# Matins Nocturn 2 readings for St. Polycarp, Bishop and Martyr (Jan 26)
|
||||
# — pre-1955-but-post-1617 (no SanctiM/01-26*.txt at all).

# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/01-26.txt, English/Sancti/01-26.txt.
|
||||
# Lectio4 (St. Jerome's biographical note, De Scriptoribus Ecclesiasticis
|
||||
# cap. 17) is a genuinely distinct source from Lectio5-6 (a cross-ref,
|
||||
# `@Sancti/07-13:Lectio5/6` — St. Ambrose's Exposition on Psalm 118,
|
||||
# borrowed from St. Anacletus's own file but proper to this day too) —
|
||||
# kept as two separate readings. Lectio5-6 combined into one (continuous,
|
||||
# no internal break). Lectio7-9 are Common-of-a-Martyr (skipped, not
|
||||
# proper). No responsory given in either source file.

Polycárpus, Joánnis Apóstoli discípulus et ab eo Smyrnæ epíscopus ordinátus, totíus Asiæ
|
||||
princeps fuit, quippe qui nonnúllos Apostolórum et eórum qui víderant Dóminum, magístros
|
||||
habúerit et víderit. Hic propter quasdam super die Paschæ quæstiónes, sub imperatóre
|
||||
Antoníno Pio, Ecclésiam in Urbe regénte Anicéto, Romam venit; ubi plúrimos credéntium,
|
||||
Marciónis et Valentíni persuasióne decéptos, redúxit ad fidem. Cumque ei fortúito óbviam
|
||||
fuísset Márcion et díceret: Cognóscis nos? respóndit: Cognósco primogénitum diáboli. Póstea
|
||||
vero, regnánte Marco Antoníno et Lúcio Aurélio Cómmodo, quarta post Nerónem persecutióne,
|
||||
Smyrnæ, sedénte procónsule et univérso pópulo in amphitheátro advérsus eum personánte, igni
|
||||
tráditus est. Scripsit ad Philippénses valde útilem epístolam, quæ usque hódie in Asiæ
|
||||
convéntu légitur.

Polycarp was a disciple of the Apostle John, and was consecrated by him Bishop of Smyrna. He
|
||||
was reckoned the chief of all the Christians of Asia, because he had been taught by several
|
||||
of the Apostles, and other persons who had seen the Lord. During the reign of the Emperor
|
||||
Antoninus Pius, and while Anicetus presided over the Church of Rome, Polycarp came thither
|
||||
to discuss some questions regarding the time for observing Easter. He found some heretics
|
||||
at Rome, who had been led astray by the doctrine of Marcion and Valentine, and brought back
|
||||
many of them to the faith. One day Marcion met him by accident, and said to him: Do you
|
||||
recognise me? whereto he replied: I recognise the devil's eldest son. Some time after, in
|
||||
the reign of Mark Antonine and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, during the fourth persecution
|
||||
since Nero, when the Pro-consul was ruling in Smyrna, the whole population being assembled
|
||||
in the theatre, clamoured against Polycarp, and to please them he was burnt. He wrote an
|
||||
extremely useful Epistle to the Philippians, which is publicly read in the Churches of Asia
|
||||
even to this day.

Principes persecuti sunt me gratis: et a verbis tuis trepidavit cor meum. Bene hoc Martyr
|
||||
dicit, quod injuste persecutionum tormenta sustineat: qui nihil rapuerit, nullum violentus
|
||||
oppresserit, nullius sanguinem fuderit, nullius torum putaverit esse violandum: qui nihil
|
||||
legibus debeat, et graviora latronum sustinere cogatur supplicia: qui loquatur juste, et non
|
||||
audiatur: qui loquatur plena salutis, et impugnetur: ut possit dicere, Cum loquebar illis,
|
||||
impugnabant me gratis. Gratis igitur persecutionem patitur, qui impugnatur sine crimine
|
||||
impugnatur ut noxius, cum sit in tali confessione laudabilis: impugnatur quasi veneficus,
|
||||
qui in nomine Domini gloriatur, cum pietas virtutum omnium fundamentum sit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Vere frustra impugnatur, qui apud impios et infidos impietatis arcessitur, cum fidei sit
|
||||
magister. Verum qui gratis impugnatur, fortis debet esse et constans, quomodo ergo
|
||||
subtexuit: Et a verbis tuis trepidavit cor meum? Trepidare infirmitatis est, timoris atque
|
||||
formidinis. Sed est étiam infirmitas ad salutem, est étiam timor sanctorum. Timete Dominum
|
||||
omnes sancti ejus: et, Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum. Qua ratione beatus? Quia in mandatis
|
||||
ejus cupit nimis.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. These
|
||||
are rightly the words of a martyr, who beareth unjustly the torments of the persecutors,
|
||||
who hath robbed no man, who hath violently oppressed no man, who hath shed the blood of no
|
||||
man, who hath imagined to defile the bed of no man, who is debtor to the laws in nothing,
|
||||
and who is punished more grievously than if he were a robber: who speaketh righteousness,
|
||||
and there is none that will hear: who speaketh salvation, and all men fight against him: who
|
||||
is able to say: "When I spoke unto them, they fought against me without a cause." (Ps.
|
||||
cxix. 7.) They fight against him without a cause, who can lay no sin to his charge; they
|
||||
fight against him as an evildoer, who is by their own acknowledgment righteous: they fight
|
||||
against him as a warlock, who glorieth in the name of the Lord, and who doeth all things
|
||||
well because he doeth all things for God's sake.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Verily, him that is fought against without a cause it behoveth to be strong and patient.
|
||||
Wherefore then saith he: My heart standeth in awe of thy word? Awe is the mark of the weak,
|
||||
the timid, and the fearful. But there is also a weakness unto salvation, there is a fear
|
||||
which is an holy fear. O fear the Lord, all ye His Saints. (Ps. xxxiii. 10.) And again:
|
||||
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord. (Ps. cxi. 1.) And wherefore is he blessed? because
|
||||
he delighteth greatly in His commandments.
