Séptimo Idus Júnii. Luna . The Seventh Day of June.  The Night of the Moon.

Constantinópoli natális sancti Pauli, ejúsdem civitátis Epíscopi, qui sæpe ab Ariánis ob fidem cathólicam pulsus, et a sancto Júlio Primo, Románo Pontífice, restitútus est; ac demum, ab Ariáno Imperatóre Constántio relegátus ad Cucúsum, Cappadóciæ oppídulum, ibídem, Arianórum insídiis crudéliter strangulátus, ad cæléstia regna migrávit.  Ipsíus autem corpus, Theodósio Imperatóre, Constantinópolim summo honóre, translátum fuit.

At Constantinople, the birthday of St. Paul, bishop of that city.  For the Catholic faith, he was often driven out of his see by the Arians, but restored to it by the Roman Pontiff, St. Julius I.  Finally the Arian emperor Constantius banished him to Cucusum, a small town of Cappadocia.  There, by the intrigue of the Arians, he was barbarously strangled, and thus departed for the heavenly kingdom.  His body was taken to Constantinople with the greatest honour during the reign of Emperor Theodosius.

Córdubæ, in Hispánia, sanctórum Monachórum et Mártyrum Petri Presbyteri, Wallabónsi Diáconi, Sabiniáni, Wistremúndi, Habéntii et Jeremíæ, qui pro Christo, in persecutióne Arábica, sunt juguláti.

At Cordova in Spain, the holy martyrs Peter, a priest, Wallabonsus, a deacon, Sabinianus, Wistremund, Habentius, and Jeremias, all of whom were monks.  Their throats were cut at the time of the Arab persecution because they had confessed Christ.

Hermópoli, in Ægypto, sancti Lycariónis Mártyris, qui laniátus, virgis férreis ignítis cæsus, áliaque sævíssima passus est, ac demum, gládio percússus, martyrium consummávit.

At Hermopolis in Egypt, St. Licarion, martyr, who had his body lacerated, was scourged with heated iron rods, and endured other horrible torments, after which his martyrdom was completed by beheading.

Placéntiæ sancti Antónii Maríæ Gianélli, Bobiénsis Epíscopi, Fundatóris Congregatiónis Filiárum Maríæ sanctíssimæ ab Horto nuncupatárum, quem Pius Papa Duodécimus inter sanctos Cælites adnumerávit.

At Placentia, St. Anthony Mary Gianelli, bishop of Bobbio, and founder of the Congregation of Sisters of our Lady of the Garden.  Pope Pius XII numbered him among the saints of heaven.

In Anglia sancti Robérti Abbátis, ex Ordine Cisterciénsi.
