Are you "Proud to be a Catholic"? https://ocaminhodossanttos.blogspot.com/2021/07/proudtobecatholic.html An open challenge on the Alleged Hermeneutics of Continuity. https://ocaminhodossanttos.blogspot.com/2021/07/hermeneuticsofcontinuity.html

1. MAJOR FEAST: St Anthony Mary Zaccaria Confessor, at Cremona in Insubria, Italy, founder of the Barnabites and of the Angelic Virgins. Distinguished for all the virtues and for miracles, he was placed among the Saints by Leo XIII. His body is venerated in the church of St. Barnabas, at Milan. (RM)

2. Feast of "Maria Laetitia" or of the Seven Joys of Mary, July 5, 1442.

   The Seven Joys of Mary our Mother

   Today is marked on some calendars as the Feast of the Seven Joys of Mary, which, however, as far as I can find, is August 27. The Seven Joys are: the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, the Resurrection, the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ to Heaven. On careful searching, I believe that July 5 is probably the commemoration or the feast of the Apparition in 1442 at Assisi of Our Lady to St James (Giacomo) of the Rosary, then a Franciscan novice, where she revealed to him a new Devotional, called the Franciscan Crown. As a child, James offered Mary a crown of roses every day as a sign of his love and devotion to her. When he joined the Franciscans, James was distressed that he could no longer make this offering of flowers to Our Lady. But Mary appeared to James, and she instructed him to weave for her a crown of prayers instead by reciting a Rosary of seven decades, each one meditating on one of the seven joyful events in her life. James immediately began to pray this new Rosary. While doing so, he was witnessed by the Novice Master, who saw that while James prayed, an angel weaved a wreath of roses, adding a golden lily after every 10 roses, and once the Rosary was done, placed the wreath or crown on James' head. The Novice Master demanded from James an explanation, and when told, he informed all the Franciscan friars, who then adopted this new Rosary, from where it has spread.
3. Miracle by the Intercession of St Peter of Luxemburg at Avignon, see below.

4. July 5, 1472: Dedication of Our Lady of Cambray, Arras, France.

   «In the year 1472, the statue in the shrine of Our Lady of Cambrai was dedicated by Peter of Ranchicourt, the Bishop of Arras. The statue at the shrine is known as Notre Dame de Grace en Cambrai, or Our Lady of Grace at Cambray, and is a famous and popular image of the Blessed Virgin. It depicts Mary standing atop a globe, with her hands down at her sides so that grace can fall from her fingertips upon her children. There is also a miraculous icon of the Blessed Virgin holding her Divine Infant in a tender embrace. The image is said to have come to Cambray from Rome in about 1440, and it is ascribed to Saint Luke the Apostle. This icon is also known as Our Lady of Grace, and is considered the patroness of Cambray. The icon was crowned in the year 1894, and is proudly taken through the streets of Cambray in procession on the eve of the Assumption each year. This church was first built in honor of Our Lady in the year 524. This first church was reduced to ruins by the Normans in the year 882. A few years later it was rebuilt by Dossilon, twenty-first Bishop of Arras, in the year 890. After having been burnt again in the years 1064 and 1148, it was rebuilt later in the same century. During the French Revolution that church was destroyed, although the abbey church was allowed to stand because it was profaned and used as a Temple or Reason by the unreasoning. The present structure was built during the years 1696 to 1703 upon the site of the former church. This church was also damaged by fire in 1859, was restored and consecrated in 1894, and was severely damaged during World War I, and again in World War II. The Paix des Dames, or the Women's Peace that ended the war between Spain and France in the year 1529, was signed at Cambray on the 5th of August. The cathedral is now a national monument. As at so many of her shrines, Our Lady of Cambray here also bestowed graces and favors and miraculous answers to prayers upon her devotees.»

(RM) Cyrilla, an elderly widow in Cyrene in Cyrenaica, martyr under Diocletian for refusing to sacrifice to idols.

