedicating the 8 days, both days inclusive, of the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Rome, Jan. 18, & the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle, Jan. 25, as the "Octave of Christian Unity;" heretics were either expelled from the Church of Christ, or seceded from her; Christian Unity can only be achieved by a return to the maternal embrace of the Unstainable Bride of Jesus Christ, also called Uniatism, under some circumstances;
PRIMARY LITURGICAL FEAST OF THE DAY: St. Agnes, Virgin, Martyr at Rome, Jan. 21, 304 A.D., she is named for lambs, "agnus," in Latin, & is called Ines or Inez in Portuguese & Castilian; denounced at age of 12 or 13, of being a Christian, by rejected suitors, she was, after other torments, thrown into the fire, but as it was extinguished by her prayers, she was struck with the sword; of her, St. Jerome writes: "Agnes is praised in the writings & by the tongues of all nations, especially in the churches; she overcame the weakness of her age, conquered the cruelty of the tyrant, & consecrated her chastity by martyrdom" (RM); Agnes was ordered to sacrifice to the pagan gods of Rome or lose her virginity by rape; she was dragged to a Roman temple to Minerva (Athena), and when led to the altar, she made the Sign of the Cross; she was threatened, then tortured when she refused to turn against God; to those threatening her, she replied, "Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace &virtue, & I belong to Him whom the angels serve, & I will serve notice other!" On her feast day, two lambs are blessed at her church in Rome, after which, they're sheared of their wool, which is then woven into the palliums (bands of white wool) which the pope confers on archbishops as symbol of their jurisdiction; a few days after her martyrdom, St. Emerentiana, daughter of her wet nurse, & thus her foster-sister, was arrested for praying at her grave, & martyred; St. Constantina, commonly called Santa Constanza, a daughter of Emperor Constantine, was cured of leprosy by praying at her grave (link);
Feast of Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia or Our Lady of High Grace, at Higuey in Hispaniola in commemoration of the victory granted by her intercession, to the Spanish, over the French invaders of the eastern parts of the Isla da Hispaniola that still remained in Spanish possession, now corresponding to the State or Republic of Santo Domingo, at the Battle of Sabana Real de la Limonada, Jan. 21, 1691; the icon is a painting on cloth admeasuring approximately thirteen by eighteen inches, painted by an unknown Spanish artist in the early 14th century; its set in an ornate frame made of gold, enamel & precious stones made by an unknown craftsman in the 18th century & considered one of the finest examples of Dominican goldsmithery. It was restored in Spain in 1978 after centuries of exposure to soot from buring candles; the icon has its origins in the Extremadura, Spain where the Virgin of Altagracia is venerated in two towns, each with its own tradition and hermitage, Garrovillas de Alconetar in the province of Caceres, & Siruela in the province of Badajoz; the tradition of Garrovillas tells of a humble shepherdess who was grazing her flock in the pasture of Villoluengo when she saw on a rock a slender figure of a woman, covered in a black cloak & with a shining halo on her head, sliding the beads of a magnificent rosary between her divine fingers; this apparition was visible only to the girl & could not be seen by her parents; but after her repeated manifestations, they dug under the rock, finding the image that is venerated today under the title of Our Lady of High Grace; a copy of the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the invocation of "of High Grace," was introduced to Higuey in the Isla da Hispaniola at the beginning of the 16th century by the noble family of the brothers Alphonse & Anthony of Trejo, who immigrated with recommendation by King Philip I, in 1506 A.D., from the town of Plasencia in the Extremadura, & with connections to Garrovillas de Alconétar, & who, noticing certain miracles that the icon had favored them with, placed it for wider veneration in the parochial church of Higuey; Our Lady of High Grace of Higuey was crowned Aug. 15, 1922 A.D., at the Porta del Conde in the city of Santo Domingo, previously permitted by Pope Benedict XV, accomplished under Pope Pius XI by the hands of Archbishop Msgr. Sebastian Leite de Vasconcellos, titular archbishop of Damietta, formerly Bishop of Beja in Portugal, arrogantly expelled by the Portuguese klepts, the Freemasonic usurping bandits, in 1910 A.D.; the original shrine Church of the icon of Our Lady of High Grace was St. Denis ("San Dionisio"), however, in the 1950s it was demolished, & its place taken by an industrial complex, or factory, or mall, styled the "Church of Our Lady of High Grace," supposedly elevated to Cathedral & Basilica, a nauseatingly ugly, grotesque, soulless, depressing, degrading, Modernist obscenity & monstrosity, part of the Great Wreckovation of the Great Modernist Apostasy;
Feast of Our Lady of Consolation of Rome: January 21 is the feast day of Our Lady of Consolation in Rome. The feast day for Our Lady of Consolation is celebrated on different days in different places. The title "Our Lady of Consolation" is one of the earliest titles of honor for Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, & comes from the Latin "Consolatrix Afflictorum," meaning "Consoler of the Afflicted." The feast day for Our Lady of Consolation is celebrated in different places, & by different organisations, on different days: The Order of St. Augustine on Sept. 4, the Order of St. Benedict on July 5, etc. In Rome, the feast day for Our Lady of Consolation is January 21, & is celebrated at the Church of Our Lady of Consolation or Santa Maria della Consolazione, in the Rione of Campitelli, Rome; the icon of Our Lady of Consolation was placed here for the benefit of criminals condemned by ancient Roman custom, to be thrown off the Tarpeian Rock atop the Capitoline Hill, &, in the middle ages, by hanging in a square where the Church now stands facing, since then called the Plaza of the Consolation & was paid for by a nobleman Jordanello of the Alberini, in 1385 A.D., condemned to death for crimes, leaving 2 gold florins in his will for this pious purpose, for the consolation of those condemned to execution; initially, the icon was placed against the external wall of the barn of the Mattei family in the open space just under the Tarpeian Rock, the present Piazza del Consolatione & the eponymous Church; on Jan. 21, 1470, a young man was being hanged, having been sentenced to death for murder despite having avowed his innocence of the crime, however, it was found that he was not suffocating & after some time, he was cut down & freed; the young man related that Our Lady of Consolation had appeared to him, saying "Go, because you are consoled!" & an invisible hand had supported him; this event naturally caused such an impression that a collection was started to build a worthy temple for the icon, which was promptly built that same year with the approval of Pope Paul II & the financial support of the Della Rovere family; that chapel was later demolished to make way for a grander temple, which, after two phases of construction, resulted in the present shrine;
Feast of Our Lady of Exile: is marked on Marian Calendars for today, Jan. 21, but information regarding the history, location & occasion, is lost, & totally absent, best that I can find; as is usual with such a situation, others have chosen to cover up the lacunae by filling in with fillers, pious platitudes, that do not show specific, particular history, location & occasion; I refuse to follow because this is disrespectful of the Blessed Virgin Mary & her thoughtful, solicitous messages & Apparitions; I am confident that there is a perfectly reasonable account for this day & observance, that has been obscured, but which the Mother of God, & our Mother in Jesus Christ, will cause to be found, in a time & place amenable to the will, & glory, of God, Amen;
Feast of the Translation of St. Maximus the Great, or "Maximus The Theologian," Jan.21; his Dies Natalis, or, in Greek, Tropaeion, meaning "birthday in the Lord, in heaven," & liturgical feast, is August 13, 662 A.D.; the Greek Cacodox celebrate his feast today; one Cacodox source says that his feasts are Aug. 13 & Jan. 21, one being his translation, but not sure which is which, I rely upon the authority of the One Holy Catholic & Apostolic Roman Church that affirms the date of his Martyrdom, his tropaeion, as Aug. 21 (link1 & link2);
