# Nocturn 2-3, Fourth Sunday of Advent (temporalId advent-4). Sourced from
|
||||
# Tempora/Adv4-0.txt (Latin) / English/Tempora/Adv4-0.txt. See
|
||||
# advent-1.yml for the general sweep method. (When Dec 24 itself falls on
|
||||
# this Sunday, calendar/temporal-id.ts's own Vigil-of-Christmas override
|
||||
# takes over that specific date's identity - see vigil-of-christmas.yml -
|
||||
# so this file governs the other six possible dates for Advent 4.)
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Nocturn 2 (Lectio4-6): one continuous excerpt from St. Leo the Great's
|
||||
# 1st Sermon on the December Fast and Almsgiving. Responsory: Lectio4's
|
||||
# own (Responsory4, "Nascétur nobis párvulus").
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Nocturn 3 (Lectio7-9): Lectio7 carries real homily prose after its bare
|
||||
# Gospel incipit (Luke 3:1-6, "Et réliqua") - Pope St. Gregory the Great's
|
||||
# Homily 20 on the Gospels begins within Lectio7 itself, same pattern as
|
||||
# advent-1/-2/-3. Combined Lectio7's homily portion (incipit dropped) with
|
||||
# Lectio8-9, using Responsory7 ("Jurávi, dicit Dóminus").

Si fidéliter, dilectíssimi, atque sapiénter creatiónis nostræ intelligámus exórdium, inveniémus
|
||||
hóminem ideo ad imáginem Dei cónditum, ut imitátor sui esset auctóris: et hanc esse naturálem
|
||||
nostri géneris dignitátem, si in nobis, quasi in quodam spéculo, divínæ benignitátis forma
|
||||
respléndeat. Ad quam quotídie nos útique réparat grátia Salvatóris, dum quod cécidit in Adam
|
||||
primo, erígitur in secúndo.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Causa autem reparatiónis nostræ non est nisi misericórdia Dei: quem non diligerémus, nisi prius
|
||||
nos ipse dilígeret, et ténebras ignorántiæ nostræ, suæ veritátis luce discúteret. Quod per sanctum
|
||||
Isaíam Dóminus denúntians, ait: Addúcam cæcos in viam quam ignorábant, et sémitas quas
|
||||
nesciébant, fáciam illos calcáre: fáciam illis ténebras in lucem, et prava in dirécta. Hæc verba
|
||||
fáciam illis, et non relínquam eos. Et íterum: Invéntus sum, inquit, a non quæréntibus me, et
|
||||
palam appárui iis qui me non interrogábant.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quod quómodo implétum sit, Joánnes Apóstolus docet, dicens: Scimus quóniam Fílius Dei venit, et
|
||||
dedit nobis sensum, ut cognoscámus verum, et simus in vero Fílio ejus. Et íterum: Nos ergo
|
||||
diligámus Deum, quóniam ipse prior diléxit nos. Diligéndo ítaque nos Deus, ad imáginem suam nos
|
||||
réparat: et ut in nobis formam suæ bonitátis invéniat, dat unde ipsi quoque quod operátur
|
||||
operémur, accéndens scílicet méntium nostrárum lucérnas, et igne nos suæ caritátis inflámmans, ut
|
||||
non solum ipsum, sed étiam quidquid díligit, diligámus.

Dearly beloved brethren, if we study attentively the history of the creation of our race, we
|
||||
shall find that man was made in the image of God, that his ways also might be an imitation of
|
||||
the ways of his Maker. This is the natural, real, and highest dignity to which we are capable of
|
||||
attaining, that the goodness of the Divine nature should have a reflection in us, as in a glass.
|
||||
As a mean of reaching this dignity, we are daily offered the grace of our Saviour, for as in the
|
||||
first Adam all men are fallen, so in the Second Adam can all men be raised up again.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Our restoration from the consequences of Adam's fall is sheer mercy of God, and nothing else; we
|
||||
should not have loved Him unless He had first loved us, and scattered the darkness of our
|
||||
ignorance by the light of His truth. This the Lord promised by the mouth of Isaiah, where He
|
||||
saith: I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will lead them in paths that
|
||||
they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These
|
||||
things will I do unto them and not forsake them. And again: I was found of them that sought Me
|
||||
not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after Me.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And we know from the Apostle John how God fulfilled His promise: We know that the Son of God is
|
||||
come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him That is True, and be in Him That
|
||||
is True, even in His Son. And again: Let us therefore love God, because He first loved us. For
|
||||
His great love then wherewith he hath loved us, God reneweth His likeness in us. And, moreover,
|
||||
in order that He may find in us the reflection of His goodness, He giveth us that whereby to work
|
||||
along with Himself, (Who worketh all in all,) lighting, as it were, candles in our dark minds,
|
||||
and kindling in us the fire of His love, to make us love not Himself only, but likewise, in Him,
|
||||
whatsoever He loveth.

