Continues the full-year sanctoral import: St. Angela Merici, St. Francis Caracciolo, St. Boniface of Mainz (Bishop and Martyr, Apostle of Germany -- distinct from the earlier, unrelated St. Boniface Martyr already on May 14), St. Norbert, St. Margaret of Scotland, and St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Two of the new fixed dates (June 1, June 4) fall on dates used by two day-label tests pinned to specific Trinity Sunday years; moved those to years/dates free of the new entries, with explanatory comments.

Bonifátius, ántea Winfrídus appellátus, apud Anglos natus est exeúnte sæculo
|
||||
séptimo, et ab ipsa infántia mundum aversátus, vitam monásticam in votis
|
||||
hábuit. Cum ejus pater ánimum sæculi illécebris permutáre frustra tentásset,
|
||||
monastérium ingréditu, et sub beáti Wolphárdi disciplína ómnium virtútum ac
|
||||
scientiárum génere imbúitur. Annum agens trigésimum sacerdótio insignítur, ac
|
||||
verbi divíni prædicátor assíduus, magno animárum lucro hoc in múnere versátur.
|
||||
Attamen, regnum Christi adaugére desíderans, contínuo flebat ingéntem
|
||||
multitúdinem barbarórum, qui ignorántiæ ténebris immérsi dæmoni famulabántur.
|
||||
Qui quidem animárum zelus cum in dies inexstinguíbili ardóre accrésceret,
|
||||
divíno númine per lácrimas et oratiónes exploráto, facultátem a monastérii
|
||||
præpósito obtínuit ad Germánicas oras proficiscéndi.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ex Anglia duóbus cum sóciis navem solvens, Dorestádium in Frísiæ óppidum venit.
|
||||
Cum autem bellum gravíssimum inter Frísonum regem Radbódum et Cárolum
|
||||
Martéllum exarsísset, sine fructu Evangélium prædicávit. Quaprópter in Angliam
|
||||
revérsus, ad suum redívit monastérium, cui invítus præfícitur. Post elápsum
|
||||
biénnium, ex consénsu epíscopi Vintoniénsis, munus abdicávit, et Romam
|
||||
proféctus est, ut apostólica auctoritáte ad Gentílium conversiónem
|
||||
delegarétur. Cum ad Urbem pervenísset, a Gregório secúndo benígne excípitur,
|
||||
pro Winfrído Bonifátius a Pontífice nominátur. In Germániam diréctus,
|
||||
Thuríngiæ Saxoniæque pópulis Christum annuntiávit. Cum intérea Radbódus,
|
||||
Frísiæ rex ac infestíssimus christiáni nóminis hostis, occubuísset, Bonifátius
|
||||
ad Frísones rédiit, ubi sancti Willibrórdi sócius per triénnium tanto cum
|
||||
fructu Evangélium prædicávit, ut, destrúctis idolórum simulácris, innúmeræ vero
|
||||
Deo ecclésiæ excitaréntur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A sancto Willibrórdo ad episcopále munus expetítus, illud detrectávit ut
|
||||
prómpius infidélium salúti instáret. In Germániam proféctus, plura Hassórum
|
||||
míllia a dæmonis superstitióne avocávit. A Gregório Pontífice Romam evocátus,
|
||||
post insígnem fídei professiónem epíscopus consecrátur. Exínde ad Germános
|
||||
redux, Hássiam et Thuríngiam ab idololatríæ relíquiis pénitus expurgávit.
|
||||
Tanta propter mérita Bonifátius a Gregório tértio ad dignitátem
|
||||
archiepiscopálem evéhitur, et tértio Romam proféctus a summo Pontífice Sedis
|
||||
apostólicæ legátus constitúitur. Qua insignítus auctoritáte quátuor
|
||||
episcopátus instítuit, et várias synodos celebrávit, inter quas concílium
|
||||
Leptinénse memorábile est, apud Belgas in Cameracénsi diœcési celebrátum, quo
|
||||
quidem témpore ad fidem in Bélgio adaugéndam egrégie cóntulit. A Zacharía Papa
|
||||
creátus Mogúntius archiepíscopus, ipso Pontífice jubénte, Pipínum in regem
|
||||
Francórum unxit. Post mortem sancti Willibrórdi Ultrajecténsem ecclésiam
|
||||
gubernándum suscépit, primo per Eóbanum, deínde per seípsum, dum ab ecclésia
|
||||
Moguntína absolútus Ultrajécti resédit. Frisónibus ad idololatríam relápsis,
|
||||
Evangélium prædicáre rursus aggréditur, cumque offício pastoráli occuparétur, a
|
||||
bárbaris et ímpiis homínibus juxta Bornam flúvium cum Eóbano coëpíscopo
|
||||
multísque áliis cruénta cæde perémptus martyrii palma condecorátur. Corpus
|
||||
sancti Bonifátii Mogúntiam translátum, et, ut ipse vivens petíerat, in
|
||||
Fuldénsi monastério, quod exstrúxerat, recónditum fuit, ubi multis miráculis
|
||||
incláruit.

