She learned the + counsel of God announced to her by the Angel, lest the unwonted + events should alarm her. The future Mother of God knew what was + to be wrought in her by the Holy Ghost, and that her modesty + was absolutely safe. For why should she, unto whom was promised + all sufficient strength through the power of the Highest, have + felt hopeless merely because of the unexampled character of + such a conception? She believeth, and her belief is confirmed + by the attestation of a miracle which hath already been + wrought. The fruitfulness of Elizabeth, before unhoped for, is + brought forward that she might not doubt that he who had given + conception unto her that was barren, would give the same unto + her that was Virgin. And so the Word of God, the Son of God, + who was in the beginning with God, by whom all things were + made, and without whom was not anything made that was made, to + deliver man from eternal death, was made man. + + + Our Lord Jesus Christ, descending from his throne in heaven, + but leaving not that glory which he hath with the Father, + cometh into this lower world by being born after a new order + and in a new birth. He cometh after a new order, in that he + who is unseen among his own, was seen among us; the + Incomprehensible was fain to be comprehended, and he that is + from everlasting to everlasting began to be in time. He was + the Offspring of a new birth; conceived of a maiden, without + the passion of any fleshly father, without any breach of his + Mother's virginity, since such a birth beseemed the coming + Saviour of mankind, who was to have in him the nature of man's + being, and to be free of any defilement of man's flesh. Though + he sprung not as we spring, yet is his nature as our nature; we + believe that he is free from the use and custom of men; but it + was the power of God which wrought that a maiden should + conceive, that a maiden should bring forth, and yet abide a + maiden still. + + + In the year 1931, amid the applause of the whole Catholic + world, solemn rites were celebrated to mark the completion of + the fifteen centuries which had elapsed since the Council of + Ephesus, moving against the Nestorian heresy, had acclaimed the + blessed Virgin Mary, of whom Jesus was born, as Mother of God. + This acclamation had been made by the Fathers of the Church + under the leadership of Pope Celestine. Pius XI, as Supreme + Pontiff, wished to commemorate the notable event and to give + lasting proof of his devotion to Mary. Now there had existed + for many years in Rome a grand memorial to the proclamation of + Ephesus, the triumphal arch in the basilica of Saint Mary Major + on the Esquiline Hill. This monument had already been adorned + by a previous pontiff, Sixtus III, with mosaics of marvelous + workmanship, now falling to pieces from the decay of the + passing ages. Pius XI, therefore, out of his own munificence, + caused these to be restored most exquisitely and with them the + transept of the basilica. In an Encyclical Letter Pius set + forth also the true history of the Council of Ephesus, and + expounded fervently and at great length the doctrine of the + prerogatives of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Mother of God. + Finally, that no liturgical detail be lacking, he decreed that + the feast of the Divine Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary + be celebrated annually on the 11th day of October by the + universal Church with a proper Mass and Office under the rite + of a double of the second class. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Homily 1 in Praise of the Virgin Mother" + text: + la: >- + Deum et Dóminum Angelórum María suum fílium appéllat, dicens: + Fili, quid fecísti nobis sic?

It is enough for them, and they reckon it is a great + thing, that, being naturally spirits, they should receive the + grace of being made and called angels, as witness David: Who + maketh spirits his angels. But Mary, knowing herself to be his + Mother, doth boldly apply the word Son to that Majesty whom the + angels do serve with awe; neither doth God despise to be + called what he hath made himself.

Either is amazing, either marvelous. + That God should obey this woman, is a lowliness without + parallel; that this woman should rule over God, an exaltation + without match.

