12 of May's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (1 left unsourced, Common-only). Resolves an old loose end from the pre-1955 pass: St. Romanus Abbot does have a real SanctiM file after all, it's just Common-only with no proper Lectio content, which looked like a missing file until actually opened. Also the first isGospel:true case since January (Ss. Philip and James's Nocturn 3 has a full Gospel pericope, not a bare incipit).

Alexander Romanus, Hadriáno imperatóre regens Ecclésiam, magnam partem Romanæ
|
||||
nobilitátis ad Christum convértit. Is constítuit ut tantummodo panis et vinum in
|
||||
mysterio offerrétur: vinum autem aqua miscéri jussit, propter sánguinem et aquam, quæ ex
|
||||
Jesu Christi látere profluxérunt; et in Cánone Missæ addidit, Qui pridie quam paterétur.
|
||||
Idem decrevit ut aqua benedicta, sale admixto, perpetuo in ecclésia asservarétur, et in
|
||||
cubiculis adhiberétur ad fugándos dæmones. Sedit annos decem, menses quinque et dies
|

viginti, vitæ sanctitáte et salutáribus institútis illustris. Martyrio coronátus est una
|

cum Eventio et Theodúlo presbyteris, sepultúsque est via Nomentana, tertio ab Urbe

Decembri presbyteris sex, diáconis duobus et epíscopis per diversa loca quinque. Eórum

Alexander was a Roman, who ruled the Church during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. He
|
||||
turned to Christ a great number of the Roman nobility. He ordained that nothing but bread
|
||||
and wine should be offered at the mystery, but that some water should be mingled with the
|
||||
wine, in memory of the Blood and Water Which flowed from the Side of Jesus Christ. He
|
||||
added to the Canon of the Mass the words Who, the night before He suffered. He also
|
||||
ordained that blessed water mingled with salt, should be kept always in Churches, and
|
||||
should be used in private rooms to scare away devils. He sat in the throne of Peter ten
|
||||
years, five months, and twenty days. He hath great renown on account of the holiness of
|
||||
his life, and the usefulness of his institutions. He was crowned with martyrdom, together
|
||||
with the Priests Eventius and Theodulus, and was buried beside the Nomentan Way, at the
|
||||
third mile-stone from the city, in the same place where he had been beheaded. During his
|
||||
Popedom he held diverse Advent ordinations, and at them ordained six Priests, two
|
||||
Deacons, and five Bishops for diverse places. The bodies of these three Martyrs,
|
||||
Alexander, Eventius, and Theodulus, were afterwards brought into the city, and buried in
|
||||
the Church of St Sabina. On this day likewise occurred the blessed death of Juvenal, the
|
||||
holy Bishop of Narni, who by the holiness of his life and teaching, became the father in
|
||||
Christ of so many of the dwellers in that city. He fell asleep very peacefully, with great
|
||||
fame for miracles, and was there honourably buried.

Nereus and Achilles were brethren, eunuchs belonging to Flavia Domitilla, who were
|
||||
baptized by blessed Peter, along with her and her mother Plautilla. They had advised
|
||||
Domitilla to consecrate her virginity to God, and on this account Aurelian, to whom she
|
||||
was betrothed, accused them of being Christians. They nobly confessed the faith, and were
|
||||
banished to the island of Ponza. Then they were again put to the torture, and after being
|
||||
scourged, were taken to Terracina. At Terracina, Minutius Rufus tormented them with the
|
||||
rack and with fire, but as they constantly affirmed that having once been baptized by the
|
||||
blessed Apostle Peter, no torture could ever make them sacrifice to idols, they were
|
||||
beheaded. Auspicius, their own disciple and the tutor of Domitilla, took their bodies to
|
||||
Rome, where they were buried on the road to Ardea.

The Virgin Flavia Domitilla was a Roman, the niece of the Emperors Titus and Domitian,
|
||||
and was veiled by the blessed Pope Clement. Aurelian, son of the Consul Titus Aurelius, to
|
||||
whom she was betrothed, accused her of being a Christian, and the Emperor Domitian
|
||||
banished her into the island of Ponza, where she long suffered and testified in prison.
|
||||
At length she was taken to Terracina, where she again confessed Christ, and as she seemed
|
||||
ever to grow firmer, the judge, under the Emperor Trajan, caused her chamber to be set on
|

fire, and there Domitilla, with her foster-sisters the maidens Theodora and Euphrosyne,
|

finished the race of faith by grasping the crown of glory, on the 7th day of May. Their

bodies were found whole, and were buried by the Deacon Caesarius.

Pancras was the son of a noble family of Phrygia. He came to Rome in the reign of the

Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, being then a boy of fourteen years of age. There he was
|
||||
baptized by the Bishop of Rome, and brought up in the Christian faith. On this account he

was soon after taken, and having constantly refused to sacrifice to the gods, he offered

his neck to the executioner with manly courage, and won a glorious crown of martyrdom.

