12 of June's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the major Duplex I class feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. One left unsourced (the Vigil of St. John the Baptist has only a Nocturn 1 scripture reading in the source, nothing proper to author for Nocturn 2/3). Found a new wrinkle: St. William Abbot has real vita content in both tracks, essentially the same story independently transcribed — sourced from the Tridentine file since only it has an English translation.

Apóstolus Paulus, quem certe invénimus sine ullis méritis bonis, immo cum multis méritis
|
||||
malis, Dei grátiam consecútum, reddéntis bona pro malis, videámus quid dicat, sua jam
|
||||
propinquánte passióne, scribens ad Timótheum: Ego enim jam ímmolor, inquit, et tempus
|
||||
resolutiónis meæ instat. Bonum certámen certávi, cursum consummávi, fidem servávi. Ista
|
||||
útique jam mérita sua bona commémorat; ut post bona mérita consequátur corónam, qui post
|
||||
mérita mala consecútus est grátiam. Dénique atténdite quid sequátur: Súperest, inquit,
|
||||
mihi coróna justítiæ, quam reddet mihi Dóminus in illa die justus judex. Cui rédderet
|
||||
corónam justus judex, si non donásset grátiam miséricors Pater? Et quómodo esset ista
|
||||
coróna justítiæ, nisi præcessísset grátia, quæ justíficat ímpium? Quómodo ista débita
|
||||
redderétur, nisi prius illa gratúita donarétur?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Proínde considerémus ipsa mérita Apóstoli Pauli, quibus dixit corónam redditúrum
|
||||
júdicem justum, et videámus utrum mérita ipsíus tamquam ipsíus, id est, ex ipso ei
|
||||
comparáta, an dona sint Dei. Bonum, inquit, certámen certávi, cursum consummávi, fidem
|
||||
servávi. Primo ista bona ópera, si non ea præcessíssent cogitatiónes bonæ, nulla essent.
|
||||
Atténdite ítaque quid de ipsis cogitatiónibus dicat; ait enim scribens ad Corínthios: Non
|
||||
quia idónei sumus cogitáre áliquid a nobis, tamquam a nobismetípsis; sed sufficiéntia
|
||||
nostra ex Deo est. Deínde síngula inspiciámus.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bonum, inquit, certámen certávi. Quæro qua virtúte certáverit, utrum quæ illi ex
|
||||
semetípso fúerit, an quæ désuper data sit? Sed absit ut tantus doctor ignoráverit legem
|
||||
Dei, cujus vox est in Deuteronómio: Ne dicas in corde tuo: Fortitúdo mea et poténtia manus
|
||||
meæ fecit mihi virtútem magnam hanc; sed memoráberis Dómini Dei tui, quia ipse tibi dat
|
||||
fortitúdinem fácere virtútem. Quid autem prodest bonum certámen, nisi sequátur victória?
|
||||
Et quis dat victóriam, nisi ille, de quo dicit ipse: Grátias Deo, qui dat nobis victóriam
|
||||
per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum?

