Prídie Nonas Iúnii Luna quinta décima Anno Dómini 2023
June 4th 2023, the 15th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
The Feast of the most holy and undivided Trinity, and the Octave of Pentecost.
At Agnone, in the Abruzzi, holy Confessor Francis, of the noble Neapolitan family of Caracciolo, founder of the congregation of Regular Clerks Minors. He was a burning and a shining light of love towards God and his neighbor, and intense earnestness in spreading abroad the worship of the Holy Eucharist. His body lieth at Naples, and is held in great veneration. Pius VII added his name to the list of those of the Saints.
At Rome, the holy martyrs Aretius and Dacian.
At Sisseg, in Illyricum, [in the year 304,] holy Quirinus, Bishop [of that see.] Prudentius writeth of him that, under the President Galerius, for Christ's faith's sake, a millstone was tied about his neck and he was cast into the river, but the millstone swam, and he was a long time exhorting the Christians who stood by not to be scared at the sight of his execution, nor to be shaken in the faith, and then obtained from God the glory of martyrdom, and so was allowed to sink.
At Brescia, under the Emperor Nero, the holy martyr Clateus, Bishop [of that see.]
In Hungary, the holy martyrs Rutilus and his companions.
At Arras, the holy Virgin and martyr Saturnina.
At Tivoli, the holy martyr Quirinus.
At Constantinople, [in the fourth century,] the holy Metrophanes, Archbishop [of that see,] an eminent Confessor.
At Milevitanus, in Numidia, holy Optatus, Bishop [of that see,] famous for his teaching and holiness.
At Verona, holy Alexander, Bishop [of that see.]
℣. 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.
