June 22nd
St Paulinus of Nola (353-431), Bishop, Confessor; Bourdeaux, France; Feast day June 22nd

"Is surprised me that anyone should look upon it as a great action for a man to purchase eternal salvation, the only solid good, with perishable pelf, and to sell the earth to buy heaven."

St John Fisher (1469-1535), Bishop, Martyr; Beverley, Yorkshire, England; Feast day June 22nd

"Christian people, I am come hither to die for the faith of Christ's Catholic Church, and I thank God hitherto my courage hath served me well thereto, so that yet hitherto I have not feared death; wherefore I desire you help me and assist me with your prayers, that at the very point and instant of my death's stroke, and in the very  moment of my death, I then faint not in any point of the Catholic Faith for fear; and I pray God save the king and the realm, and hold His holy hand over it, and send the king a good counsel."
