Hymnus
Iam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.
Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Eiúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.
May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.
May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.
That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.
All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

The Twentieth of June
At Florence, Saint Juliana Falconieri the Virgin, who was the foundress of the Sisters of the Order of the Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and was enrolled in the number of holy Virgins by Pope Clement XII, Supreme Pontiff.
At Milan, the holy Martyrs Gervasius and Protasius, brothers; of whom the Lord ordered the former to be beaten with leaden flails so long until he breathed his last; the latter, beaten with clubs, was beheaded. Their bodies, revealed by the Lord, blessed Ambrose found sprinkled with blood and so incorrupt as if they had been slain that very day; and at their translation a blind man received sight by touching the bier, and very many who were tormented by demons were freed.
In the monastery of Valle Castro, in Picenum, the birth of Saint Romuald of Ravenna, Anchorite and Father of the Camaldolese Monks; who restored the eremitical discipline that had collapsed in Italy and propagated it wonderfully. His feast, however, is kept on the seventh of the Ides of February, on which day his sacred relics were translated to Fabriano.
At Arezzo, in Tuscany, the holy Martyrs Gaudentius the Bishop and Culmatinus the Deacon, who, in the time of Valentinian, were slain by the fury of the Gentiles.
On the same day, Saint Boniface, Bishop and Martyr, who was a disciple of blessed Romuald. He, sent by Gregory V, Roman Pontiff, to preach the Gospel in Russia, when he had passed through fire unharmed and baptized the King and his people, was killed by the raging brother of the King, and thus received the martyrdom's crown he had longed for.
At Ravenna, Saint Ursicinus the Martyr, who, under the governor Paulinus, after many torments, remaining steadfast in the confession of the Lord, completed his martyrdom by beheading.
At Sozopolis, in Pisidia, Saint Zosimus the Martyr, who, in the persecution of Trajan under the governor Domitian, after bitter torments, was beheaded and departed victorious to the Lord.
