Continues the full-year sanctoral import: the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord (Duplex I Classis, full proper office, elevated by Pius XI for the 1933 Redemption jubilee), the Visitation of the BVM (Duplex II Classis, full proper office), St. Leo II, St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria, the Octave Day of Ss. Peter and Paul (own real content, not a bare continuation), Ss. Cyril and Methodius, St. Elizabeth of Portugal, St. Henry, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Vincent de Paul, and St. Ignatius of Loyola. Also fixes a real pre-existing bug surfaced while authoring St. Leo II: an earlier June sanctoral pull had mapped him to "06-28" (his own vita text mentions his burial "upon the 28th day of June," but his actual liturgical feast, per the reference engine's Sancti/07-03.txt, is July 3) with no saints/st-leo-ii.yml ever authored for it -- a wrong-date stub, same class of artifact as the pre-existing St. Apollinaris wrong-date bug already documented in july-sanctoral.test.ts. Removed the stale June 28 entry now that he's correctly authored on July 3. Two day-label tests pinned to Trinity-Sunday-relative dates that now collide with new fixed feasts (Jul 6: Octave Day of Ss. Peter and Paul) were moved to collision-free years/dates, and the July stub test covering "pure octave-continuation days" was updated to a date (July 4) that's still genuinely unmapped, since most of that range turned out to have real content after all.

Vis sánguinis Christi audíre virtútem? Redeámus ad ejus exémplum, et priórem
|
||||
typum recordémur, et prístinam Scriptúram narrémus. In Ægýpto, nocte média,
|
||||
Ægýptiis Deus plagam décimam minabátur, ut eórum primogénita deperírent, quia
|
||||
primogénitum ejus pópulum detinébant. Sed, ne amáta plebs Judæórum una cum
|
||||
illis periclitarétur, quia unus locus continébat univérsos, remédium
|
||||
discretiónis invéntum est. Proínde exémplum mirábile, ut discas in veritáte
|
||||
virtútem. Ira divínæ indignatiónis operabátur, et domos síngulas mórtifer
|
||||
circuíbat. Quid ígitur Móyses? Occídite, inquit, agnum annículum, et sánguine
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
per eum demonstrátur exémplum.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nam, sicut regnántium státuæ, quæ sine causa sunt et sermóne, nonnúmquam ad se
|
||||
confugiéntibus homínibus, ánima et ratióne decorátis, subveníre consuevérunt,
|
||||
non quia sunt ære conféctæ, sed quia rétinent imáginem principálem; ita et
|
||||
sanguis ille, qui irrationális fuit, ánimas habéntes hómines liberávit, non
|
||||
quia sanguis fuit, sed quia hujus sánguinis ostendébat advéntum. Et tunc
|
||||
Angelus ille vastátor, cum linítos postes atque áditus pervidéret, transjécit
|
||||
gressus et non est ausus intráre. Nunc ergo si víderit inimícus, non póstibus
|
||||
impósitum sánguinem typi, sed fidélium ore lucéntem sánguinem veritátis
|
||||
Christi, templi póstibus dedicátum, multo magis se súbtrahet. Si enim Angelus
|
||||
cessit exémplo, quanto magis terrébitur inimícus, si ipsam perspéxerit
|
||||
veritátem? Vis et áliam hujus sánguinis scrutári virtútem? Volo. Unde primum
|
||||
occúrrit, inspícias, et de quo fonte manávit. De ipsa primum cruce procéssit;
|
||||
latus illud Domínicum inítium fuit. Latus miles apéruit, et templi sancti
|
||||
paríetem patefécit; et ego thesáurum præclárum invéni, et fulgéntes divítias
|
||||
me grátulor reperíre.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sic et de illo agno factum est: Judǽi ovem occidérunt, et ego fructum de
|
||||
sacraménto cognóvi. De látere sanguis et aqua. Nolo tam fácile, audítor,
|
||||
tránseas tanti secréta mystérii; restat enim mihi mýstica atque secretális
|
||||
orátio. Dixi baptísmatis sýmbolum et mysteriórum, aquam illam et sánguinem
|
||||
demonstráre. Ex his enim sancta fundáta est Ecclésia per lavácri
|
||||
regeneratiónem, et renovatiónem Spíritus Sancti. Per baptísma, inquam, et
|
||||
mystéria, quæ ex látere vidéntur esse proláta. Ex látere ígitur suo Christus
|
||||
ædificávit Ecclésiam, sicut de látere Adam ejus conjux Heva proláta est. Nam
|
||||
hac de causa Paulus quoque testátur dicens: De córpore ejus et de óssibus ejus
|
||||
sumus; latus vidélicet illud signíficans. Nam, sicut de illo látere Deus fecit
|
||||
féminam procreári, sic et de suo látere Christus aquam nobis et sánguinem
|
||||
dedit, unde repararétur Ecclésia.
|

||||
Wouldest thou hear the power of the Blood of Christ? Then let us look at the
|
||||
figure thereof, let us call to mind the old type, and tell the story written in
|
||||
the ancient Scriptures. The Egyptians would not let God take away Israel His
|
||||
firstborn, and Moses said: Thus saith the Lord: About midnight will I go out
|
||||
into the midst of Egypt, and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die.
|
||||
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them: Draw out
|
||||
and take you a lamb according to your families and kill the Passover. And ye
|
||||
shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and
|
||||
strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood; and when he seeth the
|
||||
blood upon the lintel and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the
|
||||
door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite
|
||||
you. And could the blood of a sheep save a man? Yea, in good sooth, not
|
||||
because it was blood, but because it represented in a figure the Blood of the
|
||||
Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The statues of monarchs, mindless and speechless images though they be, have
|
||||
sometimes been an helpful refuge to men endowed with soul and reason, not
|
||||
because they are works of the brazier's skill, but because the likeness they
|
||||
bear is a King's. And just so did this unconscious blood deliver the lives of
|
||||
men, not because it was blood, but because it foreshadowed the shedding of the
|
||||
Blood of Jesus. On that night in Egypt, when the destroying Angel saw the
|
||||
blood upon the lintel and on the two side-posts, he passed over the door, and
|
||||
came not in unto the house. Even so now much more will the destroyer of souls
|
||||
flee away when he seeth, not the lintel and the two side-posts sprinkled with
|
||||
the blood of a lamb, but the mouth of the faithful Christian, the living
|
||||
dwelling of the Holy Ghost, shining with the blood of the True Messiah. If the
|
||||
Angel let the type be, how shall not the enemy quail before the Reality?
|
||||
Wouldest thou hear more of the power of that Blood? I am willing. Consider from
|
||||
what source it welleth, from what fountain it springeth. Its fountain is the
|
||||
Heart of the Lord, pierced for us upon the Cross.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And so was it done concerning that Lamb: the Jews killed a sheep, and I have
|
||||
learned the value of the sacrament. From the Side flowed forth Blood and
|
||||
Water. I would not, O my hearer, that thou shouldest pass by the depths of such
|
||||
a mystery as this without pausing; for I have yet a mystic and mysterious
|
||||
discourse to deliver. I have said that the Water and Blood shewed forth
|
||||
symbolically baptism and the sacraments. For from these, holy Church was
|
||||
founded by the laver of regeneration, and the renovation of the Holy Ghost.
|
||||
It was therefore out of the Side of Christ that the Church was created, just
|
||||
as it was out of the side of Adam that Eve was raised up to be his bride. This
|
||||
is the reason why Paul saith: We are members of his Body, and of his bones; for
|
||||
even as God made the woman Eve out of the rib which he had taken out of the
|
||||
side of Adam, so hath Christ made the Church out of the Blood and Water which
|
||||
he made to flow for us out of his own Side.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On the occasion of the nineteenth centenary of the accomplishment of the
|
||||
redemption of mankind, as a fitting celebration of this ineffable blessing,
|
||||
Pope Pius XI decreed an extraordinary Jubilee. During that year the Supreme
|
||||
Pontiff, wishing that the fruits of the Precious Blood of Christ, the Lamb
|
||||
without spot, might redound more abundantly upon mankind and that the minds of
|
||||
the faithful be impressed with more vivid recollections of this same Blood as
|
||||
the price of their redemption, elevated the Feast of the Most Precious Blood
|
||||
of our Lord Jesus Christ to the rank of a double of the first class, to be
|
||||
celebrated as such every year by the universal Church.

