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
|

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

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!

virtus mea in infirmitáte perfícitur. Ipse ígitur vos ut tales essétis feci.

caput suum íntegrum servet; eódem tu quoque modo, præter fidem cétera pérdere non cures,

caput est et radix; qua serváta, etiámsi ómnia perdas, ómnia tamen rursus majóre cum

ambo hæc in unum míscuit, ut ea in virtútem convertántur.

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.

|

Outside the most holy Birthday of the Lord, we find celebrated in the Gospel the birth of
|
||||
only one other, namely, that of the blessed Baptist, John. As regardeth all others among
|
||||
God's holy and chosen ones we know that that day is observed whereon, with their work
|
||||
finished, and the world conquered and finally trampled down, they were born from this
|
||||
into a better life, even one of everlasting blessedness. In others is honoured the
|
||||
crowning of the struggle on their last day of dying life, but in John is honoured the
|
||||
first day; in him the very beginning is found hallowed. And the reason of this is, without
|
||||
doubt, because he was sent from God to bear witness to the coming of the Light, lest when
|
||||
It came It might take the darkness by surprise, and the darkness might not comprehend It.
|
||||
Now, John was a figure of the Old Testament, and showed in his own person a typical
|
||||
embodiment of the Law; and therefore John heralded beforehand the coming of the Saviour,
|
||||
even as the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us to the grace of Christ.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But as touching this, that he prophesied while yet in the hidden depths of his mother's
|
||||
womb, and while himself lightless bore testimony to the truth, we are to understand it as
|
||||
a figure how that while himself wrapped round with the veil and carnal ordinances of the
|
||||
letter, he by the spirit preached unto the world a Redeemer, and testified that Jesus is
|
||||
our Lord even while for himself, working under the law, the birth of the new dispensation
|
||||
was still in the womb of the future, and not come to day. The Jews were estranged from the
|
||||
womb, that is from the Law, that womb heavy with the Christ That was to be; they went
|
||||
astray from the belly, speaking lies; and therefore John came for a witness, to bear
|
||||
witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But as for this, that when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two
|
||||
of his disciples; this is the Law sending to the Gospel. For John here was a figure of the
|
||||
Law, imprisoned in ignorance, lying in the dark, and in a hidden place, and he was
|
||||
fettered through Jewish misunderstanding within the bonds of the letter. But of him was it
|
||||
said, as is written in the Blessed Evangelist: He was a burning and a shining light; that
|
||||
is to say, that, when the whole world was wrapt in the night of ignorance, this Saint was
|
||||
kindled by the fire of the Holy Ghost, to show before men the light of salvation, and at
|
||||
the hour of the thickest darkness of sin, appeared like a bright morning star to herald
|
||||
the rising of that Sun so right gloriously radiant, the Son of righteousness, Christ our
|
||||
Lord. And this is why John said of himself: I am the voice of one crying in the
|
||||
wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord.

Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered, and she brought forth a son.
|
||||
And her neighbours rejoiced with her. The birth of a Saint is a joy for many, for it is a
|
||||
good to all. Righteousness is an help to all, and therefore when a righteous man is born
|
||||
it is an heralding of his life, which is still to come, that the helpful excellency of his
|
||||
future should be hailed by the, as it were, prophetic joy of the neighbours. It is well
|
||||
that we should be told concerning the prophet, while he was yet in the womb, that we may
|
||||
know how that Mary was there; but we hear nothing of his childhood, because we know that
|
||||
it was safe and strong through the nearness of the Lord, Himself then in that womb which
|
||||
was free from the sorrows of pregnancy. And therefore we read in the Gospel nothing
|
||||
touching him save his coming, the annunciation thereof to his father, the leap which he
|
||||
gave in the womb, and his crying in the wilderness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It was not for him to feel childishness, who beyond all use of nature or of his age, when
|
||||
as yet he lay in his mother's womb, leapt at once unto the measure of the stature of the
|
||||
fullness of Christ. It is strange how that the Holy Evangelist hath judged meet to tell us
|
||||
that they thought to call the child Zacharias, after the name of his father, that thou
|
||||
mayest notice that the mother would have none of the names whereby their kindred were
|
||||
called, but only that name which the Holy Ghost had dictated, and which the Angel had told
|
||||
before unto Zacharias. The dumb man had certainly not been able to tell his wife by what
|
||||
name to call the child, and Elizabeth must needs have learnt by revelation what she could
|
||||
not have heard from her husband.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
His name is John; that is, it is not for us to choose a name now for him to whom God hath
|
||||
given a name already. He hath a name, which we know, but it is not one of our choosing. To
|
||||
receive a name from God is one of the honours of the Saints. Thus was it that Jacob's name
|
||||
was no more called Jacob but Israel, because he saw God face to face. Thus was it that our
|
||||
Lord Jesus was named before He was born, with a name not given by an Angel, but by the
|
||||
Father. Thou seest that Angels tell that which they have been bidden to tell, not matters
|
||||
of their own choosing. Nor oughtest thou to wonder that Elizabeth named a name which she
|
||||
had not heard, since it had been revealed to her by the same Holy Ghost Who had commanded
|
||||
the Angel to tell it.