That + he should succeed to the Kingdom was shown by the Lord in a + trance to a most holy man named Brithwald. When he was ten + years old the Danes, who were ravaging England, sought him, to + put him to death, and he was driven into exile to dwell with + his mother's brother, Duke of Normandy, at whose Court he lived + among all the allurements of vice a life of such uprightness + and innocency as made all men to marvel. He was a burning and + shining light for love of God and the things of God, very + gentle-hearted, and quite free from any lust for power. Of him + the saying is preserved, That he would liefer not be a King + than win a kingdom through slaughter and blood. + + + When the Danish tyrants, who had robbed his brothers Edmund and + Alfred of life and kingdom, were passed away, Edward was called + back into his own country and with the hearty good-will and + rejoicing of all, took the kingdom, being then about forty + years old. He set himself to repair the breaches which wars had + made, and began with the things of God. Of the Churches of the + Saints, he built some altogether, and renewed others and + gifted them with incomes and privileges, being chiefly fain + that religion should rise from the low estate whereinto it had + fallen. He was brought by the nobles of his Court to marry, but + it is constantly said by all writers that in matrimony he + remained a virgin with a virgin bride. So great was his love + toward Christ, and so strong his faith, that somewhiles when + the Mass was in saying, he won to see Him, with countenance + full of grace, and glory of God's light. By reason of the + abundance of his charity he was styled everywhere the father of + orphans and of the poor, and he was never happier than when he + had spent upon the needy the whole of his kingly treasures. + + + He was famous for the gift of prophecy, and foretold by + inspiration from heaven many things that were to befall + England. Of this gift the following is a remarkable instance. + Sweyn, King of the Danes, was embarking on ship-board with the + mind to invade England, when he fell into the sea and was + drowned, and God made known his death to Edward at the very + same moment that it happened. He had a wonderful love toward + John the Evangelist, so that he was used never to refuse + anything for the which he was asked in his name. The + Evangelist appeared to him once while in tattered raiment, + and, in his own name, asked him for an alms. It befell that the + King had no money, wherefore he took a ring from off his finger + and gifted him therewith. Not long afterward, the Evangelist + sent the same ring back to him by a pilgrim, with a message + concerning his death, which was then at hand.

He + passed his boyhood at home in great innocence and godliness, and + was still more remarkable for his Christian graces and the + hardness of his living, at the Court of the Emperor Charles V., + and as Vice-Roy of Catalonia. The Empress Isabella died, and + Francis, as her master of the horse, was commanded to attend + her body to Granada, where it was to be buried, and the sight + of the awful change which death had made in her countenance so + thrilled him with the thought of our mortality and corruption, + that he bound himself by vow, as soon as he lawfully might, to + give up all things, and to serve the King of kings only. From + that time he so advanced in Christian graces, that his life + might be called the miracle of princes, showing, in the midst + of a vast mass of business, an image of perfection attained in + a cloister. + + + His wife, Eleanora de Castro, died, and he entered the Society + of Jesus, that therein he might hide himself more safely, and + bar by the obligation of a vow the path to dignities. He was + the worthy leader of many princes who have embraced a life of + hardship, and Charles V. himself when he resigned the Empire + did not deny that he had been moved and shown the way by + Francis. In his struggle after austerity Francis, by fasting, + by iron chains, by the roughest of hair-cloth, by long and + bloody flagellations, and by denying himself any but very + little sleep, reduced his body to the last degree, but would + still spare no toil to overcome himself and to save souls. Thus + full of ghostly strength, he was appointed by holy Ignatius + Commissary-General of the Society in Spain, Portugal, and the + Indies, and, notwithstanding all the precautions he could take + to prevent it, he was chosen by the general Congregation of the + Society to be General, being the third who held that office. + + + He thought so little of himself that he gave himself the + nickname of Francis the sinner. By the Popes he was oftentimes + offered the dignity of Cardinal of the Roman Church, but the + lowly firmness with which he refused it could never be + overcome. In his cheap esteem of the world and of himself his + chief pleasures were to clean the house, to beg for food from + door to door, and to wait upon the sick in hospitals. He spent + many hours every day, oftentimes eight and sometimes ten, in + prayer and meditation. An hundred times every day he worshipped + God upon his knees. He never missed the opportunity of offering + the Holy Liturgy, and the fire from God which burnt within him + sometimes shone forth in his countenance when he was lifting + the Sacred Host, or preaching. By an inward power given him + from God he could tell where the most Holy Body of Christ, + under the Eucharistic veils, was kept. The blessed Pius V. sent + Francis with the Cardinal Alexandrini on an embassy to unite + the Christian Princes against Turkey. His vital strength was + then nearly worn out, but, through obedience, he undertook the + toil of the journey.

