Add October sanctoral content: 12 saints/feasts

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: the Guardian Angels (Duplex
majus, full proper content), St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Bruno, St.
Bridget of Sweden, St. Francis Borgia, the Maternity of the BVM (Duplex
II Classis, instituted 1931 for the 1500th anniversary of the Council
of Ephesus, full proper content), St. Edward the Confessor, St. Teresa
of Avila (distinct from St. Thérèse of Lisieux -- two different
Carmelite saints sharing a name), St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Peter
of Alcantara, St. John Cantius, and St. Raphael the Archangel (own
full proper content, matching st-gabriel-archangel.yml's established
pattern for a Sancti file that redirects wholesale to another date's
file but still carries its own real content).

St. Raphael's new fixed day (Oct 24, Duplex majus) collided with the
"clean, empty Saturday" fixture used by three tests for Marian
Saturday/Lauds-psalmody-override behavior; moved all three to 2026-07-04,
verified genuinely free of any sanctoral entry (not even a commemorated
Simplex).

+        He hath given His Angels charge over thee. A wonderful
+        graciousness, and a wonderful outpouring of love. For who hath
+        given charge? And what charge? Unto whom? And over whom? Let us
+        carefully consider, my brethren, let us carefully hold in mind
+        this great charge. For who hath given this charge? To Whom
+        belong the Angels? Whose commandments do they obey, and Whose
+        will do they do? He hath given His Angels charge over thee, to
+        keep thee in all thy ways, and that not carelessly, for they
+        shall bear thee up in their hands. The Highest Majesty,
+        therefore, hath given charge unto Angels, even His Angels. Unto
+        these beings so excellently exalted, so blessed, so near to
+        Himself, even as His own household, unto these hath He given
+        charge over thee. Who art thou? What is man, that Thou art
+        mindful of him? or the son of man, that Thou visitest him? Even
+        as though man were not rottenness, and the son of man, a worm.
+        But what charge hath He given them over thee? To keep thee in
+        all thy ways.
+
+
+        What respect, what thankfulness, what trust, ought this word to
+        work in thee! Respect for their presence, thankfulness for their
+        kindness, trust in their safe keeping. Walk carefully, as one
+        with whom are Angels, as hath been laid in charge upon them, in
+        all thy ways. In every lodging, in every nook, have reverence
+        for thine Angel. Dare not to do in his presence what thou
+        wouldst not dare to do in mine. Or dost thou doubt whether he be
+        indeed present, because thou seest him not? What if thou
+        heardest him? What if thou touchedst him? What if thou
+        smelledst him? Behold, not by sight alone is the presence of
+        things made manifest.
+
+
+        Let us also, brethren, dearly love His Angels, as them with whom
+        we are one day to be co-heirs, and who in the meanwhile are
+        leaders and guardians set over us by the Father. With such
+        guardians, whereof shall we be afraid? They that keep us in all
+        our ways, can neither be conquered nor corrupted, far less can
+        they corrupt. They are trusty, they are wary, they are mighty.
+        Whereof shall we be afraid? Only let us follow them, only let us
+        cleave unto them, and we shall abide under the shadow of the God
+        of heaven. As often then as the gloom of temptation threateneth
+        thee, or the sharpness of tribulation hangeth over thee, call
+        upon Him That keepeth thee, thy Shepherd, thy Refuge in times of
+        trouble, call upon Him, and say: "Lord, save us, we perish."

+        Unless ye become as little children, saith the Lord, ye shall

+        uprooting of bodily and mental depravity, we bring our souls to
+        the innocency of childhood. But He giveth the name of children
+        to all such as believe by the hearing of faith. Children follow
+        their father, love their mother, know not how to wish evil to
+        their neighbours, are not careful for earthly riches; they
+        insult not, they hate not, they lie not, they believe what they
+        are told, and take for truth what they hear. Us then it
+        behoveth to return to the simpleness of little children, for
+        when we are well rooted therein, we shall so far bear about in
+        ourselves an image of the sublime simpleness of the Lord Jesus.

