Idibus Iúnii Luna sexta Anno Dómini 2024
June 13th 2024, the 6th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Padua, the holy Confessor Anthony of Portugal, of the Order of Friars Minor, famous for his life, miracles, and preaching.
At Rome, upon the Ardeatine Way, the holy Virgin martyr Felicula. She would not marry Flaccus nor sacrifice to idols, and was therefore handed over to a certain judge who, forasmuch as she remained steadfast in confessing Christ, starved her in the dark, then had her racked until she died, and thereafter threw her body into a sewer. The holy Nicomedes buried her beside the same Way.
In Africa, the holy martyrs Fortunatus and Lucian.
At Byblos, in Palestine, the holy Virgin martyr Aquilina, aged twelve years. In the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian and the judge Valusian, she was buffeted and beaten for her confession of the faith, and stabbed with heated awls, and lastly smitten with the sword, and so hallowed maidenhood by martyrdom.
In the Abruzzi, the holy martyr Peregrine, Bishop [of Amiternum,] who for the Catholic faith's sake was drowned by the Lombards in the river Aterno.
At Cordova, the holy monk and priest Fandilas, who [in the year 853] suffered martyrdom for Christ's sake by being beheaded in the persecution by the Arabs.
In Cyprus, [in the fourth century,] holy Triphyllius, Bishop [of Nicosia.]
℣. 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.