The Lady Octavilla took his body by night, embalmed it with precious ointments, and

Quid est quod regulus Dominum rogat ut ad ejus filium veniat, et tamen ire corporaliter
|

recusat: ad servum vero centurionis non invitatur, et tamen se corporaliter ire
|
||||
pollicetur? Reguli filio per corporalem præsentiam non dignatur adesse, centurionis servo
|
||||
non dedignatur occurrere. Quid est hoc, nisi quod superbia nostra retunditur, qui in

hominibus non naturam, qua ad imaginem Dei facti sunt, sed honores et divitias veneramur?
|

Redemptor vero noster ut ostenderet, quia quæ alta sunt hominum, despicienda sunt, et

quæ despecta sunt hominum, despicienda non sunt: ad filium reguli ire noluit, ad servum

Increpata est ergo superbia nostra, quæ nescit pensare homines propter homines. Sola, ut

diximus, quæ circumstant hominibus, pensat, naturam non aspicit, honorem Dei in hominibus
|

non agnoscit. Ecce ire non vult Filius Dei ad filium reguli: et tamen venire paratus est

ad salutem servi. Certe si nos cujuspiam servus rogaret, ut ad eum ire deberemus, protinus
|

nobis nostra superbia in cogitatione tacita responderet, dicens: Non eas, quia temetipsum
|
||||
degeneras, honor tuus despicitur, locus vilescit. Ecce de cælo venit, qui servo in terra
|
||||
occurrere non despicit: et tamen humiliari in terra contemnimus, qui de terra sumus.

Nolite ergo intra vosmetipsos pensare quod habetis, sed quid estis. Ecce mundus qui

diligitur, fugit. Sancti isti, ad quorum tumbam consistimus, florentem mundum mentis
|

despectu calcaverunt. Erat tunc vita longa, salus continua, opulentia in rebus, fœcunditas
|

in propagine, tranquillitas in diuturna pace: et tamen cum in seipso floreret, jam in
|
||||
eorum cordibus mundus aruerat. Ecce jam mundus in seipso aruit, et adhuc in cordibus
|

nostris floret. Ubique mors, ubique luctus, ubique desolatio: undique percutimur, undique

Wherefore was it that when this nobleman besought the Lord to come down where his child
|
||||
died, the Lord, albeit He healed him, would not come, and yet, when the Centurion prayed
|
||||
Him to heal his servant, albeit not asked to come down, He went with them? He deemed not
|
||||
that the nobleman's son was worthy of His bodily presence, but He refused not to go to
|
||||
help the Centurion's servant. What is this but a rebuke to earthly pride, which maketh us
|
||||
to respect in men their honours and riches rather than that Divine image wherein they are
|
||||
created? It was not so with our Redeemer, who would not go to the son of the nobleman, but
|
||||
was ready to come down for the Centurion's servant, to show that to Him the things which
|
||||
are great among men are but of little moment, and the things which are little esteemed
|
||||
among men are not beneath His notice.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Our pride then standeth rebuked, that pride which maketh us forget for the sake of one
|
||||
man that another man is a man at all. This pride, as we have said, looketh only at the
|
||||
surroundings of men, not at their nature, and seeth not that God is to be honoured in a
|
||||
man because he is a man. Lo, how the Son of God will not go unto the nobleman's son, but
|
||||
is ready to go and heal the servant. Of myself I know that if any one's servant were to
|
||||
ask me to go to him, I have a sort of pride which would say to me silently inside my
|
||||
heart: Go not, thou wilt lower thyself; the Papal dignity will be lightly esteemed, thy
|
||||
exalted station will be degraded. Behold how He Which came down from heaven, doth not
|
||||
deem it below Him to go to help a servant, and yet I who am of the earth earthly, shrink
|
||||
from being trodden on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Think not therefore within yourselves what ye have, but what ye are. Behold, the world
|
||||
which I love, is a world which passeth away. Those holy servants of God, by whose grave I
|
||||
am standing, ennobled themselves mentally above the world at its fairest. To them was
|
||||
offered length of days, robust health, plenty in possessions, fruitfulness in offspring,
|
||||
comfort under perpetual peace: and yet while the spring-tide of life was unfolding before
|
||||
them, their hearts had already condemned it to an arid winter. Behold, winter in their
|
||||
hearts, spring in mine! Death, and pain, and barrenness occur all around me, I am attacked
|
||||
on all sides, and I feel very bitter, and yet the sting of fleshly lust so blindeth me,
|
||||
that I love the bitter feelings, I hunt after that which flees from me, and cling to that
|
||||
which would leave me.

Philip was born in the town of Bethsaida, and was one of the first of the twelve Apostles
|
||||
who were called by the Lord Christ. Then Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him: We
|
||||
have found Him of Whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets, did write. And so he brought
|
||||
him to the Lord. How familiarly he was in the company of Christ, is manifest from that
|
||||
which is written: There were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
|
||||
Feast; the same came therefore to Philip, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
|
||||
When the Lord was in the wilderness, and was about to feed a great multitude, He said unto
|
||||
Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? Philip, after that he had received
|
||||
the Holy Ghost, took Scythia, by lot, as the land wherein he was to preach the Gospel, and
|
||||
brought nearly all that people to believe in Christ. At the last he came to Hierapolis in
|
||||
Phrygia, and there, for Christ's Name's sake, he was fastened to a cross and stoned to
|
||||
death. The day was the first of May. The Christians of Hierapolis buried his body at that
|
||||
place, but it was afterwards brought to Rome and laid in the Basilica of the Twelve
|
||||
Apostles, beside that of the blessed Apostle James.

