Menology Entry for January 8:

Feast of Our Lady of Quick Help or of Prompt Succor, in French, Notre Dame du Prompt Secours, commemorating the American victory over the English in the Battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1815 A.D.; Pope Pius IX authorised the public devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under this title, Sept. 21, 1851, & designated Jan. 8 as its feast day; Pope Leo XIII granted a Pontifical decree of Canonical Coronation, June 21, 1894 which coronation was executed by Archbishop Francis August Janssens, Nov. 10, 1895; 

Our Lady of Piety (Nossa Senhora da Piedade), in aspiratione; the feast of Our Lady of Piety was originated by a provincial synod of Cologne in 1423 A.D., as a response to the impieties of the Hussite iconoclasts, designated for the Friday after the third Sunday after Easter, under the title of Commemoratio angustiae et doloris Beatae Mariae Virginis; 

The Holy Martyrs of Beauvais, in France, Saints Lucianus, priest, Maximianus & Julianus; the last two were killed with the sword by the persecutors, but blessed Lucianus, who had come to France with St. Denis, not fearing, after the slaughter of his companions, to confess the name of Christ openly, received the same sentence of death; 

The Holy Martyrs of Lybia, now the Arab SettlerColony called "Libya," Saints Theophilus, deacon, & Helladius, who, after being lacerated & cut with sharp pieces of earthenware, were cast into the fire, and rendered their souls to God; 

St. Eugenianus, Bishop of Autun, Martyr; he was made the 5th Bishop of Autun, according to St. Gregory of Tours, immediately after the death of Bishop St. Cassianus in 355 A.D., for his fierce defence of the Catholic faith against the heretical Arianism, he was martyred, Jan. 8, 374 A.D.; 

St. Apollinaris, Bishop of Hierapolis in the Roman province of Asia, in western Anatolia, who was conspicuous for sanctity & learning, under Emperor Marcus Antoninus Verus; 

St. Lawrence Justinianus, confessor, first patriarch of Venice, eminent for learning, & abundantly filled with the Heavenly gifts of divine wisdom, he was ranked among the Saints by Pope Alexander VIII & is again mentioned on Sept. 5; 

St. Maximus, Bishop of Pavia, Confessor.

St. Patiens, Bishop of Metz; 

St. Severinus, Bishop of Naples, in Campania, Martyr, brother to the blessed martyr Victorinus who, after working many miracles, went to rest, replenished with virtues & merits; it is said that this St. Severinus was actually the Bishop of Septempeda, now called San Severino, & that his actual feast is June 8, & that his feast was switched to Jan. 8 due to being confused with the Austrian St. Severinus; be that as it may, this is a question for the Catholic Church to clarify, not for the Whore Church; 

St. Severinus, hermit & monk, & Abbot, in Noricum, now Austria, who preached the Gospel in that country, & is called its Apostle, & died, as he had prophesied, Jan. 8, 482 A.D., his body was carried to Lucullanum, near Naples, & thence transferred to the monastery of St. Severinus, by his disciple St. Eugippius;

Exsurge Domine, et Liberal Nos A Malo! «Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua; et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum; et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in praecepto quod mandasti; et synagoga populorum circumdabit te: et propter hanc in altum regredere. Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me. Consumetur nequitia peccatorum; et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.  Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde. Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens; numquid irascitur per singulos dies? Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum. Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit. Ecce parturiit injustitiam; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.  Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum; et incidit in foveam quam fecit. Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet. Confitebor Domino secundum justitiam ejus, et ...

Menology Entry for December 16: (Crowned icon of Our Lady of the Raft). Our Lady of Almadia , Spanish, or  Madonna della Madia , Italian, for " Our Lady  of the Raft:" «Bishop Romuald  began work on a new Cathedral in the city of Monopoli in Apulia in Italy in 1107 A.D., but it was halted for the lack of roof beams. In the early morning of December 16, 1117 A.D., Our Lady thrice appeared to a parishioner Mercurius, at night, instructing him to advise Romuald that the needed wood beams had arrived in the harbor, & each time, Romuald dismissed Mercurius as deluded; a 4th time, Mercurius visited the harbor, & saw a raft floating, & once again rushed to Romuald, insisting that he had now himself seen the wood in the harbor. A Greek Icon of Our Lady was found on the raft. The raft beams were used to construct the roof.  In 1738, an endowment by Julius Sacchi, Bishop of Monopoli, enabled reconstruction; the old church was razed, & construction ...
