Anna Maria Taigi (née Giannetti; 29 May 1769 – 9 June 1837) was an Italian Catholic professed member from the Secular Trinitarians.[1][2] Taigi reportedly experienced a series of ecstasies during her life and heard the voices of God and Jesus Christ on several occasions. She became a Secular Trinitarian after experiencing a sudden religious conversion in the winter of 1790 at Saint Peter's Basilica, when Taigi came into contact with a range of cardinals and luminaries, including Vincent Strambi and Benedict Joseph Flaget.[3][4] Her beatification process was opened in 1863 under Pope Pius IX, granting her the title Servant of God, and Pope Benedict XV beatified her in 1920.
The Reading from the Martyrology
This Day, the Ninth Day of June
At Rome, on Mount Caelius, the birthday of the holy martyrs Primus and Felician, under the emperors Diocletian and Maximian. These glorious martyrs lived long in the service of the Lord, and endured sometimes together, sometimes separately, various cruel torments. They were finally beheaded by Promotus, governor of Nomentum, and thus happily ended their combat.
At Agen, in France, St. Vincent, deacon and martyr.
At Antioch, St. Pelagia, virgin and martyr, whose eulogy has been made by St. Ambrose and St. John Chrysostom.
At Syracuse, the bishop St. Maximian, who is frequently mentioned by Pope St. Gregory.
At Andria, in Terra-di-Bari, St. Richard, first bishop of that city, who is renowned for miracles.
In Scotland, St. Columba, priest and confessor.
At Edessa, in Syria, St. Julian, a monk, whose memorable deeds have been related by the deacon St. Ephrem.
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)

Prayers for Every Day of the Week
The Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary are prayed on Monday
"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

The Reading of the Rule of Saint Benedict for June 9
From Chapter VII
60 Undecimus humilitatis gradus est, si cum loquitur monachus, leniter et sine risu, humiliter cum gravitate, vel pauca verba et rationabilia loquatur, et non sit clamosus in voce; 61 sicut scriptum est: Sapiens verbis innotescit paucis.
60 The eleventh step of humility is that when speaking the monk does so gently and without laughter, humbly and with gravity, speaking few but reasonable words, and that his voice is not clamorous: 61 as it is written, A wise man is known by his few words. (The Sentences of Sextus 145)