+
+        Woe unto the world because of offences! The lowliness of the
+        Passion is an offence unto the world. Such is the state of
+        stupidity to which man's ignorance hath reduced itself, that it
+        turneth away from the Lord of Eternal Glory, because of the
+        unsightliness of the Cross! And what is so certain to bring woe
+        unto the world as to turn away from Christ? And therefore He
+        saith it must needs be that offences come, because his
+        fulfilling the lowliness of the Passion was the predestined
+        mean whereby He was to give us eternal life.
+
+
+        Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones that
+        believe in Me. He hath laid on us a most meet tie to constrain
+        us to love one another, especially such as indeed believe in
+        the Lord. For I say unto you that in heaven their Angels do
+        always behold the face of My Father Which is in heaven. For the
+        Son of Man is come to save that which was lost. From these
+        words we see, first, that the Son of Man saveth; secondly, that
+        the Angels do see God; and thirdly, that the Angels of these
+        little ones have the wardship over the prayers of the faithful.
+        That the Angels have this wardship is taught us absolutely. The
+        Angels therefore do every day offer to God the prayers, which
+        they which are saved, do make to Him in the Name of Christ.
+        Therefore it is dangerous for a man to despise them, seeing
+        that these are they by whose watchful service and ministry his
+        wishes and requests are presented before the throne of the
+        eternal and unseen God.

+        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.

+        Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Mary called God, the
+        Lord of Angels, her son. Which of the angels would have dared
+        to do so? 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. For a little after, the
+        Evangelist saith: And he was subject unto them. Who to whom?
+        God to men. I say that God, unto whom the angels are subject,
+        and who is obeyed by the Principalities and Powers, was
+        subject to Mary.
+
+
+        Marvel thou at both these things, and choose whether to marvel
+        most at the sublime condescension of the Son, or at the
+        sublime dignity of Mary. 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. In praise of virgins, and of virgins only, is
+        it sung that These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever
+        he goeth. Of what praise then thinkest thou that she must be
+        worthy who even leadeth the Lamb? O man, learn to obey. O
+        earth, learn to submit. O dust, learn to keep down. It is of
+        thy Maker that the Evangelist saith: And he was subject unto
+        them. Blush, O proud ashes. God humbleth himself; and dost thou
+        exalt thyself? God is subject unto men; and wilt thou, by
+        striving to rule over men, set thyself before thy Maker?
+
+
+        O happy Mary, lowly and virgin; and wondrous virginity, which
+        motherhood destroyed not, but exalted; and wondrous lowliness,
+        which the fruitful virginity took not away, but ennobled; and
+        wondrous motherhood, which was both virgin and lowly. Which of
+        them is not wondrous? which of them is not unexampled? and
+        which of them doth not stand alone? O ye that be married,
+        honor this incorruption in corruptible flesh; O holy maidens,
+        gaze in wonder at motherhood in a maid; O, all mankind, take
+        pattern by the lowliness of the Mother of God.

+        Bridget was the daughter of princely and godly parents, and was
+        born in Sweden. Her life was a very holy one. When she was still
+        in the womb, her mother was for her sake saved from shipwreck.
+        When she was ten years old, she heard a sermon upon the
+        sufferings of the Lord, and the following night she saw Jesus on
+        the Cross, covered with fresh Blood, and heard Him speaking to
+        her of His same sufferings. From that time forth the thought of
+        them touched her so keenly, that she could never again call
+        them to mind without weeping.
+
+
+        When she was sixteen years of age she was given in marriage to
+        Ulpho, Prince of Nericia. She moved her husband to godly works,
+        as well by her noble example as by her earnest words. She
+        expended the most motherly care upon the up-bringing of her
+        children. She opened an hospital, in which she carefully tended
+        the poor, especially the sick, and would wash and kiss their
+        feet. She made a pilgrimage with her husband to Compostella, to
+        visit the grave of the holy Apostle James. On their way back
+        Ulpho fell grievously sick at Arras, and St. Denys appeared in
+        the night to Bridget, to tell her as well that her husband
+        would be healed, as diverse other things to come.
+
+
+        Her husband died, after having become a Cistercian monk.
+        Bridget, having heard the voice of Christ in a dream, took upon
+        herself an harder way of life. During her life God made known
+        to her many hidden things. She founded the monastery of
+        Wastein, under the Rule of the Holy Saviour, a Rule which she
+        had received from the Lord Himself. By the command of God she
+        went to Rome, where she stirred up many by her example to seek
+        the love of God. Thence she went to Jerusalem, and then
+        returned again to Rome. From this pilgrimage she caught a
+        fever, of which she lay sick an whole year in sharp sufferings,
+        and then, laden with good works, and after foretelling the day
+        of her own death, she departed from earth to heaven. Her body
+        was taken to the monastery of Wastein. She was famous for
+        miracles, and Boniface IX enrolled her name among those of the
+        Saints.