Vigilánti verbo Evangelísta usus est, ut non díceret: Latus ejus percússit,
|
||||
aut vulnerávit, aut quid áliud, sed Apéruit; ut illic quodámmodo vitæ óstium
|
||||
panderétur, unde sacraménta Ecclésiæ manavérunt, sine quibus ad vitam, quæ
|

vera vita est, non intrátur. Ille sanguis qui fusus est, in remissiónem fusus

est peccatórum. Aqua illa salutáre témperat póculum; hæc et lavácrum præstat

et potum. Hoc prænuntiábat quod Noë in látere arcæ óstium fácere jussus est,

appelláta est vita matérque vivórum. Magnum quippe significávit bonum, ante

magnum prævaricatiónis malum. Hic secúndus Adam, inclináto cápite, in cruce

|

|

|

Hábuit ille sánguinem, unde nos redímeret; et ad hoc accépit sánguinem, ut

est pro te; si nolúeris esse, non est datus pro te. Forte enim dicis: Hábuit

|
||||
quid illi remánsit, quod det et pro me? Hoc est magnum, quia semel dedit, et

|

The Evangelist speaketh carefully. He saith not that he smote the Side, nor
|
||||
yet that he wounded It, nor yet anything else, but pierced It, to fling wide
|
||||
the entrance unto life, whence flow the Sacraments of the Church, those
|
||||
Sacraments without which there is no entrance unto the life which is life
|
||||
indeed. That Blood which was shed there was shed for the remission of sins,
|
||||
that Water is the water that mantleth in the cup of salvation. Therein are we
|
||||
washed, and thereof do we drink. Of this was it a type when it was said unto
|
||||
Noah: The door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof. This name set
|
||||
forth a great good, before it became associated with the bitter fruit of a
|
||||
great evil. And here we have the Second Adam bowing His Head, and the deep
|
||||
sleep of death falling upon Him upon the Cross, and He sleepeth, that the Lord
|
||||
God may take a thing out of His side, and may make thereof a wife for Him. O
|
||||
what a death was His, which quickeneth the dead! What is cleaner than His
|
||||
Blood? What more health-giving than His wounding?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then were being held bondsmen to the devil, slaves to evil spirits. But they
|
||||
have been redeemed from that bondage. They had been able to sell themselves,
|
||||
but they were not able to redeem themselves. A Redeemer came and paid the
|
||||
price for them. He shed His Blood, and at that cost bought the world. Ye ask
|
||||
what He bought? Look what He paid, and ye shall see what He bought. Christ's
|
||||
Blood was the price. What is His Blood worth? What, but the whole world? What,
|
||||
but all men? They are very unthankful for His redemption, or very proud, who
|
||||
say that It is only precious enough to buy the Africans, or that they
|
||||
themselves are so precious that It was shed only for them. Let there be an end
|
||||
to such conceit, an end to such vainglory. What He paid, He paid for all.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That Blood was his own, and thereby he redeemed us. Yea, it was to this end
|
||||
that he took Flesh and Blood, namely that he might shed his Blood in order to
|
||||
redeem us. If thou wilt accept it, the Blood of thy Lord was given for thee. If
|
||||
thou wilt not accept it, it was not given for thee. For perchance thou sayest:
|
||||
My God had Blood, with which he redeemed me, but now since he hath suffered,
|
||||
he hath given it all; what hath remained to him, that he may also give any of
|
||||
it for me? This is a great thing, because he gave once, and he gave for all.
|
||||
The Blood of Christ is salvation to him that doth accept it, punishment to him
|
||||
that doth not accept it. Why therefore dost thou hesitate to be set free from
|
||||
the second death, thou who dost not wish to die? By this thou art set free, if
|
||||
thou art willing to take up thy Cross, and follow the Lord; for he took up his
|
||||
Cross and sought his servant.

The blessed Apostles, who have toiled so much for us, what thanks shall we
|
||||
give you? When I remember thee, O Peter, I am lost in amazement; Paul, when I
|
||||
think of thee, my heart overwhelmeth me, and I weep. When I look at your
|
||||
sufferings I know not what to say or what to speak. How many prisons have ye
|
||||
made holy! How many fetters have ye made honourable! How many torments have
|
||||
ye endured! How many reproaches have ye borne! How have ye carried Christ!
|
||||
How have ye made the Churches glad by your preaching! Verily, your tongues
|
||||
were blessed instruments; it was for the Church's sake that your limbs were
|
||||
bloody. Ye have been made in all things followers of Christ. Your sound is
|
||||
gone out through all the earth, and your words to the ends of the world.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Rejoice, O Peter, who hast been gladdened by the wood of the Cross of Christ.
|
||||
It was a showing forth of thy Teacher that thou didst will to be crucified,
|
||||
not like the Lord Christ, standing upright, but with thine head toward the
|
||||
earth, as one that made a way from earth to heaven. Blessed are the nails
|
||||
which pierced thine holy limbs. With sure and certain hope didst thou commend
|
||||
thy spirit into the hands of the Lord, thou who hadst been a faithful servant
|
||||
to Him and to His Bride the Church, thou who in thy warm heart hadst loved
|
||||
the Lord more loyally than all the Apostles.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Rejoice thou also, O blessed Paul, whose head was cut off by the sword, thou
|
||||
whose fearless devotion no words can express. What sword was that which
|
||||
divided thine holy neck, that instrument of the Lord's work, worthy that
|
||||
heaven should wonder at it, and earth worship it? What place was that which
|
||||
drank in thy blood, that appeared like drops of milk upon the raiment of him
|
||||
who smote thee, and made the savage and his comrades to become strangely
|
||||
gentle and faithful? Would that I could have that sword for a crown, and the
|
||||
nails of Peter set therein as the jewels of the diadem.

