Dan 9:21-24 Dan 9:21-24
21 Adhuc me loquente in oratione, ecce vir Gabriel, quem videram in visione a principio, cito volans tetigit me in tempore sacrificii vespertini, 21 As I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Et docuit me, et locutus est mihi, dixitque: Daniel, nunc egressus sum ut docerem te, et intelligeres, 22 And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand.

26 Et post hebdomades sexaginta duas occidetur Christus: et non erit eius populus qui eum negaturus est, et civitatem et sanctuarium dissipabit populus cum duce venturo: et finis eius vastitas, et post finem belli statuta desolatio. 26 And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation.

Gregórius, Neocæsaréæ Ponti epíscopus, sanctitáte doctrináque illústris, signis vero ac miráculis multo illústrior, quorum multitúdine atque præstántia Thaumatúrgus appellátus est, et sancti Basilíi testimónio cum Móyse, Prophétis et Apóstolis comparátus; montem, qui ecclésiæ ædificatiónem impediébat, oratióne alio tránstulit. Item palúdem, inter fratres causam discordiárum, exsiccávit. Lycum flúvium, pernicióse agros inundántem, defíxo ad ripam quo sustentabátur báculo, qui statim viréntem crevit in árborem, coércuit, ut póstea ultra eum términum non efflúxerit. Sæpíssime dæmones ex idolórum simulácris atque ex hóminum corpóribus eiécit, múltaque ália mirabíliter effécit, quibus innumerábiles hómines traxit ad Iesu Christi fidem, cum étiam prophético spíritu futúra prædíceret. Qui, migratúrus e vita, cum quæsísset quot in civitáte Neocæsariénsi réliqui essent infidéles, responsúmque esset tantum esse septémdecim; Deo grátias agens, Tótidem, inquit, erant fidéles, cum cœpi episcopátum. Plura scripsit, quibus étiam, non solum miráculis, Dei Ecclésiam illustrávit. Gregory, bishop of Neocesarea in Pontus, was famous for his holiness and learning, but still most famous for his signs and miracles. These were so numerous and outstanding that he was called Thaumaturgus, the Wonderworker. St. Basil compares him to Moses, the Prophets and the Apostles. By his prayer he changed the location of a mountain which was obstructing the building of a church. He dried up a swamp which was a cause of discord between two brothers. When the river Lycus was destructively flooding the fields, he drove his staff into the bank, where it grew into a green tree; and he compelled the river never afterwards to go beyond that spot. He very frequently cast out demons from the images of idols and from the bodies of men, and did many other wonderful things by which innumerable men were drawn to the faith of Jesus Christ. He also had the prophetic spirit of predicting future events. When he was about to depart this life, he asked how many unbelievers still remained in the city of Neocaesarea..When he was told that there were only seventeen, he thanked God and said, "There was just that number of believers when I became bishop." His many writings, as well as his miracles, enlightened the Church of God

Quartodecimo Kalendas Decembris Luna decima Anno 2018 Domini November 18th anno Domini 2018 The 10th Day of Moon is kept the feast of the Dedication of the two Cathedral Churches of St Peter and of St Paul at Rome. The Church of St Peter, after being rebuilt on a larger scale, was solemnly consecrated by Urban VIII. upon the 18th day of November (in the year 1626.) The Church of St Paul had been almost entirely destroyed by a lamentable fire, and was rebuilt in a more splendid manner, and consecrated anew by Pius IX. upon the 10th day of December but he transferred the yearly feast of the Dedication thereof to the same day as that of the Church of St Peter.
Upon the same 18th day of November, were born into the better life

Antiochiae natalis sancti Romani Martyris, qui, tempore Galerii Imperatoris, cum Asclepiades Praefectus in Ecclesiam irrumperet eamque funditus conaretur evertere, ceteros Christianos hortatus est ut ei contradicerent, ideoque, post dira tormenta et abscissionem linguae (sine qua tamen Dei praeconia loquebatur), in carcere strangulatus laqueo, celebri martyrio coronatur. Passus est etiam ante ipsum puerulus, nomine Barula, qui, cum fuisset ab eodem interrogatus Praefecto utrum melius esset unum Deum colere an plures deos, atque in unum Deum, quem Christiani colunt, credendum esse respondisset, propterea, verberibus csesus, iussus est decollari. At Antioch, the holy martyr Romanus. In the time of the Emperor Galerius, when the Prefect Asclepiades was assailing the Church and seeking utterly to overthrow it, Romanus exhorted the other Christians to gainsay him. For this cause he was put to horrid torments, and his tongue was cut out but thereafter he still uttered the praise of God. Then he was strangled in prison, and so was crowned by a famous martyrdom.
Item Antiochiae sancti Hesychii Martyris, qui, cum esset miles, et praeceptum audisset ut quisquis non sacrificaret idolis, cingulum militiae deponeret, repente cingulum solvit; ob quam causam, ingenti saxo in dextera eius ligato, in fluvium praecipitari iussus est. Before him there suffered also the little lad Barula, who was asked by Romanus whether it were better to worship one God or many gods, and answered that we ought to believe in the one God whom the Christians worship for the saying of the which thing he was first flogged and then beheaded.
Eodem die sanctorum Oriculi et Sociorum, qui, in persecutione Wandalica, pro fide catholica passi sunt. Likewise at Antioch, (about the year 304,) the holy martyr Hesychius. He was a soldier, but when he heard the command that whosoever would not sacrifice to idols should cast away his military belt, he straightway took off his belt, for which cause a large stone was tied to his right hand, and he was thrown into the river.
Moguntiae sancti Maximi Episcopi, qui, tempore Constantii multa passus ab Arianis, Confessor occubuit. On the same day, (in the fifth century,) the holy martyrs Oriculus and his Companions, who suffered for the Catholic faith in the persecution under the Vandals.

Antiochiae sancti Thomae Monachi, quem Antiocheni, ob sedatam eius precibus pestem, solemnitate annua coluerunt. At Tours, (in the year 942,) blessed Odo, Abbat of Cluny.
Lucae, in Tuscia, Translatio sancti Frigdiani, Episcopi et Confessoris. At Antioch, (about the year 782,) the holy monk Thomas, in whose honour the Antiochenes keep a solemn feast-day every year on account of a plague which was stayed by his prayers.
