June 7th anno Domini 2018 The 23rd Day of the Moon
The Octave of the most Sacred Body of Christ.
On the seventh day of June, were born into the better life:
At Constantinople, the holy Paul, Archbishop of that city. He was oftentimes thrust out by the Arians because of the Catholic faith, and brought back again by the holy Roman Pontiff, Julius I. At length he was banished by the Arian Emperor Constantius to Cucusus, a little town in Cappadocia, where he was cruelly strangled by Arian plotters, and so passed into the kingdom of heaven. His body was brought to Constantinople with great reverence [thirty years later,] in the time of the Emperor Theodosius.
In Egypt, the holy martyr Licarion, who was mangled, beaten with red-hot iron rods, and suffered other dreadful torments before he was smitten with the sword, and so finished his testimony.
At Cordova, the holy Monks Peter, Wallabond, Sabinian, Wistremund, Habentius, and Jeremiah, of whom Peter was a Priest and Wallabond a 1154,] the holy Confessor William, Deacon, martyrs [under the Muslims.] Archbishop [of that see,].
In England, the holy Abbot Robert, of the Cistercian Order. His grave did raise three dead men to life, and who was written in the list of the Saints by Pope Honorius.
At Aix, in Gaul, holy Maximin, first Bishop of that city.
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.