The Lord commanded His disciples to cross over to the other side, and
|
||||
constrained them to get into a ship. By these expressions we perceive that
|
||||
they were unwilling to leave the Lord, the love of their Teacher making them
|
||||
desire not to lose a moment of His company. And when He had sent the
|
||||
multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray. Perchance, if
|
||||
Peter, and James, and John, who had seen Him in the glory of the
|
||||
Transfiguration, had been with Him, they would have gone up into the
|
||||
mountain with Him, but the common herd could not follow Him, save when He
|
||||
taught them on the sea shore, or fed them in the wilderness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He went up into a mountain apart to pray, not as He Who, with five loaves and
|
||||
two fishes, had satisfied about five thousand men, besides women and
|
||||
children, but as He, Who when He heard of the death of John, departed into a
|
||||
desert place apart. Not that we make two Persons in the Lord, but some of His
|
||||
works He did as God, and some as man. But the ship was now in the midst of
|
||||
the sea, tossed with waves. The Apostles were right to be slow and unwilling
|
||||
to leave the Lord, for, when He was not with them, they were in peril of
|
||||
shipwreck.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Whilst the Lord abode alone upon the top of the mountain, a contrary wind
|
||||
arose, and the sea raged, and the Apostles were endangered, and yet the
|
||||
threatening shipwreck held off until Jesus came. And in the fourth watch of
|
||||
the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. The watches of soldiers
|
||||
are divided into three. When therefore it is said that the Lord came unto
|
||||
them in the fourth watch, it appeareth that they had been in peril all night,
|
||||
and that it was at the end of the night, as it will again be at the end of
|
||||
the world, that He came to the rescue of His disciples.

Here is a story to the effect that many men who had kept a tradition of the
|
||||
holy Prophets Elijah and Elisha, were made ready by the preaching of John
|
||||
the Baptist to hail the coming of the Messiah, and that, when the Apostles
|
||||
having been filled with the Spirit upon the holy day of Pentecost, spake
|
||||
with diverse tongues and worked miracles by calling upon the Name of Jesus
|
||||
which is above every other name, these men, seeing and being assured of the
|
||||
truth, straightway embraced the faith of the Gospel, and that on account of
|
||||
their singular love toward the Most Blessed Virgin, whose conversation and
|
||||
friendship they were able to enjoy, they paid her the respect of building
|
||||
her a little Chapel, the first which was ever raised in honour of this same
|
||||
most pure Maiden, and which stood upon that part of Mount Carmel whence the
|
||||
servant of Elijah had in old days espied that manifest type of the Virgin,
|
||||
the little cloud like a man's hand, arising out of the sea.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now this new Chapel they repaired oftentimes day by day, and in their
|
||||
sacred ceremonies, prayers, and praises, honoured the Most Blessed Virgin
|
||||
as the particular Guardian of their Congregation. For this reason they came
|
||||
to be everywhere called the Brethren of Blessed Mary, of Mount Carmel, and
|
||||
the Supreme Pontiffs have not only confirmed to them the right to use this
|
||||
name, but have granted particular indulgences to all those who so call
|
||||
either the Order itself, or any particular member thereof. Her name and
|
||||
protection are not the only gifts which the most bountiful Virgin hath
|
||||
given them; yea, she hath given them the badge of the Holy Scapular, which
|
||||
she delivered to the Blessed Englishman Simon Stock, even an heavenly
|
||||
garment whereby this Holy Order is marked, and harnessed against all
|
||||
assaults. Moreover, in old times, when this Order was unknown in Europe,
|
||||
and not a few were instant with Honorius III. to put an end to it, the most
|
||||
gracious Virgin Mary appeared by night to the said Honorius, and flatly
|
||||
commanded him to show kindness to the Order and to the men belonging
|
||||
thereto.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Many godly persons believe that it is not in this world only that the most
|
||||
Blessed Virgin hath marked with her favour this Order which pleaseth her so
|
||||
well, but that in the next world, where her power and mercy have a freer
|
||||
scope than here, they who belong to the Guild of the Scapular, who have
|
||||
practised an easy abstinence, have been regular in reciting a few prayers
|
||||
enjoined to them, and have kept chastity according to their state of life,
|
||||
are comforted by her motherly love while they are being cleansed in the
|
||||
fire of Purgatory, and by her help are borne forward towards their home in
|
||||
heaven more quickly than others. The Order loaded with so many and so great
|
||||
gifts, hath instituted a solemn Commemoration of the Most Blessed Virgin,
|
||||
to be made year after year, in perpetual observance, for the glory of the
|
||||
same Virgin.

