Feast of Saint Paulinus of Nola
Paulinus of Nola (/pɔːˈlaɪnəs/; Latin: Paulinus Nolanus; also anglicized as Pauline of Nola;[2] c. 354 – 22 June 431) born Pontius Meropius Anicius Paulinus, was a Roman poet, writer, and senator who attained the ranks of suffect consul (c. 377) and governor of Campania (c. 380 – c. 381) but—following the assassination of the emperor Gratian and under the influence of his Hispanic wife Therasia of Nola—abandoned his career, was baptized as a Christian, and probably after Therasia's death became bishop of Nola in Campania. While there, he wrote poems in honor of his predecessor Saint Felix and corresponded with other Christian leaders throughout the empire. He is credited with the introduction of bells to Christian worship and helped resolve the disputed election of Pope Boniface I. His renunciation of his wealth and station in favor of an ascetic and philanthropic life was held up as an example by many of his contemporaries—including Augustine, Jerome, Martin, and Ambrose—and he was subsequently venerated as a saint. His relics became a focus of pilgrimage, but were removed from Nola sometime between the 11th and 20th centuries. His feast day is observed on 22 June in both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. In Nola, the entire week around his feast day is celebrated as the Festival of the Lilies.

This Day, the Twenty Second Day of June
At Nola, in Campania, the birthday of blessed Paulinus, bishop and confessor, who, although a most noble and wealthy man, made himself poor and humble for Christ; and what is still more admirable, became a slave to liberate a widow's son, who had been carried to Africa by the Vandals, when they devastated Campania. He was celebrated, not only for his learning and exceptional holiness of life, but also for his power over the demons. His great merit has been extolled by Saints Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine and Gregory, in their writings. His body, at first transferred to Benevento, and thence to Rome, was restored to Nola by order of Pius X.
At Rome, blessed Innocent V, Pope, who labored with mildness and prudence to maintain liberty for the Church and harmony among Christians. The veneration paid to him, Pope Leo XIII approved and confirmed.
On Mount Ararat, the martyrdom of ten thousand holy martyrs, who were crucified.
At Verulam, in England, in the time of Diocletian, St. Alban, martyr, who gave himself up to save a cleric whom he had harbored. After being scourged and subjected to bitter torments, he was sentenced to capital punishment. With him suffered also one of the soldiers that led him to execution, who was converted to Christ on the way, and merited to be baptized, in his own blood.
At Samaria, fourteen hundred and eighty holy martyrs, under Chosroes, king of Persia.
At Rome, the translation of St. Flavius Clemens, ex-consul and martyr, who was put to death for the faith of Christ by the emperor Domitian. His body was found in the basilica of Pope St. Clement, and buried there with great pomp.
The same day, St. Nicaeas, bishop of the town of Bomatia, celebrated for his learning and holy life.
At Naples, in Campania, St. John, bishop, who was called to the kingdom of Heaven by blessed Paulinus, bishop of Nola.
In the monastery of Cluny, St. Consortia, virgin.
At London in England, on Tower Hill, St. John Fisher, bishop of Rochester and cardinal of the Holy Roman Church. For the defense of the Catholic faith and the primacy of the Roman Pontiff he was beheaded by order of King Henry VIII.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
Omnes sancti Mártyres, oráte pro nobis.

Prayers for Every Day of the Week

The Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary are prayed on Sunday
"I would like to remind you that the Rosary is a biblical prayer, all filled with the Holy Scriptures." It is a prayer from the heart, in which the repetition of the Ave Maria directs the thought and affection towards Christ, and thus is made a confident prayer to Him and our Mother. It is a prayer that helps to meditate on the Word of God and assimilate the Eucharistic Communion, on the model of Mary who kept in her heart everything Jesus did and said and even His Presence. " Pope Benedict XVI

XVIII QUO ORDINE IPSI PSALMI DICENDI SUNT
1 In primis dicatur versu Deus in adiutorium meum intende, Domine ad adiuvandum me festina, gloria, inde hymnum uniuscuiusque horae.
2 Deinde, prima hora dominica, dicenda quattuor capitula psalmi centesimi octavi decimi;
3 reliquis vero horis, id est tertia, sexta vel nona, terna capitula suprascripti psalmi centesimi octavi decimi dicantur.
4 Ad primam autem secundae feriae, dicantur tres psalmi, id est primus, secundus et sextus;
5 et ita per singulos dies ad primam usque dominica dicantur per ordinem terni psalmi usque nonum decimum psalmum, ita sane ut nonus psalmus et septimus decimus partiantur in binos.
6 Et sic fit ut ad vigilias dominica semper a vicesimo incipiatur.
CHAPTER 18: IN WHAT ORDER THE PSALMS ARE TO BE SAID
1 At the beginning this verse is to be said: O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me (Ps 70:2) with a “Glory be”, followed by the hymn proper to each hour.
2 Then at Prime on Sunday four sections of Psalm 118 are said:
3 at the other hours, that is, Terce, Sext and None, three sections of this aforementioned psalm 118 are said.
4 But at Prime on Monday three psalms are said: Psalms 1, 2, and 6;
5 and so at Prime each day until Sunday three psalms are said in order up to Psalm 20 - psalms 9 and 17 being each divided in two.
6 And so in this way Vigils on Sunday will always begin with Psalm 20.
