June 10th anno Domini 2018 The 26th Day of the Moon were born into the better life:
In Scotland, the holy Queen Margaret, famous for her love for the poor and her voluntary poverty.
At Rome, upon the Salarian Way, the blessed Getulius, a man of great eminence and learning, and his Companions Cerealis, Amantius, and Primitivus. At the command of the Emperor Hadrian they were tortured by Licinius the Consular first hided, then thrust into prison, lastly committed to the flames, but as the fire would nowise hurt them, their heads were beaten in with clubs, and so they finished their testimony. Sympharosa, the wife of blessed Getulius, gathered their bodies together and honourably buried them in a sand-pit upon her own farm.
Also at Rome, upon the Aurelian Way, holy Basilides, Tripodes, Mandales, and twenty other martyrs, who suffered under the Emperor Aurelian and Plato, the Prefect of the city.
At Nicomedia, the holy martyr Zacharia.
In the dominions of Prusias, in Bithynia, [in the fourth century,] holy Timothy, Bishop [there,] martyr under Julian the Apostate.
In Spain, the holy martyrs Crispulus and Restitutus.
In Africa, the holy martyrs Aresius, Rogatus, and fifteen others.
At Cologne, the holy martyr the Abbot Maurinus.
At Petra, in Arabia, the holy Asterius, Bishop [of that see,] who, for the Catholic faith's sake, suffered many things of the Arians, and by the Emperor Constantius was banished into Africa and died a glorious Confessor.
At Naples, in Campania, the holy martyr Maximus, Bishop [of that see,] who was banished by the same Emperor Constantius for his unshaken confession of the Nicene faith, and there died worn out by suffering.
At Auxerre, [early in the sixth century,] holy Censurius, Bishop [of that see.]
V. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