John and Paul were two Roman brethren, the godly and trustworthy servants of Constantia,
|
||||
daughter of Constantine. At her death they spent in feeding Christ's poor the property
|
||||
which she left them. Julian the Apostate asked them to enter his household, but they
|
||||
bravely answered that they would not be servants to one who had run away from the service
|
||||
of Jesus Christ. Julian gave them ten days to consider on their choice, whether, at the
|
||||
end of that time, they would cleave to him, and sacrifice to Jupiter, or most surely die.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This interval they spent in distributing to poor creatures all that remained of their
|
||||
goods, that they might be quite free to depart hence to the Lord, and so succoured many
|
||||
by whom they have long since been received into everlasting habitations. On the tenth day
|
||||
Terentian, Prefect of the Praetorian Cohort, was sent to them, bringing with him the image
|
||||
of Jupiter. He explained to them the command of the Emperor, that they should worship the
|
||||
said image or die. They were engaged in prayer, but answered him that for their loyalty to
|
||||
Christ, Whom their understanding acknowledged and their mouths confessed to be God, they
|
||||
felt no hesitation in choosing to suffer death.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Terentian, to avoid the uproar, which might have been caused by their public execution,
|
||||
caused their heads to be cut off at home where they then were. They lifted up their last
|
||||
earthly testimony upon the 26th day of June. They were privately buried, and a story set
|
||||
about that they had been sent into exile. The fact of their death was made generally known
|
||||
by the unclean spirits by whom the bodies of many were tormented, and among others that of
|
||||
Terentian's own son, who was possessed with a devil, and delivered by being brought to the
|
||||
grave of the Martyrs. By this miracle he was led to believe in Christ, and so likewise was
|
||||
his father Terentian, who is said to have been the writer of the life of these blessed
|
||||
Martyrs.

This Peter was an exorcist, whom, in the reign of the Emperor Diocletian, Serenus the
|
||||
Judge cast into prison at Rome because he confessed the Christian faith. He there set
|
||||
free Paulina, the daughter of Artemius, the keeper of the prison, from an evil spirit
|
||||
which tormented her. Upon this, Artemius and his wife and all their house, with their
|
||||
neighbours who had run together to see the strange thing, would fain be made friends with
|
||||
Jesus Christ. Peter therefore brought them to Marcellinus, the Priest, who baptized them
|
||||
all. When Serenus heard of it, he called Peter and Marcellinus before him, and sharply
|
||||
rebuked them, adding to his bitter words threats and terrors, unless they would deny
|
||||
Christ. Marcellinus answered him with Christian boldness, whereupon he caused him to be
|
||||
buffeted, separated him from Peter and shut him up naked in a prison strewn with broken
|
||||
glass, without either food or light. Peter also he straitly confined. But when both of
|
||||
them were found to wax faithfuller and braver in their bonds, they were beheaded,
|
||||
unshaken in their testimony, and confessing Jesus Christ gloriously by their blood.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Elmo was a Bishop in Campania who, in the reign of the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian
|
||||
was beaten with clubs and whips loaded with lead, and afterwards anointed with melted
|
||||
pitch, sulphur, and lead, and boiling resin, wax, and oil. From all this he came forth
|
||||
whole and sound; which wonder turned many to believe in Christ. He was remanded again to
|
||||
prison, and straitly bound in heavy iron fetters. But from these he was wondrously
|
||||
delivered by an angel. At last, at Formi, Maximian caused him to be subjected to diverse
|
||||
torments, and in the end being clad in a coat of redhot brass, the power of God made him
|
||||
to be more than conqueror in this thing also, and to grasp the palm-branch of a glorious
|
||||
testimony, whereby he strengthened many in the faith and turned many to it.

