Οἱ Ἅγιοι Πεύσιππος, Ἐλάσιππος καὶ Μέσιππος οἱ Μάρτυρες οἱ αὐτάδελφοι
Ἡ Ἁγία Νεονίλλη ἡ Μάρτυς
殉道者祖孙四人
斯佩弗西普、艾勒弗西普、麦勒弗西普是三胞胎兄弟,他们为了基督的缘故在高卢忍受了磨难,当时正是皇帝玛尔克•奥勒利乌斯统治期间(公元161-180年)。起初,这三兄弟是异教徒,只有他们的祖母莱奥尼拉才是基督徒。在虔诚的祖母和当地司祭长时间的教导之下,这三位兄弟接受了浸礼。皈依之后,充满热情的少年们开始过着投身正信的生活,并将附近的偶像全部捣毁。由此,他们三兄弟遭受指控,并被带到法庭前,他们对自己的作为直言不讳,公开表白了他们的信仰。审判官将兄弟三人投入监狱,并传唤他们的祖母莱奥尼拉。他们指令莱奥尼拉去监狱,说服她的孙子们否认基督信仰,敬拜偶像。莱奥尼拉没说一句话,去了监狱,她非但没有劝说她的孙子们否认正确的信仰,相反鼓励他们要坚持正信,不要动摇,应该至死忍耐所有酷刑,为基督的缘故不惜身命。当审判官再次讯问他们时发现,他们的信仰更加坚定了,于是审判官将他们判处死刑。异教徒们先将三兄弟象三弦琴的弦一样绷在树间,之后又鞭打他们,最后将他们生焚于烈火。一个名叫约维拉的妇女被三兄弟殉道的勇气所感动,大声喊说:“我也是一名基督徒!”这名妇女立即遭到逮捕,与年迈的莱奥尼拉同被斩首。

Ὁ Ὅσιος Ρωμύλος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ
Νέστορας, Μαρτῖνος, Δανιήλ, Σισώη, Ζωσιμὰς καὶ Γρηγόριος
可敬的罗弥勒
罗弥勒出生于维丁。他是西奈的圣格列高利的门徒。罗弥勒曾在几个修道院中修行。君士坦丁•卡姆布拉克曾是他在拉伐尼卡修道院(位于塞尔维亚)的同修。圣罗弥勒约于公元1375年在拉伐尼卡修道院安息归主。
Even after his death, Saint Romilus performed great miracles, casting out demons, and healing all sorts of diseases and suffering. Through his holy prayers, may we obtain the forgiveness of our sins and great mercy from Christ our God, to Whom is due all glory, honor and worship, together with His unoriginate Father, and the Most Holy, good, and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Δαμασκηνὸς ὁ Ἱερομάρτυρας
加布罗沃的殉道者,可敬的达玛斯基诺
达玛斯基诺起初在阿托斯圣山的希兰达尔修道院潜心修行,后来成了这所修道院的院长。当达玛斯基诺追讨一些土耳其人拖欠修道院的债务时,这些土耳其人却说服一名穆斯林妇女进入他居住的屋子。之后,这些土耳其人来到圣者的居所,“发现了”这名妇女,便以诱拐妇女的罪名将达玛斯基诺带到穆斯林民事法官面前,这个法官给了他两个选择:要么被吊死;要么皈依伊斯兰教。达玛斯基诺毫不犹豫地回答说:“如果我为了此世短暂的生命而出卖永生,那将是多么地愚痴啊!”达玛斯基诺于公元1771年在斯维什托夫被吊死。达玛斯基诺牺牲了自己的肉躯以拯救自己的灵魂。上帝的报应随即临到这些谋害他的人身上,当他们划船渡多瑙河时,河上刮起了一阵暴风,覆没了渡船,所有参与诬蔑和杀害圣者的人都淹死在了河里。
However, following the death of the Saint, divine justice avenged those iniquitous manslayers. As they were crossing the Danube River, they drowned in its currents and received as retribution everlasting damnation. May we be delivered from such an end and be made worthy of the Kingdom Of The Heavens, through the intercessions of the Holy Hieromartyr Damaskenos. Amen.

