The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER X
How the Office Is to Be Said during the Summer Season
From Easter till the calends of November let the whole psalmody, as explained above, be said, except that on account of the shortness of the nights, no lessons are read from the book; but instead of these three lessons, let one from the Old Testament be said from memory. Let a short responsory follow this, and let all the rest be performed as was said; namely, that never fewer than twelve psalms be said at the night office, exclusive of the third and the 94th psalm.
Martyrology-June 14th
Roman Martyrology-June 14th- on this date in various years-
St. Basil, surnamed the Great, confessor and doctor of the Church. He died on the 1st of January, but his feast is celebrated today, for it was on this day that he was consecrated bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia.
At Samaria in Palestine, the holy prophet Eliseus, whose grave, says St. Jerome, makes the demons tremble. With him also rests the prophet Abdias.
At Syracuse in Sicily, St. Marcian, bishop, who was made bishop by blessed Peter, and killed by the Jews after he had preached the Gospel.
At Cordova in Spain, the holy martyrs Anastasius, a priest, Felix, a monk, and Digna, virgin.
At Soissons in France, the holy martyrs Valerius and Rufinus, who, after enduring many torments, were condemned to be beheaded by the governor Rictiovarus, in the persecution of Diocletian.
At Constantinople, St. Methodius, bishop.
At Vienne, St. Aetherius, bishop.
At Rodez in France, St. Quinctian, bishop.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
