From his tenderest years his diligence in study, and his + aspirations to a more perfect state of life, gave no indistinct foreshadowing of + the holiness and learning to which he afterwards attained. The heat of youth + drew him for a while into the snares of the world, but he soon returned to his + first courses, and, forsaking his country and his goods, betook himself to the + monastery of Bec, under the rule of St. Benedict. There he made his profession + as a monk, and under the rigid discipline of Herluin, the Abbot, and the + learned instruction of the profound Lanfranc, with great zeal of spirit and + eager obedience to the Rule, he made such progress in learning and godliness, + that he shone before all others as an example of holiness of life, and power of + doctrine. + + + Certification and purity were his marked characteristics, and by constant + fasting all taste for food seemed to have died in him. He spent the day in the + monastic work, in teaching, and in answering hard questions upon religion, and + he took away from sleep during what remained to him of the night, that he might + refresh his soul by thoughts of God, wherein he was alway comforted by an + unceasing flow of tears. When he was chosen Prior of the monastery, he so won + over, by his charity, lowliness, and wisdom, some brethren who looked ill upon + him, that from enviers, as he had found them, he turned them into lovers of God + and of himself likewise, with exceeding gain to the strictness of observance in + that Abbey. After the death of the Abbot, Anselm, though against his own will, + was chosen to succeed him. In this high place the light of his learning and + holiness so shone all round about, that he was reverenced not only by Kings and + Bishops, but was taken up by the holy Pope Gregory VII., who, amid the great + persecutions which were then trying him, wrote with words of great love to + Anselm to recommend himself and the Catholic Church to his prayers. + + + After the death of Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, Anselm, whose teacher + Lanfranc had formerly been, was driven by William II., King of England, + supported by the entreaties of the clergy and people, though sorely against his + own wishes to take upon him the government of that Church. Raised to that See, + he straightway set himself to reform the corrupt manners of the people, and, + first by his word and example, and then by his writings and the Councils which + he held, succeeded in restoring the ancient godliness and discipline of the + Church. But when the aforesaid King William tried by force and threats to + seize on the rights of the Church, Anselm withstood him as beseemed a Priest, + and after that he had suffered the plundering of all his goods and been sent + into banishment, he betook himself to Rome to Urban II. There he was received + with great worship, and won high praise for that in the Council of Bari, he + maintained by countless proofs from Scripture and the holy Fathers, against the + error of the Greeks, that the Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Son also. When + William lived no more, his brother Henry I., King of England, called back + Anselm thither, and there he fell asleep in the Lord. His is a name illustrious + not for miracles only, nor for holiness, and indeed he had a wondrous love for + his Lord Who had suffered for him, and for the blessed Maiden Mother of the + Same our Lord, but also for the deep learning which he used for the defence of + the Christian Religion and the good of souls. That wonderful knowledge of + theology which he had, and which is shown in all the books which he wrote, + seemeth to have been given him from heaven for the teaching of all writers on + the same subject, who have used what is called the Scholastic method. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-fidelis-of-sigmaringen.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-fidelis-of-sigmaringen.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..30830ca --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-fidelis-of-sigmaringen.yml @@ -0,0 +1,127 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen, Martyr +# (Apr 24).