Mark and Marcellian were two brothers, Romans, who were arrested by Duke Fabian for

believing in Christ, and fastened to a beam, to which their feet were nailed. The Judge
|

said to them: Wretched creatures, do think for a moment, and free yourselves from such

suffering. But they answered him: We have never enjoyed any dinner so much as we do what
|
||||
we are now undergoing here for Jesus Christ's sake. We have got ourselves a little fast to
|
||||
His love now. Would that He would let us suffer this as long as we are clad in this
|

corruptible body. Still suffering, they for a day and a night sang the praises of God
|

continually, and in the end were thrust through with darts, and so attained the glory of

Martyrdom. Their bodies are buried upon the Way to Ardea.

Dearly beloved brethren, in the joy of all the holy Feast-days the whole world is
|
||||
partaker. There is but one love of God, and whatsoever is solemnly called to memory, if it
|
||||
hath been done for the salvation of all, must needs be worth the honour of a joyful
|
||||
memorial at the hands of all. Nevertheless, this feast which we are keeping today, besides
|
||||
that world-wide worship which it doth of right get throughout all the earth, doth deserve
|
||||
from this city of ours an outburst of gladness altogether special and our own. In this
|
||||
place it was that the two chiefest of the Apostles did so right gloriously finish their
|
||||
race. And upon this day whereon they lifted up that their last testimony, let it be in
|
||||
this place that the memory thereof receiveth the chiefest of jubilant celebrations. O
|
||||
Rome, these twain are the men who brought the light of the Gospel of Christ to shine upon
|
||||
thee! These are they by whom thou, from being the teacher of lies, wast turned into a
|
||||
learner of the truth.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
These twain be thy fathers, these be in good sooth thy shepherds, these twain be they
|
||||
who laid for thee, as touching the kingdom of heaven, better and happier foundations,
|
||||
than did they that first planned thine earthly ramparts, wherefrom he that gave thee thy
|
||||
name took occasion to pollute thee with a brother's blood. These are they who have set on
|
||||
thine head this thy glorious crown, that thou art become an holy nation, a chosen people,
|
||||
a city both Priestly and Kingly, whom the Sacred Throne of blessed Peter hath exalted till
|
||||
thou art become the Lady of the world, unto whom the world-wide love for God hath conceded
|
||||
a broader lordship than is the possession of any mere earthly empire. Thou wast once
|
||||
waxen great by victories, until thy power was spread haughtily over land and sea, but thy
|
||||
power was narrower then which the toils of war had won for thee, than that thou now hast
|
||||
which hath been laid at thy feet by the peace of Christ.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It well suited for the doing of the work which God had decreed that the multitude of
|
||||
kingdoms should be bound together under one rule, and that so the universal preaching of
|
||||
the Gospel should find easier entry into all peoples, since all were governed by the
|
||||
empire of one city. But this city, knowing not Him, Who had been pleased to make her
|
||||
great, used her lordship over almost all nations to make herself the minister of all their
|
||||
falsehoods, and seemed to herself exceeding godly because there was no false god whom she
|
||||
rejected. But the tighter that Satan had bound her, the more wondrous was the work of
|
||||
Christ in setting her free.

