We recently published Photographs of a Mass Celebrated by Fr Dimitri Artifoni, FSSP, on The Feast of The Exaltation of The Holy Cross, 14 September 2018, his first Solemn Mass Celebrated in his native City of Bergamo, Northern Italy, after his Ordination in June 2018.

A video of the complete Mass was published, recently, which I know our Rreaders will enjoy, both for the beautiful Ceremony, but also for the Music, which is especially good, with Chant, Polyphony and Instruments. (For the majority of our Readers who do not speak Italian, and will wish to skip over The Sermon, it runs from 23:30 to 48:30.)

"In Lower Syria,", says The Martyrology, "The Holy Martyrs, Sergius, and Bacchus, noble Romans, who lived under the Emperor Maximian".

Bacchus was scourged with thongs that tore his flesh; he died, in his torments, Confessing The Name of Jesus.

Sergius, forced to wear shoes with nails piercing his feet, remained strong in The Faith and was then beheaded.

At Rome, The Holy Martyrs, Marcellus and Apuleius, abandoned Simon the Magician, whose disciples they had been, to follow the teaching of Saint Peter. After The Martyrdom of The Apostles, they themselves obtained the same Crown under the ex-Consul, Aurelian, and were buried near Rome.

Mass: Sapiéntiam.

Pope Mark (Latin: Marcus) was Head of The Catholic Church from 18 January 336 A.D. to
7 October 336 A.D.

Little is known of his early life. According to The Liber Pontificalis, he was a Roman, and his father's name was Priscus. Some evidence suggests that the Early Lists of Bishops and Martyrs, known as The Depositio Episcoporum and Depositio Martyrum, were begun during his Pontificate.

Per The Liber Pontificalis, Pope Mark issued a Constitution investing the Bishop of Ostia with a Pallium and confirming his power to Consecrate newly-elected Popes. Also per The Liber Pontificalis, Pope Mark is credited with the Foundation of the Basilica of San Marco, in Rome, and a Cemetery Church over the Catacomb of Balbina, just outside the City, on lands obtained as a donation from Emperor Constantine.

Mark died of natural causes and was buried in the Catacomb of Balbina. In 1048, his remains were removed to the Town of Velletri, and, from 1145, were relocated to the Basilica of San Marco, in Rome, where they are kept in an urn under the Altar. His Feast Day is celebrated on 7 October.

The following Text is from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal.

Mark, a Roman, occupied The Holy See for eight months during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great.

He succeeded Pope Saint Sylvester and continued, with great zeal, the organisation of The Church that had been commenced by his predecessor, Pope Sylvester I, thanks to the long era of peace inaugurated by the Emperor. He died in 336 A.D.

This year marks the 804th Anniversary

of the Revelation of The Holy Rosary, by Our Lady Mary,

to Saint Dominic, in 1214.

The following Text is taken from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

There are differing views on the history of The Rosary. According to Tradition, the concept of The Rosary was given to Saint Dominic in an apparition by The Virgin Mary, in 1214, in the Church of Prouille.

This Marian apparition received the Title of Our Lady of The Rosary. In the 15th-Century, it was promoted by Alanus de Rupe (also known as Alain de la Roche or Saint Alan of the Rock), a Learned Dominican Priest and Theologian, who established the "Fifteen Rosary Promises" and started many Rosary Confraternities. However, most scholarly research suggests a more gradual and organic development of The Rosary.

The practice of Meditation, during the Praying of The Hail Marys, is attributed to Dominic of Prussia (1382–1460), a Carthusian Monk, who called it the "Life of Jesus Rosary". The German Monk, from Trier, added a sentence to each of the fifty Hail Marys, using quotes from Scriptures. In 1569, the Papal Bull Consueverunt Romani Pontifices, by the Dominican Pope Pius V, officially established the Devotion to The Rosary in The Catholic Church.

From the 16th- to the Early-20th-Century, the structure of The Rosary remained essentially unchanged. There were fifteen Mysteries, one for each of the fifteen Decades of The Rosary. In the 20th-Century, the addition of The Fatima Prayer, to the end of each Decade, became more common. There were no other changes until 2002, when Pope Saint John Paul II instituted five optional new Luminous Mysteries.

[Editor: The Fatima Prayer: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from The Fires of Hell, and
lead all Souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Your Mercy". (Our Lady at Fatima,
13 July 1917)]

Our Lady Of The Rosary. Feast Day 7 October.

Mary, Mother of Grace and of Mercy,

help me against the efforts of my enemies.
