Friday At the Foot Of the Cross
Saint Peter (Apostle, Pope, & Martyr) and Saint Paul (Apostle and Martyr)
You can pray the traditional Office for this feast here.
Oremus.
Deus, qui hodiérnam diem Apostolórum tuórum Petri et Pauli martyrio consecrásti : da Ecclésiæ tuæ, eórum in ómnibus sequi præcéptum; per quos religiónis sumpsit exordium.
Let us pray.
O God, who didst hallow this day by the martyrdom of thine holy Apostles Peter and Paul, grant unto thy Church, whose foundations thou wast pleased to lay by their hands, the grace always in all things to remain faithful to their teaching.
Saint Peter, please pray for us!
Saint Paul, please pray for us!

Saint Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer
Today is the feast (in the 1970 Ordo) of Saint Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei.
One of the misfortunes of being a traddie is being locked into the Ordo circa 1962, which prevents saints recently canonized like Saint Josemaria and Saint Padre Pio from being liturgically recognized.
Saint Josemaria's little guide to spirituality, The Way, ought to be on every Catholic bookshelf, right next to The Imitation Of Christ and The Glories Of Mary.
