On Mount Cassino, St. Scholastica, a virgin, whose soul her brother, St. Benedict of Nursia, the abbot, saw leaving her body in the form of a dove, and ascending to Heaven.

At Rome, the holy martyrs Zoticus, Irenaeus, Hyacinthus, and Amantius.

In the same place, on the Lavican road, ten holy soldiers, martyrs.

Also at Rome, on the Appian way, St. Soteres, virgin and martyr, who was descended of a noble race, as St. Ambrose testifies, but for the love of Christ set at naught the consular and other dignities of her family. On her refusal to sacrifice to the gods, she was for a long time cruelly buffeted. After she had overcome various other torments, she was struck with the sword, and joyfully went to her Heavenly spouse.

In Campania, St. Silvanus, bishop and confessor.

At Maleval, in the diocese of Siena, St. William, a hermit.

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 ...

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 ...
