Continues the full-year sanctoral import: St. Stephen of Hungary, St. Pius X, St. Lawrence Justinian, Ss. Protus and Hyacinth, the Holy Name of Mary, the Seven Sorrows of the BVM (Duplex II Classis, own full proper content except Nocturn 2, a real cross-reference to Passion Friday's own temporal content), the Impression of the Stigmata of St. Francis, St. Joseph of Cupertino, Our Lady of Ransom, and St. Wenceslaus. Ss. Protus and Hyacinth (Sep 11) were previously excluded under a stale "real secondary saint blocked by the Nativity's own octave, same as St. Clare in August" note -- wrong, same class of error already corrected for St. Tiburtius/Susanna in August: the octave-window exclusion was never a real rule. Sep 15 (day 8 of the Nativity's own octave) is now also the Seven Sorrows' own fixed day (Duplex II Classis), which wins outright with the octave still commemorated alongside her -- updated september-sanctoral.test.ts's own "excluded secondary saints" case accordingly, splitting it into the still-valid Sep 9 (Gorgonius) half and a new Sep 15 case reflecting the real winner.

Quo témpore major feliciorque Hispaniárum pars diro Saracenórum
|
||||
opprimebátur jugo, innumerique fidéles sub immani servitute,
|
||||
maximo cum periculo christianæ fidei abjurandæ, amittendæque
|
||||
salútis ætérnæ, infeliciter detinebántur, beatíssima cælórum
|
||||
Regína, tot tantisque benigniter occurrens malis, nimiam
|
||||
caritátem suam in iis rediméndis osténdit. Nam sancto Petro
|
||||
Nolasco, pietáte et opibus florenti, qui, sanctis vacans
|
||||
meditatiónibus, jugiter animo recogitábat qua ratióne tot
|
||||
Christianórum ærumnis sub Maurórum captivitáte degéntium
|
||||
succurri posset, ípsamet beatíssima Virgo, serena fronte, se
|
||||
conspiciéndam dedit; et acceptíssimum sibi ac unigenito suo
|
||||
Fílio fore dixit, si suum in honórem institueréntur ordo
|
||||
religiosórum, quibus cura incumberet captivos e Turcárum
|
||||
tyrannide liberandi. Qua cælésti visióne vir Dei recreatus,
|
||||
mirum est quo caritátis ardore flagrare cœperit, hoc unum
|
||||
servans in corde suo, ut ipse ac instituénda ab eo religio
|
||||
maximam illam caritátem sedulo exercerent, ut quisque ánimam
|
||||
suam póneret pro amicis et próximis suis.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ea ipsa nocte éadem Virgo sanctíssima beato Raymundo de
|
||||
Péñafort et Jacobo Aragoniæ regi appáruit, idípsum de religiosis
|
||||
instituéndis ádmonens, suadensque ut opem pro constructióne
|
||||
tanti operis ferrent. Petrus autem statim ad Raymundi pedes, qui
|
||||
ipsi erat a sacris confessiónibus, ádvolans, ei rem omnem
|
||||
apéruit; quem étiam cælitus instructum réperit, ejusque
|
||||
directióni se humillime subjécit. At, superveniens Jacobus rex,
|
||||
quam et ipse acceperat a beatíssima Vírgine, revelatiónem
|
||||
éxsequi státuit. Unde, collátis inter se consíliis, et
|
||||
consentiéntibus ánimis, in honórem ejusdem Vírginis Matris
|
||||
ordinem institúere aggressi sunt, sub invocatióne sanctæ Maríæ
|
||||
de Mercede redemptiónis captivórum.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Die ígitur décima Augusti anno Dómini millesimo ducentésimo
|
||||
décimo octavo, rex idem Jacobus eam institutiónem, jamprídem ab
|
||||
iisdem sanctis viris conceptam, éxsequi státuit, sodálibus
|
||||
quarto voto adstrictis manéndi in pignus sub paganórum potestate,
|
||||
si pro Christianórum liberatióne opus fúerit. Quibus rex ipsa
|
||||
arma sua regia in péctore deferre concessit, et a Gregório nono
|
||||
illud tam præcellentis erga próximum caritátis institutum et
|
||||
religiónem confírmari curávit. Sed et ipse Deus per Vírginem
|
||||
Matrem increméntum dedit, ut talis institútio celerius ac
|
||||
felicius totum per orbem divulgarétur, sanctisque viris florúerit
|
||||
caritate ac pietáte insígnibus, qui eleemósynas a Christi
|
||||
fidelibus collectas in prétium redemptiónis suórum proximórum
|
||||
expénderent, seque ipsos intérdum darent in redemptiónem
|
||||
multórum.

