This Day, the Twenty Ninth Day of June
At Rome, the birthday of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, who suffered martyrdom on the same day, under the emperor Nero. Within the city the former was crucified with his dead downwards, and buried in the Vatican, near the Triumphal way, where he is venerated by the whole world. The latter was put to the sword and buried on the Ostian way, where he receives similar honors.
At Argenton, St. Marcellus, martyr, who was beheaded for the faith of Christ together with the soldier Anastasius.
At Genoa, the birthday of St. Syrius, bishop.
At Narni, St. Cassius, bishop of that city, of whom St. Gregory relates, that he permitted scarcely any day of his life to pass without offering the victim of propitiation to Almighty God; and he was well worthy to do it, for he distributed in alms all he possessed, and his devotion was such that abundant tears flowed from his eyes during the holy sacrifice. At last, he came to Rome on the birthday of the Apostles, as was his yearly custom, and after having solemnly celebrated Mass and given the Lord's body and the kiss of peace to all, he departed for Heaven.
In Cyprus, St. Mary, mother of John, surnamed Mark.
In the territory of Sens, St. Benedicta, virgin.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
Omnes sancti Mártyres, oráte pro nobis.
("All ye Holy Martyrs, pray for us", from the Litaniae Sanctorum, the Litany of the Saints)

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

XXII QUOMODO DORMIANT MONACHI
1 Singuli per singula lecta dormiant.
2 Lectisternia pro modo conversationis secundum dispensationem abbatis sui accipiant.
3 Si potest fieri omnes in uno loco dormiant; sin autem multitudo non sinit, deni aut viceni cum senioribus qui super eos solliciti sint pausent.
4 Candela iugiter in eadem cella ardeat usque mane.
5 Vestiti dormiant et cincti cingellis aut funibus, ut cultellos suos ad latus suum non habeant dum dormiunt, ne forte per somnum vulnerent dormientem;
6 et ut parati sint monachi semper et, facto signo absque mora surgentes, festinent invicem se praevenire ad opus Dei, cum omni tamen gravitate et modestia.
7 Adulescentiores fratres iuxta se non habeant lectos, sed permixti cum senioribus.
8 Surgentes vero ad opus Dei invicem se moderate cohortentur propter somnulentorum excusationes.
CHAPTER 22: HOW THE MONKS ARE TO SLEEP
1 Each is to sleep in a separate bed.
2 They are to receive bedding appropriate to their way of life, according to the abbot’s dispensation.
3 If possible, all should sleep in one place; but if their large numbers do not permit this they should sleep by tens or twenties with the seniors who are charged to watch over them.
4 A lamp should burn constantly in this room until morning.
5 They are to sleep clothed and girded with belts or cords, but they should not have their knives at their sides while sleeping lest they wound themselves in their sleep;
6 and thus monks will always be prepared when the signal is given to rise without delay, and to compete with one another (Rom 12:10) in hastening to the Work of God with all gravity and modesty.
7 The younger brothers should not have their beds next to each other, but interspersed among those of the seniors.
8 And upon arising for the Work of God they should quietly encourage one another, on account of the excuses which the sleepy tend to make.