By his gentleness, innocency, and + seriousness he gave great hopes even from his childhood. He + studied Philosophy and Theology in the University of Krakow, + wherein he rose step by step to be a Professor and teacher of + those sciences wherein he lectured many years, not only + enlightening the minds of his hearers, but stirring up in them + all godliness, instructing them by example as well as by word. + Having taken Priests' orders, he ceased not to busy himself + with letters, but added thereto the striving after Christian + perfection. He grieved exceedingly that God should be offended + on all hands, and offered up to Him, day by day, not without + many tears, the Unbloody Sacrifice for a propitiation for + himself and for his people. He was for some years a faithful + Parish Priest at Ilkusi, but after a while gave it up for fear + of the danger of souls, and accepted the call of the + University to take up again his Professorship. + + + What time was left him over from his work, he gave up partly + to the profit of his neighbour, more especially in preaching, + and partly in prayer, wherein he is said sometimes to have had + heavenly visions and messages. The sufferings of Christ took + such hold upon him, that he sometimes passed whole nights + without sleep in thinking thereon, and that he might more + keenly realize them, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. There + he was seized with such a passionate longing to be a martyr, + that he preached Christ crucified even to the Turks. He went + four times to Rome to the thresholds of the Apostles, on foot, + and laden with a wallet, partly to do honour to the Apostolic + See, for which he had a great reverence, and partly to use his + own expression, that he might clear off the pains of his own + purgatory by use of the Pardons for sin which are there daily + offered. In one of these journeys he was set upon by highway + robbers, who plundered him, and having asked him if he had + any more, whereto he answered, Nay, left him and fled. Then he + remembered that he had some gold pieces sewn up in his + clothes. So he ran after the robbers with shouts, and offered + them these also, but they were so amazed at the simplicity + and charity of the holy man, that they gave him back even that + which they had already taken. To hinder scandal-mongering, he + wrote up upon the walls, after the example of holy Augustine, + certain texts, to be an unceasing warning to himself and + others. He gave his own bread to the hungry, and clothed the + naked, not with bought raiment only, but by stripping himself + of his own garments and shoes, himself meanwhile letting down + his own cloak to trail upon the ground, lest any should see + that he returned home barefoot. + + + He slept very little, and that upon the ground; his clothing + was enough only to clothe his nakedness, and his food to keep + him alive. He kept his virgin purity guarded like a lily + among thorns by rough hair-cloth, scourging, and fasting. For + about thirty-five years before his death he never tasted + flesh-meat. At length, when he was full of days and good + works, he felt that death was near, and made himself ready to + meet it by a long and careful preparation, and to be the + freer, he gave to the poor everything that was left in his + house. Strengthened by the Sacraments of the Church, and + having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, he took + flight to heaven upon the day before his Nativity. He was + famous for miracles both before and after his death. His body + was carried into the University Church of St. Anne, hard by + his dwelling, and there honourably buried. The popular + reverence and the crowds around his sepulchre grew greater day + by day, till he hath come to be held in honour as one of the + chiefest holy defenders of Poland and Lithuania. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-margaret-mary-alacoque.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-margaret-mary-alacoque.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..addb47d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-margaret-mary-alacoque.yml @@ -0,0 +1,178 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin +# (Oct 17).

From her earliest years she + gave signs of holiness. Filled with a burning love of the + Virgin Mother of God, and of the august mystery of the + Eucharist, while still a young girl she dedicated her + virginity to God. Above all else she strove to realize in her + life the performance of Christian virtues. She delighted to + spend continuous hours in prayers and in meditation upon the + things of heaven. She was humble, and patient in adversity. She + practised bodily penance. She was charitable towards her + neighbours, especially the poor. By every means within her + power she strove diligently to imitate the most holy example + left by our divine Redeemer. + + + Margaret entered the Order of the Visitation. There her life + became immediately a shining example to others. God endowed + her highly with the gift of prayer. He gave her other favours, + such as frequent visitations. The most famous of these was + that one when Jesus appeared to her as she knelt in prayer + before the Blessed Sacrament. Opening his breast, He revealed + his divine Heart glowing with flames and encircled with a + crown of thorns. He bade her in return for his excessive love + and in atonement for the insults of ungrateful men, to seek to + have established public adoration of his Heart. This devotion + he promised to enrich with treasures of heavenly grace. When, + out of humility, she hesitated to undertake so great a task, + the loving Saviour encouraged her. At the same time he pointed + out Claude de la Colombiere, a man of great holiness, as one + who could guide and help her. Our Lord also comforted her with + the assurance that very great blessings would accrue + afterwards to the Church from the worship of his divine Heart. + + + Margaret strove ardently to fulfill the Redeemer's command. + Vexations, even bitter insults, were her portion from some who + maintained that she was subject to mental aberrations. She not + only bore these sufferings patiently, she even profited by + them, offering herself in anguish and reproach as a victim + acceptable to God, bearing all things as a more sure means of + accomplishing her purpose. Renowned for her religious + perfection, becoming each day more closely united with her + divine spouse by contemplation of celestial things, she took + flight to him in the forty-third year of her age, and in the + year of restored salvation 1690.

