Chant praise to the Lord, Who rides on the heights of the heavens to the East.
Grant, we beseech You, almighty and merciful God, that what we have received in visible mysteries we obtain by an invisible effect.

JUNE 4: A PRIEST HACKED ON THE HEAD
Saint Pietro of Verona
Priest and Martyr
Died: 1252
---
He was an Italian Dominican priest and martyr. He was known for being a very effective preacher. He condemned Albigensianism and converted many of its followers back to Catholicism. The Albigensians hired two men to murder him. He was hacked on the head. He dipped his finger on the pool of his own blood and wrote on the ground, "Credo in unum Deum" which means "I believe in one God."

SAINT TERESA OF AVILA SEES A PRIEST IN MORTAL SIN
.
"Once, while approaching to receive Communion, I saw with my soul's eyes more clearly than with my bodily eyes two devils whose appearance was abominable. It seems to me their horns were wrapped around the poor priests's throat, and in the host that was going to be given to me I saw my Lord with the majesty I mentioned placed in the priest's hands, which were clearly seen to be His offender's; and I understood that that soul was in mortal sin. What would it be my Lord, to see Your beauty in the midst of such abominable figures? They were as though frightened and terrified in Your presence, for it seems they would have very eagerly fled had You allowed them. This vision caused me such great disturbance I don't know how I was able to receive Communion, and I was left with a great fear, thinking that if the vision had been from God, His Majesty would not have permitted me to see the evil that was in that soul. The Lord Himself told me to pray for him and that He had permitted it so that I might understand the power of the words of consecration and how God does not fail to be present, however evil the priest who recites them, and that I might see His great goodness since He places Himself in those hands of His enemy, and all out of love for me and for everyone. I understood well how much more priests are obliged to be good than are others, how deplorable a thing it is to receive this most Blessed Sacrament unworthily, and how much the devil is lord over the soul in mortal sin. It did me a great deal of good and brought me deep understanding of what I owed God. May He be blessed forever and ever.

They were Polish Conventual Franciscan priests and martyrs. They were sent as missionaries to Peru. There, they brought food and preached and fostered peace to the people.
