Prídie Kaléndas Iúlii Luna prima Anno Dómini 2022
On the morrow we make commemoration of the holy Apostle Paul.
June 30th 2022, the 1st day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Limoges, in Gaul,
[in the first century,] holy Martial, first Bishop [of that see,] and
the two Priests Alpinian and Austriclinian, whose lives shone brightly
with the fame of miracles.
On the same day, [at Talca, in Spain,] the holy [martyrs, the] Priest Caius and the Sub-Deacon Leo.
At Alexandria, under
the Emperor Severus, the holy martyr Basilides. He led the holy Virgin
Potamicena to execution, and while doing so, protected her from the
insults of some lewd man, and he received a reward from her for this
reverential service. Three days afterwards she appeared to him and put a
crown upon his head, by the which vision she not only turned him to
Christ, but also by her prayers, while he fought his short fight, she
made him a glorious martyr.
At Rome, holy Lucina, a
disciple of the Apostles, who contributed of her goods to the
necessities of the Saints, visited the Christians who were kept bound in
prison, and ministered to the burial of the martyrs, beside whom she
was buried in a vault which she made for herself.
Also at Rome, [in the fourth century,] the holy Virgin Aemiliana.
At Viviers, the holy Priest and Confessor Ostian.
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.