James, surnamed the Just, the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, was a Nazarite from the
|
||||
womb. During his whole life he never drank wine or strong drink, never ate meat, never
|
||||
shaved, and never took a bath. He was the only man who was allowed to go into the Holy of
|
||||
Holies. His raiment was always linen. So continually did he kneel in prayer, that the skin
|
||||
of his knees became horny, like a camel's knees. After Christ was ascended, the Apostles
|
||||
made James Bishop of Jerusalem; and even the Prince of the Apostles gave special
|
||||
intelligence to him after that he was delivered from prison by an angel. When in the
|
||||
Council of Jerusalem certain questions were mooted touching the law and circumcision,
|
||||
James, following the opinion of Peter, addressed a discourse to the brethren, wherein he
|
||||
proved the call of the Gentiles, and commanded letters to be sent to such brethren as were
|
||||
absent, that they might take heed not to lay upon the Gentiles the yoke of the Law of
|
||||
Moses. It is of him that the Apostle Paul saith, writing to the Galatians: Other of the
|
||||
Apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So great was James' holiness of life that men strove one with another to touch the hem of
|
||||
his garment. When he was ninety-six years old, and had most holily governed the Church of
|
||||
Jerusalem for thirty years, ever most constantly preaching Christ the Son of God, he laid
|
||||
down his life for the faith. He was first stoned, and afterward taken up on to a pinnacle
|
||||
of the Temple and cast down from thence. His legs were broken by the fall, and he was
|
||||
well-nigh dead, but he lifted up his hands towards heaven, and prayed to God for the
|
||||
salvation of his murderers, saying: Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do. As
|
||||
he said this, one that stood by smote him grievously upon the head with a fuller's club,
|
||||
and he resigned his spirit to God. He testified in the seventh year of Nero, and was
|
||||
buried hard by the Temple, in the place where he had fallen. He wrote one of the Seven
|
||||
Epistles which are called Catholic.

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Créditis in Deum,

Erigénda est nobis, fratres, ad Deum major inténtio, ut verba sancti Evangélii, quæ modo

in nostris áuribus sonuérunt, étiam mente cápere utcúmque possímus. Ait enim Dóminus
|

Jesus: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Créditis in Deum, et in me crédite. Ne mortem tamquam
|
||||
hómines timérent, et ídeo turbaréntur, consolátur eos, étiam se Deum esse contéstans.
|

Créditis, inquit, in Deum, et in me crédite. Cónsequens est enim, ut, si in Deum créditis,

et in me crédere debeátis: quod non esset cónsequens, si Christus non esset Deus.

Créditis in Deum, et in eum crédite, cui natúra est, non rapína, esse æquálem Deo;

Mortem metúitis huic formæ servi: non turbétur cor vestrum; suscitábit illam forma Dei.
|

Sed quid est, quod séquitur: In domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt; nisi quia et sibi

metuébant? Unde audíre debuérunt: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Quis enim eórum non

At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in
|
||||
God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house there are many mansions. And so on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It behoveth us, my brethren, to have our minds more given toward God, if we would that
|
||||
those words of the Holy Gospel which have just sounded in our ears, should become a living
|
||||
reality for our understandings. The Lord Jesus saith: Let not your heart be troubled. Ye
|
||||
believe in God, believe also in Me. Lest, being but men, their heart should be troubled by
|
||||
the fear of death, He strengtheneth them, even by the reminder that He is God. He saith:
|
||||
Ye believe in God, believe also in Me, for if ye believe in God, ye must needs believe in
|
||||
Me. And this were not so, if Christ were not God.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We believe in God, believe also in Him Who is by nature and not by robbery equal with
|
||||
God, for in that He emptied Himself, He did it not by laying aside the form of God, but by
|
||||
taking upon Him the form of a servant. Ye fear death for this form of a servant, but let
|
||||
not your heart be troubled, the form of God will raise it up again. But what signifieth
|
||||
that which followeth: In My Father's house there are many mansions. Was it not that they
|
||||
had fear on their own account, and needed for themselves to hear Him say, Let not your
|
||||
heart be troubled? Which of them trembled not when they had heard Him say to Peter, the
|
||||
lealest and boldest of them all: The cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt
|
||||
thrice deny that thou knowest Me.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Meetly were they troubled, for that they were about to be scattered from Him, but when
|
||||
they heard Him say, In My Father's house are many mansions, they had been comforted even
|
||||
if He had not also said, I go to prepare a place for you, for then they believed and knew,
|
||||
that, when all dangers and all trials were for ever over, they should be for ever with the
|
||||
Lord, with Christ and with God. Yea, though one man be stronger than another, though one
|
||||
be wiser than another, though one be holier than another, yet in My Father's house are
|
||||
many mansions. That house is an house wherein none are strangers, but every man shall
|
||||
receive a mansion therein according as his work shall be.

