Author Matins temporal-cycle nocturn readings for Advent through Ascensiontide
Extends the post-Pentecost nocturn-readings sweep to the other 26 temporal ids spanning the rest of the liturgical year — Advent, Christmastide, post-Epiphany, Septuagesima through Lent, Passiontide/Holy Week, and Eastertide — transcribed directly from the reference engine's own per-season Tempora source files.

|
||||
# advent-1.yml/lent-1.yml for the general sweep method.

#
|
||||
# Nocturn 2 (Lectio4-6): one continuous excerpt from St. Augustine's book
|
||||
# Against Lying, chapter 9-10 (on Jacob's deception of Isaac). Responsory:
|
||||
# Lectio4's own (Responsory4, "Dum exíret Jacob de terra sua").

||||
#
|
||||
# Nocturn 3 (Lectio7-9): Lectio7 carries real homily prose after its bare

|
||||
# Leo the Great's own Homily on the Transfiguration of the Lord begins
|

Jacob quod matre fecit auctóre, ut patrem fállere viderétur, si diligénter et fidéliter
|
||||
attendátur, non est mendácium, sed mystérium. Quæ si mendácia dixérimus, omnes étiam parábolæ ac
|
||||
figúræ significandárum quarumcúmque rerum, quæ non ad proprietátem accipiéndæ sunt, sed in eis
|
||||
áliud ex álio est intelligéndum, dicéntur esse mendácia: quod absit omníno. Nam qui hoc putat,
|
||||
trópicis étiam tam multis locutiónibus ómnibus potest hanc importáre calúmniam; ita ut et hæc
|
||||
ipsa, quæ appellátur metáphora, hoc est, de re própria ad rem non própriam verbi alicújus
|
||||
usurpáta translátio, possit ista ratióne mendácium nuncupári.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quæ significántur enim, útique ipsa dicúntur: putántur autem mendácia, quóniam non ea quæ vere
|
||||
significántur, dicta intelligúntur; sed ea, quæ falsa sunt, dicta esse credúntur. Hoc ut exémplis
|
||||
fiat plánius, idípsum quod Jacob fecit, atténde. Hædínis certe péllibus membra contéxit. Si causam
|
||||
próximam requirámus, mentítum putábimus: hoc enim fecit, ut putarétur esse qui non erat. Si autem
|
||||
hoc factum ad illud, propter quod significándum revéra factum est, referátur: per hædínas pelles,
|
||||
peccáta; per eum vero, qui eis se opéruit, ille significátus est, qui non sua, sed aliéna peccáta
|
||||
portávit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Verax ergo significátio nullo modo mendácium recte dici potest: ut autem in facto, ita et in
|
||||
verbo. Nam cum ei pater dixísset: Quis es tu, fili? ille respóndit: Ego sum Esau primogénitus
|
||||
tuus. Hoc si referátur ad duos illos géminos, mendácium vidébitur: si autem ad illud, propter quod
|
||||
significándum ista gesta dictáque conscrípta sunt; ille est hic intelligéndus in córpore suo,
|
||||
quod est ejus Ecclésia, qui de hac re loquens, ait: Cum vidéritis Abraham, et Isaac et Jacob et
|
||||
omnes Prophétas in regno Dei, vos autem expélli foras. Et, Vénient ab Oriénte et Occidénte, et
|
||||
Aquilóne et Austro, et accúmbent in regno Dei. Et, Ecce sunt novíssimi qui erant primi: et sunt
|
||||
primi, qui erant novíssimi. Sic enim quodámmodo minor majóris primátum frater ábstulit, atque in
|
||||
se tránstulit fratris.

|

If we consider faithfully and carefully what it was that Jacob did by the advice of his mother,
|
||||
and wherein he seemeth to have deceived his father, it will appear that it is not a lie, but an
|
||||
allegory. If we denounce this, its mystic sense, as a lie, then must we also give the name of
|
||||
lies to even all parable, and to every figure devised to set forth the nature of anything, which
|
||||
is not to be taken in its literal sense, but in which one thing is to be understood under the
|
||||
name of another. And this be far from us. Whoso should do this, would bring the charge of
|
||||
falsehood against very many figures of speech, including that one called metaphor, in which a
|
||||
word is transferred from that meaning which belongeth to it, to some other, to which would, by
|
||||
such reasoning, be given the name of a lie.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The deep meaning is given; but what is considered is the lie, because men do not understand the
|
||||
way in which that signification, which is a truth, is set forth: but the falsehood is plainly
|
||||
expressed, and believed. That we may understand this more plainly by taking some points in
|
||||
illustration, consider with me what Jacob did. It is certain that he covered his limbs with the
|
||||
skins of goats. If we consider his object in point of fact, we shall find that it was to lie,
|
||||
because he did this that he might be thought to be he who he was not. But if we consider this his
|
||||
deed in that deep typical sense which it undoubtedly possesseth, we find that by the goat-skins
|
||||
are represented sins, and by him who covered himself therewith Him Who bore not His own sins, but
|
||||
the sins of others.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Verax ergo significátio nullo modo mendácium recte dici potest: as it was in the deed, so also
|
||||
was it in the word. For when his father said to Jacob, Who art thou, my son? he answered, I am
|
||||
Esau, thy first-born. If we take this in its sense relative to the two brothers, it will be
|
||||
apparent that it was a lie. If, however, we look at it relatively to that for the sake of which
|
||||
these words and deeds were written down, we shall see that Christ is here signified in His
|
||||
mystic body, the Church. Concerning her, He saith: Ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
|
||||
and all the Prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come
|
||||
from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in
|
||||
the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which
|
||||
shall be last. Thus did the younger take away the title and inheritance from the elder, and
|
||||
acquire it to himself.