+        Bruno, the Founder of the Charterhouse Monks, was born at
+        Cologne. From his earliest years he was a very grave child,
+        turning away from childish things, and that so manifestly, that
+        by the grace of God the tokens of holiness already pointed him
+        out as a Father of monks, and a restorer of the life of
+        hermits. His parents, who were eminent for rank and goodness,
+        sent him to Paris, where he studied so well in Philosophy and
+        Theology, that he took the degree of Doctor in both faculties;
+        and a short while after, for his famous graces, he was made a
+        Canon of Rheims.
+
+
+        After some years, he, and six comrades, forsook the world and
+        betook themselves to Hew, the holy Bishop of Grenoble, who, when
+        he learned the reason of their coming, and believing them to
+        have been figured by seven stars which he had seen that night
+        in a dream falling at his feet, gave them a grant of land in
+        some very wild mountains in his Dioecese, which are called the
+        Chartreuses. Thither Bruno and his companions, together with
+        Hew, withdrew themselves, and led for some years the life of
+        hermits. Pope Urban II., who had formerly been his disciple,
+        commanded him to come to Rome, and amid the afflictions which
+        then scourged the Church, held him for some time as his
+        counsellor. But at last Bruno, who had refused the Archbishopric
+        of Reggio, got his leave to go away.
+
+
+        In his love of the wilderness, he betook himself to a certain
+        desert place in the Diocese of Squillaci, in the uttermost
+        coasts of Calabria. He was praying there one day in a cave,
+        when the hounds of Roger, Sovereign Earl of Sicily and
+        Calabria, who was out a-hunting, came and bayed at the door of
+        it. Thus was he found by this Prince, who was moved by his
+        holiness, and began to cherish him and his comrades, and treat
+        them very kindly. The Earl's goodness was rewarded, for when he
+        was one time laying siege to Capua, and one Sergius, who was
+        first groom of his bedchamber, had made a plot to betray him,
+        Bruno, who was still living in the desert above mentioned,
+        appeared to him in a dream, and delivered him from the danger
+        which was hanging over him. At length Bruno, full of graces and
+        good works, and famous for godliness not less than for
+        learning, fell asleep in the Lord, and was buried in the
+        monastery of St. Stephen, founded by the same Earl Roger, where
+        he is still held in great honour.

+        Edward, surnamed the Confessor, was the nephew of the holy King
+        Edward the Martyr, and himself the last Anglo-Saxon King. 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. The King
+        therefore commanded that prayers should be made for him, and
+        then fell blessedly asleep in the Lord, upon the very day
+        which had been foretold to him by the Evangelist, that is to
+        say, upon the 5th day of January, in the year of salvation
+        1066. He was famous for miracles, and in 1161 Pope Alexander
+        III. numbered him among the Saints.

+        Francis, fourth Duke of Gandia, was the son of John Borgia, Duke
+        of Gandia, and of Joan of Aragon, daughter of Alphonso, natural
+        son to Ferdinand V. surnamed the Catholic, King of Aragon. 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. He became much worse during the
+        travelling, and on his return brought to a blessed end at
+        Rome, as had been his desire, the pilgrimage of this life, in
+        the sixty-second year of his own life, and that of salvation
+        1572.

+        This John was the son of godly and respectable parents named
+        Stanislaus and Anne, and was born in the town of Kenty, a
+        place in the diocese of Krakow in Poland, from which he took
+        the Latin name of Cantius. 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.

