medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Erik,
I'm sorry, but being hopelessly obtuse I fail to take your meaning about saints of today and tomorrow. Could you perhaps be more direct?
As I manage to say at least once a year (most recently, on 24. September 2009) these selective "saints of the day" notices ordinarily follow the calendrical order of the latest edition of the Roman Martyrology (RM; in deference to others writing on this list I usually manage to suppress my personal preference for the Latin title _Martyrologium Romanum_ and the abbreviation 'MR'). But exceptions are often made for saints now and sometimes always not entered in RM.
In practice, my usual source for the "latest edition" of the RM is the web-based Italian-language translation made available on-line by the Parrocchia San Giovanni Apostolo at Marotta (PU) in the Marche. That is a translation of the RM's revision of 2001 that does not reflect further changes made in 2004. Those changes are mostly commemorations new to the RM; some of the latter are nonetheless included in my "saints of the day" notices.
Best,
John Dillon