Assúmpsit Jesus Petrum, et Jacóbum, et fratrem ejus Joánnem, et conscénso cum eis seórsum monte
|
||||
præcélso, claritátem suæ glóriæ demonstrávit: quia licet intellexíssent in eo majestátem Dei,
|
||||
ipsíus tamen córporis, quo divínitas tegebátur, poténtiam nesciébant. Et ídeo próprie signantérque
|
||||
promíserat, quosdam de astántibus discípulis non prius gustáre mortem, quam vidérent Fílium
|
||||
hóminis veniéntem in regno suo, id est, in régia claritáte, quam spiritáliter ad natúram suscépti
|
||||
hóminis pertinéntem, his tribus viris vóluit esse conspícuam. Nam illam ipsíus Deitátis
|
||||
ineffábilem et inaccessíbilem visiónem, quæ in ætérnam vitam mundis corde servátur, nullo modo
|
||||
mortáli adhuc carne circúmdati intuéri póterant et vidére.
|

|

|

Dicénte Patre: Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui, ipsum audíte: nonne
|
||||
evidénter audítum est: Hic est Fílius meus, cui ex me et mecum esse sine témpore est? quia nec
|
||||
génitor génito prior, nec génitus est genitóre postérior. Hic est Fílius meus, quem a me non
|
||||
séparat Déitas, non dívidit potéstas, non discérnit ætérnitas. Hic est Fílius meus, non adoptívus,
|
||||
sed próprius: non aliúnde creátus, sed ex me génitus: nec de ália natúra mihi factus comparábilis,
|
||||
sed de mea esséntia mihi natus æquális.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hic est Fílius meus, per quem ómnia facta sunt, et sine quo factum est nihil: qui ómnia quæ
|
||||
fácio, simíliter facit; et quidquid óperor, inseparabíliter mecum atque indifferénter operátur.
|
||||
Hic est Fílius meus, qui eam, quam mecum habet æqualitátem, non rapína appétiit, nec usurpatióne
|
||||
præsúmpsit: sed manens in forma glóriæ meæ, ut ad reparándum genus humánum exsequerétur commúne
|
||||
consílium, usque ad formam servílem inclinávit incommutábilem Deitátem. Hunc ergo, in quo mihi
|
||||
per ómnia bene compláceo, et cujus prædicatióne maniféstor, cujus humilitáte claríficor,
|
||||
incunctánter audíte: quia ipse est véritas et vita, ipse virtus mea atque sapiéntia.

Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up into an exceeding high
|
||||
mountain apart, and manifested forth the brightness of His glory. Hitherto, though they
|
||||
understood that there was in Him the Majesty of God, they knew not the power of that Body which
|
||||
veiled the Godhead. And therefore He had individually and markedly promised to some of the
|
||||
disciples that had stood by Him that they should "not taste of death till they had seen the Son
|
||||
of Man coming in His kingdom", that is, in the kingly splendour, which is the right of the
|
||||
Manhood taken into God, and which He willed to make visible to those three men. This it was that
|
||||
they saw, for the unspeakable and unapproachable vision of the Godhead Himself, which will be the
|
||||
everlasting life of the pure in heart, can no man, who is still burdened with a dying body, see
|
||||
and live.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When the Father saith: "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him", did
|
||||
they not plainly hear Him say: "This is My Son, Whose it is to be of Me and with Me without all
|
||||
time. For neither is He That begetteth, before Him That is begotten, neither He That is
|
||||
begotten, after Him That begetteth Him." This is My Son, between Whom and Me, to be God is not a
|
||||
point of difference; to be Almighty, a point of separation; nor to be Eternal, a point of
|
||||
distinction. "This is My Son, not by adoption, but My very Own; not created from, or of another
|
||||
substance, or out of nothing, but begotten of Me: not of another nature, and made like unto Me,
|
||||
but of Mine own Being, born of Me, equal unto Me."
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
"This is My Son by Whom all things were made, and without Whom was not anything made that was
|
||||
made, Who maketh likewise all things whatsoever I make, and what things soever I do He doeth
|
||||
likewise, inseparably and indifferently." This is My Son Who thought it not robbery, nor hath
|
||||
taken it by violence, to be equal with Me, but, abiding still in the form of My glory, that He
|
||||
may fulfill Our common decree for the restoration of mankind, hath bowed the unchangeable
|
||||
Godhead even to the form of a servant. Him therefore in Whom I am in all things well pleased, by
|
||||
Whose preaching I am manifested, and by Whose lowliness I am glorified, Him instantly hear ye.
|
||||
For He is the Truth and the Life, My Power, and My Wisdom.