+        Margarita Maria Alacóque, in pago diœcesis Augustodunénsis,
+        honesto genere nata, jam inde a teneris annis futuræ
+        sanctitátis indícia præbuit. In Deiparam Vírginem et in

+        Deo virginitátem devovit, id exoptans unice ut ad christianas
+        virtútes vitam compóneret. In deliciis habebat prolixas preces
+        rerumque cæléstium contemplatiónem, sui contemptum, patiéntiam
+        in adversis, corporis afflictatiónem, caritátem in próximos,

+        semetípsum conspiciéndum obtulit, et divinum Cor in aperto
+        péctore flammis incensum ac spinis constrictum osténdit,

+        injurias expiandas, illa publicum Cordi suo cultum, magnis
+        propositis cæléstis thesáuri præmiis, instituéndum curaret.

+        eamque spe fovet illíus summæ utilitátis, quæ póstea e divini
+        Cordis cultu in Ecclésiam dimanávit.
+
+
+        Ut jussa Redemptoris impleret Margarita omni diligéntia
+        studebat. Nec tamen illi defuére molestiæ plures atque acres
+        contumeliæ ab iis qui eam vano mentis errori obnoxiam esse
+        dictitábant. Quæ ómnia æquo animo tulit, immo apponebat lucro,
+        existimans se per oppróbria et dolóres hóstiam Deo gratam fore,
+        et majora ad propositum suum auxília consecuturam. Religiosæ
+        perfectiónis laude florens et per æternárum rerum
+        contemplatiónem in dies síngulos cælésti sponso conjúnctior, ad
+        eum evolávit, anno ætátis suæ quadragesimo tertio, reparátæ
+        salútis millesimo sexcentésimo nonagesimo. Miraculis insignem

+        Pius undecimus Pontifex maximus ad universam Ecclésiam
+        extendit.

+        Margaret Mary Alacoque was born of a respectable family in a
+        village in the diocese of Autun. 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. She became famous for
+        miracles. Benedict XV added her to the list of the saints;
+        Pius XI extended her office to the universal Church.

+        There is no other true knowledge given but that which is given
+        by the Holy Ghost. And this is granted to the humble only.
+        Have we not known great theologians who spake marvellously of
+        the virtues but did not practice them? Have we not seen, on
+        the contrary, many women who did not know how to discourse on
+        the virtues, practice the works of virtue worthily? The Holy
+        Spirit hath made these wise because they had fear of the Lord,
+        piety and humility.

+
+        Our Lord is the great and excellent physician of all our
+        infirmities. Before he came into the world he announced openly
+        to his prophets, I will bind up that which was broken, and I
+        will strengthen that which is weak. Finally with his own lips
+        he invited us, saying, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
+        burdened, and I will give you rest. What wonder is it, then, if
+        we see him surrounded by the sick, by sinners, and by
+        publicans. Is it not the glory of the physician to be sought
+        out by the sick?
+
+
+        The Lord beareth our miseries and ennobleth them. He layeth our
+        miseries to his Heart; he sheweth his side. It is meet then,
+        that we should make some return to him, lest he who now
+        sheweth us his wounds out of love, may one day shew them with
+        wrath and indignation. Grant, O good Jesu, that we may receive
+        the peace which thou dost offer and let us see thy wounds.
+        Since there remain faith, hope and charity, grant that, rooted
+        in faith, rejoicing in hope, glowing in charity, we may await
+        thy coming in the blessed expectation that we may see thee as
+        the Lamb upon the right, and not as the lion on the left; and,

+        exercens, innumeros a vitiis ad veram pœniténtiam traduxit.
+        Primævum sancti Francisci institutum exactíssime reparáre

+        viventem, sanctum appellare consuevit.

+        Principium obsequia, qui ipsum velut oraculum consulébant,
+        summa humilitate declinans, Cárolo quinto imperatóri a
+        confessiónibus esse recusávit. Paupertátis rigidíssimus custos,

+        vigiliis, jejuniis, flagellis, frigore, nuditate atque omni

+        Peter was born at Alcantara, a small town in the Province of
+        Estramadura, in Spain. 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. At the instant
+        of his death, blessed Theresa, then afar off, saw him carried
+        to heaven. He appeared to her afterwards, and said: O what
+        happy penance, to have won for me such glory!

