Sts. Marcellus I, Paul the Hermit, Marius/Martha/Audifax/Abachum, Emerentiana, Timothy, Polycarp, and Agnes (second feast) — sourced from the reference engine's Tridentine/Divino Afflatu track since none of these saints existed in the Monastic 1617 calendar this app otherwise follows.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Paul the First Hermit (vu's calendar:
|
||||
# Jan 19, displaced from the general calendar's Jan 15 to make room for
|
||||
# St. Maurus there per Monastic practice — see memory
|
||||
# vu-matins-pre1955-saints's "critical wrinkle"). Source is therefore
|
||||
# off-date: web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/01-15.txt and
|
||||
# English/Sancti/01-15.txt (NOT 01-19.txt, which is a different saint in
|
||||
# the general calendar — Ss. Marius/Martha/Audifax/Abachum, sourced
|
||||
# separately).
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Lectio4-6 is one continuous narrative (the encounter with St. Anthony),
|
||||
# no internal source break, so combined into a single reading per the
|
||||
# project's recombine rule. Lectio94 (the reduced-office alternate
|
||||
# summary) is skipped, same as Marcellus.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Not authored here: Nocturn 3. The source file's own Lectio7-9 are
|
||||
# themselves a cross-reference (`@Sancti/02-24:Lectio7` etc.) to St.
|
||||
# Matthias's Gospel+homily (Matt 11:25-30 + St. Augustine, Sermon 10 on
|
||||
# the Words of the Lord) — genuinely part of Paul's day, but that source
|
||||
# file gives only the Gospel incipit ("Et réliqua"), no full pericope
|
||||
# text and no responsory of its own to transcribe from. Deferred rather
|
||||
# than fabricated; the bulk Vulgate/Douay-Rheims import (see TODO.md)
|
||||
# would resolve the Gospel side of this gap directly.

Paulus, eremitárum auctor et magister, apud inferiórem Thebáidem natus, cum quindecim esset
|
||||
annórum, orbátus paréntibus est. Qui postea declinandæ causa persecutiónis Decii et
|
||||
Valeriáni, et Deo liberius inserviéndi, in eremi spelúncam se cóntulit: ubi, palma ei
|
||||
victum et vestítum præbente, vixit ad centésimum et décimum tertium annum, quo témpore ab
|
||||
Antonio nonagenario Dei admónitu invísitur. Quibus inter se, cum ántea non nossent, proprio
|
||||
nómine consalutántibus, et multa de regno Dei colloquéntibus, corvus, qui ántea semper
|
||||
Paulo dimidiátum panem attulerat, integrum détulit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Post corvi discessum, Eja, inquit Paulus, Dóminus nobis prandium misit, vere pius, vere
|
||||
miséricors. Sexagínta jam anni sunt, cum accipio quotídie dimidii panis fragméntum, nunc ad
|
||||
advéntum tuum milítibus suis Christus duplicávit annonam. Quare cum gratiárum actióne ad
|
||||
fontem capiéntes cibum, ubi tantisper recreáti sunt, íterum gratiis de more Deo actis,
|
||||
noctem in divinis laudibus consumpsérunt. Dilúculo Paulus de morte, quæ sibi instaret,
|
||||
ádmonens Antónium, hortátur, ut pallium, quod ab Athanasio acceperat, ad involvéndum suum
|
||||
corpus afferret. Quo ex itinere rédiens ille, vidit inter Angelórum choros, inter
|
||||
Prophetárum et Apostolórum cœtus Pauli ánimam in cælum ascendere.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Cumque ad ejus cellam pervenísset, invénit genibus complicatis, erecta cervice, exténsisque
|
||||
in altum mánibus corpus exanime: quod pallio obvolvens, hymnosque et psalmos ex christiana
|
||||
traditióne decantans, cum sárculum, quo terram fóderet, non haberet, duo leones ex
|
||||
interiore erémo rápido cursu ad beáti senis corpus ferúntur; ut facile intelligerétur, eos,
|
||||
quo modo póterant, plorátum édere: qui certatim terram pédibus effodiéntes, fóveam, quæ
|
||||
hóminem commode cáperet, effecérunt. Qui cum abiísent, Antonius sanctum corpus in eum locum
|
||||
íntulit; et injecta humo, tumulum ex christiáno more compósuit: túnicam vero Pauli, quam in
|
||||
sportæ modum ex palmæ foliis ille sibi contexúerat, secum áuferens, eo vestítu diébus
|
||||
solemnibus Paschæ et Pentecostes, quoad vixit, usus est.

Paul the first hermit, and model of all others, was a native of the lower Thebaid in Egypt.
|
||||
At the age of fifteen years he lost both his parents. In order to escape from the
|
||||
persecution of Decius and Valerian, and to serve God in quietness, he betook himself to a
|
||||
cave in the desert. Here there was a palm-tree, on the fruit of which he lived, and of
|
||||
whose leaves he made his raiment until he attained the age of 113 years. At that time
|
||||
Anthony, being now himself aged 90 years, received a command from God to go and see him.
|
||||
They met without knowing one another's names, and saluted one another, after which they
|
||||
fell straightway into a long discourse concerning the kingdom of God. Now it so happened
|
||||
that a raven had of a long time brought Paul every day half a loaf, but on this day while
|
||||
they spake together he brought a whole one.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When the raven had flown away, Well, quoth Paul, the Lord hath sent us our dinner. Truly He
|
||||
is gracious; truly He is merciful. It is now sixty years that I have had half a loaf of
|
||||
bread every day, but now that thou art come, Christ giveth His soldiers double rations.
|
||||
Then they asked a blessing, and ate together, sitting by a spring. When they were
|
||||
refreshed, they returned thanks, as is the custom, and afterwards spent the whole night
|
||||
praising God. At break of day Paul felt the approach of death, and desired Anthony to bring
|
||||
the cloak which Athanasius had given him, to use for his winding-sheet. While Anthony was
|
||||
on his way back from this journey, he saw in a vision the soul of Paul ascending to heaven,
|
||||
surrounded by choirs of angels, and accompanied by the Prophets and Apostles.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When Anthony reached the cell of Paul, he found the dead body of the Saint in a kneeling
|
||||
posture, with the head thrown up and the hands stretched out towards heaven. He immediately
|
||||
began to chant the psalms and hymns ordained by Christian tradition, while he wrapped the
|
||||
body in the cloak of Athanasius. He had no spade to dig a grave, but two lions came roaring
|
||||
from the desert, as though to attend the burying, and scratched a hole big enough to hold a
|
||||
man's body, with their paws, showing meanwhile such signs of grief as their nature alloweth.
|
||||
When they were gone away, Anthony put the holy body in this hole, covered it with earth,
|
||||
and arranged it like a Christian's grave. He took away for himself Paul's tunic, which he
|
||||
had woven out of the palm-leaves somewhat after the manner of basket-work, and this tunic
|
||||
Anthony was in the habit of wearing on the great days of the Passover and Pentecost as long
|
||||
as he lived.
