Nonis Iúnii Luna vicésima séptima Anno Dómini 2024
June 5th 2024, the 27th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
Holy Boniface, Archbishop of Mainz. He came from England to Rome, and was sent by Gregory II into Germany to preach the faith of Christ to those nations, and he earned the title of Apostle of the Germans by turning a vast multitude, more especially of Frisians, to the religion of Christ. At last he, along with Eoban and some other servants of God in Friesland, received martyrdom by the sword at the hand of raging heathens.
In Egypt, the holy martyrs Martian, Nicanor, Apollonius, and others, who finished an illustrious testimony, in the persecution under Galerius Maximian.
At Perugia, the holy martyrs Florence, Julian, Cyriacus, Marcellinus, and Faustinus, who were beheaded in the persecution under Decius.
At Caesarea, in Palestine, the holy Zenais, Cyria, Valeria, and Marcia, who with rejoicing attained unto martyrdom through many torments.
At Tyre, the holy Priest Dorotheus. He suffered much under Diocletian, but survived till the time of Julian, in whose reign, and the hundred and seventh year of his own age, he crowned his venerable years with the glory of martyrdom.
At Cordova, in Spain, the holy lad Sancho, who was brought up in the Royal Court, but in the persecution under the Arabs for Christ’s faith's sake accepted martyrdom without shrinking.
℣. 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.