+        Ráphaël interpretátur medicina Dei. Et debémus notare quod
+        eductio a malo est per tria beneficia, a Raphaéle nobis
+        colláta medicante nos. Educit ergo nos Ráphaël médicus ab
+        infirmitáte animi, inducéndo nos ad amaritúdinem contritiónis;
+        unde in Tobía dicit Ráphaël: Ubi introíeris domum tuam, lini
+        super óculos ejus ex felle. Sic fecit, et vidit. Quare Ráphaël
+        non pótuit ipse fácere? Quia Angelus non dat compunctiónem,
+        sed osténdit viam. Per fel intellígitur amaritúdo
+        contritiónis, quæ sanat óculos interioris mentis; Psalmus: Qui
+        sanat contritos corde. Hoc est optimum collyrium. In Júdicum
+        secundo dícitur quod Angelus ascéndit ad locum fléntium, et
+        dixit pópulo: Eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, feci vobis tot et
+        tanta bona; et flevit omnis pópulus, ita ut locus ille
+        appellarétur locus fléntium. Caríssimi, Angeli tota die
+        narrant nobis benefícia Dei, et reducunt ea nobis ad memóriam:
+        Quis est qui te creávit, qui te redémit? Quid fecísti, quem
+        offendísti? Hoc si consideráveris, nullum habes remédium nisi
+        flere.
+
+
+        Secundo Ráphaël edúcit de servitute diaboli, persuadéndo nobis
+        memóriam passiónis Christi; in cujus figuram dictum est
+        Tobíæ sexto: Cordis ejus particulam si super carbónes ponas,
+        fumus ejus éxtricat omne genus dæmoniórum. Dícitur Tobíæ
+        octavo quod pósuit Tobías particulam cordis super carbónes,
+        et Ráphaël religávit dæmónium in desérto superioris Ægypti.
+        Quid est hoc? Non poterat Ráphaël religare dæmónium nisi
+        ponerétur cor super carbónes? Numquid cor piscis dabat Angelo
+        tantam virtútem? Nequaquam! Nihil posset, nisi ibi mystérium
+        esset. In hoc enim nobis datur intelligi quod nihil est quod
+        ita nos líberet hódie a servitute diaboli sicut passio
+        Christi, quæ processit ex radíce cordis sive caritátis. Cor
+        enim fons est caloris cunctæ vitæ. Si ergo Cor Christi, hoc
+        est passiónem quam sustinuit, procedéntem ex radíce caritátis
+        et fonte caloris, ponas super carbónes, hoc est super
+        inflammatam memóriam; statim dæmon religábitur, ut tibi
+        nocére non possit.
+
+
+        Tertio liberat nos a contrarietáte Dei, quam incurrimus per
+        offensam Dei, et hoc inducéndo nos ad instantiam oratiónis; et
+        hoc est quod dixit angelus Ráphaël Tobíæ duodecimo: Quando
+        orabas cum lácrimis, ego óbtuli oratiónem tuam Dómino. Ipsi
+        enim Angeli reconciliant nos Deo, quantum possunt. Accusatores
+        nostri coram Deo sunt dæmones. Angeli autem excusant nos,
+        quando ófferunt oratiónes nostras, ad quas devote faciendas
+        nos inducunt; Apocalypsis octavo: Ascéndit fumus arómatum in
+        conspéctu Dómini de manu Angeli. Arómata ista suáviter
+        redoléntia sunt oratiónes Sanctórum. Vis placare Deum, quem
+        offendísti? Ora devote. Offérunt Deo oratiónem tuam, ut te Deo
+        reconcilient. Dícitur in Luca quod Christus, factus in
+        agonía, prolixius orabat, et appáruit Angelus Dómini
+        confortans eum. Et hoc totum factum est propter nos, quia non
+        indiguit confortatióne sua, sed ut ostenderétur quod libenter
+        assistunt devote orántibus, et libenter juvant eos et ipsos
+        confortant, et oratiónes eórum Deo ófferunt.

