All 9 of April's SanctiM-track saints authored. Found a new wrinkle: St. Catherine of Siena and St. Peter Martyr sit on swapped dates between this app's calendar and the general Tridentine one (Apr 29/30 each way), not just an off-by-a-few-days shift like earlier cases. Also hit a reference-engine data bug on St. George (English prose filed under a Latin heading) and another genuinely Monastic-only saint (St. Robert of Molesme) needing an original translation.

# Matins Nocturn reading for St. Robert of Molesme, Abbot, founder of
|
||||
# Cîteaux (Apr 29) — a genuine Monastic-only saint: no `Sancti/04-29*.txt`
|
||||
# names him at all (that plain file is St. Peter Martyr — see
|
||||
# `st-peter-martyr.yml`'s own note on the date swap between this app's
|
||||
# calendar and the general Tridentine one); his own proper vita exists
|
||||
# only at web/www/horas/Latin/SanctiM/04-29oM.txt. Lectio1-4 (Nocturn
|
||||
# 1) fall back to Common of a Confessor; Lectio5-8 are his own vita
|
||||
# (the founding of Cîteaux), one continuous account, combined into a
|
||||
# single reading, no genuine source break.
|
||||
# No English/SanctiM/04-29oM.txt exists in the reference engine at

# all, so `en` is this project's own translation, marked `draft` per

Robertus in Campania, nobilibus ortus parentibus, cum matri suæ de illo prægnanti, Dei
|
||||
Mater apparuisset, et digitum ejus annulo subarrasset dicens, velle, ut suus esset
|
||||
sponsus filius, quem in utero portabat: quod fuit causa, ut omnia sua Monasteria ipsius
|
||||
Dei Matris nomini consecrarentur: annum agens undecimum apud sanctum Petrum de Cella
|
||||
suscepit habitum regularem. Ubi jejuniis, et orationibus vacans nocte, et die gratum Deo
|
||||
exhibebat obsequium, carnem spiritui, spiritum Creatori subjiciens. Ipso sic disponente,
|
||||
a Monachis illius Monasterii electus in Priorem, a Tornodorensibus in Abbatem cooptatur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Postea a quibusdam Eremitis fuit rogatus, ut idem munus super eis admitteret; quorum
|
||||
votis satisfecisset, nisi Tornodorenses Monachi reclamassent. Dimittens nuntios spem
|
||||
illis certam dedit se quam cito facultas tribueretur ei a Domino, ad eos profecturum.
|
||||
Assumptis posteà duobus sociis, iit ad nemus, cujus nomen Molismus erat, ubi propriis
|
||||
manibus laborantes, ex ramis arborum domicilia, et oratorium construxerunt, in eoque
|
||||
Domino salutares hostias, et sacrificium contriti cordis offerebant. Sed cum maxime
|
||||
desideraret ubicumque servi Dei reperiebantur, ipse quoque reperiri, venit ad locum
|
||||
Hauz, et devote ab istis Monachis susceptus, paulo post Abbatem illum elegerunt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
De suo tamen secessu Molismenses contristati Summum Pontificem adjerunt; ejusque
|
||||
auctoritate freti virum Dei revocavere Molismum, in quo aliqui, ut Albericus, et
|
||||
Stephanus, et alii duo, cum Eremiticam vitam appeterent, ad locum, Vivicus dictum
|
||||
profecti sunt; sed ab illo pulsi, ad sylvam Cistertium vocatam, devenerunt, ubi ædificato
|
||||
Oratorio in honorem Beatæ Mariæ, perseveraverunt. Audiens autem beatus Robertus sanctam
|
||||
ipsorum conversationem, assumptis secum vigintiduobus monachis perrexit ad eos, ut sancti
|
||||
eorum propositi esset particeps, et adjutor, a quibuscum summa devotione susceptus,
|
||||
eisdem aliquandiu paterna solicitudine præfuit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Tanto pastore destitui ægre ferentes Monachi Molismi, Summum Pontificem adjerunt, ut
|
||||
beatum Robertum Molismum regredi cogeret. Annuens eis pontifex Cabilonensi Episcopo
|
||||
scripsit, quatenus alio Abbate Cisterciensibus ordinato, Robertum cogeret reverti
|
||||
Molismum. Dispositis ergo quæ ad observantiam, secundum regulam sancti Benedicti
|
||||
pertinebant, Abbatem eis loco sui præfecit Albericum, et eo mortuo Stephanum subrogavit.
|
||||
Sicque novellæ illius plantationis institutor existens beatus Robertus, cum utriusque
|
||||
Monasterii, Molismensis scilicet, et Cisterciensis, regimen haberet, Molismum secundo
|
||||
rediit. Tandem cum jam suum obitum appeteret, ejus horam illi Dominus revelavit, et anno
|
||||
ætatis suæ nonagesimotertio, clarus miraculis spiritum transmisit ad cælos, tertio
|
||||
Kalendas Maii, anno Domini millesimo nonagesimo octavo.