From his childhood he was adorned with many bright gifts of nature and + grace. Intellectually distinguished, and assisted by all the advantages of + education, he took at Fribourg the degrees of Philosophy and of Civil and Canon + Law, and it was while engaged in these studies, that he began to strive after + the height of perfection in the school of Christ, to which end he earnestly + trained himself in all the exercises of godliness. He ceased not to exhort to + Christian godliness, both by his words and works, the noblemen who made him + their companion, and who were drawn from the chief families of diverse parts of + Europe. While on his travels, he was careful to mortify the lusts of the flesh + by frequent austerities, and so to get the command of himself, that he was + never seen under any circumstances to be moved to anger. He was a zealous + champion of law and justice, and when he returned into Germany, he won a most + distinguished name in his profession as an advocate. After a while, however, in + view of the dangers which beset him at the Bar, he determined to enter on a + path safer as regarded his eternal salvation, and, in obedience to an inward + call from above, he sought admission into the Seraphic Order, among the + Capuchin Friars Minor. + + + After he had obtained his holy wish, he showed himself even in his noviceship a + singular despiser of the world and of himself, and still more so when with + great spiritual joy he had made his solemn profession to the Lord. By his + observance of the Rule, he became the wonder and the example of all. He gave + himself chiefly to prayer and sacred learning, but he excelled, by a remarkable + grace, in the ministry of the Word, and thereby not only stirred up the + Catholics to bring forth more fruit, but also drew misbelievers to the + knowledge of the truth. He was set at the head of communities of Friars in + diverse places, and discharged the duty so laid upon him with great praise for + prudence, justice, meekness, wisdom, and lowliness. He was animated by a + vehement love of the strictest poverty, and cleansed the convent of whatever + was not altogether needful. While he pursued himself with an healthy hatred, + and most stern fastings, watchings, and scourgings, he showed to all others a + love like the love of a mother for her sons. When a contagious fever made + horrid ravages among the Austrian soldiers, he gave himself up with his whole + soul to unwearied offices of tenderness toward the helpless sick. In allaying + quarrels and relieving the temporal distress of his neighbour, he bore himself + with such wisdom and zeal as to earn the name of Father of his country. + + + He tenderly and warmly loved the maiden Mother of God and her Rosary, and he + besought God under the patronage of many of His holy servants, but especially + under that of the same blessed Mother, to vouchsafe to let him offer his life + and his blood together for the sake of the Catholic faith. This burning desire + came upon him more and more, day by day, and by the unexpected Providence of + God it came to pass that this brave soldier of Christ was chosen President of + the Missions which the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith had at + that time just founded for the Grisons. He accepted this hard task with a + willing and joyful heart, and discharged it with such zeal, that many heretics + were turned to the orthodox faith, and great hope was engendered that the + whole of that people would return to the peace of Christ and His Church. + Fidelis, who was gifted with the spirit of Prophecy, often foretold the great + woes which afterwards came upon the Grisons, and that he himself would be + murdered by the heretics. At last, some of the heretics, who pretended to be + converted, entreated him to come and preach at the Church of a place which is + called Sevis. On the 24th day of April, in the year 1622, he went to Sevis, and + began to preach, but his discourse was interrupted by a riot, and he was + brutally murdered. By this glorious death, which he suffered with a willing + and cheerful heart, he offered to God in his own blood the first-fruits of + martyrdom from the abovementioned Congregation.

Then his father, being himself an Arian, strove to bring him back to + that heresy, first by offering him gifts, and then seeking to awe him by + threatening. And when he answered alway that, having once had knowledge of the + true faith, he never could forsake it, his father was wroth, and took away his + kingdom from him, and plundered him of all his goods. And when not even so could + he sap the manliness of his soul, he cast him into a most strait prison, having + his neck and his hands in fetters of iron. And so that young King Hermenegild + began to hold in little esteem an earthly kingdom, and to long exceedingly for + an heavenly. Yea, he clothed himself in sackcloths in the prison, and as he lay + bound therein, he poured forth supplications to Almighty God to give him + strength. There he lay bound, having suffered the loss of all things, but his + suffering made him but to esteem more worthless the glory of this world, which + passeth away so easily. + + + But when the day of the glad Passover came, at dead of night, the unbelieving + father sent to his son the Arian Bishop, to offer him, as the price of his + favour, to receive at the hands of the said Bishop the Communion which was the + result of a sacrilegious consecration. But when the Arian Bishop came into the + prison, the servant of God, remembering that he was not his own but God's man, + rebuked the unbeliever as he deserved, and drave him from his presence with just + reproaches for though he was weak and bound as touching this outer body, yet was + he strong in the mighty castle of his soul. The Bishop, therefore, went away + again to that Arian father. And when he came to Leovigild, he waxed exceeding + wroth, and sent his servants to kill God's faithful witness where he lay. Which + thing was done for as soon as they came to him into the prison, they clave his + head with an axe, and freed him from the dying life of this house of our + tabernacle. And so they did to him all that which they that kill the body are + able to do, and it was a thing which now of a long season he feared not, seeing + that when they have done that, they