THE 9/11 TWIN MARTYRS OF 1624

Today's date numerology

2+0+2+1 + 9 + 19 = 33
2+0+2+1 + 9 + 1+9 = 24

reminds us about September 11, 1624, a day two Swedish crypto catholics and jesuits chose to be executed on Riddarholmen, Stockholm:

1+6+2+4 + 9 + 11 = 33
1+6+2+4 + 9 + 1+1 = 24

"Zackarias Anthelius, born around 1583 in Sollefteå, died 11 September 1624 in Stockholm, was a Swedish Member of Parliament, mayor and, as sentenced to death for his faith, by Catholics seen as a Catholic martyr."

Jesuitorden i Norden, 1983:

"The letter to the cardinals reveals, more than the other letters in vocabulary and sentence structure, a good knowledge of the solemn Latin letter style, and this pending the martyrdom which they both anticipated with full-fledged presence of mind."

"We thank the whole Society of Jesus for the sacred teaching. I, Zacharias Anthelius, especially thank my in Christ revered patre Römer in the College of Graz and all the High Priests in the College in Olmütz.

I Georg Ursinus, thank you especially my in Christ revered Alexander Spinäus, at that time in the college in Ingolstadt, and all the other teachers from the Jesuit order, who led us into the holy Catholic faith ...

We are dying now, it is our desire and will, for Christ our Lord and for the holy Catholic Church. Its founder may be gracious to us poor sinners. Well, esteemed patres, do not tire of working for the salvation of souls, do not tire of caring for our countrymen ..."
