The following excerpts are from FoxNews.com:
- Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese woman who gave birth in a Khartoum prison after being sentenced to death in May for allegedly converting from Islam to Christianity, has been freed.
- Ibrahim, 27, refused to renounce her Christian faith in court in May, prompting a judge to sentence her to hang for apostasy. The case became an international cause, with several U.S. lawmakers and the State Department blasting the decision as barbaric. Sudan's national news service SUNA said the Court of Cassation in Khartoum on Monday canceled the death sentence after defense lawyers presented their case, and that the court ordered her release.

Solemnity of Corpus Christi
June 22
Why is this day called Corpus Christi?
Because on this Thursday the Catholic Church celebrates the institution of the most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. The Latin term Corpus Christi signifies in English, Body of Christ.
Who instituted this festival?
Pope Urban IV, who, in the decree concerning it, gives the following explanation of the institution and grandeur of this festival: "Although we daily, in the holy Sacrifice of the Mass; renew the memory of this holy Sacrament, we believe that we must, besides, solemnly commemorate it every year, to put the unbelievers to shame; and because vie have been informed that God has revealed to some pious persons that this festival should be celebrated in the whole Church, we direct that on the first Thursday after the octave of Pentecost the faithful shall assemble in church, join with the priests in singing the word of God," &c. Hence this festival was instituted on account of the greatness of the divine mystery; the unbelief of those who denied the truth of this mystery; and the revelation made to some pious persons....

Saint Aloysius Gonzaga Memorial
Saint
Aloysius Gonzaga (also known as Aluigi Gonzaga; Luigi Gonzaga) was
born in 1568 A.D. at the castle of Castiglione, Italy. His family was
of nobility, and Aloysius' father was a compulsive gambler. He was
the cousin of Saint Rudolph Acquaviva.
Aloysius
had been trained to be a soldier and courtier from the age of four.
He suffered from kidney disease, which he considered a blessing as it
left him bed-ridden with time for prayer. While still a boy himself,
he taught catechism to poor boys. He received his first Communion
from Saint
Charles Borromeo.