+        Raphael means God's healing, and we should observe that the way
+        out of evil lies through three blessings bestowed on us through
+        Raphael's healing. 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.

+        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. Quænam ígitur hæc descriptio? Futurum baptisma
+        dandum erat, plenum virtúte et grátia maxima, baptisma, quod
+        peccáta ómnia ablúeret, quod ex mórtuis vivos redderet. Hæc
+        ergo ut in imagine depingúntur in piscina et in aliis multis.
+        Et primo quidem aquam dedit, quæ córporum máculas ablúeret,
+        sordesque non veras, sed tales existimátas, ex funere nempe,
+        ex lepra, et similes; multaque vidére est eádem de causa in
+        veteri lege per aquam mundata.
+
+
+        Sed ad propositum jam redeamus. Primo ítaque, ut diximus,
+        córporum maculas, deínde varias infirmitátes per aquam solvi
+        curat. Ut enim nos Deus ad baptismi grátiam propius reduceret,
+        non jam maculas solum, sed et morbos sanat. Imagines enim quæ
+        propius ad veritátem accedunt, et in baptismate, et in
+        passióne, et in aliis magis conspicuæ sunt quam vetustiores.
+        Quemádmodum enim qui prope regem sunt satéllites,
+        remotióribus sunt honoratiores; ita et in figuris factum est.
+        Et Angelus descéndens turbábat aquam, et sanándi vim indebat
+        ipsi, ut discerent Judæi, Angelórum Dóminum multo magis posse
+        ánimæ morbos omnes curare. Sed, quemádmodum hic aquárum
+        natúra non simpliciter curábat (alioquin enim semper id
+        fáceret), sed Angeli operatióne id fiebat; sic in nobis non
+        aqua simpliciter operátur, sed, postquam Spíritus grátiam
+        accéperit, tunc ómnia solvit peccáta.
+
+
+        Circa hanc piscinam jacebat multitúdo magna infirmórum,
+        cæcórum, claudórum, aridórum, aquæ motum exspectántium. Sed
+        tunc infirmitas impediménto erat quóminus is qui vellet,
+        sanarétur; nunc autem unusquísque potestátem accedéndi
+        habet. Non enim Angelus est qui aquam movet, sed Angelórum
+        Dóminus ómnia éfficit. Nec dicere póssumus: Dum ego accedo,
+        alius ante me descéndit. Sed, si totus orbis venerit, grátia
+        non consúmitur, neque vis vel operátio déficit, sed semper
+        éadem manet. Ac, quemádmodum solares radii quotídie
+        illúminant, nec absumúntur, neque, quod multis
+        subministréntur, lucis quídpiam amittunt; sic, immo multo
+        minus, Spíritus operátio minúitur a multitúdine accipiéntium.
+      en: >-
+        What manner of mystery is this? 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. For as the sun's rays shine forth each day without
+        burning out, and as they spread abroad without losing any of
+        their light: far less is the operation of the Spirit
+        diminished by the multitudes who receive it.

+        Teresia Virgo, nata est Abulæ in Hispánia paréntibus tum genere

+        admirándum futuræ sanctitátis in tenerrima adhuc ætate specimen
+        dedit. Nam, cum sanctórum Mártyrum acta perlegeret, adeo in
+        ejus meditatióne Sancti Spíritus ignis exársit, ut, domo
+        aufúgiens, in Africam trajiceret, ubi vitam pro glória Jesu
+        Christi et animárum salúte profúnderet. A patruo revocata,
+        ardens martyrii desidérium eleemosynis aliisque piis opéribus
+        compensávit, jugibus lácrimis deplorans optimam sibi sortem
+        fuísse præreptam. Mortua matre, cum a beatíssima Vírgine
+        peteret ut se matrem esse monstraret, pii voti compos effecta
+        est; semper perinde ac fília patrocinio Deiparæ pérfruens.
+        Vigesimum ætátis annum agens, ad moniáles sanctæ Maríæ de Monte
+        Carmelo se cóntulit. Ibi, per duodeviginti annos gravíssimis
+        morbis et variis tentatiónibus vexata, constantíssime meruit in

