Undécimo Kaléndas Iúlii Luna tértia Anno Dómini 2023
June 21st 2023, the 3rd day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, [in the year 1591,] holy Aloysius Gonzaga, of the Society of Jesus, illustrious for his contempt of earthly rank, and for the innocency of his life.
Also at Rome, the holy Virgin Demetria, who was crowned with martyrdom under the Emperor Julian the Apostate.
At Syracuse, in Sicily, the holy martyrs Rufinus and Marcia.
In Africa, the holy martyrs Cyriacus and Apollinaris.
At Mainz, the holy martyr Alban, who after long toil and stern contending for Christ's faith was made worthy of the crown of life.
On the same day, holy Eusebius of Samosata. In the time of the Arian Emperor Constantius he used to visit the Churches of God, disguised as a soldier, to confirm them in the Catholic faith. Under Valens he was banished into Thrace. After peace was restored to the Church in the time of Theodosius he was called back from exile, and was visiting the churches again when an Arian woman dropped a tile upon him from a height which cracked his skull, and so he died a martyr at last, [in the year 380.]
At Iconium, in Lycaonia, the holy martyr Terence, Bishop [of that see.]
At Pavia, [in the year 216,] the holy Confessor Urciscenus, Bishop [of that see.]
At Tongres, holy Martin, Bishop [of that see.]
At Évreux, the holy Abbot Leufroi, [about the year 738.]
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. 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.