His father was a lawyer and Governor of + the town, and his mother was of good extraction. The holiness + of his life was foreshadowed from his earliest years. In the + sixteenth year of his age he entered the Order of Friars Minor, + wherein he showed himself a pattern to all. He undertook the + work of preaching in obedience to his Superiors, and thereby + brought many to turn away from sin to true repentance. He + conceived a great desire to bring back the observance of the + Rule of St. Francis to the uttermost straitness of old times, + and to that end, supported by God's help, and armed with the + approval of the Apostolic See, he founded a new stern and poor + house near Pedraso, from which the harder way of life, therein + happily begun, spread marvellously through diverse Provinces + of Spain even to the Indies. He was an helper to holy Theresa, + with whom he was like-minded, in bringing about the + Reformation of the Carmelites. She was taught of God that no + one should ask anything in the name of Peter without being + heard, and was used to ask him to pray for her, and to call + him a Saint while as he was yet alive. + + + He humbly excused himself from accepting the courtesies of + princes, by whom his advice was sought as that of an oracle, + and declined to become the Confessor of the Emperor Charles V. + He was a very careful keeper to poverty, and contented himself + with a single tunic than which none was worse. Purity he + carried to such a point that when he was lying sick of his + last illness, he would not allow the brother who ministered to + him to touch him, how lightly soever. He brought his body into + bondage by unceasing watching, fasting, scourging, cold, + nakedness, and all manner of hardships, having made it a + promise never to allow it any rest in this world. The love of + God and his neighbour, which was shed abroad in his heart, + somewhiles burnt so that he was fain to run from his cell into + the open air to cool himself. + + + He was marvellous how his thoughts became altogether rapt in + God, so that somewhiles it befell that he neither ate nor + drank for the space of several days. He was oftentimes seen to + rise into the air, shining with an unearthly glory. He passed + dry-shod over torrents. When his brethren were in the last + state of need, he fed them with food from heaven. A staff + which he fixed in the earth grew presently into a green + fig-tree. Once while he was travelling by night in the midst + of an heavy snow-storm, and took refuge in a ruined and + roofless house, then the falling snow made a roof over him + lest he should be overwhelmed. Holy Theresa beareth witness + that he had the gift of prophecy and of the discerning of + spirits. At length, in the 63rd year of his own age, at the + hour which he had himself foretold, he passed away to be for + ever with the Lord, cheered in his last moments by a + wonderful vision and by the presence of Saints.

For Raphael the Healer leads us forth from + weakness of soul and brings us into the bitterness of + contrition; whence in the book of Tobit Raphael says: When + thou enterest into thy house, anoint his eyes with gall. He did + so, and he saw. Why could not Raphael do this himself? Because + an Angel does not bestow compunction, but he shows the way to + it. By gall, the bitterness of contrition is to be understood, + for it heals the inner eyes of the mind. The Psalmist says: He + healeth those that are broken in heart. This is the best eye + salve. In the second chapter of the Book of Judges it is + written that an angel came up to the place of the weepers, and + said to the people: I made you to go up out of Egypt; I have + done all of these good things for you: and all the people + wept, so that the place was called the Place of the Weepers. + Dearly beloved, all day long the Angels are telling us of + God's blessings, and recalling them to our minds: Who hath + created thee? Who hath redeemed thee? What hast thou done? + Whom hast thou offended? When thou considerest this, thine + only remedy is to weep. + + + Secondly, Raphael brings us forth from our slavery to the + devil, by recalling Christ's Passion to our mind. There is a + figure of the Passion in the sixth chapter of Tobit, where it + is said that if a piece of the heart is put on the embers, its + smoke will drive out all kinds of devils. It is said in the + eighth chapter of Tobit that Tobias put a piece of the heart on + the embers, and Raphael bound the devil in the utmost parts of + Egypt. What does this mean? Was Raphael unable to bind the + devil unless the heart was put on the embers? Surely a fish's + heart could