|

quare Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum álii Joánnem putáverint, álii Elíam, álii Jeremíam
|

aut unum ex prophétis; cum sic potúerint erráre in Elía et Jeremía, quo modo Heródes
|
||||
errávit in Joánne, dicens: Quem ego decollávi Joánnem, ipse surréxit a mórtuis, et
|
||||
virtútes operántur in eo.
|

|
||||
|
||||
Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Prudens lector, atténde quod, ex consequéntibus
|
||||
textúque sermónis, Apóstoli nequáquam hómines, sed dii appellántur. Cum enim dixísset:
|
||||
Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? subjécit: Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Illis,
|
||||
quia hómines sunt, humána opinántibus, vos qui estis dii, quem me esse existimátis?
|
||||
Petrus ex persóna ómnium Apostolórum profitétur: Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi. Deum
|
||||
vivum appéllat, ad distinctiónem eórum deórum, qui putántur dii, sed mórtui sunt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar-Jona. Testimónio de se Apóstoli
|
||||
reddit vicem. Petrus díxerat: Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi; mercédem recépit vera
|
||||
conféssio: Beátus es, Simon Bar-Jona. Quare? Quia non revelávit tibi caro et sanguis, sed
|
||||
revelávit Pater. Quod caro et sanguis reveláre non pótuit, Spíritus Sancti grátia
|
||||
revelátum est. Ergo ex confessióne sortítur vocábulum, quod revelatiónem ex Spíritu
|
||||
Sancto hábeat, cujus et fílius appellándus sit. Síquidem Bar-Jona in nostra lingua sonat
|
||||
Fílius colúmbæ.

|

Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am? This question is well put, for they who speak
|
||||
of Him as the Son of man are men, while they that know of Him that He is God are called
|
||||
not men but gods. And they said: Some say that Thou art John the Baptist, some, Elias. I
|
||||
marvel that some commentators have thought it worth their while to search into the origin
|
||||
of each of these blunders, and to engage in a discussion of weary length as to why some
|
||||
thought that our Lord Jesus Christ was John the Baptist, some, Elias and others, Jeremias,
|
||||
or one of the Prophets. Their blunders concerning Elias and Jeremias were but of a piece
|
||||
with Herod's concerning John the Baptist: It is John, whom I beheaded; he is risen from
|
||||
the dead and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But who say ye that I am? Mark, discreet reader, from the context, that a distinction is
|
||||
here drawn between the Apostles and mere men. The Apostles are called gods. Who, asketh
|
||||
the Lord, do men say that I am, but, on the other hand, who say ye that I am? They, being
|
||||
but men, deal in human speculations, but ye that are gods, who be ye persuaded that I am.
|
||||
And then Peter, as the representative of all the Apostles, uttered the testimony: Thou art
|
||||
the Christ, the Son of the living God. He calleth God living, to mark the difference
|
||||
between Him and all other that be called gods, and who are indeed dead.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And Jesus answered and said unto him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona. The Apostle
|
||||
having testified of the Lord, the Lord in turn testifieth of the Apostle. Peter had said:
|
||||
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God, and he received, in return for that his
|
||||
testimony to the truth, the words: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona. Why blessed? For
|
||||
flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father. What flesh and blood could
|
||||
not reveal, the grace of the Holy Ghost had revealed. Meet for him therefore, because of
|
||||
his confession, is his name, as the name of one who hath revelation from the Holy Ghost,
|
||||
and therefore is called His son. Bar-Jona is, being interpreted, The-son-of-the-Dove.

Primus and Felician were two brothers who were accused of Christianity during the
|
||||
persecution by Diocletian and Maximian, and thrown into irons, which an angel broke, and
|
||||
so freed their limbs. In the presence of the Praetor they most earnestly clave to the
|
||||
profession of their faith, and were immediately parted one from the other. Felician's was
|
||||
the steadfastness which was first tried in diverse ways. They, however, that strove to
|
||||
argue him into sin, when they found that words availed nothing, fastened his hands and
|
||||
feet to a post, and left him to hang there three days without food or drink. On the fourth
|
||||
day the Praetor called Primus before him, and said to him: Seest thou how much thy brother
|
||||
is wiser than thou? He hath obeyed the Emperors, and they have made him honourable. Thou
|
||||
hast only to follow his example to be made partaker of his honours and favours. Primus
|
||||
answered him: What hath befallen my brother I know, for an angel hath told me. God grant
|
||||
that, seeing I have the same will that he hath, I may not be divided from him in
|
||||
uplifting of testimony. These words raised the wrath of the Praetor, and to the torments
|
||||
which he had already inflicted on Primus, he added this also, that he had boiling lead put
|
||||
into his mouth, compelling his brother Felician to be present and see it done. After that,
|
||||
he had them led into the theatre and two lions let loose upon them, in the presence of
|
||||
about twelve thousand people who were gathered together to see the show. The lions only
|
||||
fawned upon the knees of the Saints, making friends with them with motions of their heads
|
||||
and tails. This exhibition turned five hundred persons and their households to Christ.
|
||||
The Praetor, then, moved beyond all endurance by what had passed, caused Primus and
|
||||
Felician to be beheaded.