have no more that they can do, but fearing + rather Him Who, when He hath killed, hath power to cast both body and soul into + hell. But God, to make manifest the glory of His servant, was pleased to work + signs from heaven, for of a sudden the solemn swell of singing of Psalms was + heard at that dead hour of night from round about the place where lay the body + of the kingly martyr, kingly now in an higher and truer sense than the sense of + earthly kingship, since he had witnessed a good confession for the truth, + sealing it with his blood. + + + Come say, too, that lights were seen there that night. Wherefore it came to pass + that the body of the martyr became the rightful object of reverence to all God's + faithful people. The unbelieving father, murderer of his own child, was seized + with remorse, and repented him of what he had done, but he sorrowed not unto + salvation. For though he knew that the Catholic faith was true, he stood in fear + of his people, and deserved not to attain unto it. He fell sick, and, when he + was at the point of death, he made it his duty to recommend King Reccared his + surviving son to the care of the Bishop Leander, whom aforetime he had grievously + persecuted, that though Reccared was now left in heresy, the Bishop might work + in him by his exhortations the same change that he had worked in his brother, + which when Leovigild had said, he died. After his death, King Reccared took for + his example not his unbelieving father but his martyred brother. He forsook the + Arian heresy, and brought the whole nation of the Visigoths to believe in the + true faith, so that he allowed no man in his kingdom to be an officer, who dared + any longer range himself through heresy as an enemy of the Kingdom of God. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-isidore-of-seville.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-isidore-of-seville.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d14c3b0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-isidore-of-seville.yml @@ -0,0 +1,212 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for St. Isidore of Seville, Bishop, +# Confessor, Doctor of the Church (Apr 4).

He was trained up in all + godliness and learning by his holy brethren Leander, Archbishop of Seville, and + Fulgentius, Bishop of Carthagena. He was well instructed in the Latin, Greek, and + Hebrew letters, and he came from his masters a most eminent scholar in all human + knowledge, and a pattern of all Christian graces. While yet he was very young, he + attacked with such firmness the Arian heresy, which had of former times polluted + the Gothic nation, who then were the chief rulers of Spain, that he was near being + murdered by the heretics. After that Leander was departed this life, Isidore was + chosen to the See of Seville, against his own will, but at the vehement instance + of King Reccared, and with the strong assent of the clergy and people. Holy + Gregory the Great not only confirmed his election by his own Apostolic authority, + and caused him to be adorned, as is the custom, with a Pallium sent from the body + of Blessed Peter, but is also stated to have appointed him Vicar of the Apostolic + See for all Spain. + + + When he was Archbishop no tongue can tell how leal he was, how lowly, and meek, + and merciful, how careful to restore the laws of Christianity and the Church, and + how unwearied in establishing the same by his word and writings, yea, how + brightly he shone in all graces. He was a leading promoter and spreader of + monastic institutions throughout Spain. He built many monasteries. He founded + colleges in which, when his duty allowed him spare time for sacred study and + reading, he taught the many disciples who betook themselves to him from all + quarters. Among these, two of the most distinguished were the holy Bishops + Ildephonsus of Toledo, and Braulio of Saragossa. He called the Council of + Seville, wherein, in a most incisive and eloquent discourse, he shattered and + crushed the heresy of the Acephali, by which Spain was then threatened. So great + was his fame among all men for the holiness of his life and doctrine, that + scarcely sixteen years after his death the whole Council of Toledo, by the + acclamation of more than fifty Bishops, among whom was the holy Ildephonsus + himself, declared him to be worthy to be called the excellent Teacher, the newest + ornament of the Catholic Church, one whose learning would endure to the end of + the world, and of worshipful memory. It was the opinion of the holy Braulio that + he was not only fit to be compared to Gregory the Great, but also that he was a + gift from God to Spain instead of the Apostle James. + + + Isidore wrote Books of Etymologies and on Church Offices, and likewise many + others, so useful in the administration of Christian and Church Law, that the + holy Pope Leo IV felt no scruple in writing to the Bishops of Britain, that the + sayings of Isidore were worthy to be kept like those of Jerome and Augustine, + whenever there is to be done some strange work, wherein the rules of the Canon + Law are not enough defined. Many sentences from his writings may also be + discovered embedded in the Canon Law of the Church itself. He presided over the + Fourth Council of Toledo, the most celebrated that ever met in Spain. Before his + death he had purged Spain of the Arian heresy, and publicly foretold his own + dissolution and the wasting of the kingdom by the Saracens which was to come. He + passed away to heaven, at Seville, where he had ruled his Church for forty years, + in the year of our Lord 636. In accordance with his own commands, his body was + first buried between his brother Leander and his sister Florentina, but + Ferdinand I, King of Castille and Leon, bought it for a great price from Enet, + the Saracen, who then ruled at Seville, carried it to Leon, and there built a + Church in honour of him, wherein his said body lieth, illustrious through + miracles, and reverenced with great worship by the people. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Isidore of Seville, De Officiis Ecclesiasticis, Book II, ch. 5 (on Matt 5:13-19)" + text: + la: >- + Qui in erudiendis, atque instituendis ad virtutem populis præerit, necesse est, + ut in omnibus sanctus sit, et in nullo reprehensibihs habeatur.

