+        Beátum Michaélem Archángelum sǽpius homínibus apparuísse, et sacrórum Librórum auctoritáte
+        et véteri Sanctórum traditióne comprobátur. Quam ob rem multis in locis facti memória
+        celebrátur. Eum, ut olim synagóga Judæórum, sic nunc custódem et patrónum Dei venerátur
+        Ecclésia. Gelásio autem primo, Pontífice máximo, in Apúlia in vértice Gargáni montis, ad
+        cujus radíces íncolunt Sipontíni, Archángeli Michaélis fuit illústris apparítio.
+
+
+        Factum est enim, ut ex grégibus armentórum Gargáni cujúsdam taurus longe discéderet; quem
+        diu conquisítum, in áditu spelúncæ hæréntem invenérunt. Cum vero quidam ex illis, ut taurum
+        confígeret, sagíttam emisísset retórta sagítta in ipsum récidit sagittárium. Quæ res cum
+        præséntes ac deínceps céteros tanto timóre affecísset, ut ad eam spelúncam própius accédere
+        nemo audéret, Sipontíni epíscopum cónsulunt; qui, indícto trium diérum jejúnio et oratióne,
+        rem a Deo respóndit quæri oportére.
+
+
+        Post tríduum Míchaël Archángelus epíscopum monet in sua tutéla esse eum locum, eóque indício
+        demonstrásse, velle ibi cultum Deo in sui et Angelórum memóriam adhibéri. Quare epíscopus una
+        cum cívibus ad eam spelúncam ire pergit. Quam cum in templi cujúsdam similitúdinem
+        conformátam vidíssent, locum illum divínis offíciis celebráre cœpérunt: qui multis póstea
+        miráculis illustrátus est. Nec ita multo post Bonifátius Papa, Romæ in summo circo, sancti
+        Michaélis ecclésiam dedicávit tértio Kaléndas Octóbris; quo die étiam ómnium Angelórum
+        memóriam Ecclésia celébrat. Hodiérnus autem dies Archángeli Michaélis apparitióne
+        consecrátus est.

+        That the blessed Archangel Michael hath oftentimes been seen of men is attested on the
+        authority of the Holy Bible, and also by the ancient traditions of the Saints. For this
+        reason such visions are held in remembrance in many places. As of old time did the Synagogue
+        of the Jews, so now doth the Church of God venerate Michael as her watcher and defender. But
+        during the papacy of Gelasius I, the summit of Mount Gargano in Apulia, at whose foot lieth
+        the town of Siponto, was the scene of an extraordinary appearance of this same Archangel
+        Michael.
+
+
+        And it came to pass on this wise. A certain man had a bull grazing with the flock upon Mount
+        Gargano, and it strayed. And when they had sought it for a long while they found it jammed
+        in the mouth of a cavern. Then one that stood there shot an arrow at it to slay it, but the
+        arrow turned round and came back against him that had shot it. They therefore that saw it,
+        and all those that heard it, were sore afraid because of that which had come to pass, so
+        that no man dared any more to draw near to the cavern. But when they had sought counsel of
+        the Bishop of Siponto, he answered, that it behoved to seek the interpretation from God, and
+        proclaimed three days of fasting and prayer.
+
+
+        After three days the Archangel Michael gave warning to the Bishop that that place was under
+        his protection, and that he had thus pointed out by a sign that he wished that worship
+        should be offered to God there, with remembrance of himself and of the Angels. Then the
+        Bishop and the citizens made haste and came to the cavern, and when they found that the form
+        thereof was somewhat after the fashion of a Church, they began to perform the public worship
+        of God therein, which sanctuary hath been glorified with many miracles. It was not long
+        after these things that Pope Boniface IV hallowed the Church of St. Michael on Hadrian's
+        Mole at Rome, on the 29th day of September, on the which day the Church also holdeth in
+        remembrance All Angels. But this present day is hallowed in remembrance of the manifestation
+        of the Archangel Michael.
+    responsory:
+      la: "Hic est Míchaël Archángelus, princeps milítiæ Angelórum, * Cujus honor præstat benefícia populórum, et orátio perdúcit ad regna cælórum.\nV. Archángelus Míchaël præpósitus paradísi, quem honoríficant Angelórum cives.\nR. Cujus honor præstat benefícia populórum, et orátio perdúcit ad regna cælórum."
+      en: "This is Michael, who to battle leads the armies of the skies; * Whosoever on him calleth blessed within his wardship lies, his a prayer whose voice availing aids from earth toward heaven to rise.\nV. The Archangel Michael is the Vice-Roy of Paradise, and the Angels that are the dwellers therein, do hold him in worship.\nR. Whosoever on him calleth blessed within his wardship lies, his a prayer whose voice availing aids from earth toward heaven to rise."