Athanasius Alexandrinus, catholicæ religiónis propugnator acerrimus, ab Alexandro
|
||||
episcopo Alexandrino diaconus factus est, in cujus locum successit. Quem étiam antea
|
||||
secutus fuerat ad Nicænum Concílium; ubi cum Aríi impietátem repressísset, tantum ódium
|
||||
Arianórum suscépit, ut ex eo témpore ei insidias moliri numquam destiterint. Nam coacto
|
||||
ad Tyrum concílio magna ex parte Arianórum episcopórum, subornarunt muliérculam, quæ
|
||||
accusaret Athansium, quod hospítio acceptus sibi stuprum per vim intulísset. Introductus
|
||||
ígitur est Athanasius, et una cum eo Timótheus presbyter; qui simulans se esse
|
||||
Athanasium, Ego ne, inquit, mulier, apud te sum diversatus? ego te violávi? Cui illa
|
||||
petulanter: Tu mihi vim attulísti; idque jurejurando affirmans, judicum fidem
|
||||
obtestabátur, ut tantum flagitium vindicárent. Qua cógnita fraude, rejecta est mulíeris
|
||||
impudéntia.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Arsénium quoque episcopum ab Athanasio interfectum Ariáni pervulgarunt; quem dum occulte
|
||||
détinent, manum mórtui déferunt in judícium, ab Athanasio ad usum mágicæ artis Arsenio
|
||||
amputatam criminantes. At Arsenius noctu aufúgiens, cum se in conspectu totius concilii
|
||||
statuísset, Athanasii inimicórum impudentíssimum scelus apéruit. Quod illi nihilóminus
|
||||
mágicis artibus Athanasii tribuéntes, vitæ ejus insidiari non desistebant. Quam ob rem in
|
||||
exsílium actus, in Gállia apud Tréviros exsulávit. Gravibus deinceps ac diuturnis sub
|
||||
Constantio imperatóre, Arianórum fautore, tempestátibus jactátus et incredibiles
|
||||
calamitátes perpéssus, magnam orbis terræ partem peragrávit; ac sæpe e sua ecclésia
|
||||
ejéctus, sæpe étiam in eamdem et Julii, Romani Pontificis, auctoritate, et Constántis
|
||||
imperatóris, Constantii fratris, patrocinio, decretis quoque concilii Sardicénsis ac
|
||||
Jerosolymitani, restitútus est, Ariánis interea illi semper infestis; quorum pertinacem
|
||||
iram, et summum vitæ discrimen fúgiens, in sicca cisterna quinque annis se ábdidit, ejus
|
||||
rei tantum conscio quodam Athanasii amico, qui eum clam sustentabat.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Constantio mortuo, cum Julianus Apóstata, qui ei in imperio successit, éxsules
|
||||
episcopos ad suas ecclésias redire permisísset, Athanasius Alexandríam reversus, summo
|
||||
honóre exceptus est. Sed non multo post, iísdem Ariánis impelléntibus, a Juliáno
|
||||
exagitatus, rursus discedere cogitur. Cumque ab ejus satellítibus ad necem conquirerétur,
|
||||
qua fugiebat navícula conversa in contrariam flúminis partem, iis qui se insequebántur, ex
|
||||
industria occurrit; et quæréntibus quantum inde abesset Athanasius, respóndit eum non
|
||||
longe abesse: ítaque illos contrárium tenéntes cursum effugit, atque Alexandríam rédiens,
|
||||
ibidem usque ad Juliáni óbitum occultus permansit. Qui paulo post, Alexandríæ alia exorta
|
||||
tempestáte, quatuor menses in paterno sepúlcro delituit. Ac denique ex tot tantisque
|
||||
periculis divinitus ereptus, Alexandríæ mórtuus est in suo léctulo, sub Valénte: cujus
|
||||
vita et mors magnis nobilitáta est miraculis. Multa pie et ad illustrándum catholicam
|
||||
fidem præcláre scripsit, sexque et quadragínta annos in summa témporum varietáte
|
||||
Alexandrinam ecclésiam sanctíssime gubernávit.

|
||||
The great Athanasius, the greatest soldier that the Catholic Religion hath perhaps ever
|
||||
had, was an Alexandrian. He was ordained Deacon by Alexander, Bishop of that city, whom he
|
||||
afterwards succeeded. He had followed Alexander to the Council of Nicea, where he wrestled
|
||||
triumphantly against the blasphemy of Arius. For this reason he was honoured with so much
|
||||
of their hatred by the Arians, that their vindictiveness never forsook him from that time
|
||||
forward. They called together a Council at Tyre, composed for the most part of Arian
|
||||
Bishops, where they suborned a wretched woman to charge Athanasius with having raped her
|
||||
when she had received him as a guest into her house. Athanasius therefore came into the
|
||||
assembly, and with him a certain priest whose name was Timothy. This Timothy arose as
|
||||
though he were Athanasius, and asked her, saying: Woman, was it I that was thy guest? was
|
||||
it I that raped thee? She cried out indignantly: Yea, thou it was that didst rape me — the
|
||||
which she attested with an oath, and called on the honour of the judges to punish such
|
||||
iniquity. Upon this discovery of her perjury, they drave the shameless woman from their
|
||||
presence.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Arians also accused Athanasius of having murdered the Bishop Arsenius. This Arsenius
|
||||
they kept shut up, and brought into the court a dead man's hand, which they declared had
|
||||
been his, and had been cut off by Athanasius to use in sorcery. But Arsenius escaped in
|
||||
the night, and when he appeared before all the Council whole and sound, the brazen-faced
|
||||
crime of the enemies of Athanasius was exposed. This appearance nevertheless they
|
||||
attributed to Athanasius being a warlock, and persisted still in their attack on him. He
|
||||
was driven into exile, and banished to Treves in Gaul. Thenceforth, under authority of the
|
||||
Emperor Constantius, that abettor of Arians, he was hunted to and fro with unceasing
|
||||
persecutions. He suffered hardships which it is difficult to believe. He was sent
|
||||
wandering all about the Roman world. He was twice more thrust out of his See, and again
|
||||
restored through the authority of Pope Julius of Rome, and with the protection of the
|
||||
Emperor Constans, the brother of Constantius, by decrees of the Councils of Sardica and of
|
||||
Jerusalem. The vindictiveness of the Arians never let him alone. In his third exile so
|
||||
great was the danger of his life from the pursuit of their undying hatred, that he had to
|
||||
lie hid for five years in a dry cistern, unknown to all men, save one of his friends who
|
||||
brought him food.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After the death of Constantius, Julian the Apostate, who succeeded him, allowed every
|
||||
sort of Bishop who had been banished to return to their own Churches. Athanasius therefore
|
||||
returned to Alexandria, and was received with profound reverence. But it was not long
|
||||
before the same Arians got Julian to hunt him down again, and again it behoved him to fly.
|
||||
A band of soldiers were sent in pursuit of him to kill him, and as he fled up the Nile,
|
||||
their boat pressed hard on his. Athanasius, before they were yet in sight, had his own
|
||||
boat turned round, and went down the stream to meet them. As the vessels passed one
|
||||
another the murderers called out to ask if they knew where Athanasius was, and the servant
|
||||
of God himself cried to them in answer, Ye are close to him! whereupon they redoubled
|
||||
their exertions to ascend the stream, and Athanasius went peacefully down to Alexandria,
|
||||
and found means of concealment till the death of Julian. Yet once again he had to fly from
|
||||
another persecution at Alexandria, and in this his fifth and last exile he hid himself for
|
||||
four months in his own father's sepulchre. From all these so many and so great dangers did
|
||||
God deliver him, and at last he died in his own bed at Alexandria, in the reign of Valens.
|
||||
He wrote much that is both godly and luminous in explaining the Catholic Faith, and
|
||||
governed the Church of Alexandria in great holiness, amid all changes of weather, for six
|
||||
and forty years.

