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).

# the whole day (`@Sancti/05-12`) with no Nocturn 2/3 override, so this

# Nocturn 3: Lectio7's Gospel citation (John 4:46-53) is a bare incipit

# ("Et réliqua") with no full pericope text given, so — per the

# sermon. No responsory given for either.

Nereus et Achilleus fratres eunuchi Flaviæ Domitillæ, a beato Petro una cum ipsa
|

ejusque matre Plautilla baptizati, cum Domitillæ persuasissent, ut virginitátem suam Deo
|
||||
consecraret, ab ejus sponso Aureliáno tamquam Christiáni accusati, ob præcláram fidei
|

confessiónem in Pontiam insulam relegántur. Ubi ad quæstiónem íterum vocáti et verbéribus

cæsi, mox Tarracinam perducti, a Minucio Rufo equuleo et flammis cruciati, cum constanter

|

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.

Flavia Domitilla virgo Romana, Titi et Domitiáni imperatórum neptis, cum sacrum

virginitátis velámen a beato Cleménte Papa accepísset, ab Aureliáno sponso, Titi Aurelii
|

Pontiam est deportata, ubi in carcere longum martyrium duxit. Demum Tarracinam deducta,

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.

Pancratius, in Phrygia nobili genere natus, puer quatuordecim annórum Romam venit

Diocletiáno et Maximiáno imperatóribus. Ubi a Pontifice Romano baptizátus et in fide
|
||||
christiana eruditus, ob eamdem paulo post comprehénsus; cum diis sacrificáre constanter
|

renuísset, virili fortitúdine datis cervicibus, illustrem martyrii corónam consecutus

est. Cujus corpus Octavilla matrona noctu sústulit, et unguentis delibutum via Aurelia
|

sepelívit.

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
|
||||
buried it on the Aurelian Way.

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
|
||||
centurionis ire paratus fuit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
amaritudinibus replemur: et tamen cæca mente carnalis concupiscentiæ ipsas ejus
|
||||
amaritudines amamus, fugientem sequimur, labenti inhæremus.

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.