30. St Numerianus, bishop of Treves or Triers in Germany, confessor. (RM)
31. St Peter of Luxemburg, Cardinal, bishop of Metz, confessor, descended both by his father and mother from the noblest families in Europe, was born in Lorraine, in the year 1369. When but a schoolboy, twelve years of age, he went to London as a hostage for his brother, the Count of St Pol, who had been taken prisoner. The English were so won by Peter's holy example that they released him at the end of the year, taking his word for the ransom. Richard II now invited him to remain at the English court, but Peter returned to Paris, determined to have no master but Christ. At the early age of fifteen he was appointed, on account of his prudence and sanctity, Bishop of Metz, and made his public entry into his see barefoot and riding an ass. He governed his diocese with all the zeal and prudence of maturity, and divided his revenues in three parts, for the Church, the poor, and his household. His charities often left him personally destitute, and he had but twenty pence left when he died. Created Cardinal of St George, his austerities in the midst of a court were so severe that he was ordered to moderate them. Peter replied, "I shall always be an unprofitable servant, but I can at least obey." Ten months after his promotion he fell sick of a fever, and lingered for some time in a sinking condition, his holiness increasing as he drew near his end. St Peter, it was believed, never stained his soul by mortal sin; yet as he grew in grace his holy hatred of self became more and more intense. At length, when he had received the last sacraments, he forced his attendants each in turn to scourge him for his faults, and then lay silent till he died. But God was pleased to glorify His servant. Among other miracles is the following: On July 5, 1432, a child about twelve years old was killed by falling from a high tower, in the palace of Avignon, upon a sharp rock. The father, distracted with grief, picked up the scattered pieces of the skull and brains, and carried them in a sack, with the mutilated body of his son, to St. Peter's shrine, and with many tears be- sought the Saint's intercession. After a while the child returned to life, and was placed upon the altar for all to witness. In honor of this miracle the city of Avignon chose St Peter as its patron Saint. He died in 1387, aged eighteen years. For more information see https://www.bartleby.com/210/7/051.html. From Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints (AB).
32. St Philomena, virgin at St Severinus (San Severino) in the March of Ancona. (RM) Philomena of Settempeda: In 1526-7, excavations were carried out under the main altar of St Lawrence in Doliolo in Settempeda, which is now called Sanseverino, in the Marche. A woman's body was found with a schedule (not easily legible) in which it is said that it was the body of St Philomena of the Chiavelli lineage translated by St Severinus bishop in that church at the time of King Totila the Goth. In the same year, Cardinal Ciocchi del Monte placed the body under a new altar dedicated to her. Her feast was first celebrated on July 5, the date on which she appeared in the Roman Martyrology. She is not the same person as the more famous Roman Martyr St Philomena.
33. Saints Probus and Grace, husband and wife. During the renovation of the Church of Saints Probus and Grace in the village of St Probus or Probus near the village of Tresillian east of Truro in Cornwall, a country and nation to the west of England, the skulls of a man and women were found interred near the altar, and are believed to be the heads of the couple. The church was originally a monastery. The Church of England has converted it into a Demonarium. In this parish lived St Francis Tregian the Elder, Iso-Martyr, a rich landowner, and relatives of the Arundells, who was robbed and imprisoned by the Apostates, Traitors, Infidels and Satanists of England and Scotland, and released after 28 years, then died in exile in 1608 in Lisbon. He had harbored St Cuthbert Mayne, Martyr, who was murdered by the Apostates, Traitors, Infidels and Satanists of England and Scotland November 27, 1577, he was offered a reprieve if he turned Satanist and accepted the "Queen of England," Elizabeth Boleyn, as the "Pope of England," but he staunchly refused this vile and abominable filthiness, he kissed a copy of the Bible, and declared that, "the queen neither ever was, nor is, nor ever shall be, the Pope of England."
34. St Stephen, a Nicaean, first bishop of Reggio, Italy, ordained by St Paul the Apostle in the 1st century. Martyred in the persecutions of Nero.
35. St Thomas, a monk, then abbot of the Mother of God monastery in Terreti, a hilly district outside Reggio in Calabria, Italy. Known for his personal piety, his adherence to the monastic rule, and his ascetic lifestyle. Died in the Lord, July 5, 1000.

38. St Zoe (Zoa), martyred at Rome, wife of the blessed martyr Nicostratus. Whilst praying at the tomb of the Apostle St. Peter, during the time of Diocletian, she was seized by the persecutors, and cast into a dark dungeon; then being suspended on a tree by her neck and hair, and suffocated by a loathsome smoke, she yielded up her soul in the confession of the Lord.