In lege præcéptum erat ut constitueréntur civitátes refugiórum, ut, qui quomodocúmque ad

|

illud ipsum Verbum Patris, quod Móysi antea locútum fuerat, rursus hoc præcéptum dedit,
|
||||
Cum vos, inquiens, persecúti fúerint in civitáte ista, fugite in aliam. Pauloque post
|

súbjicit: Cum vidéritis illam abominatiónem desolatiónis, quæ dicta est per Danielem
|

prophétam, consistentem in loco sancto (qui legit, intélligat), tunc qui in Judǽa sunt,

Hæc cum scirent Sancti, ejusmodi tenuérunt suæ conversatiónis institútum. Quæ enim nunc

Ideoque et ipsum Verbum propter nos homo factum, non indignum putávit, cum quærerétur,

It is written in the Law: Ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that
|
||||
in these cities they which were pursued to put them to death might enter and be safe. And
|
||||
in the latter days when He was come, even that very Word of the Father, Which had spoken
|
||||
aforetime unto Moses, He gave again the same commandment: When they persecute you in this
|
||||
city, flee ye into another. And, a while afterward, He said: When ye shall see the
|
||||
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the Holy Place, whoso
|
||||
readeth, let him understand, then let them which be in Judaea flee unto the mountains; let
|
||||
him which is on the house-top not come down to take anything out of his house; neither let
|
||||
him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Saints, therefore, knowing these words of the Lord, have obeyed them in their lives.
|
||||
What the Lord hath now commanded by His Own Mouth He commanded through His Saints before
|
||||
that He Himself was come in the flesh, and to obey this commandment worketh in a man
|
||||
perfection, since whatever God commandeth is a thing which it behoveth man to do. For this
|
||||
cause, that very Word of God Which was made flesh for our sake thought it meet when they
|
||||
sought Him, even as at this present time they are seeking us, to hide Himself, and, when
|
||||
they persecuted Him, to fly and escape from their laying in wait for Him; although when
|
||||
that time came which He had Himself decreed, and wherein He willed, as touching the Body,
|
||||
to suffer for us all, He willingly gave Himself up to His enemies.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Holy men of God, therefore, have learnt to take example from their Saviour, and know how
|
||||
that it is lawful to baffle their persecutors by flying from them, and by lying hid when
|
||||
they seek them. For since they know not the day nor the hour wherein an all-seeing God
|
||||
hath ordained their end, they do not daringly give themselves into the power of such as
|
||||
hate them, but rather, knowing it to be written, My times are in Thy hand, and that the
|
||||
Lord killeth and maketh alive, they endure unto the end, they wander about, as saith the
|
||||
Apostle, in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, they wander in deserts,
|
||||
and hide in dens and caves of the earth, until either their appointed time come, or until
|
||||
more plainly God, the real Appointer of times, speaketh unto them, and chaineth up the
|
||||
persecutors, or manifestly giveth them over into the hands of the same, as may be His Own
|
||||
good pleasure.

Boniface was a Roman citizen who had lived in sin with the noble lady Aglae. The memory of
|
||||
this transgression overwhelmed him with exceeding sorrow, so that for penance he gave
|
||||
himself up to look for and bury the bodies of the martyrs. While he was at Tarsus, and
|
||||
apart from his fellow-travellers, he saw a great many persons being diverse ways
|
||||
tormented, because they confessed to believing in Christ. He kissed their chains, and
|
||||
vehemently exhorted them bravely to bear their sufferings, seeing that the same their
|
||||
affliction which was but for a moment, was working for them an exceeding, even an eternal
|
||||
weight of glory. For this cause Boniface also was taken, and his flesh torn off him with
|
||||
iron claws. Sharp reeds also were driven between his finger-nails and the quick, and
|
||||
molten lead poured into his mouth. In his agony he was only heard to say: I thank thee, O
|
||||
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Afterward he was dipped head foremost into a vessel of
|
||||
boiling pitch, and as he was drawn out unharmed, the judge in fury commanded him to be
|
||||
beheaded. At the time it was done there was a great earthquake, whereby many unbelievers
|
||||
were turned to believe in the Lord Christ. The fellow-travellers of Boniface sought him
|
||||
the next day, and when they knew that he had undergone martyrdom, they bought his body
|
||||
for fifty shillings, and after that they had embalmed it with spices, and wrapped it in
|
||||
linen, they carried it to Rome. The Lady Aglae, who had herself with great contrition
|
||||
given up her life to godly works, was told by an angel what had come to pass. She
|
||||
therefore went forth to meet the holy body, and built a Church in the name of Boniface,
|
||||
wherein his said body was buried upon the fifth day of June next after that fourteenth of
|
||||
May whereon in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia, under the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian,
|
||||
he had passed away to heaven.

