Today, 2 July, is the feast of ...
* Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
* Processus and Martinian, martyrs (?) - supposedly guarded Peter and Paul
while in the Mamertine prison
* Monegundis, widow (570) - lived as a recluse first at Chartres then at
Tours, where so many fervent women joined her that the convent of St
Pierre-le-Puellier was founded
* Otto, bishop of Bamberg (1139) - baptized over 20,000 eastern
Pomeranians
* Peter of Luxemburg, bishop of Metz and cardinal (1387) - all this before
or in his eighteenth year!