The brethren Cyril and Methodius were born in an honourable position at
|
||||
Thessalonica. As they advanced in years they went to Constantinople to study
|
||||
letters in the capital of the Eastern world. Both made quick progress, but
|
||||
most chiefly Cyril, who gained such learning that he was called for
|
||||
excellency the Philosopher. Methodius became a monk, but the Empress
|
||||
Theodora, on the recommendation of the Patriarch Ignatius, deemed Cyril
|
||||
worthy of receiving the task of teaching Christianity to the Khazar who
|
||||
dwelt beyond the Crimea. By the grace of God he so taught them that they
|
||||
laid aside their many superstitions and were joined to Jesus Christ. After
|
||||
properly establishing the new community of Christians, Cyril hastened back
|
||||
to Constantinople, where he entered the monastery of Polychron, whither
|
||||
Methodius had already withdrawn himself. Rastilaw, Prince of Moravia, having
|
||||
heard tell of the good deeds beyond the Crimea, sent to Constantinople to
|
||||
the Emperor Michael III to obtain some Gospel labourers. Cyril and Methodius
|
||||
were sent to him, and gladly received in Moravia, and applied themselves
|
||||
with such power and industry to the work of Christianising souls that it
|
||||
was not long before that nation also joyfully submitted to Jesus Christ. To
|
||||
this end Cyril found of great use the knowledge of the Slavonic language,
|
||||
which he had already acquired, and much effect was produced by the
|
||||
translation of holy Scripture which he made into the language of the
|
||||
people. Cyril and Methodius were the inventors of the alphabet in which the
|
||||
language of the Slavs is characteristically expressed, and for this reason
|
||||
they have been not unjustly termed the fathers of Slavonic literature.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then the happy tidings of what they had done reached Rome, the Supreme
|
||||
Pontiff the holy Nicholas I. commanded these excellent brethren to come to
|
||||
Rome. When they started for Rome they brought with them the relics of the
|
||||
supreme Pontiff the holy Clement I which Cyril had discovered at Cherson.
|
||||
On hearing of their approach Adrian II, who had succeeded to the Papacy
|
||||
upon the death of Nicholas, went forth to meet them accompanied by the
|
||||
clergy and people with every sign of honour. Then Cyril and Methodius gave
|
||||
to the Supreme Pontiff in the presence of the clergy an account of the
|
||||
Apostolic office which they had discharged in so holy and toilsome a
|
||||
manner. When it was made blame to them by some enviers that they had used
|
||||
the Slavonic language for the purposes of public worship, they stated their
|
||||
reasons with such clearness and force that the Pontiff and clergy praised
|
||||
and approved them. When they had both taken an oath that they would remain
|
||||
in the faith of blessed Peter and of the Roman Pontiffs, they were
|
||||
consecrated bishops by Adrian, but it was the Will of God that Cyril, old
|
||||
in grace rather than in years, should close his life at Rome. Methodius
|
||||
went back to Moravia, and there became from his whole soul a pattern to his
|
||||
flock, and from day to day more zealous in the service of Catholicism. He
|
||||
confirmed the Pannonians, the Bulgarians, and the Dalmatians in the
|
||||
Christian religion, and laboured much to bring the Corinthians to the
|
||||
worship of the one true God.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Methodius was again accused before John VIII, the successor of Adrian, of
|
||||
unsoundness in faith, and transgression of the traditions of the elders; he
|
||||
was summoned to Rome, and there easily proved, in the presence of John and
|
||||
of some Bishops and clergy of the city, that he had himself always firmly
|
||||
held the Catholic faith, and had carefully taught it to others, and that as
|
||||
regarded the use of the Slavonic language for public worship, he had acted
|
||||
lawfully from certain reasons, and the permission of Pope Adrian. The
|
||||
Pontiff therefore in this matter concurred with Methodius, and confirmed
|
||||
even in writing his archepiscopal authority and his mission among the
|
||||
Slavs. Methodius therefore went back to Moravia and resumed more earnestly
|
||||
than before the task committed to him, for the which also he cheerfully
|
||||
suffered exile. He converted the Prince of the Bohemians and his wife, and
|
||||
spread the Christian name far and wide among that people. He carried the
|
||||
light of the Gospel into Poland, and according to some writers, after
|
||||
establishing the see of Leopolis, went into Muscovy properly so called and
|
||||
established the see of Kieff. At the last he returned into Moravia, and
|
||||
when he felt that he was about to go the way of all flesh he named his own
|
||||
successor, exhorted the clergy and people for the last time to good living,
|
||||
and then calmly departed that life which had been to him a path to heaven.
|
||||
As Rome had honoured Cyril in his death, so did Moravia honour Methodius.
|
||||
The festival of these Saints, which had long been observed among the Slav
|
||||
nations, the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII. ordered to be kept throughout the
|
||||
Universal Church with a special office and Mass.

adorandæ invexísse perhibétur. Pudicítiam adeo coluit, ut étiam in

Anthony Mary Zaccaria was born of a noble family, at Cremona, on the Pau.
|
||||
Even in his childhood marks of his future holiness became manifest. There
|
||||
shone brightly in him, signs of excellent graces of childlike love toward God
|
||||
and the Blessed Virgin, and more especially of tenderness toward the poor,
|
||||
for the relief of whose needs he was ready more than once to strip off his
|
||||
own costly dress. He studied arts at his own home, philosophy at Ticino, and
|
||||
medicine at Padua, and as he excelled all others in goodness, so did he
|
||||
surpass all his companions in intellectual power. After taking his degree he
|
||||
returned home, and there understood from God that his call was to the
|
||||
healing of souls, rather than to that of bodies. He therefore began earnestly
|
||||
to study theology while he continued in the meantime to visit the sick, to
|
||||
teach Christian doctrine to children, to excite godliness among the young,
|
||||
and oftentimes even to exhort the aged to amend their ways. It is said that
|
||||
when he first said Mass after his ordination a light broke from heaven, and
|
||||
he seemed to the astonished bystanders to be surrounded by a circle of
|
||||
angels: from that time forth he laboured more earnestly for the salvation of
|
||||
souls, and the struggle against evil living. His fatherly love for strangers,
|
||||
for the needy, and for the afflicted, and the godly exhortations and alms
|
||||
wherewith he entertained them, made his house to become a refuge for the
|
||||
wretched, and earned for himself from his fellow-citizens the title of father
|
||||
of the fatherland and of angels.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While he was at Milan he bethought him that greater Christian good might be
|
||||
done if he gathered round him some fellow-labourers in the Lord's vineyard,
|
||||
and when he had conferred thereon with those noble and holy men Bartholomew
|
||||
Ferrari and James Morigia, he founded the brotherhood of Clerks Regulars, to
|
||||
whom on account of his own great love for the Apostle of the Gentiles he gave
|
||||
the name of Clerks of St. Paul. Under the approbation of the Supreme Pontiff
|
||||
Clement VII. and the confirmation of Paul III. this brotherhood was in a
|
||||
short time widely spread abroad. The Congregation of nuns who are called
|
||||
Angelicals also regard Anthony Mary as their Father and Founder. His own
|
||||
thought of himself was so lowly that he never would be at the head of his own
|
||||
Order. In great long-suffering he bore with patience the violent storms which
|
||||
were raised against his Institute. In the greatness of his charity he never
|
||||
ceased to enkindle the members of religious orders to love toward God, to
|
||||
exhort priests to live Apostolic lives, and to found guilds of married men, to
|
||||
the bringing forth of much fruit. Somewhiles he and his disciples would walk
|
||||
through the streets and squares with a Cross carried before them, and there
|
||||
by burning and vehement harangues call to salvation the wandering and the
|
||||
wicked.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It is to be remembered that in his burning love for Jesus Crucified he
|
||||
reminded all men of the Mystery of the Cross by the sound of a bell every
|
||||
Friday evening, and himself as a true disciple of Paul always bore about in
|
||||
his body the dying of the Lord Jesus. The holy Name of Christ is found
|
||||
everywhere in his writings and was ever in his mouth. He was moved by a
|
||||
singular love toward the Holy Eucharist. He established a custom of receiving
|
||||
it often, and is said to have brought in the practice of exposing the same
|
||||
upon a lofty throne for three days' adoration. Of his earnest modesty the
|
||||
appearance of life which was seen even in his dead body seemed a witness.
|
||||
Together with all these things he possessed the gifts of trance, of tears, of
|
||||
knowledge of things to come, of reading the thoughts of the heart, and of
|
||||
power against the enemy of mankind. He was worn out with toil when he was
|
||||
seized with his last illness at Guastalla, whither he had been called as a
|
||||
peacemaker. He was carried to Cremona amid the tears of his brethren and the
|
||||
embraces of his devoted mother, whose imminent death he foretold. He was
|
||||
comforted by a vision of the Apostles above, and predicted the increase of
|
||||
his Brotherhood. In the year 1539, he died a holy death at the age of
|
||||
thirty-six.

