THE ROMAN MARTYROLOGY

The Thirty-First Day of October

1. At Rome, SS. Ampliatus, Urban and Narcissus, of whom St. Paul makes mention in writing to the Romans: who were slain by Jews and Gentiles for the Gospel of Christ.
2. At Constantinople, St. Stachys, Bishop, who was ordained first bishop of that city by blessed Andrew the Apostle.
3. In France, at St. Quentin in Vermandois, St. Quentin, a Roman citizen of senatorial rank, who suffered martyrdom under the Emperor Maximian. His body, after fifty-five years, was found uncorrupted, by the revelation of an angel.
4. At Milan, St. Antonine, Bishop and Confessor.
5. At Ratisbon in Bavaria, St. Wolfgang, Bishop.
6. At Palma in Majorca, St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, Confessor, lay--brother of the Society of Jesus, famous for his humility and his unceasing love of mortification, whom Pope Leo XIII added to the roll of the saints.
7. At Rome, the translation of blessed Nemesius, Deacon, and his daughter, the Virgin Lucilla, who were beheaded on August 25.

And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors and holy virgins. Thanks be to God.