This Vitus was a child who was baptized without his father's knowledge. When his father
|
||||
had found it out, he used his best endeavours to dissuade his son from the Christian
|
||||
religion, but as he found him persistent in it, he handed him over to Valerian the judge
|
||||
to be whipped. But as he still remained as unshaken as before, he was given back to his
|
||||
father. But while his father was turning over in his mind to what severe discipline to
|
||||
subject him, Vitus, being warned by an Angel, fled out of the country, in company with his
|
||||
foster-parents Modestus and Crescentia. In his new home he gained great praise for
|
||||
holiness, so that the fame of it came to Diocletian, which Emperor sent for him to
|
||||
deliver his own child which was vexed with a devil. Him Vitus delivered, but when the
|
||||
Emperor found that with all his great gifts he could not bring him to worship the gods, he
|
||||
had the ingratitude to cast him and Modestus and Crescentia into prison, binding them in
|
||||
fetters. But when they were found in their prison more faithful than ever to their
|
||||
confession, the Emperor commanded them to be thrown into a great vessel full of melted
|
||||
lead, resin, and pitch. Therein these three, like the three Holy Children in the burning
|
||||
fiery furnace, sang praise to God, and upon that they were haled forth and cast to a lion,
|
||||
but he lay down before them, and licked their feet. Then the Emperor, being filled with
|
||||
fury, more especially because he saw that the multitude that looked on were stirred up at
|
||||
the miracle, commanded Vitus, Modestus, and Crescentia to be stretched upon a block and
|
||||
their limbs crushed, and their bones rent one from the other. While as they were dying
|
||||
there came great thunderings, and lightnings, and earthquakes, so that temples of the
|
||||
gods fell down, and many men were killed. As for that which remained of the Martyrs, the
|
||||
noble lady Florence took it, and embalmed it with spices, and honourably buried it.

Joseph, who by the Apostles was surnamed Barnabas, which is, being interpreted, the Son
|
||||
of Consolation, a Levite and of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought
|
||||
the money, and laid it at the Apostles' feet. When Paul, after his conversion, was come to
|
||||
Jerusalem, the disciples were all afraid of him, but Barnabas took him, and brought him to
|
||||
the Apostles. When tidings that a great number believed and turned unto the Lord at
|
||||
Antioch came unto the ears of the Church which was at Jerusalem, they sent forth Barnabas
|
||||
that he should go as far as Antioch. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was
|
||||
glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
|
||||
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and of faith, and much people was added
|
||||
unto the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus for to seek Paul, and, when he had found him, he brought
|
||||
him unto Antioch. And it came to pass that a whole year they assembled themselves with the
|
||||
Church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in
|
||||
Antioch. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send
|
||||
relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea, which also they did, and sent it to the
|
||||
elders by the hands of Barnabas and Paul. And Barnabas and Paul returned from Jerusalem,
|
||||
when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now there were in the Church that was at Antioch, certain Prophets and teachers and, as
|
||||
Paul and Barnabas, together with them, ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Ghost
|
||||
said: Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when
|
||||
they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So they,
|
||||
being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to
|
||||
Cyprus, in the which island, and in many other cities and countries, they journeyed about,
|
||||
preaching the Gospel with great gain to them that heard them. Nevertheless, at last, Paul
|
||||
and Barnabas departed asunder one from the other. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed
|
||||
unto Cyprus once more. And there it was that upon a certain day in June, in or about the
|
||||
seventh year of the reign of Nero, Barnabas crowned the dignity of the Apostolate with the
|
||||
glory of martyrdom. During the reign of the Emperor Zeno, his body was found in its grave
|
||||
in Cyprus; on his breast lay a copy of the Gospel according to Matthew, written by the
|
||||
hand of Barnabas himself.