• DUNCHAID O'Braoin (988) Abbot of Clonmacnoise, Ireland
Born in Westmeath; died at Armagh, 988. Saint Dunchaid was an anchorite until 969, when he was chosen abbot of Clonmacnoise Monastery. In his old age he retired to Armagh, where he died.
• FERREOLUS (also known as Fergéol) bishop of Grenoble (670) France
• FULGENTIUS of Ecija (633)
Brother of Saints Isidore of Seville, Leander, and Florentina, Saint Fulgentius was bishop of Ecija, Andalusia, Spain, and one of the leaders of the Spanish Church at that time. He is often confused with Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe. In art, Saint Fulgentius is likely to be shown with his brothers and sister.
• Abbot FURSEY (also known as Fursa of Pérrone) 福尔赛 of Burgh Castle, enlightener of East Anglia and Langy, Abbot of Burgh Castle, and Peronne Monastery in France (648) the best known of the Irish monastic missioners abroad in the earlier middle ages, Pilgrim For Christ
Saint Fursey was an Irish monk who had various visions of heaven and hell. He spent some years evangelising in Ireland. He then went, with his two brothers St Foillan and St Ultan to evangelise East Anglia in the 630’s. This makes him the first recorded Anglo-Saxon missionary, even before St Aidan. He heard the angels singing the "Holy, Holy, Holy" in Heaven. His relics are to be found in Amiens cathedral.
Son of an Irish prince. Related to Saint Foillan and Saint Ultan of Péronne. Educated by Saint Brendan the Voyager. Priest. Abbot of a house at Rathmat, Ireland.

Raised the young son of a court nobleman from the dead. Given to ecstacies and trances during which he received visions of a immense struggle between good and evil, with glimpses of heaven and hell. The visions were described in the aptly named Visions of Fursey, and had a great effect on such works as Dante's Divine Comedy. Bede wrote extensively and glowingly of Fursey. His image is on the banner of the city of Peronne, France.

• Sainted HONORATUS (also known as Honore) 奥诺拉特 archbishop of Arles and founder of Lérins Abbey (350-429)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ὀνωρᾶτος Ἀρχιεπίσκοπος Ἀρελάτης
The saint depleted his youthful vigor through fasting and asceticism, and so "the powers of the body made way for the power of the spirit." Though in poor health, he managed to follow the same rule of fasting and keeping vigil as those who were younger and stronger than he. He would visit the sick when he was even sicker than they were, offering consolation for body and soul. Then, fearing he had not done enough for them, he would review each case in his mind to determine how he could ease their suffering. Adorned with virtues, Saint Honoratus treated a variety of spiritual diseases, freeing many from their enslavement to vice. His insight into each person’s character enabled him to apply the appropriate remedies for restoring souls to spiritual health.