Durum vidétur et grave quod Dóminus imperávit, ut, si quis eum vult sequi
|
||||
ábneget seípsum; sed non est durum nec grave quod ille ímperat, qui ádjuvat
|
||||
ut fiat quod ímperat. Nam illud verum est quod ei dícitur in Psalmo: Propter
|
||||
verba labiórum tuórum ego custodívi vias duras. Quidquid enim durum est in
|
||||
præceptis, ut sis lene, caritas facit. Nóvimus quanta ipse amor facit. Quid
|
||||
autem est, Neget se? Non præsumat de se, séntiat se hóminem, et respiciat
|
||||
dictum propheticum: Maledictus omnis qui spem suam ponit in hómine: subdúcat
|
||||
se sibi sed non deorsum versus: subdúcat se sibi, ut hæreat Deo.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quo sequendus est Dóminus? Quo iit, novimus; resurréxit enim et ascéndit in
|
||||
cælum: illo sequendus est. Plane desperándum non est, quia ipse promísit,
|
||||
non quia homo aliquid potest. Jam quare desperémus, si membra illíus cápitis
|
||||
sumus? Bonum est illo eum sequi; sed vidéndum est, qua. Etenim verba ista
|
||||
Dóminus Jesus non tunc dicebat quando a mórtuis jam resurrexerat; nondum
|
||||
erat passus, venturus erat ad crucem, venturus ad exhonoratiónem, ad
|
||||
contumelias, ad flagélla, ad spinas, ad vulnera, ad insultatiónes,
|
||||
oppróbria, mortem. Quasi exasperáta est via: pigrum te facis, non vis
|
||||
sequi: Séquere. Nam quis non velit ire ad exaltatiónem? omnes delectat
|
||||
celsitudo, sed humilitas gradus est.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Tolle crucem tuam, et séquere Dóminum. Crux enim nostra, quam Dóminus
|
||||
portari a nobis jubet, ut eum expeditíssimi sequamur, quid aliud quam
|
||||
mortalitátem carnis hujus significat? Ipsa enim nos cruciat, donec
|
||||
absorbeátur mors in victoriam. Crux ergo hæc ipsa crucifigenda est, et
|
||||
transfigenda est clavis timoris Dei, ne solutis et liberis membris
|
||||
reluctántem portare non possis; sequi enim Dóminum, nisi eam portans, omnino
|
||||
non vales. Nam quómodo eum sequéris, si non es ejus? Qui autem Jesu Christi
|
||||
sunt, ait Apóstolus, carnem suam crucifixérunt cum passiónibus et

desidériis.

That which the Lord commandeth hard and heavy seemeth: if any man will come
|
||||
after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. But
|
||||
neither hard nor heavy is that which He commandeth when He that commandeth
|
||||
giveth help to fulfil. Whatsoever is hard in the commandment, love maketh
|
||||
easy. We know how great is the power of love. And what signifieth this, let
|
||||
him deny himself? Let him put no trust in himself, let him feel that he is
|
||||
man, and let him have regard unto that which was spoken of the prophet:
|
||||
Cursed be the man that trusteth in men. Let him mistrust himself, but not to
|
||||
sink; let him mistrust himself, that he may cleave unto God.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Whither are we to follow the Lord? Whither He is gone, we know. He is risen
|
||||
from the dead, and is gone up into heaven. Thither we must follow Him. And we
|
||||
must not despair of so doing, not because man is able to do anything, but
|
||||
because He is faithful That promised. Why, then, should we despair, since we
|
||||
are members of His Body? Good is it to follow Him, but whither we are to
|
||||
follow Him we must see. When the Lord Jesus uttered those words bidding us to
|
||||
follow Him, He had not Himself as yet arisen from the dead; there lay still
|
||||
before Him the cross, shame, mockery, scourging, thorns, wounds, outrages,
|
||||
insults, death. Art thou slothful? willest thou not to follow Him? but follow
|
||||
Him all the same, for who would not follow unto glory? All men love
|
||||
exaltation, but lowliness is the step to rise withal.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Take up thy cross, and follow the Lord. For our cross, which the Lord
|
||||
commandeth us to carry after Him, that we may follow Him most speedfully,
|
||||
what is it but the death of this flesh? For it is this flesh that crucifieth
|
||||
us until death is swallowed up in victory. Therefore must this our own cross
|
||||
itself be crucified and pierced with the nails of the fear of God, lest, if
|
||||
it be free, it hamper thee in the carrying of it, and thou canst nowise
|
||||
follow the Lord save in carrying it. For how canst thou follow Him if thou be
|
||||
none of His? And they that are Christ's, saith the Apostle, have crucified
|
||||
the flesh with the affections and lusts.