not give such strength to an Angel? By no means! + It would be impossible unless there was a mystery in this. We + are to understand that nothing so frees us from the devil's + slavery as the Passion of Christ, which issued from the root + of his heart, or of his love. For the heart is the fountain, + or hot centre, of all life. Therefore if thou puttest the heart + of Christ, that is the Passion, that he underwent, issuing + from the root of charity and the fountain of heat, on the + embers, that is, on the flame of memory: then immediately the + devil will be bound, and he will be unable to hurt thee. + + + Thirdly Raphael delivers us from God's displeasure, which we + incur by transgressing against God; he does this by leading us + to instant prayer: and this is what Raphael said to Tobit in + the twelfth chapter: When thou didst pray with tears, I did + bring your prayers before the Lord. For the Angels reconcile us + to God, as far as they are able. The devils are accusers + before God, but the angels excuse us, when they offer our + prayers, and when they urge us to pray devoutly. In the eighth + chapter of the Revelation of St. John it is said: The smoke of + the incense ascended up before God out of the Angel's hand. + This sweet smelling incense is the prayer of the saints. Dost + thou wish to appease God, whom thou hast offended? Then pray + devoutly. They offer thy prayer, so that they may reconcile + thee to God. It is said in the Gospel of St. Luke, that Christ + being in an agony, prayed more earnestly, and there appeared + an Angel of the Lord strengthening him. And all of this was + done for our sake: for he had no need of strengthening, but it + was to show that the Angels willingly assist those who pray + devoutly, and help and strengthen them, and bring their + prayers before God. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. John Chrysostom, Homily 35 (or 36) on John" + text: + la: >- + Quis hic curatiónis modus? quale mystérium subindicátur? + Neque enim sine causa hæc scripta sunt; sed futura nobis quasi + in figura et imagine describit, ne, si res stupenda accideret + inexspéctata, auditórum multórum fidem aliquátenus + labefactáret.

What does it reveal? for it is + not written without a purpose: but the future is foretold in + figure and similitude lest the unexpected occurrence of a + wondrous event should in any way disturb the faith of the + hearers. What, then, is here described? In the future a + baptism was to be given, full of power and of the greatest + grace, a baptism that would wash away all sin, that would + restore life to dead men. These facts then are depicted + figuratively, in the pool and in all the other circumstances. + And first in this figure the water is set forth, which washes + away stains of the body, and those things that are not + actually dirty, though they were thought to be so, such as + coming in contact with a corpse, or a leper, and such like: it + is to be seen that many things under the old law are cleansed + by water, in accordance with this idea. + + + But let us now return to the subject. First defilements of the + body are washed out, and then God heals various infirmities by + means of water. For because God would bring us nearer to the + grace of baptism, he not only cleanses defilements but heals + diseases. For those figures which come nearest to the + reality, in baptism, the Passion, and others are seen more + clearly than the older ones. For it is the same with those + who form a king's bodyguard: they are more splendidly + apparelled than those at the other end of his equipage. And + the angel came down and troubled the water, and imbued it + with healing power; so that the Jews might learn that the Lord + of Angels had far more power to heal all the diseases of the + soul. But just as here it was not simply the natural property + of the water that healed, but it happened through the work of + the Angel: so it is not simply water that works on us, but + after the water has received the grace of the Spirit, then it + looses us from all sin. + + + Around this pool lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of + blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. But + then those who wished for healing were prevented by infirmity + from receiving it, while now everyone is able to come forward. + For the Angel does not trouble the water, but the Lord of + Angels brings all things to come to pass. We may no longer + say, While I am coming, another steppeth down before me. But + even should the whole world come, the grace would not be used + up, neither would its power nor effectual working come to an + end.

