Feast of Saint Anthony Mary Gianelli
Anthony grew up in a poor but pious family in a small farming village in Lombardy, Italy. The owner of his family farm paid for Anthony's seminary education because he was such a promising student. He was very young for ordination and required a special dispensation, however he was ordained in 1812 and served as a parish priest, and eventually founded several religious communities, some of them short-lived.
In 1827, he founded the Missionaries of St. Alphonsus, which lasted until 1856. He also founded the Oblates of Saint Alphonsus in 1828, which lasted only 20 years. The Daughters of Our Lady of the Garden, which he founded in 1829, still continue their ministry in education and among the sick in Europe, Asia and the United States.
He was named bishop of Bobbio, Italy in 1837 and actively restored devotions and instructed the faithful. He was a people’s bishop, visiting with his parishes and organizing two synods. He died after nine years as bishop on June 7, 1846 due to a serious fever and tuberculosis.
He was canonized in 1951.
The Reading from the Martyrology
This Day, the Seventh Day of June
At Constantinople, the birthday of St. Paul, martyr, bishop of that city. For the Catholic faith, he was often expelled from his see by the Arians, and restored to it by the Roman Pontiff, St. Julius. Finally, the Arian emperor Constantius banished him to Cucusum, a small town of Cappadocia, where, by the machinations of the Arians, he was barbarously strangled, and thus departed for the Heavenly kingdom. His body was conveyed to Constantinople with the greatest honor, in the reign of emperor Theodosius.
In Egypt, St. Licarion, martyr, who was lacerated, scourged with heated iron rods, and, after other horrible torments, was crowned with martyrdom by a stroke from the sword.
At Cordova, the holy martyrs Peter, priest, Wallabonsus, deacon, Sabinian, Wistremundus, Habentius, and Jeremias, monks.
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)

Saturday is the Day dedicated to The Blessed Virgin and her Immaculate Heart.
Saturdays are, traditionally, the days Catholics go to Confession in preparation for receiving the Eucharist on Sundays (some Catholics might make a habit of going to Confession on Saturdays; other might go before Mass on Sunday, and, of course, as always, whenever needed). Also on Saturdays, many Catholics make what is called the "First Saturdays Devotion" which entails going to Mass and receiving Communion on the first Saturday of the month for 5 consecutive months in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. See Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Chez Nous Soyez Reine
With us be Queen, we are yours
Reign like a sovereign
In our home, in our home
Be the Madonna we pray to on our knees,
Who smiles and forgives,
In our home, in our home.
Hail, O Our Lady,
We come before Thee,
To entrust our souls
To your gentle heart.
You are our Mother,
Take to your Son
The fervent prayers
Of your beloved children.
The Archangel bows
Praises you in the name of heaven.
Give divine peace
To our mortal heart.
Keep, O pure Virgin,
O sweetest of hearts
Our souls undefiled,
Our valiant and gentle hearts.
Tell those who toil
And suffer without knowing
How heavy is hate,
How sweet is hope.
When the peaceful night
Invites us to sleep,
Close to us, invisible,
Stay with us until we wake.
Be for us the Queen
Of sweet charity,
And banish hatred
From all the city.
In our last hour
Welcome us into heaven
To the Father's house
Our joyful return.
The Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary are prayed on Saturday
"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
