# Matins Nocturn 2 readings for Ss. Cletus and Marcellinus, Popes and
# Martyrs (Apr 26) — SanctiM/04-26.txt inherits the whole day
# (`@Sancti/04-26`) with no Nocturn 2/3 override, so this feast's own
# proper content is sourced from the Tridentine track exactly as for a
# pre-1955 saint (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints,
# vu-matins-sanctim-saints). A second SanctiM variant
# (`SanctiM/04-26M.txt`) demotes this to a Cletus-only commemoration,
# the same "Monastic office narrows a joint feast" pattern already
# seen for `ss-vincent-and-anastasius.yml` — real proper text about
# both martyrs is used here per vu-prefer-text-over-missing, not the
# rank-driven demotion.
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/04-26.txt, English/Sancti/04-26.txt.
# Lectio4 (Cletus's own vita) and Lectio5 (Marcellinus's, a genuinely
# distinct martyr) kept split; Lectio6 (St. Ambrose's sermon on the
# Easter-season martyrs generally) is its own distinct source, kept
# separate too. No responsory given in the source.

        Cletus Romanus, patre Æmiliano, de regione quinta, e vico Patricio, imperatoribus
        Vespasiano et Tito, Ecclesiam gubernavit. Is ex præcepto Principis Apostolorum in Urbe
        viginti quinque presbyteros ordinavit. Primus in litteris verbis illis usus est: Salutem
        et apostolicam benedictionem. Qui Ecclesia optime constituta, cum ei præfuísset annos
        duodecim, menses septem, dies duos, Domitiano imperatore, secunda post Neronem
        persecutione, martyrio coronatus est, et in Vaticano juxta corpus beati Petri sepultus.

        Cletus was a Roman, the son of Emilian, of the Fifth Region of the city, and the street
        called Noble. He ruled the Church in the time of the Emperors Vespasian and Titus. In
        accordance with the precept of the Prince of the Apostles He ordained twenty-five Priests
        for the city. He was the first Pope who made use in his letters of the phrase "Health and
        Apostolic Benediction." When he had ruled the Church for twelve years, seven months, and
        two days, and brought it into an excellent state of order, in the reign of the Emperor
        Domitian, and the second persecution since the time of Nero, he was crowned with
        martyrdom, and buried on the Vatican mount, hard by the body of blessed Peter.

        Marcellinus Romanus, ab anno ducentesimo nonagesimo sexto ad annum trecentesimum quartum
        in immani imperatoris Diocletiani persecutione Ecclesiæ præfuit. Multas pertulit
        angustias ob improbam eorum severitatem, qui eum redarguebant de nimia indulgentia erga
        lapsos in idololatriam, quæque causa fuit, ut per calumniam infamatus fuerit, quasi thus
        idolis adhibuisset. Verum hic beatus Pontifex in confessione fidei, una cum tribus aliis
        Christianis, Claudio, Cyrino et Antonino, capite plexus est. Quorum projecta corpora, cum
        triginta sex dies jussu imperatoris sepultura caruissent, beatus Marcellus a sancto Petro
        in somnis admonitus, cum presbyteris et diaconis, hymnis et luminibus adhibitis,
        honorifice sepelienda curavit in cœmeterio Priscillæ via Salaria. Rexit Ecclesiam annos
        septem, menses undecim, dies viginti tres: quo tempore fecit ordinationes duas mense
        Decembri, quibus creavit presbyteros quatuor, episcopos per diversa loca quinque.

        Marcellinus was a Roman; he ruled the Church from the year 296 to the year 304, during the
        savage persecution which was ordered by the Emperor Diocletian. He suffered through the
        false severity of those who blamed him as being too indulgent toward them who had fallen
        into idolatry, and for this reason also hath been slandered to the effect that he himself
        burnt incense to idols; but this blessed Pope, on account of his confession of the faith,
        was put to death along with three other Christians, whose names are Claudius, Cyrinus, and
        Antoninus. At the command of the Emperor their bodies were cast out unburied, and lay so
        for thirty-six days. At the end of that time St. Peter appeared in a dream to Blessed
        Marcellus, and in obedience to his command the said Marcellus went with certain Priests
        and Deacons, singing hymns, and carrying lights, and buried these four bodies honourably
        in the Cemetery of Priscilla upon the Salarian Way. Marcellinus ruled the Church for seven
        years, eleven months, and twenty-three days. During this time he held two Advent
        ordinations, and ordained at them four Priests, and five Bishops for diverse Sees.

        Dignum et congruum est, fratres, ut post lætitiam Paschæ, quam in Ecclesia celebravimus,
        gaudia nostra cum sanctis Martyribus conferamus: et iis annuntiemus Dominicæ
        resurrectionis gloriam, qui consortes sunt Dominicæ passionis. Qui enim socii sunt
        contumeliæ, debent et participes esse lætitiæ. Ita enim dicit beatus Apostolus: Sicut
        socii passionum estis, et resurrectionis eritis; si tolerabimus, inquit, et
        conregnabimus. Qui ergo toleraverunt mala propter Christum, debent et gloriam habere cum
        Christo.

        Dearly beloved brethren, it is very meet and right that after the gladness of Easter,
        which we have celebrated in the Church, we should mingle our own joy with the joy of the
        holy Martyrs; yea, that we should tell of the glory of the Lord's rising again, to them
        that have been made partakers of the Lord's sufferings. It truly must needs be that they
        which have been partakers of His sufferings, should be also of His joy. For thus saith the
        blessed Apostle: As ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the
        consolation. And again: If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him. He, therefore, that
        endureth sorrow for Christ, must needs also have glory with Christ.
