Janeir-22-acem Sogglem Santam

Inscriçoes de Menologia para Janeiro 22; Janeir 22-acem sogglem santam: 

Exsurge Domine, et Libera Nos A Malo! ("Arise Lord, & Deliver us from evil!")

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: 

Sts. Vincent & Anastasius, Martyrs
Semidouble Feast:

Under terrible & savage torments, fortified by the Lord, St. Vincent, on a gridiron over burning coals, exclaims, "I thought that your cruelty would go still further;" while St. Anastasius said, "I expected a more cruel kind of death;"

St. Vincentius, or St. Vincent, Deacon at Saragosa or Zaragoza, Martyr at Valencia, Jan. 22, 304 A.D., under the wicked governor Publius Datianus, commonly, but probably incorrectly, called Dacianus; after suffering imprisonment, hunger, the torture, the disjointing of his limbs; after being burned with plates of heated metal & on the gridiron, & tormented in other ways, took his flight to Heaven, there to receive the reward of martyrdom; Dacianus had his sacred relics thrown onto a dunghill or rubbish dump, where a hermitage would be built, today the parish of St. Vincent Martyr in Benimamet, on the outskirts of the city of Valencia, & denied burial, but a raven miraculously defended it, fighting off, with its claws, beak, & wings, against birds of prey & a wolf; Dacianus, hearing this, ordered it to be thrown into a deep part of the sea, tied up in a sack, & weighted down by a millstone, but by a fresh prodigy, it was washed to the shore with the millstone attached, & the Christians gave it burial; his noble triumph over his sufferings has been elegantly set forth in verse by Prudentius, & highly eulogized by St. Augustine & Pope St. Leo; 

The Holy Martyrs of Barsaloe, or Bethsaloe in Mesopotamia, Saints Anastasius & Companions, Jan. 22, 628 A.D.; Anastasius was a Persian monk, & a revert from Zoroastrianism, previously known as Magundat; after suffering much at the hands of the invader, Chosroes II, king of Persia, from hatred of God, of Jesus Christ, Odium fidei, being excited to wrath by the Zoroastrian priests, suffering imprisonment, stripes & fetters, & many other afflictions, was lastly decapitated by the sword; 70 of his companions were dispatched before him to martyrdom, being tortured, & thrown into rivers, to be drowned; his head was brought to Rome, together with his venerable likeness, & initially enshrined at Aquae Salviae, & now at the Church of Saints Vincent & Anastasius, or Chiesa dei Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio in the rione of Trevi; by the sight of his relics, demons are expelled, & diseases cured, as is attested by the Acts of the 2nd Council of Nicaea; 

Anastasius was born in Ray, Persia, to a magus named Bavi, & given the name, Magundates; he served as a military commander in Asia Minor & Syria in the army of Chosroes II, participating in the capture of the True Cross in Jerusalem, but was so impressed by the obvious power of the relic of the Holy Cross, & the devotion & sanctity of the Christians who flocked to it, that, being illuminated by God, he reverted to Christianity, becoming a monk in Jerusalem under the Christian name Anastasius, which means "resurrection" in Greek; he had been a Magian, which is the caste of priests of the Zoroastrians, he had never been a "magician;" after 7 years of life as a an ascetic monk, he was again inspired by God the Holy Ghost to go to Caesarea, which was then under the control of the Persians, & be martyred; going to Caesarean, he preached to his fellow Iranians, reproaching the Magi for their superstitious idolatry of fire & the sun, for which, he was seized, & taken away to Barsaloe, or Bethsaloe, where he was tortured, beaten with rods, hung by his hands with a heavy stone tied to his feet, forced to work in a stone quarry, & finally strangled & decapitated by a sword, for his Christian faith, for renouncing the false religion of Zoroastrianism, & for refusing to apostatize; his body was thrown to dogs, but they refused to eat it; the eunuch in charge of the prison at Barsaloe wished to keep the relics of St. Anastasius securely, but the Jews, who had been appointed by the Persians, to torture & kill him, refused; the Christians of a village nearby bribed the prison guards for his sacred remains, finding it unmolested by the dogs, unlike the bodies of others around it, & interred them in the monastery of St. Sergius; his relics were later translated to Judaea, & thereafter to Rome, where it was found to expel demons from the possessed & to heal; 

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF BETHLEHEM, Or Nossa Senhora da Belem, Jan. 22: This is a day marked on Marian Calendars, but, again, no specific information as to the Whys & the Whereofs; one website suggests a link with the Milk Grotto in Bethlehem, which is a network of three caves where the Holy Family had sheltered, when an angel of God warned St. Joseph to flee with Mother Mary & the Child Jesus Christ, to Egypt, to escape the malice of Herod the Usurper, it is said that Mother Mary was breastfeeding our Lord & God Jesus Christ, when St. Joseph conveyed this message, &, in her haste, a drop of her milk fell from Baby Jesus' mouth onto the floor, turning the entire floor white; I personally believe that there is most probably a connection of the invocation of "Our Lady of Bethlehem," with the Milk Grotto, but again, I haven't been able to find it; 

Feast of the Translation of St. Valerius, Bishop of Saragosa, who, suffering from a stammer, had made St. Vincent his deacon with authority to preach in his stead, from Valencia, to Saragosa or Zaragoza; his Dies Natalis & liturgical feast, is Jan. 29; 

The Holy Martyrs of Puigcerda, Saints Vincent, Orontius, & Victor, who were crowned with martyrdom in the persecution of Diocletianus, their relics were enshrined at Embrun; 

St. Dominic, Benedictine monk & reformer, then hermit, wherever he fled to live the eremitical lifestyle, imitators flocked around him so that he was compelled to gather them in into monasteries, founding, & governing 10 of these monasteries as Abbot, the last being named for him, at Sora, wonderworker or thaumaturge; 

St. Gaudentius, Bishop of Novara, Confessor; 

St. Wendreda, or Wendreth, Virgin, English princess, nun, healer & wonderworker or thaumaturge, founder & Abbess of St. Wendreth's at March, in the Isle of Ely, the daughter of the Christian King Anna of the Kingdom of the East Angles, sister of Saints Etheldreda (feast June 23), abbess of Ely, Sexburgha (feast July 6), abbess of Minster-in-Sheppey, Ethelburga (feast July 7), abbess of Faremoutiers, & half-sister of St. Sæthryth (feast Jan. 10), also an abbess of Faremoutiers, & St. Withburga (feast March 7), abbess of Dereham; her monastery at March has vanished, most probably due to being sacked & destroyed by the Vikings & Danes, leaving only the Church, now a Henrican Demonarium; 

NON-MARTYRS NOT YET CANONIZED BY A CATHOLIC POPE: According to Catholic Theology, Martyrs who died in the unity of the Church, do not need Canonization but those who did not die as Martyrs, need it: 

Vincent Palloti, died Jan. 22, 1850; 

William Joseph Chaminade, born at Perigueux in the province of Perigord, April 8, 1761 A.D.,  died at Bordeaux, Jan. 22, 1850; not yet canonized by a Catholic Pope;
