*Today is the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary, set today because of a major naval victory at Lepanto over the Turkish fleet in 1571. The French (any maybe others?) honor this as Our Lady of Victory. The pope had asked everyone to pray the rosary for victory.
*Wednesday is either St. Denis or St. John Lombardi, both optional memorials. This year I'll do St. John Lombardi, an Italian priest of the 16th-17th centuries who founded a diocesan order but then went into exile where he took care of St. Philip Neri's cat.
*Friday is St. John XXIII. He proposed the idea of Vatican II, convened the council, and then died in 1963 after the first session.
