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).

His Mother was chosen a Virgin of the kingly lineage of David,
|
||||
and when she was to grow heavy with the sacred Child, her soul
|
||||
had already conceived him before her body. 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.

Deum et Dóminum Angelórum María suum fílium appéllat, dicens:
|
||||
Fili, quid fecísti nobis sic? Quis hoc áudeat Angelórum?

Súfficit eis, et pro magno habent, quod cum sint spíritus ex

conditióne, ex grátia facti sint et vocáti Angeli, testánte

David: Qui facit Angelos suos spíritus. María vero matrem se

cum fidúcia suum núncupat Fílium: nec dedignátur nuncupári

Deus, quod esse dignátus est. Nam paulo post subdit

Evangelísta: Et erat súbditus illis. Quis? Quibus? Deus

homínibus? Deus, inquam, cui Angeli súbditi sunt, cui

Principátus et Potestátes obédiunt, súbditus erat Maríæ.

Miráre utrúmlibet, et élige quod ámplius miréris, sive Fílii

benigníssimam dignatiónem, sive Matris excellentíssimam

Disce, homo, obedíre: disce, terra, subdi; disce, pulvis,

humíliat, et tu te exáltas? Deus se homínibus subdit, et tu,

Felix María, cui nec humílitas défuit, nec virgínitas! Et

|

fecúnditas. Et nihilóminus speciális humílitas, quam non

ábstulit, sed éxtulit fecúnda virgínitas: et incomparábilis

prorsus fecúnditas, quam virgínitas simul comitátur et

|
||||
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.