She was brought up + from the dawn of her life in the fear of God, and when still + only seven years old she gave a startling fore-cast of the + holy earnestness of her later years. The reading of the acts of + the holy martyrs so inflamed and excited her imagination, that + she ran away from her father's house, with the design of going + to Morocco and the hope there to lay down her life for the + glory of Christ Jesus and the salvation of souls. She was met + by an uncle and brought back to her mother, and was fain to + slake her thirst for martyrdom by giving to the poor all the + alms she could, and by other godly exercises, though still ever + bewailing with tears that the highest prize had been snatched + from her. Her mother died, and she besought the Most Blessed + Virgin to be a mother to her in her stead. This she gained; + thenceforth she lived always as a daughter under the shelter of + the Mother of God. In the twentieth year of her age she + withdrew herself among the nuns of St. Mary of Mount Carmel. + There she dwelt for two-and-twenty years, tormented by grievous + sicknesses and diverse temptations, and so bravely served her + time in the hardest ranks of Christ's army, starved even of + that comforting knowledge of God's reconciled love, wherein His + holy children are so commonly used even upon earth to rejoice. + + + Strengthened in the graces of an angel, the wideness of her + love embraced in its tender care the salvation of other souls + as well as of her own. To this end, under the blessing of God, + and the approbation of Pius IV., she set, first before women + and then before men, the observance of the stern Rule of the + Old Carmelites. The blessing of the Almighty and merciful Lord + did indeed rest most evidently upon this design. This penniless + virgin, helped by no man, and in the teeth of many that were + great in this world, was enabled to build two-and-thirty + houses. The darkness of unbelievers and misbelievers drew from + her unceasing tears, and she willingly gave up her own body to + God to be tortured, to soften the fury of His indignation + against them. His own love so blazed in her heart that she + attained to see an Angel run her through with a fiery spear, + and Christ Himself take her by the hand, and to hear Him say + Henceforth thou shalt love Mine honour as a wife indeed. At His + inspiration she took the extremely difficult vow to do always + that which should seem to her to be most perfect. She wrote + much, full of heavenly wisdom, whereby the minds of the + faithful are enkindled to long for the Fatherland above. + + + Earnest as were the examples of graces which she had shown, + and grievous as was the state of her body, afflicted by + disease, she still burnt with the desire of tormenting it. She + tortured it with sackcloth, chains of spikes, handfuls of + nettles, and heavy scourging. She rolled herself sometimes + among thorns, and was used to cry to God "Lord! to suffer or + to die." As long as she remained exiled from the heavenly + Fountain of eternal life, her life was to her a lingering + death. She was eminent for the gift of prophecy, and God did + indeed so pour forth His bounties upon her, that she often + cried to Him in entreaty not to bless her so as to make her + forget her sins. It was worn out rather by the fever of her + love than by the wasting of disease that she sank upon her + deathbed at Alba. She foretold the day of her own death, + received the Sacraments of the Church, and exhorted her + disciples to peace, love, and strictness in observing the + Rule, and then her soul, like a pure dove, winged its flight + to rest with God, being then 67 years of age. At her death she + had a vision of Christ Jesus surrounded by Angels. A dead tree + hard by the cell instantly broke into foliage. Her body is + untouched by corruption even unto this day, and lieth in a + sort of perfumed oil, regarded with godly reverence. She was + famous for miracles both before and after her death, and was + numbered by Gregory XV. among the Saints. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-therese-of-lisieux.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-therese-of-lisieux.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..779cff5 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-therese-of-lisieux.yml @@ -0,0 +1,254 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, +# Virgin (Oct 3).

Her + parents were estimable people, well known for their piety and + their love of God. From her earliest childhood, endowed by a + special grace of the Holy Ghost, she yearned to enter the + religious life. She promised God with the utmost sincerity that + she would deny him nothing he might ask of her. She kept this + promise faithfully to the end of her life, although she had to + suffer a great deal to keep it. Her mother died when Theresa was + but five years old. From then on the child committed herself to + the providence of God, under the vigilant care of a most tender + father and her elder sisters. Under their teaching Theresa raced + as gayly strong as a young giant along the way of perfection. At + the age of nine she was sent to school at Lisieux to the + Benedictine nuns, where she made remarkable progress in her + knowledge of divine