Winfried, afterwards called Boniface, was an Englishman, and born in England,
|
||||
towards the end of the seventh century. From his very childhood, he turned away
|
||||
from the world, and set his heart upon becoming a monk. His father tried in vain
|
||||
to turn him from his wishes by the beguilements of the world, and he entered a
|
||||
Monastery, where the Blessed Wolphard instructed him in all godliness and
|
||||
diverse kinds of learning. At the age of twenty-nine years he was ordained
|
||||
Priest, and became an unwearied preacher of the Word of God, wherein he had a
|
||||
gift which he used with great gain of souls. Nevertheless, his great desire was
|
||||
to spread the kingdom of Christ, and he continually bewailed the vast number of
|
||||
savages who were plunged in the darkness of ignorance and were the servants of
|
||||
the devil. This zealous love of souls increased in him in intensity day by day,
|
||||
till nothing would serve him, but, having implored the blessing of God by tears
|
||||
and prayers, and obtained authority from the head of his monastery, to set forth
|
||||
for the coast of Germany.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He set sail from England with two companions and reached the town of Dorestadt
|
||||
in Friesland. A great war being then raging between Radbod, King of the
|
||||
Frieslanders, and Charles Martel, Winfrid preached the Gospel in vain. He went
|
||||
back to England, and betook himself again to his Monastery, whereof he was,
|
||||
against his own will, chosen to be the head. After two years he obtained the
|
||||
consent of the Bishop of Winchester to resign his office, and went to Rome, to
|
||||
seek an Apostolic commission to preach to the heathen. When he arrived at the
|
||||
city he was courteously welcomed by Gregory II., who changed his name from
|
||||
Winfrid to Boniface. He departed thence to Germany, and preached Christ to the
|
||||
tribes in Thuringia and Saxony. Radbod, King of Friesland, who bitterly hated
|
||||
the Christian name, being dead, Boniface went a second time among the
|
||||
Frieslanders, and there, with his comrade St. Willibrord, preached the Gospel
|
||||
for three years with so much fruit, that the idols were hewn down, and
|
||||
countless churches arose to the true God.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Willibrord urged upon him to take the office of a Bishop, but he deferred to
|
||||
seek it, that he might the more instantly toil for the salvation of the
|
||||
unbelievers. Advancing into Germany, he reclaimed thousands of the Hessians
|
||||
from devil-worship. Pope Gregory sent for him to Rome, and after hearing a noble
|
||||
profession of his faith, consecrated him a Bishop. He again returned to
|
||||
Germany, and thoroughly purged Hesse and Thuringia from all remains of idolatry.
|
||||
On account of such great works Gregory III. advanced Boniface to the dignity
|
||||
of an Archbishop, and on the occasion of a third journey to Rome, he was
|
||||
invested by the Sovereign Pontiff with the powers of Legate of the Apostolic
|
||||
See. As such, he founded four Bishoprics, and held diverse Synods, among which
|
||||
is especially to be remembered that of Lessines, held in Belgium, in the
|
||||
diocese of Cambrai, wherein he made his strongest endeavours to spread the
|
||||
Faith among the Belgians. By Pope Zacharias, he was named Archbishop of
|
||||
Maintz, and by command of the same Pope, he anointed Pepin to be King of the
|
||||
Franks. After the death of St. Willibrord, he undertook the government of the
|
||||
Church of Utrecht, at first through Eoban but he afterwards was released from
|
||||
the care of the Church of Maintz and established his see at Utrecht. The
|
||||
Frieslanders having again fallen back into idolatry, he once more betook
|
||||
himself to preach the Gospel among them, and while he was busied in this duty,
|
||||
he grasped the crown of martyrdom, being murdered by some ungodly savages,
|
||||
along with his fellow-Bishop Eoban, and many others, in a bloody massacre near
|
||||
the River Born. In accordance with the wish expressed by himself during life
|
||||
the body of St. Boniface was carried to Maintz, and buried in the monastery of
|
||||
Fulda, of which he had been the founder, and where God has gloriously honoured
|
||||
it by the working of many signs and wonders.