Gregory, to whom is commonly given, on account of his extraordinary depth of sacred
|
||||
learning, the title of the Divine, was a noble Cappadocian, born at Nazianzus in that
|
||||
country, and educated at Athens along with St. Basil, with whom likewise, when they had
|
||||
acquired knowledge in diverse branches of earthly learning, he gave himself up to learn
|
||||
the things of God. This they did for some years in a Monastery, framing their opinions,
|
||||
not out of their own heads, but according to the interpretation arrived at by the wisdom
|
||||
and decision of the ancients. They were both distinguished by power of doctrine and
|
||||
holiness of life; they were both called to the duty of preaching the Gospel of truth and,
|
||||
through the Gospel, they both begat many sons unto Christ.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Gregory after a while returned home. He was first made Bishop of Sasima, and afterwards
|
||||
administered the Church at Nazianzus. Then he was called to rule the Church of
|
||||
Constantinople. That city, which he found reeking with heresy, he purged, and brought
|
||||
again to the Catholic faith. But this, which deserved for him the warmest love of all men,
|
||||
raised up many enemies. Among the Bishops themselves there was a great party against him,
|
||||
and to still their contentions, he, of his own free will, gave up his see, saying with the
|
||||
Prophet Jonah: Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto
|
||||
you, for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. So he went his way back
|
||||
again to Nazianzus, and when he had seen that Eulalius was set over that Church, he gave
|
||||
himself up altogether to think and write concerning the things of God.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He wrote much, both in prose and verse, with wonderful godliness and eloquence.
|
||||
According to the judgment of learned and holy men, there is nothing in his writings which
|
||||
anywhere strays from the line of true godliness and Catholic truth, and not a single word
|
||||
which any one can justly call in doubt. He was one of the latest champions of the
|
||||
doctrine that the Son is of one substance with the Father. No one has ever won greater
|
||||
praise for goodness of life, neither was any man more earnest in prayer. During the reign
|
||||
of the Emperor Theodosius, he dwelt in the country after the manner of a monk, and
|
||||
unceasingly taken up with writing and reading, until, in a good old age, he laid down his
|
||||
earthly, to enter on an heavenly life.

The Apostle John was one of the disciples of the Lord. There is a tradition that he was
|
||||
the youngest of the Apostles. He was a virgin when the Faith of Christ found him, and he
|
||||
hath remained a virgin for ever. This is why he was the disciple whom Jesus loved more
|
||||
than any of the others, and why he leaned on Jesus' Breast. When Peter, who had been
|
||||
married, wished to ask the Lord who it was that was about to betray Him, he dared not ask
|
||||
for himself, but beckoned to John, that he should ask it. After the Resurrection, when
|
||||
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that the Lord was risen, Peter and John ran
|
||||
both together to the sepulchre, but John did outrun Peter. Later on, when the Apostles
|
||||
were on the Sea of Galilee, in a ship, fishing, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples
|
||||
knew not that it was Jesus, till virgin knew Virgin, and that disciple whom Jesus loved
|
||||
saith unto Peter: It is the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
John was both an Apostle, and an Evangelist, and a Prophet. He was an Apostle, in that he
|
||||
wrote to the Churches, as their Teacher. He was an Evangelist, in that he wrote one of the
|
||||
Gospels, the like whereto was not done by any other of the twelve Apostles, save Matthew.
|
||||
He was a Prophet, in that when he was in the isle of Patmos, whither he had been banished
|
||||
by Domitian on account of his uplifting of his testimony for the Lord, he saw there that
|
||||
Apocalypse which containeth such unfathomable mysteries concerning things which shall be
|
||||
hereafter. Tertullian also saith that when he was at Rome, he was put into a vessel of
|
||||
boiling oil, but that he came out cleaner and healthier than he went in.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There is a great difference between his Gospel and the three others. Matthew beginneth to
|
||||
write as of a man: The Book of the Generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son
|
||||
of Abraham. Luke's first words of history relate to the priesthood of Zacharias; Mark
|
||||
commenceth with the prophecies of Malachi and Isaiah. The first hath the face of a man,
|
||||
with an human genealogy; the second hath the face of a calf, being a victim offered by
|
||||
priests; the third hath the face of a lion, even the voice of one crying in the
|
||||
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight; but the John of whom
|
||||
I write is like a flying eagle, whose kingly flight beareth him up above earth-gathered
|
||||
clouds, an eagle that wingeth his way toward the Father Himself, and which crieth: In the
|
||||
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Whence had the mother of Zebedee's children gotten her idea of the Lord's kingdom? He had
|
||||
but just said: The Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the
|
||||
scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to
|
||||
mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him. He had told His trembling disciples of the
|
||||
outrages that awaited Him in His Passion, and yet that mother came to Him to ask for her
|
||||
sons a share in the glory of His Triumph. I think it was because the Lord, after He had
|
||||
said all the rest, had said also: And the third day He shall rise again. The woman
|
||||
supposed that after His resurrection His kingdom would immediately be established, and
|
||||
that that would be fulfilled at His first coming which is promised at His second. And so,
|
||||
with womanly haste, she forgetteth the future, and catcheth at the present.

