Prídie Idus Iúnii Luna quinta Anno Dómini 2024
June 12th 2024, the 5th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Salamanca, in Spain, the holy Confessor John of San Fagondez, of the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine, famous for his zeal for the faith, the holiness of his life, and his wonderful works.
At Rome, upon the Aurelian Way, the holy soldiers Basilides, Cyrinus, Nabor, and Nazarius, all martyrs, who were thrust into prison under Aurelius the Prefect, in the persecution under Diocletian and Maximian, because of their Christian profession, and after they had been torn with armed scourges, were beheaded.
At Nice, in Bithynia, the holy martyr Antonina, who in the same persecution was, by the order of Priscillian the President, beaten with clubs, hung upon the rack, torn in the sides, burnt with fire, and at last slain with the sword.
In Thrace, [in the fourth century,] holy Olympius, Bishop [of Enos,] who was thrust out of his see by the Arians and died a Confessor.
At Rome, in the Vatican Basilica, [in the year 816,] the holy Pope Leo III, whose eyes and tongue were torn out by wicked men, [in the year 799,] but wonderfully given back to him by God.
In Cilicia, holy Amphion, Bishop [of Nicomedia,] who was an eminent Confessor in the time of the Emperor Galerius Maximian.
In Egypt, [toward the beginning of the fifth century,] the holy Hermit Onuphrius, who lived in the great desert for sixty years and passed to heaven illustrious for great, mighty, and worthy deeds his famous acts were written by the Abbot Paphnutius.
℣. 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.
