ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:

St. John of Matha, confessor, co-founder, with  St. Felix of Valois, of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity, for the redemption of captives, who reposed in the Lord on Dec. 17; the Whore Church of Roman Protestantism, of the Great Modernist Apostasy, has impotently, unauthorisedly & ineffectually pretended to transfer his liturgical feast to Dec. 17, which cannot be observed without Grave affront to the Divine Majesty, a Mortal Sin! (Link)

In the Lesser Armenia, the birthday of the holy martyrs Denis, Emilian and Sebastian.

At Alexandria, under the emperor Decius, the martyr St. Cointha, whom the Pagans seized, led to the idols and urged to adore them. As she refused with horror, they put her feet in chains, and dragged her through the streets of the city, mangling her body in a barbarous manner.

At Constantinople, the birthday of the holy martyrs, monks of the monastery of Dius, who, bringing the letter of Pope St. Felix against Acacius, were barbarously killed for their defense of the Catholic faith.

In Persia, in the time of king Cabades (apparently Shah Kavad I, son of Shah Peroz I, but may also have been Shah Kavad II), the commemoration of the holy martyrs, who were put to death by various kinds of torments on account of their faith in Christ.

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 ...