This Basil was a noble Cappadocian who studied earthly learning at Athens, in company
|
||||
with Gregory of Nazianzus, to whom he was united in a warm and tender friendship. He
|
||||
afterwards studied things sacred in a monastery, where he quickly attained an eminent
|
||||
degree of excellence in doctrine and life, whereby he gained to himself the surname of the
|
||||
Great. He was called to Pontus to preach the Gospel of Christ Jesus, and brought back into
|
||||
the way of salvation that country which before had been wandering astray from the rules
|
||||
of Christian discipline. He was shortly united as coadjutor to Eusebius, Bishop of
|
||||
Caesarea, for the edification of that city, and afterwards became his successor in the
|
||||
see. One of his greatest labours was to maintain that the Son is of one Substance with
|
||||
the Father, and when the Emperor Valens, moved to wrath against him, was willing to send
|
||||
him into exile, he so bent him by dint of the miracles which he worked that he forced him
|
||||
to forego his intention.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The chair upon which Valens sat down, in order to sign the decree of Basil's ejectment
|
||||
from the city, broke down under him, and three pens which he took one after the other to
|
||||
sign the edict of banishment, all would not write; and when nevertheless he remained firm
|
||||
to write the ungodly order, his right hand shook. Valens was so frightened at these
|
||||
omens, that he tore the paper in two. During the night which was allowed to Basil to make
|
||||
up his mind, Valens' wife had a severe stomach-ache, and their only son was taken
|
||||
seriously ill. These things alarmed Valens so much that he acknowledged his wickedness,
|
||||
and sent for Basil, during whose visit the child began to get better. However, when Valens
|
||||
sent for some heretics to see it, it presently died.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The abstinence and self-control of Basil were truly wonderful. He was content to wear
|
||||
nothing but one single garment. In observance of fasting he was most earnest, and so
|
||||
instant in prayer, that he would oftentimes pass the whole night therein. His virginity he
|
||||
kept always unsullied. He built monasteries, wherein he so adapted the institution of
|
||||
monasticism, that he exquisitely united for the inmates the advantages of the
|
||||
contemplative and of the active life. He was the author of many learned writings, and,
|
||||
according to the witness of Gregory of Nazianzus, no one hath ever composed more faithful
|
||||
and edifying explanations of the books of the Holy Scripture. He died upon the 1st day of
|
||||
January, at which time so essentially spiritual was his life, that his body showed
|
||||
nothing but skin and bones.

Perfécta quidem renuntiátio in eo consístit, ut id assequámur, ne ad ipsíus étiam vitæ

|

This is perfect self-renunciation, when we attain to indifference as regards our own
|
||||
lives, and wring from death himself the confession that our trust is not in our own
|
||||
strength. The first step toward this crown of abnegation is to estrange ourselves from
|
||||
outward things, such as property, public reputation, habits of life, and affection for
|
||||
things unnecessary, whereof the immediate disciples of our Holy Lord have left us a fine
|
||||
example: James, for instance, and John, who left their father Zebedee and the boats which
|
||||
were their only means of getting their daily bread; or Matthew, who got up from the
|
||||
receipt of custom, and straightway followed the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But what need have we for our own arguments, or for the examples of holy men to confirm
|
||||
what we say, when we are able to cite the very words of the Lord Himself, and by them to
|
||||
move any earnest soul that loveth God? Such were they unto whom He plainly and
|
||||
unhesitatingly declared: Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he
|
||||
cannot be My disciple. And again, in another place, when He had said: If thou wilt be
|
||||
perfect, go, and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor; the completion of the sentence
|
||||
was: And come and follow Me.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This then, as we have taught, is self-renunciation: to unlock the chains of this earthly
|
||||
life, which passeth away, and to set oneself free from the business of men, and so to make
|
||||
ourselves lither and meeter to enter on that path which leadeth to God, and let our reason
|
||||
be more unhampered to gain and to use those things which are far more precious than gold
|
||||
or precious stones. In short, it is to have our heart in heaven and not on earth, so as to
|
||||
be able to say: Our conversation is in heaven. And, which is the great thing, this is the
|
||||
first step towards the attaining to be like Christ, who, though He was rich, yet for our
|
||||
sakes He became poor.