things. In her tenth year she was ill for a + long time of a serious and mysterious malady. From this, as she + herself relateth, she was delivered only by the power of God + himself, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, + who appeared to her with a smiling countenance, and to whom + under the title of our Lady of Victories, she was constantly + making novenas. Filled with angelic fervour she prepared herself + at this time with the utmost care to receive Christ in the + sacred banquet of her first Holy Communion. + + + After being refreshed for the first time with the Eucharistic + Bread Theresa seemed to develop an insatiable hunger for the + celestial food. Then, as if by inspiration, she asked Jesus to + turn all her earthly consolation into bitterness. After that she + burned with a most tender love for Christ the Lord and for his + Church. More than anything in the world she wanted to enter the + Order of the Discalced Carmelites, where by self-sacrifice she + might assist priests, missionaries and the whole Church, and so + gain innumerable souls for Christ Jesus. All this, she promised + God would do for her, even when apparently she lay at the point + of death. Her extreme youth was an obstacle which hindered her + entrance upon the religious life. Even this she overcame by her + incredible courage of soul. She entered Carmel at Lisieux + happily at the age of fifteen. There God fashioned the heart of + Theresa in a marvellous way, teaching her to ascend to him step + by step. Imitating the hidden life of the Virgin Mary like a + well-watered garden she bore flowers of every virtue, especially + an abiding love of God and neighbour. + + + That she might please the most high God to greater degree, when + she read in Sacred Scriptures the warning, Whoever is a little + one, let him come unto me, she determined to be a little one in + spirit. As such she consecrated herself forever with childlike + confidence to God, her most loving Father. The way of spiritual + childhood, following the teachings of the Gospel, she taught to + others, especially to the novices whose training in the pursuit + of religious virtues she undertook in obedience to her + superiors. Overflowing with apostolic zeal she pointed out to a + world filled with pride and a love of vanities, the simple way + of the Gospels. Meanwhile Jesus, her spouse, inflamed her with a + desire to suffer both in soul and in body. Moreover, perceiving + that the love of God was everywhere rejected, she became filled + with grief and two years before her death, offered herself as a + victim of love to the merciful God. She writeth that she was + then wounded by a flame of fire from heaven, whereupon she + became consumed by love, rapt as it were in ecstasy. Repeating + over and over again the fervent words, My God, I love thee, she + passed on to her Spouse on the 30th day of September, in the + year 1897, at the age of twenty-four years. As she was dying she + promised that she would let fall upon earth a ceaseless shower + of roses. This promise she hath indeed fulfilled in heaven, and + her shower of roses hath continued to this very day. The + Sovereign Pontiff Pius XI added her name to the Virgins declared + Blessed and two years later, at the time of the great Jubilee, + listed her among the Saints. He also appointed and declared her + Patroness of all the missions. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "Pope St. Leo the Great, Sermon 37, on Epiphany, ch. 3-4" + text: + la: >- + Tota, dilectíssimi, christianæ sapiéntiæ disciplína, non in + abundántia verbi, non in astutia disputándi, neque in appetitu + laudis et glóriæ, sed in vera et voluntária humilitate consistit, + quam Dóminus Jesus Christus ab útero Matris usque ad supplícium + Crucis pro omni fortitúdine et elégit et docuit.

Magnum enim bonum est + nocére non nosse et maligna non sápere; quia inférre ac referre + injúriam, mundi hujus prudéntia est; némini autem malum pro + malo reddere, christianæ est æquanimitátis infantia. + + + Ad hanc vos, dilectíssimi, similtúdinem parvulórum mystérium + hodiérnæ festivitátis invitat; et hanc vobis humilitátis formam + adorátus a Magis puer Salvátor insinuat: qui, ut imitatóribus + suis quid glóriæ paráret, osténderet, ortus sui témpore éditos + martyrio consecrávit; ut in Bethlehem, ubi Christus natus est, + geniti, per communiónem ætátis consortes fíerent passiónis. + Amétur ígitur humilitas, et omnis a fidelibus vitétur elátio. + Alter álterum sibi præferat, et nemo quod suum est quærat, sed + quod alterius; ut, cum in ómnibus abundaverit afféctus + benevoléntiæ, in nullo virus inveniátur invidiæ: quóniam qui se + exáltat humiliábitur, et qui se humíliat exaltábitur. + en: >- + The whole teaching of Christian wisdom consisteth, dearly + beloved, not in an abundance of words, not in skill in + disputation, not surely in seeking after praise or glory, but + rather in seeking after true and voluntary humility. This was + the way which the Lord Jesus Christ chose and taught with all + his strength from his Mother's womb to his death on the Cross. + When the Lord's disciples, as the Evangelist saith, discussed + among themselves which should be the greatest in the kingdom of + heaven, he called a little child and set him in