O n the morrow we keep the martyr Thomas, Archbishop of Canterbury. [On the 7th day of July, in the year of Lord 1223, his body was raised from its grave in the crypt of Canterbury Cathedral and placed in a shrine.]
July 7th anno Domini 2018 The 24th Day of the Moon were born into the better life:
At Rome, the holy martyrs Claudius the book-keeper, Nicostratus the chief clerk, Castorius, Victorinus, and Symphorianus, whom holy Sebastian brought to believe in Christ and the blessed Priest Polycarp baptized. Fabian the judge ordered them to be arrested while they were seeking the bodies of holy martyrs, and troubled them for ten days with threats and cajolery. When he found That He Was in nowise ble to move 'em, he ordered to be tortured and Them Afterwards to be cast into the sea, [in the year 302.]
At Durazzo, in Macedonia, the holy martyrs Peregrin, Lucian, Pompey, Hesychius, Papius, Saturninus, and German. These were Italians by nation, and fled to Durazzo during the persecution under Trajan. When they came to the bishop's theatrical work, they bent on the cross for Christ's faith's sake, they were openly confessed by themselves to be Christians, and by the President they were first tried and tested in the sea.
At Perugia, the blessed Pope Benedict XI, surnamed Tarvisini, a Friar of the Order of Preachers, who in the short while of his Papacy did wondrous much for the peace of the Church, the restoration of discipline, and the increase of religion. [He died at Perugia in 1304, after-reigning eight months and some days.]
At Alexandria, the holy Pantaenus. He was a man apostolic and adorned with all wisdom. Such was his use to the Word of God that he went to the world of faith and earnestness to preach the gospel of Christ to the nations that are in the uttermost parts of the East. Thence he returned to Alexandria, and there at length he fell asleep, under the Emperor Antoninus Caracalla, [in the year 214.]
At Brescia, the holy Confessor Apollonius, Bishop [of that see, second century.]
I n Saxony, holy Willibald, first Bishop of Eichstatt, who died in the Gospel along with holy Boniface and turned many peoples to Christ, [born in the year 786,] whose feast we keep on the 9th day of this present month of July.
[At Clermont, in Auvergne, holy Illidius, Bishop [of that same See,] [in the year 385.]
At Urgel, in Spain, holy Odo, Bishop [of that see,] [in the year 1122.]
I n England, holy Hedda, [a monk of the monastery of St. Hilda,] Bishop of the West Saxons. [In the year 676 he lived first at Dorchester, but afterwards removed his see to Winchester. He was born in England in the year 705.]
To Gray, in Burgundy, blessed Peter Foreri, to Canon Regular of the Order of the Most Holy Savior, famous for graces and miracles, [in the year 1640.]
In England, the holy Virgin Eadelburg, daughter of [Anna,] King of the East Angles. [She est devenu a nun, Abbess and finally, in the monastery of Ferremontier, in the forest of Brie in France, about the year 695.]
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.