Dicébat Joánnes ad turbas, quæ éxibant ut baptizaréntur ab eo: Genímina viperárum, quis osténdit
|
||||
vobis fúgere a ventúra ira? Ventúra enim ira est animadvérsio ultiónis extrémæ: quam tunc fúgere
|
||||
peccátor non valet, qui nunc ad laménta pœniténtiæ non recúrrit. Et notándum, quod malæ sóboles,
|
||||
malórum paréntum actiónem imitántes, genímina viperárum vocántur: quia per hoc quod bonis
|
||||
ínvident, eósque persequúntur, quod quibúsdam mala retríbuunt, quod læsiónes próximis exquírunt:
|
||||
quóniam in his ómnibus patrum suórum carnálium vias sequúntur, quasi venenáti fílii de venenátis
|
||||
paréntibus nati sunt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sed quia jam peccávimus, quia usu malæ consuetúdinis involúti sumus: dicat quid nobis faciéndum
|
||||
sit, ut fúgere a ventúra ira valeámus. Séquitur: Fácite ergo fructus dignos pœniténtiæ. In
|
||||
quibus verbis notándum est, quod amícus Sponsi non solum fructus pœniténtiæ, sed dignos
|
||||
pœniténtiæ ádmonet esse faciéndos. Aliud namque est fructum fácere pœniténtiæ, aliud, dignum
|
||||
pœniténtiæ fructum fácere. Ut enim secúndum dignos pœniténtiæ fructus loquámur, sciéndum est,
|
||||
quia quisquis illícita nulla commísit, huic jure concéditur, ut lícitis utátur: sicque pietátis
|
||||
ópera fáciat, ut tamen si volúerit, ea quæ mundi sunt, non relínquat.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
At si quis in fornicatiónis culpam, vel fortasse, quod est grávius, in adultérium lapsus est:
|
||||
tanto a se lícita debet abscíndere, quanto se méminit et illícita perpetrásse. Neque enim par
|
||||
fructus boni óperis esse debet, ejus qui minus, et ejus qui ámplius delíquit: aut ejus qui in
|
||||
nullis, et ejus qui in quibúsdam facinóribus cécidit, et ejus qui in multis est lapsus. Per hoc
|
||||
ergo quod dícitur: Fácite fructus dignos pœniténtiæ: uniuscujúsque consciéntia convenítur, ut
|
||||
tanto majóra acquírat bonórum óperum lucra per pœniténtiam, quanto gravióra sibi íntulit damna
|
||||
per culpam.

John said unto the multitude, that came forth to be baptised of him: O generation of vipers, who
|
||||
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? The wrath to come in one sense signifieth the
|
||||
great vengeance of the Latter Day: the sinner that repenteth not of his sin now, will have no
|
||||
mean whereby to flee from punishment then. Let us remark that addressing evil children copying
|
||||
the example of evil parents, the Baptist calleth them a generation of vipers in that they were
|
||||
envious at the righteous, and persecuted them; that they repaid evil for evil; that they hunted
|
||||
out ways of harming their neighbours, in all these things following the pattern of carnal
|
||||
parents, the prophet likeneth them to a venomous brood hatched from a venomous stock.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We also have sinned, we have fallen into wicked habits. What must we do, if we would flee from
|
||||
the wrath to come? Let us hear John. Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance. In which words let
|
||||
us remark that the Friend of the Bridegroom demandeth not only fruits of repentance, but fruits
|
||||
worthy of repentance. The former are one thing, and the latter another. In considering then what
|
||||
are fruits worthy of repentance, we may remark that if we had done nothing unlawful we might have
|
||||
had free use of things which are lawful, and been able to sanctify ourselves without abstaining
|
||||
from indulgence in the things of the world.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But if any one, for example, hath fallen into fornication, or perhaps, into what is much worse,
|
||||
adultery, he ought to make up for his lawless pleasure by abstaining in some degree from lawful
|
||||
enjoyments. He that hath sinned less is not bound to mortify himself as much as he that hath
|
||||
sinned more, nor he that is innocent like him that is guilty. Let every one hearing these words
|
||||
bring forth fruits worthy of repentance, proceed to judge himself by his own conscience, and the
|
||||
more he perceiveth that he hath sinned, the greater penance let him do.