+        eárum consolatiónum quibus solet étiam in terris sanctitas
+        abundare.
+
+
+        Angelicis ditáta virtútibus, non modo propriam, sed publicam
+        étiam salútem sollicita caritate curávit. Quare severiórem
+        veterum Carmelitárum regulam, Deo afflante et Pio quarto
+        approbante, primum muliéribus, deínde viris observandam
+        propósuit. Efflóruit in eo consílio omnípotens miserentis
+        Dómini benedíctio; nam duo supra trigínta monasteria inops
+        virgo pótuit ædificare, ómnibus humanis destituta auxíliis,
+        quinimmo adversántibus plerumque sæculi princípibus. Infidelium
+        et hæreticórum ténebras perpetuis deflebat lácrimis, atque, ad
+        placandam divinæ ultiónis iram, voluntarios proprii corporis
+        cruciátus Deo pro eórum salúte dicábat. Tanto autem divini
+        amoris incendio cor ejus conflagrávit, ut mérito víderit
+        Angelum igníto jáculo sibi præcordia transverberántem, et
+        audíerit Christum, data déxtera, dicéntem sibi: Deinceps, ut
+        vera sponsa, meum zelábis honórem. Eo consiliante, maxime
+        arduum votum emisit efficiéndi semper quidquid perfectius esse
+        intellígeret. Multa cæléstis sapiéntiæ documénta conscripsit,
+        quibus fidelium mentes ad supernæ pátriæ desidérium maxime
+        excitántur.
+
+
+        Cum autem assidua ederet exempla virtútum, tam anxio castigándi
+        corporis desidério æstuabat, ut, quamvis secus suadérent
+        morbi quibus afflictabátur, corpus ciliciis, catenis, urticárum

+        Dómine, aut pati aut mori; se semper miserrima morte pereuntem

+        Prophetíæ dono excelluit, eamque divinis charismátibus tam
+        liberáliter locupletábat Dóminus, ut sæpius exclámans péterent
+        beneficiis in se divinis modum imponi. Intolerábili ígitur

+        The virgin Theresa was the daughter of a father and mother,
+        equally honourable on account of their birth and of their
+        godliness, and was born at Avila in Spain. 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.

+        Theresa of the Child Jesus was born in Alencon in France. 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.

+        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. Nam, cum
+        discípuli ejus inter se, ut ait Evangelista, disquírerent quis
+        eórum major esset in regno cælórum, vocávit párvulum, et státuit
+        eum in médio eórum, et dixit: Amen, dico vobis, nisi convérsi
+        fuéritis et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrabitis in regnum
+        cælórum. Quicúmque ergo humiliaverit se sicut puer iste, hic
+        major erit in regno cælórum. Amat Christus infantiam, quam
+        primum et animo suscépit et corpore. Amat Christus infantiam,
+        humilitátis magistram, innocéntiæ regulam, mansuetúdinis
+        formam. Amat Christus infantiam, ad quam majórum dirigit mores,
+        ad quam senum redúcit ætates; et eos ad suum inclínat exemplum,
+        quos ad regnum sublimat ætérnum.

+        mira conversio et in puerílem gradum qua nobis mutatióne
+        redeundum sit, doceat nos beátus Paulus et dicat: Nolíte púeri
+        effici sensibus, sed malítia párvuli estote. Non ergo ad
+        lúdicra infantiæ et imperfécta nobis primordia reverténdum est,
+        sed aliquid, quod étiam graves annos déceat, inde suméndum, ut
+        velox sit commótium tránsitus, citus ad pacem recursus: nulla
+        sit memória offensiónis, nulla cupiditas dignitátis; amor
+        sociæ communiónis, æqualitas naturalis. Magnum enim bonum est
+        nocére non nosse et maligna non sápere; quia inférre ac referre
+        injúriam, mundi hujus prudéntia est; némini autem malum pro

+        Alter álterum sibi præferat, et nemo quod suum est quærat, sed

+        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.
