+# Nocturn 2-3, Quinquagesima Sunday (temporalId quinquagesima). Sourced
+# from Tempora/Quadp3-0.txt (Latin) / English/Tempora/Quadp3-0.txt. See
+# advent-1.yml/septuagesima.yml for the general sweep method.
+#
+# Nocturn 2 (Lectio4-6): one continuous excerpt from St. Ambrose's book On
+# the Patriarch Abraham, Book 1, chapter 2 (the Genesis/Fall-to-Abraham
+# Nocturn 1 cycle continues here from Sexagesima). Responsory: Lectio4's
+# own (Responsory4, "Angelus Dómini vocávit Abraham").
+#
+# Nocturn 3 (Lectio7-9): Lectio7 carries real homily prose after its bare
+# Gospel incipit (Luke 18:31-43, the healing of the blind man near
+# Jericho, "Et réliqua") - Pope St. Gregory the Great's Homily 2 on the
+# Gospels begins within Lectio7 itself, same pattern used throughout this
+# sweep. Combined Lectio7's homily portion (incipit dropped) with
+# Lectio8-9, using Responsory7 ("Veni hódie ad fontem aquæ") - the first
+# responsory of the group the combined reading spans.

+        Magnus plane vir Abraham, et multárum virtútum clarus insígnibus, quem votis suis philosophía non
+        pótuit æquare. Dénique minus est quod illa finxit, quam quod iste gessit: majórque ambitióso
+        eloquéntiæ mendácio simplex veritátis fides. Itaque cujúsmodi fúerit in eo viro devótio,
+        considerémus. Ea enim virtus órdine prima est, quæ est fundaméntum ceterárum: meritóque hanc ab
+        eo primam exégit Deus, dicens: Exi de terra tua, et de cognatióne tua, et de domo patris tui.
+        Satis fúerat dixísse: De terra tua. Ibi enim erat exíre de cognatióne, exíre de patérna domo.
+
+
+        Sed ideo áddidit síngula, ut ejus afféctum probáret: ne forte aut imprudénter cœpísse viderétur,
+        aut fraus áliqua mandátis cæléstibus pararétur. Sed sicut coacervánda fuérunt præcépta, ne quid
+        latéret: ita étiam proponénda præmia, ne forte desperáret. Tentátur ut fortis, incitátur ut
+        fidélis, provocátur ut justus: meritóque exívit, quemádmodum locútus est illi Dóminus. Et exívit
+        cum eo Lot. Hoc autem, quod pro magno inter septem sapiéntum dicta celebrátur: Séquere Deum;
+        perfécit Abraham, factóque sapiéntum dicta prævénit, et secútus Deum exívit de terra sua.
+
+
+        Sed quia ante terra ei fúerat ália, hoc est, régio Chaldæórum, de qua exívit Thare pater Abrahæ,
+        et in Charran demigrávit: et quia secum edúxit nepótem suum, cui dictum fúerat, Exi de cognatióne
+        tua: considerémus, ne forte hoc sit exíre de terra sua, de hujus terræ, hoc est, de córporis
+        nostri quadam commemoratióne égredi, de qua exívit Paulus, qui dixit: Nostra autem conversátio in
+        cælis est.

+        Abraham was truly a great man, illustrious as an example of many virtues; one the like of whom
+        the day-dreams of Philosophy have not been able to produce. That which she imagineth is less
+        than that which he did; his simple truth and faith were something grander than her lying rounded
+        periods. Let us then consider what this man's loyalty was. For that virtue is first to be taken
+        which was the source of all the others, and thus this was the first which God called for from
+        him, when He said: Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's
+        house. It would have been enough to have said, Get thee out of thy country, for there were his
+        kindred, and there his father's house.
+
+
+        But He gave the details of his sacrifice one by one, that He might see whether he loved Him, lest
+        also he should begin rashly, or should seek to evade the heavenly commandment. But as the whole
+        of the precept was plainly set forth, lest anything should be unconsidered, so also were the
+        rewards set forth, lest the burden should seem hopeless. He was tried as one that is strong, he
+        was roused as one that is true, he was called as one that is righteous; and he departed loyally
+        as the Lord had spoken unto him. And Lot went forth with him. That saying of the Seven Wise Men
+        of Greece is much spoken of: Follow God. But this did Abraham before the Seven Wise Men were
+        thought of; he followed God, and went out of his own land.
+
+
+        But, forasmuch as Abraham had before had another country, namely, the land of the Chaldees,
+        whence went forth Terah the father of Abraham, and came unto Haran, and forasmuch as he to whom
+        it had been said, Get thee out from thy kindred, took Lot, his brother's son, with him, let us
+        consider whether this Get thee out of thy country signifieth not: get thee out of this earthly
+        dwelling, namely, our body, from which Paul came forth, who said: Our conversation is in heaven.

And Abraham stretched forth his hand to slay his son; and, behold, the Angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said:\nR. Lay not thy hand upon the lad; for now I know that thou fearest God."