Joannes Etruscus, Justino seniore imperatore, rexit Ecclesiam: ad quem profectus est
|
||||
Constantinopolim auxilii causa, quod Theodoricus rex hæreticus divexabat Italiam. Cujus
|
||||
étiam iter Deus miraculis illustravit. Nam, cum ei nobilis vir ad Corinthum, equum, quo

||||
ejus uxor mansueto utebatur, itineris causa commodasset, factum est, ut, domino postea
|

remissus equus ita ferox evaderet, ut fremitu et totius corporis agitatione semper
|

deinceps dominam expulerit: tamquam indignaretur mulierem recipere, ex quo sedisset in

miraculum, quod Constantinopoli, in aditu portæ Aureæ inspectante frequentissimo populo,
|

qui una cum imperatore Pontifici honoris causa occurrerat, cæco lumen restituit. Ad

cujus pedes prostratus étiam imperator eum veneratus est.

|
||||
Rebus cum imperatore compositis, in Italiam rediit, statimque epistolam scripsit ad
|

omnes Italiæ episcopos, jubens eos Arianorum ecclesias ad catholicum ritum consecrare,
|

illud subjungens: Quia et nos, quando fuimus Constantinopoli tam pro religione catholica
|
||||
quam pro regis Theodorici causa, quascumque illis in partibus eorum ecclesias reperire
|
||||
potuimus, catholicas eas consecravimus. Quod iniquissimo animo ferens Theodoricus, dolo

paucis diebus cessit e vita, cum sedisset annos duos, menses novem, dies quatuordecim,

Pope John I was a Tuscan, who ruled the Church during the reign of the Emperor Justinian.
|
||||
He went to Constantinople to get help from Justinian in the troubles which the heretic
|
||||
King Theodoric was then causing in Italy. It pleased the Lord to mark this journey with
|
||||
wonders. A certain nobleman at Corinth lent to the Pope for his journey a very quiet horse
|
||||
on which his own wife was used to ride. But when the horse was returned to his owner he
|
||||
was found become so vicious, that by his restiveness and plunging he was always throwing
|
||||
off his mistress, as though he were not content to carry the lady after having carried
|
||||
the Vicar of Jesus Christ. When the nobleman and his wife found the beast to be thus
|
||||
worthless, they gave him for a present to the Pope. But a thing much more marvellous was
|
||||
that when the Pope, accompanied by the Emperor, and under the gaze of an immense
|
||||
multitude of people, who had come forth with Justinian to do him honour, was at the
|
||||
entering in of the Golden Gate of Constantinople, he gave sight to a blind man. Even the
|
||||
Emperor fell at his feet to show him respect.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When he had arranged his business with Justinian he returned into Italy, and forthwith
|
||||
sent out a letter to all the Bishops of Italy, bidding them hallow for Catholic worship
|
||||
the churches of the Arians, and adding these words: We Ourselves when We were at
|
||||
Constantinople on some matters pertaining to the Catholic Religion and others pertaining
|
||||
to the King Theodoric, hallowed as Catholic all their Churches which We were able to find
|
||||
in those parts. Theodoric took this rule very ill, and, having enticed John by fraud to
|
||||
come to Ravenna, he cast him into prison, wherein, in a few days, he died of filth and
|
||||
hunger. He had sat in the chair of Peter two years, nine months, and fourteen days,
|
||||
within which time he had ordained fifteen Bishops. A little while afterward Theodoric
|
||||
also died. St. Gregory writeth that a certain hermit saw him between Pope John and
|
||||
Symmachus the Patrician, whom he had likewise slain, going down into the fiery crater of
|
||||
Lipari, as though they who had been his victims were become the judges of his punishment.
|
||||
The body of John was carried from Ravenna to Rome, and there buried in the Church of St.
|
||||
Peter.

This Peter, who is called Peter Celestine, because when he became Pope he did so under
|
||||
the title of Celestine V, was the son of respectable Catholic parents, and was born at
|
||||
Isernia in Apulia. He was hardly entered on boyhood, when he withdrew into a desert, in
|
||||
order to keep his soul safe from the snares of the world. In solitude he fed his mind with
|
||||
heavenly meditation, and brought his body into subjection, even by wearing an iron chain
|
||||
next to his bare flesh. He founded, under the Rule of St. Benedict, that congregation
|
||||
which was afterwards known as the Celestine. His light, as of a candle set upon a
|
||||
candlestick, could not be kept hidden, and after the Church of Rome had for a long while
|
||||
been widowed of a shepherd, he was chosen without his knowledge and in his absence, to
|
||||
fill the chair of Peter. The news of his election filled himself with as great amazement,
|
||||
as it did all others with sudden joy. When, however, he was seated in the exalted place
|
||||
of the Papal dignity, he found that the many cares by which he was beset made it well-nigh
|
||||
impossible for him to give himself to his accustomed meditations; of his own free will he
|
||||
resigned the burden and the honour together; and, while he sought to return to his old
|
||||
way of life, he fell asleep in the Lord. How precious his death was in His sight was
|
||||
gloriously manifested by a Cross which appeared shining in the air before the door of the
|
||||
cell. He was illustrious for miracles both during his life and after his death, and when
|
||||
these had been duly investigated, Clement V., in the eleventh year after his departure
|
||||
hence, enrolled his name among those of the Saints.

The maiden Pudentiana was the orphan daughter of Pudens the Roman Senator. She was a
|
||||
Christian of eminent godliness. She with her sister Praxedes distributed to the poor the
|
||||
money which they obtained by the sale of their inheritance. She gave herself continually
|
||||
to fasting and prayer. By her care the whole of the household, being ninety-six persons,
|
||||
were baptized by Pope Pius. Whereas the Emperor Antonine had forbidden the Christians to
|
||||
offer sacrifice in public, Pope Pius used to meet with them in Pudentiana's house, to
|
||||
celebrate the holy rites. She was a gracious hostess to them, and ministered to them in
|
||||
such things as are needful for the body. She thus busied herself in works of Christian
|
||||
godliness until she passed from this present life to a better. She was buried in her
|
||||
father's sepulchre in the cemetery of Priscilla on the Salarian Way upon the 19th day of
|
||||
May.