the midst of + them, and said: Verily, I say unto you, Except ye be converted, + and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the + kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as + this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of + heaven. Christ loveth childhood, which state at first he took + upon himself, both in his soul and in his body. Christ loveth + childhood, for it is the teacher of humility, the rule of + innocence, and the type of meekness. Christ loveth childhood, + for he formeth the character of the grown man on this model, + and bringeth back the latter years of the old to this very + state; and he shapeth on this wise those whom he would raise to + the kingdom of heaven. + + + But, that we may be fully able to understand how this marvellous + transformation can be accomplished, and by what change we are + to return to the state of childhood, let us follow the teaching + of the blessed Paul, who saith: Be not children in + understanding; howbeit, in malice be ye children, but in + understanding be men. Hence we are not to return to the + pastimes and imperfect beginnings of childhood, but thence are + rather to take whatever is suitable to the full-grown: such as + the swift passing of excitement; the speedy restoration of + peace; the forgetfulness of injuries; the indifference to + dignity; the love of the companionship of their comrades; and + the natural evenness of temper. It is indeed a great good not to + know and not to have a taste for harm; for to do and to return + injuries is the wisdom of this world, but to render no man evil + for evil is to possess the childhood of Christian goodwill. + + + The mystery of this day's festival, dearly beloved, calleth you + to this imitation of little children. And the Saviour, who was + adored by the Magi as a child, recommendeth to you this pattern + of humility. To shew what glory he prepareth for them that + would imitate him, he consecrated by martyrdom those born at + the same time as himself. And thus the children born in + Bethlehem, where Christ was born, became sharers of his passion + by virtue of sharing the age of his infancy. Let the faithful + then love lowliness, and shun all arrogance. Let each one + prefer his brother to himself. Let him seek not even what is + his own, but only that which will profit his brother. The + feeling of charity will abound in all; the poison of envy will + be found in none. For he that exalteth himself shall be + humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/tests/calendar/marian-saturday.test.ts b/tests/calendar/marian-saturday.test.ts index f55661b..42959e2 100644 --- a/tests/calendar/marian-saturday.test.ts +++ b/tests/calendar/marian-saturday.test.ts @@ -9,7 +9,12 @@ import { getDayLabel } from '../../src/calendar/day-label'; // day), still wins outright and Marian Saturday doesn't apply at all. describe('Marian Saturday (applyMarianSaturday)', () => { it('wins outright, with no commemoration, on a Saturday with nothing else at all going on', () => { - const day = resolveDay('2026-10-24'); + // Not 2026-10-24: that date is now St. Raphael the Archangel's own + // fixed day (Duplex majus, added per the full-year sanctoral + // import), which wins outright. 2026-07-04 is a genuinely clean + // Saturday with no sanctoral entry at all (not even a commemorated + // Simplex). + const day = resolveDay('2026-07-04'); expect(day.winner).toEqual({ kind: 'temporal', id: 'marian-saturday' }); expect(day.commemorations).toEqual([]); expect(getDayLabel(day)).toBe("Our Lady's Saturday"); diff --git a/tests/hours/lauds-psalmody-overrides.test.ts b/tests/hours/lauds-psalmody-overrides.test.ts index d91e94b..cda0a86 100644 --- a/tests/hours/lauds-psalmody-overrides.test.ts +++ b/tests/hours/lauds-psalmody-overrides.test.ts @@ -46,7 +46,11 @@ describe('Lauds psalmody override (duplex-majus+ sanctoral, and Marian Saturday) }); it("substitutes Our Lady's Saturday own proper psalmody, unconditionally, whenever it wins", () => { - const ordo = resolveOrdo('lauds', '2026-10-24'); // a clean, otherwise-empty Marian Saturday + // Not 2026-10-24: that date is now St. Raphael the Archangel's own + // fixed day (Duplex majus, added per the full-year sanctoral + // import), which wins outright. 2026-07-04 is a clean, otherwise- + // empty Marian Saturday (see tests/calendar/marian-saturday.test.ts). + const ordo = resolveOrdo('lauds', '2026-07-04'); const psalmNumbers = ordo.parts .filter((p) => p.kind === 'psalm') .map((p) => (p.kind === 'psalm' ? p.psalmNumber : undefined)); @@ -63,7 +67,7 @@ describe('Lauds psalmody override (duplex-majus+ sanctoral, and Marian Saturday) }); it("drops the Holy Cross and Blessed Virgin Mary suffrages on Our Lady's Saturday (the latter redundant with the day's already-Marian office; the former because Marian Saturday isn't a bare ferial office either), keeping Joseph, Apostles, and Peace", () => { - const ordo = resolveOrdo('lauds', '2026-10-24'); + const ordo = resolveOrdo('lauds', '2026-07-04'); const labels = ordo.parts.filter((p) => p.kind === 'preces' && p.label).map((p) => (p.kind === 'preces' ? p.label : undefined)); expect(labels).toEqual(['Of St. Joseph', 'Of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul', 'For Peace', 'Salve Regina']); });