• Veneration of the Precious Chains (Shackles) of the Holy and All-Glorious Foremost PETER 彼得 (Simon, Cephas) the Apostle (67) of the Twelve Apostles
Ἡ προσκύνησις τῆς Τιμίας ἁλύσεως τοῦ Ἁγίου καὶ ἐνδόξου Ἀποστόλου Πέτρου
敬礼圣裴特若之锁链
今天我们纪念圣裴特若,特别敬礼圣裴特若籍之被暴君伊若德捆绑,而当天使出现在身处监牢的裴特若面前时自动脱落的锁链。“忽然有主的一位使者,站在旁边,屋里有光照耀。天使拍裴特若的肋旁,拍醒了他,说:‘快快起来。’那铁链就从他手上脱落了下来”(使徒行实/徒/宗12:7)。后来这个铁链被基督徒们珍藏,是为了对圣使徒的纪念,也是因为这个铁链有治愈疾病的能力,因为许多病人在触摸了这个铁链之后就痊愈了。同样,圣帕弗罗的毛巾一样有很大的能力:“甚至有人从帕弗罗身上拿毛巾,或围裙,放在病人身上,病就退了,恶鬼也出去了”(使徒行实/徒/宗19:12)。耶路撒冷牧首圣犹文纳里将此圣铁链赠送给艾弗多西亚,也就是皇帝小德奥多西被废放逐的皇后。艾弗多西亚皇后将铁链分成两半,将其中的一半送给了位于君士坦丁堡的圣使徒教堂;将另一半送给了她在罗马的女儿艾弗多克西亚,也即瓦伦提尼安皇帝的妻子。艾弗多克西亚修建了圣裴特若教堂,并将此半份铁链连同圣裴特若最终在暴君尼禄手下殉道前所负的铁链一起奉安于此堂。
Saint Peter is commemorated on this day because of the chains by which he was shackled by the lawless Herod and which during the appearance of an angel in prison fell from him, "Suddenly the angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, "Get up quickly." The chains fell from his wrists" (Acts of the Apostles 12:7). The chains were preserved by Christians as much for the memory of this great apostle as well as for their healing power, for many of the sick were healed by touching them as well as with the towel of the Apostle Paul, "then when the face cloths or aprons that touched his skin were applied to the sick, their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them" (Acts of the Apostles 19:12). St. Juvenal, the Patriarch of Jerusalem gave these chains as a gift to the Empress Eudocia, the exiled wife of the Emperor Theodosius the Younger. She divided them into two and sent one half to the Church of the Holy Apostle in Constantinople and the other half to her daughter Empress Eudoxia in Rome, the wife of Valentian. Eudoxia built the Church of St Peter and deposited these chains in it, together with those chains with which Peter was shackled before his death under Emperor Nero. The chains which fell from his hands were collected by Christians and passed down through the generations as precious relics, finally coming to Constantinople and being placed in the Church of St Peter, where they worked many miracles and healings.
There is nothing superstitious about the veneration of clothing and other objects belonging to the Saints; the Acts of the Apostles describes how handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched the Apostle Paul would heal the sick (ch. 19), and that even the shadow of the Apostle Peter healed those on whom it fell (ch. 5). In the twentieth century, a shirt worn by St Nektarios on his death-bed healed a paralyzed man. The sanctity of those united to God extends not only to their bodies but at times to their garments.
• PRISCILLA (also known as Prisca) a Matron (98) who hosted St Peter
Saint Priscilla, was the widow of Mancius Aeilius Glabrio, who was executed by Domitian most likely because he was a Christian. She was probably the mother of Saint Pudens, the senator. Tradition has it that she was the Roman hostess to Saint Peter, who used her home on Via Salaria as his headquarters in Rome. The catacomb of Priscilla under her home was named after her.
• SOPHIA a W., Nun at Jerusalem (4th c.)
• Martyr SIGEBERT 西格博尔特 King of the East Angles (635)
While exiled from East Anglia to France during the reign of King Redwald, Sigeberht converted to Christianity. He returned to East Anglia as king in 630, the first Christian king of the region. Worked with Archbishop Honorius of Canterbury and Saint Fursey to bring Christianity to his subjects. Helped found churches, schools and monasteries. After a short reign, he abdicated in favour of Ecgric and retired to become a monk. When Mercia invaded East Anglia, Sigeberht was taken against his will from his monastery to the battle field in hopes that he would rally the army; he refused to carry a weapon or fight, and was killed by the pagan King Penda of Mercia. Venerated in East Anglia as a martyr.
• TATIAN (also known as Titian) (650) for 30 years Saint Tatian was a bishop in the neighborhood of Venice. The seat of his bishopric (Opitergium or Oderzo) has since been destroyed
Born to the Italian nobility. Educated by Bishop Floriano of Oderzo, Italy. Priest. Treasurer of the diocese of Oderzo. Noted for his charity. When Floriano was assigned to another diocese, Titian was chosen by popular acclaim as the reluctant new bishop of Oderzo; he tried to get Floriano to return, but eventually took over the see.

• Sainted TOZZO Bishop of Augsburg (778)
• VALERIUS of Sorrento (453) another of the hermit saints called by God and His people to another life; taken from his solitude by the people of Sorrento, he became bishop of Sorrento, Italy
Hermit for many years near Sorrento, Italy. Reluctant bishop of Sorrento, chosen by the people of that city due to his wisdom and piety.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
