The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER XXV
Of Graver Faults
But let the brother who is found guilty of a graver fault be excluded
from both the table and the oratory. Let none of the brethren join
his company or speak with him. Let him be alone at the work enjoined
on him, persevering in penitential sorrow, mindful of the terrible
sentence of the Apostle who saith, that "such a man is delivered over
for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the
day of the Lord" (1 Cor 5:5). Let him get his food alone in such
quantity and at such a time as the Abbot shall deem fit; and let him
not be blessed by anyone passing by, nor the food that is given him.
Martyrology-July 3rd
Roman Martyrology-July 3rd- on this date in various years-
At Rome, the birthday of Pope St. Leo II, confessor, who passed to
heaven filled with merits during the first year of his pontificate.
At Chiusi in Tuscany, in the reign of Emperor Aurelian, the holy
martyrs Irenaeus, a deacon, and Mustiola, a matron, who were subjected
to various atrocious tortures and merited the crown of martyrdom.
At Alexandria, the holy martyrs Trypho and twelve others.
At Constantinople, the holy martyrs Eulogius and his companions.
At Caesarea in Cappadocia, St. Hyacinth, chamberlain of the emperor
Trajan. Accused of being a Christian, he was scourged and thrown
into prison where he died of hunger.
The same day, the holy martyrs Mark and Mucian, who were put to the
sword for Christ. A small boy who cried out to them not to sacrifice
to idols was then whipped, but confessing Christ still more
vehemently, he was put to death with a man named Paul, who had also
exhorted the martyrs.
At Laodicea in Syria, St. Anatolius, a bishop whose writings were
admired not only by religious men, but by philosophers.
At Altino, St. Heliodorus, a bishop distinguished for holiness and
learning.
At Ravenna, St. Dathus, bishop and confessor.
At Edessa in Mesopotamia, the translation of the apostle St. Thomas
from India. His relics were afterwards taken to Ortona.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors,
and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