+        Redémptor noster, prǽvidens ex passióne sua discipulórum ánimos perturbándos, eis longe ante et
+        ejúsdem passiónis pœnam, et resurrectiónis suæ glóriam prædíxit: ut cum eum moriéntem, sicut
+        prædíctum est, cérnerent; étiam resurrectúrum non dubitárent. Sed quia carnáles adhuc discípuli
+        nullo modo valébant cápere verba mystérii, venítur ad miráculum. Ante eórum óculos cæcus lumen
+        recépit: ut qui cæléstis mystérii verba non cáperent, eos ad fidem cæléstia facta solidárent.
+
+
+        Sed mirácula Dómini et Salvatóris nostri sic accipiénda sunt, fratres caríssimi, ut et in
+        veritáte credántur facta, et tamen per significatiónem nobis aliquid ínnuant. Opera quippe ejus
+        et per poténtiam áliud osténdunt, et per mystérium áliud loquúntur. Ecce enim, quis juxta
+        históriam cæcus iste fúerit, ignorámus: sed tamen quid per mystérium signíficet, nóvimus. Cæcum
+        quippe est genus humánum, quod in parénte primo a paradísi gáudiis expúlsum, claritátem supérnæ
+        lucis ignórans, damnatiónis suæ ténebras pátitur. Sed tamen per Redemptóris sui præséntiam
+        illuminátur: ut intérnæ lucis gáudia jam per desidérium vídeat, atque in via vitæ boni óperis
+        gressus ponat.
+
+
+        Notándum vero est, quod cum Jesus Jéricho appropinquáre dícitur, cæcus illuminátur. Jéricho
+        quippe luna interpretátur: luna autem in sacro elóquio pro deféctu carnis pónitur: quia dum
+        ménstruis moméntis decréscit, deféctum nostræ mortalitátis desígnat. Dum ígitur Cónditor noster
+        appropínquat Jéricho, cæcus ad lumen redit: quia dum divínitas deféctum nostræ carnis suscépit,
+        humánum genus lumen, quod amíserat, recépit. Unde enim Deus humána pátitur, inde homo ad divína
+        sublevátur. Qui vidélicet cæcus recte et juxta viam sedére, et mendícans esse descríbitur. Ipsa
+        enim Véritas dicit: Ego sum via.

+        Our Redeemer, foreseeing that the minds of His disciples would be troubled by His suffering, told
+        them long before both of the pains of that suffering, and of the glory of His rising again, to
+        the end that, when they should see Him die as He had prophesied, they might not doubt that He
+        was likewise to rise again. But, since His disciples were yet carnal, and could not receive the
+        words telling of this mystery, He wrought a miracle before them. A blind man received his sight
+        before their eyes, that if they could not receive heavenly things by words, they might be
+        persuaded of heavenly things by deeds.
+
+
+        But, dearly beloved brethren, we must so take the miracles of our Lord and Saviour, as believing
+        both that they were actually wrought, and that they have some mystic interpretation for our
+        instruction. For in His works, power speaketh one thing and mystery again another. Behold here,
+        for instance. We know not historically who this blind man was, but we do know of what he was
+        mystically the figure. Mankind is blind, driven out from Eden in the persons of his first
+        parents, knowing not the light of heaven, and suffering the darkness of condemnation. But,
+        nevertheless, through the coming of his Redeemer, he is enlightened, so that now he seeth by hope
+        already the gladness of inward light, and walketh by good works in the path of life.
+
+
+        One must note that as Jesus drew to Jericho a blind man received his sight. Now, this name
+        Jericho, being interpreted, signifieth the city of the moon: and in Holy Scripture the moon is
+        used as a figure of our imperfect flesh, of whose gradual corruption her monthly waning is a
+        type. As, therefore, our Maker draweth nigh to Jericho, a blind man receiveth his sight. While
+        the Godhead taketh into itself our weak manhood, man receiveth again the light which he had lost.
+        By God's suffering in the Manhood, man is raised up toward God. This blind man is also well
+        described as sitting by the wayside begging, for the Truth saith: I am the Way.

+      la: "R. Veni hódie ad fontem aquæ, et orávi Dóminum, dicens: * Dómine, Deus Abraham, tu prósperum fecísti desidérium meum.\nV. Igitur puélla, cui díxero, Da mihi aquam de hýdria tua, ut bibam: et illa díxerit, Bibe, dómine, et camélis tuis potum tríbuam: ipsa est, quam præparávit Dóminus fílio dómini mei.\nR. Dómine, Deus Abraham, tu prósperum fecísti desidérium meum."
+      en: "R. I came this day unto the well, and I besought the Lord, and said: * O Lord God of Abraham, Thou hast prospered my way.\nV. Therefore the virgin to whom I shall say: Give me water of thy pitcher to drink; and she shall say to me: Drink, my lord, and I will give thy camels drink also; let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son.\nR. O Lord God of Abraham, Thou hast prospered my way."