Ubaldus Eugubii in Umbria nobili genere natus, a primis annis pietáte et litteris
|
||||
egregie est institútus; jamque adoléscens, ut uxórem duceret, sæpe tentatus, numquam
|
||||
tamen a proposito servandæ virginitátis recéssit. Sacerdos effectus, patrimónium suum
|
||||
paupéribus et ecclésiis distríbuit, et canonicórum regulárium ordinis sancti Augustíni
|
||||
institutum suscípiens, illud in pátriam tránstulit, atque in eo aliquámdiu sanctíssime
|
||||
vixit. Cujus sanctitátis opinióne evulgata, ab Honorio secundo summo Pontifice ecclésiæ
|
||||
Eugubinæ invítus præfícitur, et episcopalis consecratiónis munere decorátur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ad suam ítaque revertens ecclésiam, cum de consueta vivéndi ratióne nihil ádmodum
|
||||
immutasset, in omni tamen virtútum genere eo magis eminére cœpit, quo efficacius aliórum
|
||||
étiam salútem verbo et exemplo procuraret, factus forma gregis ex animo. Nam victu
|
||||
parco, vestítu moderáto, léctulo áspero et paupérrimo, crucis mortificatiónem jugiter in
|
||||
suo corpore circumferebat, dum inexplébili oratiónis studio spíritum quotídie recrearet.
|
||||
Hinc admirábilem illam mansuetúdinem est adeptus, qua gravíssimas injurias et
|
||||
contumelias non modo æquanimiter tulit, verum étiam mirifico dilectiónis afféctu
|
||||
persecutores suos omni benignitátis testimonio complectebátur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Biennio, antequam ex hac vita migráret, cum diutinis afflictarétur infirmitátibus,
|
||||
inter acerbíssimos corporis cruciátus velut aurum in fornace purgátum, Deo grátias
|
||||
indesinenter agebat. Adveniénte autem sacro Pentecostes die, cum multis annis ecclésiam
|
||||
sibi commissam cum magna cum laude gubernasset, sanctis opéribus ac miraculis clarus
|
||||
quiévit in pace. Quem Cælestinus Papa tertius in Sanctórum númerum retulit. Ejus virtus
|
||||
præcipue in effugandis spirítibus immundis elucet. Corpus vero, per tot sæcula
|
||||
incorruptum, magna fidelium veneratióne in pátria colitur, quam non semel a præsénti
|
||||
discrimine liberávit.

Ubald was born of a noble family at Gubbio in Umbria, and well established in godliness
|
||||
and learning from his earliest years. When he was a young man, it was often proposed to
|
||||
him to marry, but he never abandoned his determination to preserve his virginity. After
|
||||
that he was ordained Priest he divided his inheritance among the poor and Churches, and
|
||||
embraced the Institute of Canons Regular of St. Augustine. This Institute he brought to
|
||||
Gubbio, and for some time led therein a most holy life. When the fame of his saintliness
|
||||
had got noised abroad, Pope Honorius II set him, contrary to his own wishes, over the
|
||||
Church of Gubbio, and he was honoured with consecration as Bishop by the hands of the said
|
||||
Pope himself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When Ubald came to live as Bishop in Gubbio, he changed his way of life in no wise from
|
||||
that which he had led before, but his virtues began to be more eminent because his word
|
||||
and example were now more able to benefit his neighbours, to whom the shepherd of their
|
||||
souls was a pattern, not by outward showing only, but from his heart. He ate little,
|
||||
dressed simply, and slept upon a hard and very poor bed. He always bore in the body the
|
||||
dying of the Lord Jesus, while he daily fed his soul in unceasing and earnest prayer.
|
||||
Hence he acquired such wonderful meekness, that when he was most grievously wronged and
|
||||
insulted he not only took it patiently, but, by a strange impulse of love for them,
|
||||
embraced his persecutors with every proof of affection.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Just the space of two years before Ubald passed away from this present life, he was
|
||||
tried as gold in the furnace, by grievous bodily weakness, and, day after day, amid the
|
||||
sharpest sufferings, he never ceased patiently to give God thanks. He rested in peace on
|
||||
the sacred day of Pentecost, having for many years governed with great praise the Church
|
||||
which had been entrusted to him, and glorious for good works and miracles. Pope Celestine
|
||||
III. numbered him with the Saints. His strength is most chiefly shown in the casting out
|
||||
of evil spirits. His body hath remained without corruption for all these ages, and is
|
||||
reverenced greatly in his native town by Christ's faithful people. To them he hath more
|
||||
than once shown himself good at need.

Urbanus Romanus, Alexandro Sevéro imperatóre, doctrina et vitæ sanctitáte multos ad

This Urban was a Roman, who, in the reign of the Emperor Alexander Severus, by his
|
||||
teaching and holy life, brought many to believe in Christ. Among others was Valerian, the
|
||||
husband of the blessed Cecily, and Tiburtius, the brother of Valerian, both of whom
|
||||
afterwards bravely underwent martyrdom. It was Urban I who wrote the following words
|
||||
concerning the property of the Church: Those things which His faithful ones make offering
|
||||
of unto the Lord, must never be turned to any other use than those of the Church, or of
|
||||
our Christian brethren, or of the poor. They are the free-will offerings of faithful
|
||||
believers, the trespass offerings of sinners, and the inheritance of the poor. He sat in
|
||||
the chair of Peter six years, seven months, and four days, and being crowned with
|
||||
martyrdom, was buried in the cemetery of Praetextatus, on the 25th day of May. He held
|
||||
five ordinations in December, wherein he ordained nine Priests, five Deacons, and eight
|
||||
Bishops for diverse places.