The Apostle Paul was a man, who, when we first hear of him, had not only no merits, but a
|
||||
great many demerits. That man received the grace of God, Who returneth good for evil, and
|
||||
let us see in what sort of language, when the hour of his last sufferings was at hand, he
|
||||
wrote to Timothy. He saith: I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is
|
||||
at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Here
|
||||
he counteth his merits, whereon a crown was immediately to follow, just as grace had
|
||||
followed immediately on his demerits. Listen to what cometh next: Henceforth there is laid
|
||||
up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at
|
||||
that day. Unto whom would the Lord give a crown as a righteous Judge, if He had not first
|
||||
given grace, as a merciful Father? And how would that crown be a crown of righteousness,
|
||||
if there had not first come grace which justifieth the ungodly? How could a reward have
|
||||
been earned unless the power to earn had first been given unearned?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Let us now consider what were the merits of the Apostle Paul, which entitled him to look
|
||||
for a crown of righteousness from the Lord, the righteous Judge, and let us see whether
|
||||
these merits sprang from himself or were God's gifts to him. He saith: I have fought a
|
||||
good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. To begin with, these good
|
||||
works would have been nothing worth, unless they had come from good thoughts. Listen
|
||||
therefore to what this same Paul saith concerning good thoughts. He writeth to the
|
||||
Corinthians: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves;
|
||||
but our sufficiency is of God. Now let us take point by point.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He saith: I have fought a good fight. I should like to know in whose strength he fought;
|
||||
in his own strength or in strength given him from above? God forbid that this great
|
||||
teacher should be supposed not to have known the Law of his God, Who saith in the Book of
|
||||
Deuteronomy: Say not in thine heart: My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me
|
||||
this wealth. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is He That giveth thee power
|
||||
to get wealth. And, again, what is the good of a fight except it end in victory? And who
|
||||
is he that giveth victory save He of Whom this very same Paul saith: Thanks be to God,
|
||||
Which giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Sed dícere vidétur: Nolíte turbári, si, cum vos inter lupos mitto, tamquam oves et
|
||||
colúmbas esse júbeo. Nam, etsi possum contrárium quoque præstáre, et non permíttere ut
|
||||
grave áliquid patiámini, nec lupis tamquam oves subjécti sitis, sed effícere ut leónibus
|
||||
terribilióres evadátis; tamen sic éxpedit fíeri: hoc et vos quoque illustrióres fáciet, et
|
||||
meam declarábit virtútem. Sic enim póstea dixit Paulo: Súfficit tibi grátia mea, nam
|
||||
virtus mea in infirmitáte perfícitur. Ipse ígitur vos ut tales essétis feci.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sed inspiciámus quam prudéntiam éxigit: serpéntis certe. Nam, quemádmodum serpens totum
|
||||
seípsum tradit, nec mínimum curat si ipsum quoque corpus incídi necésse sit, dúmmodo
|
||||
caput suum íntegrum servet; eódem tu quoque modo, præter fidem cétera pérdere non cures,
|
||||
sive pecúnias, sive corpus, sive étiam vitam ipsam profúndere necésse sit. Fides enim
|
||||
caput est et radix; qua serváta, etiámsi ómnia perdas, ómnia tamen rursus majóre cum
|
||||
glória recuperábis. Idcírco nec símplices solum jussit esse, nec prudéntes solum; sed
|
||||
ambo hæc in unum míscuit, ut ea in virtútem convertántur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quod si rebus ipsis id ita fíeri vidére desíderas, lege Actuum Apostolórum librum;
|
||||
perspícies profécto, cum sæpe Judæórum pópulus in Apóstolos insurréxerit ac dentes
|
||||
exacúerit, illos, colúmbæ simplicitátem imitándo et cum decénti modéstia respondéndo,
|
||||
iram ipsórum superásse, furórem exstinxísse, ímpetum retardásse. Nam, cum illi dícerent:
|
||||
Nonne præcipiéndo præcépimus vobis, ne docerétis in nómine isto? quamvis innúmera
|
||||
possent édere mirácula, nihil tamen ásperum neque dixérunt neque fecérunt; sed summa cum
|
||||
mansuetúdine respondéntes dicébant: Si justum est vos audíre magis quam Deum, judicáte.
|
||||
Perspexísti simplicitátem colúmbæ, vide nunc serpéntis prudéntiam: Non enim póssumus,
|
||||
ínquiunt, nos quæ vídimus et audívimus, non loqui.

It is as though He said: Let not your heart be troubled, although when I send you forth
|
||||
as sheep in the midst of wolves, I bid you be harmless as doves; for, albeit, if I would, I
|
||||
could now make things otherwise, and suffer not that ye should have to bear anything
|
||||
grievous, neither be at the mercy of the wolves as are other sheep, but on the contrary,
|
||||
could make you more dreadful to the lions than the lions to you; nevertheless, thus must
|
||||
it needs be, and yourselves it will make more glorious, and My power it will wholly show
|
||||
forth. For thus was it that afterwards the Same Lord said unto Paul: My grace is
|
||||
sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. It is I that have made
|
||||
you to be what ye are.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But let us look what wisdom it is which the Lord requireth. It is the wisdom of the
|
||||
serpent. The serpent draweth all the rest of his body after his head, and it is no matter
|
||||
to him if his body be cut through, so long as he keepeth his head unharmed. Thus, O
|
||||
Christian, is it with thee. It is no matter to thee that for thy faith's sake thou
|
||||
shouldest lose all things else, money, or body, or, if need be, life itself; thy faith is
|
||||
thy head, and the root of thy being; hold fast to that, and, as long as thou hast that,
|
||||
although thou shouldest lose all things else, it will only be to receive them back again
|
||||
with interest an hundredfold. And thus it is that the Lord biddeth us, not to be
|
||||
single-hearted only, nor wise only, but both together, that therefrom we may be strong.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If thou wilt see how these words were brought to the proof in very deed, read the Book of
|
||||
the Acts of the Apostles. There thou wilt see how that oftentimes the Jewish people rose
|
||||
against the Apostles and gnashed on them with their teeth, but they, with dove-like
|
||||
guilelessness, gave them smooth answers, and turned away their wrath, and quenched their
|
||||
fury, and stopped their onset. When the Jews said: Did not we straitly command you, that
|
||||
ye should not teach in this Name? although the Apostles could have worked any miracles
|
||||
they chose, yet they neither said nor did anything sharp, but answered them with all
|
||||
meekness: Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God,
|
||||
judge ye. Here thou hast the harmlessness of doves; listen now to the wisdom of serpents:
|
||||
We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