He made his studies at Cologne, where he took a vow + to God of perpetual chastity, and shortly afterwards entered the Society of + Jesus. After his ordination as priest, he began at once to defend the Catholic + faith against the wiles of the innovators by missions, sermons, and writing + books. His eminent wisdom and experience caused the Cardinal of Augsburg and + the papal legates to invite him to the Council of Trent, and he was present at + its sittings more than once. Moreover, by the authority of the Supreme + Pontiff, Pius IV, he was entrusted with the charge of making its decrees known + in Germany and carrying them into effect. Paul IV sent him to the Diet of + Petrikau, and Gregory XIII entrusted him with the carrying out of other + missions, all of which he undertook with an eager spirit, never conquered by + any difficulties, and carried the most important affairs of religion through + all the crises of this present life to a successful end. + + + Inflamed with the heavenly fire of charity, which he had once received in the + Vatican basilica from the sanctuary of the Heart of Jesus, and intent only on + increasing the glory of God, it is almost impossible to describe how, for more + than forty years, he took upon himself laborious tasks, and endured hardship, + that he might defend very many cities and provinces of Germany from the + contagion of heresy, or restore to the Catholic faith those that were infected + with heresy. At the Diets of Ratisbon and Augsburg, he exhorted the princes of + the Empire to defend the rights of the Church and reform the lives of their + subjects. At Worms he reduced the insolent teachers of impiety to silence. St. + Ignatius made him prefect of the province of Upper Germany, where he founded + houses and colleges in many places. He used every effort to advance and + enlarge the German College founded at Rome; he restored the study of sacred + and profane learning in academies, which had fallen into a wretched condition. + He wrote two excellent volumes against the Centuriators of Magdeburg; and he + edited a summary of Christian doctrine, which has been thoroughly approved by + the judgment of theologians and by common use everywhere for three centuries, + as well as very many other works useful for public instruction in the vulgar + tongue. For all these reasons he was called the Hammer of the Heretics, and the + Second Apostle of Germany, and is rightly thought to have been worthy of having + been chosen by God to protect religion in Germany. + + + In these activities he was accustomed to unite himself to God by frequent + prayer and assiduous meditation on heavenly things, often bathed in tears and + sometimes with his soul rapt in ecstasy. He was held in great honor by men of + rank, or of most distinguished holiness, and by four of the Supreme Pontiffs, + but he thought so humbly of himself, that he spoke of and held himself as the + least of all. He refused the bishopric of Vienna no less than three times. He + was most obedient to his superiors, and ready at their mere nod to stop or to + undertake all labors, even at the risk of his health and life. He guarded his + chastity with perpetual voluntary self-mortification. At length, at Fribourg in + Switzerland, where during the last years of his life he had labored much for + the glory of God and the salvation of souls, he passed to God on the 21st day + of December, 1597, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. This zealous + champion of Catholic truth was adorned with the heavenly honors of the blessed + by Pope Pius IX; and, as fresh miracles added to his renown, the Supreme + Pontiff Pius XI, in the year of the Jubilee, included him among the Saints, and + at the same time declared him a Doctor of the Universal Church. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Peter Canisius, Notes on the Gospels, on the feast of St. Martin (on Matt 5:13-19)" + text: + la: >- + Amabo et colam missos a Christo Apostolos horumque successores in Evangelii + semine spargendo sedulos et indefessos propagandi verbi cooperatores, qui jure + testari possunt: Sic nos existimet homo ut ministros Christi et dispensatores + mysteriorum Dei.