In the early part of the thirteenth century of the era of our
|
||||
Lord, the greatest and fairest part of Spain lay crushed under
|
||||
the yoke of the Saracens, and countless numbers of the faithful
|
||||
were held in brutal slavery, with the most lively danger of
|
||||
being made to deny the Christian faith and of losing everlasting
|
||||
salvation. Amid such sorrows the most Blessed Queen of heaven
|
||||
came mercifully to the rescue, and showed how the greatness of
|
||||
her motherly love was fain for their redemption. Holy Peter
|
||||
Nolasco, in the full bloom of the treasures of godliness as well
|
||||
as rich in earthly wealth, was earnestly pondering with himself
|
||||
how he could succour so many suffering Christians dwelling in
|
||||
bondage to the Moors. To him appeared with gracious visage the
|
||||
Most Blessed Virgin, and bade him know that it would be well
|
||||
pleasing in her own sight, and in the sight of her Only-begotten
|
||||
Son, that an Order of Religious men should be founded in her
|
||||
honour, whose work it should be to redeem prisoners from
|
||||
Mohammedan slavery. Strengthened by this heavenly vision, the man
|
||||
of God began to burn with wonderful charity, nursing in his
|
||||
heart the one desire that he himself and the Order which he
|
||||
should found might exercise that love, greater than which hath
|
||||
no man, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upon the same night the same most holy Virgin appeared to the
|
||||
Blessed Raymund de Penafuerte, and to James, King of Aragon,
|
||||
charging them concerning the founding of the Order, and desiring
|
||||
them to help in raising up so great a work. Peter betook himself
|
||||
forthwith to the feet of Raymund, who was his confessor, and
|
||||
laid the matter before him, whom also he found taught from
|
||||
heaven, and to whose governance he right humbly submitted
|
||||
himself. Then came King James, who appointed to carry out this
|
||||
revelation, which himself also had received from the Most
|
||||
Blessed Virgin. The three took counsel together, and all with
|
||||
one consent entered upon the institution of an Order in honour
|
||||
of the said Virgin Mother, to be placed under the invocation of
|
||||
St. Mary of Ransom, for the redemption of captives.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upon the 10th of August, in the year of our Lord 1218, the
|
||||
above-named King James decreed the establishment of this Order,
|
||||
thus already conceived by these holy men. The brethren take, in
|
||||
addition to the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, a
|
||||
fourth vow, whereby they bind themselves to remain in pawn with
|
||||
the unbelievers, if need so require, for the liberation of
|
||||
Christians. The King granted them the right to bear on their
|
||||
breasts his own Royal blazon, and obtained from Gregory IX. the
|
||||
confirmation of this Institute and Order so nobly marked by
|
||||
brotherly charity. God Himself, through the Virgin Mother, gave
|
||||
the increase, causing this Institute speedily and prosperously
|
||||
to spread through all the world, and to blossom with holy men,
|
||||
great in love and godliness, to spend in the redemption of their
|
||||
neighbours the alms which are committed to them by Christ's
|
||||
faithful people, to that end, and some whiles to give themselves
|
||||
up for the ransom of many.