|

Elizabeth, daughter of Peter III., King of Aragon, was born in the year of
|
||||
Christ 1271, and it was an omen of her saintly life; that her father and
|
||||
mother, contrary to the usual custom, caused her to be baptized, not by the
|
||||
name of her mother or grandmother, but by that of her mother's aunt, the
|
||||
holy Lady Elizabeth of Thuringia. As soon as ever she was born, her destiny
|
||||
of being a peacemaker between kings and kingdoms began to appear, for the
|
||||
joy of her birth put an end to the ruinous quarrels of her father and
|
||||
grandfather. As she grew up, her father, delighted with her disposition, was
|
||||
used to foretell that his Elizabeth would in herself excel all the daughters
|
||||
of the kingly house of Aragon, and that the happiness of his own home and
|
||||
kingdom was all owing to this one damsel, whose heavenly life he venerated
|
||||
for her indifference to bodily finery, her abstinence from pleasures, her
|
||||
many fasts, her instancy in prayer to God, and her activity in doing works
|
||||
of charity. This illustrious maiden was sought in marriage by many princes,
|
||||
and at twelve years of age was wedded with Christian rites to Denis, King of
|
||||
Portugal.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As a wife, she gave herself up as much to the education of her children, as
|
||||
to her own improvement, striving in all ways, next to God, to please her
|
||||
husband. For nearly half the year, she was used to live on bread and water,
|
||||
and once, when she was ill, God changed the water into wine, which the
|
||||
physicians had ordered her to drink, but which she was unwilling to take.
|
||||
Once when she kissed a disgusting ulcer in a poor woman, it was immediately
|
||||
healed. One winter-time when she was giving some money to the poor, and was
|
||||
fain her husband should not see her alms, the coins changed into roses. She
|
||||
gave sight to a maiden who had been born blind, and healed many other
|
||||
persons of grievous sicknesses by the Sign of the Cross. She not only
|
||||
built, but richly endowed convents, schools, and churches. She had a
|
||||
wonderful skill in making peace between kings, and toiled unweariedly to
|
||||
lighten all suffering, whether public or private.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
King Denis died, and Elizabeth, who in her maidenhood had been a pattern to
|
||||
virgins, and in her married life to wives, now, in her loneliness, was an
|
||||
example to widows. Clad in the raiment of the nuns of St. Clare, she
|
||||
faithfully attended at the King's funeral, and soon after went to
|
||||
Compostella, where she offered many precious gifts, of silk, and gold, and
|
||||
silver, and precious stones, for the benefit of his soul. Thence she
|
||||
returned home, and spent in holy and godly uses everything that remained to
|
||||
her that was dear and costly, eager to relieve every kind of suffering. She
|
||||
lived, not for herself, but for God, and to be useful to mankind. She
|
||||
finished the convent for nuns, right worthy of a Queen, which she had
|
||||
founded at Coimbra. She fed the poor, defended widows, protected orphans. A
|
||||
war being lighted up between her son Alphonsus IV, King of Portugal, and her
|
||||
grandson Alphonsus V, King of Castile, she resolved to set out to reconcile
|
||||
them, and went to the famous city of Estremoz, upon the borders of the two
|
||||
kingdoms. On the journey, she caught a violent fever, of which, after a
|
||||
vision of the Virgin Mother of God, she died a saintly death on the 4th day
|
||||
of July, in the year 1336. She became illustrious for miracles after her
|
||||
death, especially for the sweetness of the savour of her body, which hath
|
||||
now remained uncorrupt for well-nigh three hundred years, and she hath
|
||||
always been spoken of as the Holy Queen Elizabeth. At length, in the year of
|
||||
our salvation 1625, which was that of the Jubilee, Urban VIII, all
|
||||
Christendom gathered together and approving, formally enrolled her name
|
||||
among those of the Saints.

|
||||
Henry II., surnamed the Pious, became successively Duke of Bavaria, King of
|
||||
Germany, and the Emperor of the Romans. His hope soared beyond the short
|
||||
enjoyment of a fleeting kingdom, and he aimed at the possession of an
|
||||
unfading crown by living as the loyal servant of the Eternal King. After he
|
||||
became Emperor, he earnestly set himself to the furtherance of the cause of
|
||||
godliness. He restored with new splendour the Churches which had been
|
||||
ruined by the unbelievers, and enriched them with many offerings and
|
||||
possessions. Monasteries and other godly places he either built himself, or
|
||||
endowed them with allowances. He founded out of his own family inheritance
|
||||
the Bishopric of Bamberg, and made it tributary to Blessed Peter and to the
|
||||
Bishop of Rome. When Benedict VIII, who had set on his head the Imperial
|
||||
crown, was an exile, he hospitably received him, and afterwards restored
|
||||
him to his See.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then he was struck down with a grievous sickness in the Monastery of Monte
|
||||
Cassino; he was healed by an evident miracle through the intercession of
|
||||
St. Benedict. He was a princely benefactor to the Church of Rome, for the
|
||||
defence of which he entered into a war against the Greeks, and took again
|
||||
from them the province of Apulia, which they had long possessed. He never
|
||||
undertook anything until he had made it a subject of prayer. And in battle
|
||||
he once saw the Angel of the Lord and the Holy Martyrs, his patrons, under
|
||||
whose protection he had placed his army, fighting for him in front of his
|
||||
line. With the help of God, he prevailed against the tribes of savages more
|
||||
by prayer than by arms. He gave his sister in marriage to King Stephen of
|
||||
Hungary, whom he induced to be baptized, and so brought all that country to
|
||||
believe in Christ. His marriage with the holy maiden Cunegunda is one of the
|
||||
rare instances of the union of two virgins. When he drew near to death, he
|
||||
gave her back inviolate to her kinsfolk.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He managed with great wisdom whatever could tend to the honour and
|
||||
usefulness of the Empire. He left in France, Italy, and Germany, splendid
|
||||
monuments of his godly munificence. The perfume of his saintly life spread
|
||||
its sweetness far and wide, and the glory of his holiness outshone the
|
||||
splendour of his crown. When the work of his life was done, he was called
|
||||
by the Lord to the possession of an eternal kingdom, in the year of
|
||||
salvation 1024. His body was buried in the Church of the Blessed Apostles
|
||||
Peter and Paul at Bamberg, and God glorified him by the miracles which
|
||||
began forthwith to take place at his grave. The same being duly proved,
|
||||
Eugene III numbered him among the Saints.