|

Robert was born in Champagne of noble parents; when his mother was with child of him, the
|
||||
Mother of God appeared to her, and betrothed her finger with a ring, saying that she
|
||||
willed the son she was carrying in her womb to be her own spouse — for which cause all his
|
||||
monasteries were consecrated to the name of that same Mother of God. At the age of eleven
|
||||
he took the religious habit at the monastery of Saint-Pierre-de-Cella. There, devoting
|
||||
himself to fasting and prayer by night and by day, he rendered service pleasing to God,
|
||||
subjecting the flesh to the spirit, and the spirit to the Creator. By God's own disposing
|
||||
he was chosen Prior by the monks of that monastery, and afterwards co-opted Abbot by
|
||||
those of Tonnerre.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Afterwards he was asked by certain hermits to take up the same office over them; whose
|
||||
wishes he would have granted, had not the monks of Tonnerre protested. Sending back their
|
||||
messengers, he gave them sure hope that he would come to them as soon as the Lord should
|
||||
grant him the means. Later, taking two companions with him, he went to the forest called
|
||||
Molesme, where, labouring with their own hands, they built dwellings and an oratory out
|
||||
of the branches of trees, and there offered to the Lord saving sacrifices and the
|
||||
sacrifice of a contrite heart. But as he greatly desired that, wherever servants of God
|
||||
were to be found, he himself might also be found among them, he came to the place called
|
||||
Aux, and being devoutly received by those monks, was shortly afterwards chosen their
|
||||
Abbot.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The monks of Molesme, grieved at his withdrawal, went to the Supreme Pontiff; and,
|
||||
relying on his authority, recalled the man of God to Molesme. Meanwhile certain of the
|
||||
brethren — Alberic, Stephen, and two others — desiring the eremitical life, set out for
|
||||
the place called Vivicus; but being driven from there, they came to the forest called
|
||||
Cîteaux, where, having built an Oratory in honour of the Blessed Mary, they persevered.
|
||||
When blessed Robert heard of their holy manner of life, he took with him twenty-two monks
|
||||
and went to join them, that he might share in and assist their holy purpose; and, being
|
||||
received by them with the greatest devotion, he governed them for a time with fatherly
|
||||
solicitude.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The monks of Molesme, taking it ill to be deprived of so great a shepherd, went again to
|
||||
the Supreme Pontiff, that he might compel blessed Robert to return to Molesme. The
|
||||
Pontiff, granting their request, wrote to the Bishop of Châlons that, another Abbot
|
||||
having been ordained for the Cistercians, he should compel Robert to return to Molesme.
|
||||
Having therefore settled what pertained to the observance according to the Rule of St.
|
||||
Benedict, he set Alberic over them in his own place as Abbot, and upon his death Stephen
|
||||
succeeded him. And so blessed Robert, having been the founder of that new planting, while
|
||||
holding the government of both monasteries — that of Molesme, and that of Cîteaux —
|
||||
returned a second time to Molesme. At length, when his death drew near, the Lord revealed
|
||||
to him the hour of it, and in the ninety-third year of his age, renowned for miracles, he
|
||||
sent forth his spirit to heaven, on the third day before the Kalends of May, in the year
|
||||
of the Lord one thousand ninety-eight.