For all such may + justly say of themselves: Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of + Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. It was Christ himself, like a + watchful and most faithful householder, who wished that the Gospel-lamp should + be lighted by his ministers and stewards with fire sent down from heaven; and + once lighted, that it should not be put under a bushel, but set upon a + candlestick, so as to spread its brightness far and wide, and put to flight all + darkness and error rife among both Jews and Gentiles. + + + It is not enough for the Gospel-teacher to please the people with his + speaking. He must also be the voice of one crying in the wilderness, and so by + his eloquence call many to the good life. He must not be a dumb dog, not even + able to bark, as spoken of by the Prophet Isaiah. Yea, he should also burn in + such a way that, equipped with good works and love, he may adorn his + evangelical office, and follow the leadership of Paul. He indeed was not + satisfied with bidding the bishop of the Ephesians: This command and teach: + conduct thyself in work as a good soldier of Christ Jesus; but he unflaggingly + preached the Gospel to friend and foe alike, and said with a good conscience to + the bishops gathered at Ephesus: Ye know how I kept back nothing that was + profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and + from house to house, urging Jews and Gentiles to turn unto God in repentance + and to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. + + + Such should be the shepherd in the Church who, like Paul, becometh all things + to all men, so that the sick may find healing in him; the sad, joy; the + desperate, hope; the ignorant, instruction; those in doubt, advice; the + penitent, forgiveness and comfort, and finally, every one whatever is + necessary unto salvation. And so Christ, when he wished to appoint the chief + teachers of the world and of the Church, did not limit himself to saying to his + disciples: Ye are the light of the world: but also added: A city that is set on + an hill cannot be hid; neither do men light a candle, and put it under a + bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the + house.

Even as a + child he had an heart like the heart of an old man. Considering, to the utmost of + his young understanding, how fleeting is the course of this dark world, he, in + the eighteenth year of his age, took the habit of a Friar in the Order of + Preachers. After he had made his solemn profession, he devoted himself to sacred + learning, and took the degree of Master in Divinity with much distinction. He + soon after received permission from his superiors to preach the word of God, on + which duty he entered with such power and success, striving against the + unbelief of the Jews, and overthrowing the errors of the Saracens, that he + brought an exceeding great multitude of unbelievers to believe in Christ, and + turned many thousands of Christians from sin to sorrow, and from vice to virtue. + He was a chosen vessel unto God to proclaim the tidings of salvation among all + nations, and tribes, and tongues, crying out that the last day, that awful day of + judgment, is at hand, smiting consternation into the minds of all, as many as + heard him, weaning their love from a perishing world, and turning it to God. + + + While Vincent wrought the Apostolic work of preaching committed to him, he lived + ever as follows: Every morning he sang a solemn Mass, and every day he preached + in public. He fasted every day, unless prevented by some absolute necessity. He + refused to no one his holy and just advice. He never ate meat, nor wore linen. He + quieted public disturbances, and negotiated the peace of kingdoms. When the + seamless garment of the Church was rent by an horrid schism, he worked his every + nerve to unite it again, and keep it one. He was a burning and a shining light of + all virtues, walking always in lowliness and simpleness, so that he meekly + welcomed and embraced them which spake evil against him and persecuted him. + + + The Power of God confirmed his life and doctrine with many great signs and + wonders. He often laid his hands upon the sick and they recovered. He cast out + unclean spirits, and made the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, and the blind to + see. He cleansed the lepers, and raised the dead. After passing through many + countries of Europe with exceeding profit to souls, worn out with age and + disease, but still ever the same unwearied herald of the Gospel, he brought his + life and his preaching together to an happy end, at Vannes in Brittany, in the + year of salvation 1419. Pope Callistus III. numbered him with the Saints. + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