Ignatius was a Spaniard by nation, and was born of the noble Biscayan
|
||||
family of Loyola. He followed first the Court and then the army of the
|
||||
Most Catholic King. At the siege of Pampeluna he received a severe
|
||||
wound which laid him up with a long and dangerous illness. During this
|
||||
time he chanced to read some godly books, and conceived from them a
|
||||
burning desire to follow in the footsteps of Christ and His saints. He
|
||||
betook himself to Monserrat, and there entered himself for the heavenly
|
||||
warfare, by hanging up his weapons, and watching them for a night
|
||||
before the Altar of the Blessed Virgin. Thence he withdrew to Manresa,
|
||||
clad in sackcloth, for he had before given his costly raiment to a
|
||||
beggar. At Manresa he lived upon bread and water, begging the bread,
|
||||
and fasting every day except the Lord's Day. He mastered his flesh by
|
||||
the use of a sharp chain and hair-cloth, slept upon the ground, and
|
||||
lashed himself to bloodshedding with iron scourges. Thus he dwelt for
|
||||
a year, feasted by God with such clear lights, that he was used
|
||||
afterwards to say that even if the Holy Bible had not existed, he
|
||||
would have been ready to die for the faith only on the evidence of
|
||||
those things which the Lord had shown unto him at Manresa. It was at
|
||||
this time that, albeit a man of little education, he put together that
|
||||
wonderful book entitled Spiritual Exercises, whose worth hath been
|
||||
attested by the judgment of the Apostolic See, and by universal
|
||||
usefulness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To make himself of greater use for the profit of souls, he determined
|
||||
to improve himself by education, beginning by going through the
|
||||
rudiments among little boys. He left nothing untried that could help
|
||||
towards the salvation of others, and it was marvellous what pain and
|
||||
mockery he cheerfully accepted on all hands, suffering ill-usage also,
|
||||
imprisonment and stripes almost unto death. At Paris he took to him
|
||||
seven comrades from the members of that University, men of different
|
||||
nations, but who had all taken the Degree of Master of Arts and in
|
||||
Divinity. With these seven he laid the first foundations of the
|
||||
Society of Jesus in the crypt at Montmartre. When he afterwards
|
||||
organised the same Society at Rome he bound it by the closest bonds to
|
||||
the Apostolic See, adding to the three accustomed vows of Poverty,
|
||||
Chastity, and Obedience, a fourth, concerning Missions. Paul III. was
|
||||
the first Pope to receive and confirm the Institute, but it has since
|
||||
been approved by other Popes and by the Council of Trent. Ignatius, to
|
||||
spread the Faith, sent holy Francis Xavier to preach the Gospel in the
|
||||
Indies, and others in other parts of the world, and the war, which he
|
||||
thus proclaimed against paganism and heresy, was waged with such
|
||||
success, that it was the general belief, confirmed by the utterance of
|
||||
the Pope, that even as God had in other times raised up holy men
|
||||
specially to meet the needs of their day, so He had raised up against
|
||||
Luther and the heretics of that age, Ignatius and the Society which he
|
||||
had founded.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But the first care of Ignatius was to set forward godliness among
|
||||
Catholics. He was a great promoter of seemliness in the Churches,
|
||||
instruction in the Catechism, and often hearing Sermons and using the
|
||||
Sacraments. He opened schools everywhere to train up boys in godliness
|
||||
and good learning. At Rome he founded the German College, a home for
|
||||
fallen and another for imperilled girls, an orphanage for boys and
|
||||
another for girls, houses for converts under instruction, and other
|
||||
godly institutions. He never wearied in his work of gaining souls for
|
||||
God. He exercised an extraordinary power over devils. Holy Philip
|
||||
Neri and others saw heavenly light shining from his face. At last, in
|
||||
the year of our Redemption 1556 and of his own age the sixty fifth,
|
||||
he passed away to the embrace of that Lord Whose greater glory had
|
||||
been the constant theme of his words and aim of all his works. He is
|
||||
very illustrious in the Church on account of his great deeds and
|
||||
miracles, and Gregory XV. enrolled him in the Kalendar of the Saints.

Vincent de Paul was a Frenchman by nation, and was born at Puy, not far
|
||||
from Dax in Gascony. From a little child he showed remarkable charity
|
||||
towards the poor. His father removed him from keeping his cattle, in
|
||||
order to give him a school education, and he learnt earthly things at
|
||||
Dax, and theology both at Toulouse and at Saragossa. He took Priest's
|
||||
orders, and a degree in Divinity. He was taken prisoner by Mahommedan
|
||||
pirates, who carried him off, and sold him for a slave in Africa. In his
|
||||
slavery he converted his owner, who was an apostate, back to Christ.
|
||||
Under the protection of the Mother of God, Vincent escaped from Barbary.
|
||||
He first visited the thresholds of the Apostles, and afterwards returned
|
||||
to France. He was the saintly Rector first of the Parish of Clichy, and
|
||||
afterwards of that of Chatillon. He was appointed by the King, Chaplain
|
||||
General for the galleys of France, and worked with extraordinary zeal
|
||||
for the health of the souls both of those who commanded and of the
|
||||
convicts who rowed. He was made Superior of the Nuns of the Visitation
|
||||
by St. Francis de Sales, and discharged this duty for about forty years,
|
||||
with a wisdom which so approved itself to the judgment of their holy
|
||||
Founder, that he was used to say he knew no worthier Priest than
|
||||
Vincent.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The preaching of the Gospel to the poor, especially peasants, was the
|
||||
work at which he toiled unweariedly, till he was disabled by age. To
|
||||
this special work he bound himself and the members of the Congregation
|
||||
which he founded under the missionary Congregation of Secular Priests,
|
||||
by a perpetual vow approved by the Holy See. How great were his labours
|
||||
for bettering the discipline of the clergy, is attested by the building
|
||||
of Seminaries for the final education of young clerks, the number of
|
||||
meetings of Priests to discuss holy things, and the religious exercises
|
||||
preparatory to Ordination. To spread wider the growth of faith and
|
||||
godliness, he sent his Gospel labourers not only into the several
|
||||
provinces of France, but also into Italy, Poland, Scotland, and
|
||||
Ireland, and also to Barbary and India. He assisted Lewis XIII on his
|
||||
death-bed, and the Queen Anne of Austria, mother of Lewis XIV, put him
|
||||
upon the young King's Council of Conscience during the Regency, in
|
||||
which position it was his unceasing effort that none but the most
|
||||
worthy should be named to churches and monasteries, that civil
|
||||
contests, duels, and creeping false doctrines should be put down, and
|
||||
that all men should yield the obedience which was due to the decisions
|
||||
of the Apostolic See.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There was no kind of misery which he did not strive with fatherly
|
||||
tenderness to relieve. Christians groaning in Mahommedan slavery,
|
||||
foundlings, deformed children, young maidens exposed to danger,
|
||||
houseless nuns, fallen women, convicts sent to the galleys, sick
|
||||
foreigners, disabled workmen, lunatics, and beggars without number, all
|
||||
these he relieved, and devoutly housed in diverse charitable
|
||||
institutions which remain to this day. When Lorraine, Champagne,
|
||||
Picardy, and other districts were desolated by plague, famine, and war,
|
||||
he made immense efforts for their relief. He founded many charitable
|
||||
societies, to find out and succour the unfortunate. Among these are
|
||||
remarkable that of Matrons, and that of Sisters of Charity which hath
|
||||
been so widely spread. With a body worn out with hardships, work, and
|
||||
old age, he gently fell asleep in the house of St. Lazarus at Paris,
|
||||
the chief house of the Congregation of the Missions, upon the 27th day
|
||||
of September, in the year of salvation 1660, and of his own age the
|
||||
85th. He was famous on account of his life, his works, and his
|
||||
miracles, and Clement XII inscribed his name among those of the
|
||||
saints.

