Undécimo Kaléndas Iúnii Luna secúnda Anno Dómini 2023
On the morrow we keep the feast of the holy Ubald, Bishop of Gubbio, who was famous for miracles, and of whom mention is made upon the 16th day of this same month of May.
May 22nd 2023, the 2nd day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, the holy martyrs Faustinus, Timothy, and Venustus.
In Africa, [at the beginning of the third century,] the holy martyrs Castus and Emilius, who finished their testimony by the suffering of fire; of them blessed Cyprian writeth that in the first skirmish they were conquered, but in the second battle the Lord made them conquerors, that they who had first yielded to the flames might become stronger than the flames.
In Corsica, [in the fifth century,] the holy Virgin [martyr] Julia, who endured the Cross, and so was crowned.
At Comana, in Pontus, the holy martyr Basiliscus, who obtained the glory of martyrdom under the Emperor Maximian and the President Agrippa. He was shod with iron boots pierced with fiery nails, and suffered many other things likewise, before his head was cut off and he was cast into the river.
In Spain, the holy Virgin martyr Quiteria.
At Ravenna, the holy Confessor Marcian, Bishop [of that see.]
In the country of Auxerre, the blessed Abbot Romanus, who ministered to holy Benedict when he was in the cave, and afterwards went into Gaul, where he built a monastery, and fell asleep in the Lord, leaving many heirs of his holiness.
At Aquino, [in the twelfth century,] the holy Confessor Fulco.
At Pistoja, in Tuscany, [also in the twelfth century,] the blessed Attho, monk of the Order of Valombrosa, [who became Bishop of Pistoja.]
At Auxerre, [in the fifth century,] the holy Virgin Helen.
At Cassia, in Umbria, [in the year 1456,] the blessed Rita, a widow, a nun of the Order of Augustine Hermits, who, after having been married in the world, loved only the Eternal Bridegroom Christ.
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.