Beáti mundo corde; quóniam ipsi Deum vidébunt. Quam ergo stulti sunt, qui Deum
|
||||
istis exterióribus óculis quærunt, cum corde videátur, sicut álibi scriptum
|
||||
est: Et in simplicitáte cordis quærite illum. Hoc est enim mundum cor, quod est
|
||||
simplex cor. Et quemádmodum lumen hoc vidéri non potest, nisi óculis mundis;
|
||||
ita nec Deus vidétur, nisi mundum sit illud quo vidéri potest. Beáti pacífici;
|
||||
quóniam ipsi fílii Dei vocabúntur. In pace perféctio est, ubi nihil repúgnat;
|
||||
et ídeo fílii Dei pacífici, quóniam nihil in his resístit Deo, et útique fílii
|
||||
similitúdinem patris habére debent.
|
||||
|
||||
|

Pacífici autem in semetípsis sunt, qui omnes ánimi sui motus componéntes, et
|
||||
subjiciéntes ratióni, id est menti et spirítui, carnalésque concupiscéntias
|
||||
habéntes edómitas, fiunt regnum Dei. In quo ita sunt ordináta ómnia, ut id
|
||||
quod est in hómine præcípuum et excéllens, hoc ímperet, céteris non
|
||||
reluctántibus, quæ sunt nobis bestiísque commúnia; atque idípsum quod
|
||||
excélluit in hómine, id est mens et rátio, subjiciátur potióri, quod est ipsa
|
||||
véritas, unigénitus Fílius Dei. Neque enim imperáre inferióribus potest, nisi
|

superióri se ipse subjíciat. Et hæc est pax, quæ datur in terra homínibus

bonæ voluntátis; hæc vita consummáti perfectíque sapiéntis.

|

|

De hujúsmodi regno pacatíssimo et ordinatíssimo missus est foras princeps
|

hujus sæculi, qui pervérsis inordinatísque dominátur. Hac pace intrínsecus
|
||||
constitúta atque firmáta, quascúmque persecutiónes ille, qui foras missus est,
|
||||
forínsecus concitáverit, auget glóriam, quæ secúndum Deum est; non áliquid in
|
||||
illo ædifício labefáctans, sed deficiéntibus máchinis suis innotéscere fáciens,

quanta fírmitas intus exstrúcta sit. Ideo séquitur: Beáti, qui persecutiónem

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. What fools then be they
|
||||
that seek God with their outward eyes, since it is in the heart that He is
|
||||
seen, as it is written elsewhere: In simplicity of heart seek Him. A simple
|
||||
heart is a pure heart. And even as we cannot see this earthly light, unless the
|
||||
eyes be open, so cannot God be seen, unless that be open which alone can
|
||||
perceive Him. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the
|
||||
children of God. The perfection of peace is the absence of contrariety, and the
|
||||
peacemakers are called the children of God because they offer no contrariety
|
||||
against the will of God. As beseemeth children, they have their Father's
|
||||
likeness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
They are peacemakers in themselves, who order all the movements of their own
|
||||
mind in obedience to reason, that is, to their intellect and soul, and so
|
||||
doing, and taming the lusts of the flesh, become a kingdom for God. In such
|
||||
kingdom all things are so ordered, that the chiefest and noblest part of man
|
||||
ruleth without contention over those lower things which we have in common with
|
||||
beasts. And just in the same way, must that nobler part of man, that is to say,
|
||||
intellect and reason, needs be put in subjection to what is above it, namely,
|
||||
Truth, the Only begotten Son of God. He only can rule well who hath learnt to
|
||||
obey. And this ordering is that peace which is given on earth to men of good
|
||||
will; this is the life of whomsoever is thoroughly and perfectly wise.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
From this most peaceful and most orderly kingdom is cast forth the prince of
|
||||
this world, whose rule is over the contentious and disorderly. When once this
|
||||
peace hath been proclaimed and established within, whatsoever wars he that is
|
||||
without can raise, can but heap more glory upon that glory which is according
|
||||
to God, for nothing of the castle will yield before him, but the yielding of
|
||||
his own engines will witness how strong be its ramparts. And therefore cometh
|
||||
next: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs
|
||||
is the kingdom of heaven.