Cum ad nos advenísset Redémptor nostri géneris, venit prótinus ad suum amícum
|
||||
Joánnem, dum adhuc esset in ventre matris. Quem cum ex útero in útero
|
||||
aspexísset Joánnes, términos natúræ concútiens, exclámat: Vídeo Dóminum, qui
|
||||
natúræ impósuit términos, et non exspécto tempus nascéndi. Novem ménsium
|
||||

Vides, o dilécte, quam sit novum et admirábile mystérium. Nondum náscitur, et

As soon as our Redeemer was come among us, He went with haste, while as yet He
|
||||
was in His mother's womb, to visit His friend John. And John, in the one womb,
|
||||
becoming conscious of the Presence of Jesus in the other womb, dashed himself
|
||||
impatiently against the narrow walls of his natural prison, as though crying
|
||||
out: I see the very Lord who hath given nature her bounds, and I wait not for
|
||||
the due season of my birth. There is no need for me to linger here till nine
|
||||
months are ended, for He That is Eternal is with me! I will break out of my
|
||||
dark cell; I will proclaim my full knowledge of many wonders. I am the sign. I
|
||||
will show that the Christ is here. I am the trumpet; let me peal forth the news
|
||||
that the Son of God is come in the flesh. Let me give my trumpet-note, let me
|
||||
bless my father's tongue, and make it to speak again. Let me give my
|
||||
trumpet-note, let me quicken my mother's womb.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Thou seest, O beloved, how new and how strange a mystery is here! John is not
|
||||
born, but by leaping he speaketh; he is yet unseen, and he giveth warning; he
|
||||
is not yet able to cry, but by his acts he is heard. He draweth not yet the
|
||||
breath of life, but he preacheth God. He seeth not yet the light, but he
|
||||
maketh known the Sun! He is not come out of the womb, but he hasteth to play
|
||||
the Fore-runner in the Presence of the Lord. He cannot restrain himself; he
|
||||
rebelleth against the bounds set by nature, and struggleth to break out of the
|
||||
prison of the belly. His longing is to herald the coming Saviour. He saith, as
|
||||
it were: Behold, the Deliverer cometh, and am I to remain still bound to abide
|
||||
here? The Word cometh, that He may set right all things, and am I still to
|
||||
tarry in prison? I will go forth. I will run before Him, and cry aloud to all
|
||||
men: "Behold the Lamb of God Which taketh away the sin of the world."
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But do thou tell us, O John, how it came to pass that while thou wast still in
|
||||
the darkness of thy mother's womb, thou didst see and hear? How didst thou
|
||||
behold the things of God? How didst thou leap and bound for joy? Great, saith
|
||||
John, is the mystery of that which taketh place here, far from the
|
||||
understanding of men are these doings. It is meet that I should do a new thing
|
||||
in nature for the sake of Him Who is making new things which are beyond
|
||||
nature. I see in the womb, because I see the Sun of righteousness in a womb. I
|
||||
hear, because I am coming as the herald of the Great Word. I cry out, because
|
||||
I espy the Only-begotten Son of the Father clad in Flesh. I bound for joy,
|
||||
because I see that He by Whom all things were made, hath taken upon Him the
|
||||
form of a servant. I leap, because I think of the Redeemer of the world being
|
||||
made Flesh. I run before His coming, and herald His approach unto you with
|
||||
this, as it were, my confession.

Contuéndum est, quia supérior venit ad inferiórem, ut inférior adjuvétur:
|
||||
María ad Elísabeth, Christus ad Joánnem. Dénique étiam póstea, ut
|
||||
sanctificáret baptísmum Joánnis, Dóminus venit ad baptísmum. Cito quoque

Joánnes prior grátiam sensit. Illa natúræ órdine audívit, iste exsultávit

Exsultávit infans, repléta est mater. Non prius mater repléta, quam fílius;

sed, cum fílius esset replétus Spíritu Sancto, replévit et matrem.

|

Et unde hoc mihi, ut véniat Mater Dómini mei ad me? Hoc est, Quo tantum bonum
|

mihi áccidit, ut mater Dómini mei véniat ad me? Miráculum séntio, agnósco

ménsibus tribus, et revérsa est in domum suam. Bene indúcitur sancta María et

exhibuísse offícium, et mýsticum númerum custodísse.

Non enim sola familiaritátis est causa quod diu mansit, sed étiam tanti vatis

mater infántis; quantum putámus usu tanti témporis sanctæ Maríæ addidísse
|

præséntiam? Ungebátur ítaque, et quasi bonus athléta exercebátur in útero

We must here consider that the greater cometh unto the lesser, Mary unto
|
||||
Elizabeth, Christ unto John. And again afterwards, to hallow the baptism of
|
||||
John, the Lord came unto him to be baptized. It was soon that the blessings
|
||||
of the coming of Mary and of the Presence of God were made manifest. Have
|
||||
regard here to the distinction made, and to the special weight of every word.
|
||||
Elizabeth was the first to hear the voice of Mary's salutation, but John was
|
||||
the first to receive grace. She heard naturally, but he leaped mystically. She
|
||||
hailed the coming of Mary, he that of the Lord. Mary and Elizabeth spake words
|
||||
full of grace, but Jesus and John worked, and commenced their mystery of
|
||||
godliness from their mothers' beginnings, and so by twin miracles the mothers
|
||||
prophesied from the spirit of their unborn offspring. The babe leaped, and the
|
||||
mother was filled with the Holy Ghost. The mother was not filled before the
|
||||
son, but when the son was filled with the Holy Ghost, he filled his mother
|
||||
also.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? That
|
||||
is to say, How cometh it to pass that so great a good should befall me, as
|
||||
that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? I feel the miracle, I
|
||||
acknowledge the mystery: the Mother of my Lord, pregnant with the Word, is
|
||||
full of God. And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her
|
||||
own house. It is meet to record how Mary showed this kindness, and abode this
|
||||
mystic number of months.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
She tarried long, not only for friendship's sake, but also for the good of the
|
||||
Great Prophet. For if the first coming of Mary so blessed him, that even as a
|
||||
babe in the womb he leapt for joy, and his mother was filled with the Holy
|
||||
Ghost, what blessedness must we not deem to have flowed upon him from so long
|
||||
neighbourhood of Mary. Thus was the Prophet anointed, and trained by exercise
|
||||
like a strong wrestler, in his mother's womb, for his sinews were being braced
|
||||
for a hard battle.
