Faustinus et Jovita fratres, nobiles Brixiani, in multis Italiæ urbibus, quo vincti sæviente
|
||||
Trajani persecutione ducebantur, acerbissima supplicia perpessi, fortes in christianæ fidei
|
||||
confessione perstiterunt. Nam Brixiæ diu vinculis constricti, feris étiam objecti in
|
||||
ignemque conjecti, et a bestiis et a flamma íntegri et incolumes servati sunt. Inde vero
|
||||
eisdem catenis colligati Mediolanum venerunt; ubi eorum fides tentata exquisitissimis
|
||||
tormentis, tamquam igne aurum, in cruciatibus magis enituit. Postea Romam missi, ab Evaristo
|
||||
Pontifice confirmati, ibi quoque crudelissime torquentur. Denique perducti Neápolim, in ea
|
||||
étiam urbe varie cruciati, vinctis manibus pedibusque in mare demerguntur; unde per Angelos
|
||||
mirabiliter erepti sunt. Quare multos et constantia in tormentis et miraculorum virtute ad
|
||||
Christi fidem converterunt. Postrémo reducti Brixiam initio suscepti ab Hadriano imperii,
|
||||
securi percussi, illustrem martyrii coronam acceperunt.

Faustinus and Jovita were brothers, born of a noble family at Brescia. While Trajan's
|
||||
persecution was raging, they were taken about in chains from one city of Italy to another,
|
||||
and exhibited in torture in each. This cruelty utterly failed to silence their confession
|
||||
of Christ, Whom they preached by their sufferings in every place where they were shown.
|
||||
They were afterwards kept for a long time at Brescia, where they were exhibited with wild
|
||||
beasts, and tormented with fire. Being both still alive, they were brought to Milan, without
|
||||
their chains having ever been taken off. At Milan they were tortured again with every
|
||||
invention of cruelty that could be devised. Nevertheless the great power of their faith made
|
||||
them more than conquerors, shining even as gold tried in the furnace. From Milan they were
|
||||
brought to Rome, where they were confirmed by Pope Evaristus, and where they were put to the
|
||||
torture again with extreme barbarity. They were afterwards shown in public at Naples, where
|
||||
the tormentors displayed their skill in diverse ways upon them. Here they were thrown
|
||||
chained into the sea, but the angels delivered them. Their stations of suffering, by their
|
||||
God-like patience, and the wonderful power displayed in them, had now turned many souls to
|
||||
Jesus. In the end they were carried back to Brescia, and, when Hadrian took the empire, they
|
||||
were put to death by the axe at that place. The crown of martyrdom which they won is
|
||||
glorious.

Apollónia virgo Alexandrína, sub Décio imperatóre, cum ingravescénte jam ætáte ad idóla
|
||||
sisterétur, ut eis veneratiónem adhibéret; illis contémptis, Jesum Christum verum Deum
|
||||
coléndum esse prædicábat. Quam ob rem omnes ei contúsi sunt et evúlsi dentes; ac, nisi
|
||||
Christum detestáta deos cóleret, accénso rogo combustúros vivam mináti sunt ímpii carnífices.
|
||||
Quibus illa, se quamvis mortem pro Jesu Christi fide subitúram, respóndit. Itaque
|
||||
comprehénsa ut comburerétur, cum paulísper, quasi delíberans quid agéndum esset, stetísset,
|
||||
ex illórum mánibus elápsa, álacris in ignem sibi parátum, majóri Spíritus Sancti flamma
|
||||
intus accénsa, se injécit. Unde brevi, consúmpto córpore, puríssimus spíritus in cælum ad
|
||||
sempitérnam martyrii corónam evolávit.

Apollonia was an aged virgin of Alexandria, who, in the reign of the Emperor Decius, was
|
||||
brought before the idols to worship them, but refused, declaring that Christ Jesus is True
|
||||
God, and that to Him worship is due. The cruel executioners beat and pulled out all her
|
||||
teeth, and threatened to burn her alive if she would not deny Christ. To whom she answered,
|
||||
that for Christ Jesus' sake she was ready to die. Being taken to the place of execution she
|
||||
stood for a few moments as if in doubt, and then, the fire of the Holy Ghost burning up in
|
||||
her heart, she broke from those that held her, and leapt of her own accord into the flames.
|
||||
Her body was quickly consumed, and her soul departed pure to obtain the eternal crown of
|
||||
martyrdom.

Blásius, Sebáste in Arménia cum virtútum laude floréret, ejúsdem civitátis epíscopus
|
||||
elígitur. Qui, quo témpore Diocletiánus insatiábilem crudelitátem in Christiános exercébat,
|
||||
se in spelúncam ábdidit montis Argǽi; ubi támdiu látuit, dum ab Agricolái prǽsidis milítibus
|
||||
venántibus deprehénsus et ad prǽsidem ductus, ejus jussu conjéctus est in víncula. Quo in
|
||||
loco multos ægrótos sanávit, qui ad Blásium, ejus fama sanctitátis addúcti, deferebántur. In
|
||||
illis puer fuit, qui, desperáta a médicis salúte, transvérsa spina fáucibus inhærénte,
|
||||
ánimam agébat. Prodúctus autem ad prǽsidem Blásius semel et íterum, cum nec blandítiis nec
|
||||
minis addúci posset, ut diis sacrificáret, primum virgis cæsus, deínde in equúleo férreis
|
||||
pectínibus dilaniátus est; postrémo, dempto cápite, illústre fídei testimónium Christo

This Blaise was chosen Bishop of the city of Sebaste in Armenia, in which place he enjoyed
|
||||
a great reputation for virtue. When Diocletian began to make the Christians the objects of
|
||||
his insatiable cruelty, the Saint hid himself in a cave on Mount Argaeus, where he lay till
|
||||
he was found by some of the soldiers of Agricolaus the governor, who were out hunting. He
|
||||
was brought before the governor, who commanded him to be thrown into irons. While he was in
|
||||
prison, Blaise healed many of the sick, who were brought to him on account of his
|
||||
reputation of saintliness, and among others a boy who had been despaired of by the
|
||||
physicians, and who was at the point of death, from a fish bone which had become fixed in
|
||||
his throat. Blaise appeared twice before the governor, but neither cajolements nor threats
|
||||
could induce him to sacrifice to the gods. He was first beaten with rods, and afterwards put
|
||||
on the rack, where his flesh was mangled with iron combs. At last his head was cut off,
|
||||
whereby he finished a noble testimony to the faith which is in Christ our Lord. He bore
|
||||
witness on the 3rd day of February.