Leo II was a Sicilian. He was learned in sacred and worldly letters in the Greek and
|
||||
Latin tongues, and was moreover an excellent musician. He re-arranged and improved the
|
||||
music of the sacred hymns and Psalms used in the Church. He approved the acts of the
|
||||
sixth general Council, which was held at Constantinople, under the Presidency of the
|
||||
Legates of the Apostolic See, in the presence of the Emperor Constantine, the Patriarchs
|
||||
of Constantinople and Antioch, and one hundred and seventy Bishops. Leo also translated
|
||||
the decrees of the Council from Greek into Latin.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It was in this Council that Cyrus, Sergius, and Pyrrhus were condemned for teaching that
|
||||
there is in Christ only one Will and one Working. Leo broke the pride of the Archbishops
|
||||
of Ravenna, who had puffed themselves up under the power of the Exarchs to set at naught
|
||||
the power of the Apostolic See. Wherefore he decreed that the elections of the clergy of
|
||||
Ravenna should be nothing worth, until they had been confirmed by the authority of the
|
||||
Bishop of Rome.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He was a very father to the poor. Not by money only, but by his work, his labours, and
|
||||
his advice he relieved the poverty and loneliness of widows and orphans. He was leading
|
||||
all to live holy and godly lives, not by mere preaching, but by his own life, when he fell
|
||||
asleep in the Lord, having sat as Pope nine months and twenty-seven days. He was buried in
|
||||
the Church of St. Peter. In the month of June he held one ordination whereat he ordained
|
||||
nine Priests, three Deacons, and twenty-three Bishops for diverse places.

This William was born of noble parents at Vercelli in Lombardy. He was but little over
|
||||
fourteen years of age, when, impelled by a strange earnestness for holiness, he undertook
|
||||
a pilgrimage to Compostella, to the far-famed Church of St. James. This journey he made
|
||||
clad in a single garment, wearing an iron girdle wound two-fold round his body, and with
|
||||
bare feet. He accomplished his object under the severest hardships of cold and heat,
|
||||
hunger and thirst, and at the great danger of his life. After his return to Italy, he
|
||||
undertook a new pilgrimage, this time to the Holy Sepulchre of the Lord. But in the way of
|
||||
fulfilling this, there arose diverse and most grievous obstacles, whereby the hand of God
|
||||
drew the lad to the higher and holier life of a monk. He dwelt in the town of Monte
|
||||
Solicolo for two years, which he passed in constant prayer, watching, sleeping upon the
|
||||
ground, and fasting. At the end of this time, the power of God made him the mean to
|
||||
restore a blind man to sight. The fame of this miracle became so noised abroad, that
|
||||
William could no longer remain unknown. His thoughts turned again towards Jerusalem, and
|
||||
he again entered cheerfully on the journey.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He was again hindered by a vision from God, and remained among the Italians to be more
|
||||
useful, and to bring forth more fruit than he would have done among strangers. With
|
||||
extraordinary speed, he built a monastery upon the summit of Monte Vergiliano, ever since
|
||||
named Monte Vergine. Thither he called around him, as his comrades, devout men, and
|
||||
schooled them into a way of life most closely following the commands and counsels of the
|
||||
Gospel, in great part by a rule taken from the constitutions of Blessed Benedict, and
|
||||
supplemented by his own words, and the example of his own holy life.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As other monasteries were raised, the holy life of William became more known day by day,
|
||||
and brought men to him from all quarters, drawn by the sweet savour of his godliness, and
|
||||
the fame of his miracles. At his prayers the dumb spake, the deaf heard, the withered were
|
||||
strengthened, and they that suffered under diverse and incurable diseases received
|
||||
health. He turned water into wine, and openly worked many other miracles. Among all these
|
||||
things it must be told that a wretched woman sought him to lure him to impurity, but he
|
||||
raked hot embers out upon the floor and cast himself down upon them, and wallowed among
|
||||
them, and escaped unhurt. When this thing came to the knowledge of Roger I., King of
|
||||
Naples, it roused in him the highest reverence for the man of God. At the last, after
|
||||
foretelling his own death to the King and to others, and full of good works and miracles,
|
||||
he fell asleep in the Lord, in the year of salvation 1142.
