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.

Fidelis revera famulus et minister Christi, Franciscus, biennio
|
||||
antequam spíritum redderet cælo, cum in loco excélso seorsum, qui
|
||||
mons Alverniæ dícitur, quadragenárium ad honórem Archangeli
|
||||
Michaélis jejunium inchoasset, supernæ contemplatiónis dulcédine
|
||||
abundantius sólito superfusus ac cæléstium desideriórum ardentiori
|
||||
flamma succénsus, supernárum cœpit immissiónum cumulatius dona
|
||||
sentire. Dum ígitur seráphicis desideriórum ardóribus sursum
|
||||
agerétur in Deum, et afféctus compassiva teneritúdine in eum
|
||||
transformarétur, cui ex caritate nimia crucifigi complácuit;
|
||||
quodam mane circa festum Exaltatiónis sanctæ Crucis, in látere
|
||||
montis orans, vidit quasi spéciem uníus Séraphim, sex alas tam
|
||||
fúlgidas quam ignítas habentem, de cælórum sublimitate
|
||||
descendere. Qui, volatu celerrimo ad áëris locum viro Dei
|
||||
propinquum perveniens, non solum alatus, sed et crucifixus
|
||||
appáruit; manus quidem et pedes habens extensos et cruci affixos,
|
||||
alas vero sic miro modo hinc inde dispositas, ut duas supra caput
|
||||
erigeret, duas ad volándum extenderet, duabus vero réliquis totum
|
||||
corpus circumplecténdo velaret. Hoc videns veheménter obstupuit,
|
||||
mixtumque dolori gáudium mens ejus incurrit, dum et in gratióso
|
||||
ejus aspectu, sibi tam mirabíliter quam familiáriter apparentis,
|
||||
excessivam quamdam concipiebat lætítiam, et dira conspecta crucis
|
||||
affixio ipsíus ánimam compassívi dolóris gládio pertransívit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Intelléxit quidem, illo docénte interius qui et apparebat
|
||||
exterius, quod, licet passiónis infirmitas cum immortalitate
|
||||
spíritus seráphici nullátenus conveníret, ideo tamen hujusmodi
|
||||
visio suis fuerat præsentáta conspéctibus, ut amícus ipse Christi
|
||||
prænosceret, se, non per martyrium carnis sed per incendium
|
||||
mentis, totum in Christi Jesu crucifixi expressam similitúdinem
|
||||
transformándum. Dispárens ítaque visio, post arcanum ac
|
||||
familiare collóquium, mentem ipsíus seráphico interius inflammávit
|
||||
ardore; carnem vero Crucifixo conformi exterius insignívit
|
||||
effigie, tamquam si ad ignis liquefactivam virtútem præámbulam
|
||||
sigillativa quædam esset impréssio subsecuta. Statim namque in
|
||||
mánibus et pédibus ejus apparere cœpérunt signa clavórum, ipsórum
|
||||
capítibus in inferióri parte mánuum et superiori pedum
|
||||
apparéntibus, et eórum acumínibus exsisténtibus ex adverso.
|
||||
Dextrum quoque latus, quasi lancea transfixum, rubra cicatrice
|
||||
obductum erat, quod sæpe, sánguinem sacrum effúndens, túnicam et
|
||||
femoralia respergebat.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Postquam ígitur novus homo Franciscus novo et stupéndo miraculo
|
||||
cláruit, cum singulari privilegio retroactis sæculis non
|
||||
concesso insignítus appáruit, sacris vidélicet Stigmátibus
|
||||
decoratus, descéndit de monte secum ferens Crucifixi effigiem,
|
||||
non in tábulis lapídeis vel ligneis manu figuratam artíficis, sed
|
||||
in carneis membris descriptam digito Dei vivi. Quóniam
|
||||
sacraméntum regis seráphicus vir abscóndere bonum esse optime
|
||||
norat, secreti regalis cónscius, signácula illa sacra pro
|
||||
víribus occultábat. Verum, quia Dei est ad glóriam suam magna
|
||||
revelare quæ facit, Dóminus ipse, qui signácula illa secrete
|
||||
impresserat, miracula quædam aperte per ipsa monstrávit; ut
|
||||
illórum occúlta et mira vis Stígmatum manifesta patéret
|
||||
claritáte signórum. Rem admirábilem ac tantopere testatam atque
|
||||
in pontificiis diplomátibus præcipuis laudibus et favóribus
|
||||
exáltatam, Benedíctus Papa undecimus anniversaria solemnitate
|
||||
celebrari vóluit; quam póstea Paulus quintus Pontifex maximus, ut
|
||||
corda fidelium in Christi crucifixi accenderéntur amórem, ad
|
||||
universam Ecclésiam propagávit.

|

Francis being indeed a faithful servant and minister of Christ,
|
||||
about the space of two years before he gave back his spirit to
|
||||
heaven, withdrew himself into an high mountain apart, even that
|
||||
mountain which is called Mount Alverno, and began to fast for
|
||||
forty days to the honour of the Archangel Michael. To think of
|
||||
the things above gave him sweeter comfort than beforetime he was
|
||||
wont, and the hot longing for heaven was kindled in him, so that
|
||||
he began to feel that the gifts from above were poured forth
|
||||
upon him in such fulness as he had never felt before. The
|
||||
burning of his desire made his heart rise towards God like the
|
||||
heart of a seraph, and his tender answering love yearned to be
|
||||
changed into the likeness of Him Who hath so loved us that He
|
||||
was content to bear the Cross. And it was so that one morning
|
||||
early, about the time of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy
|
||||
Cross, he was praying upon the side of the mountain, and there
|
||||
appeared unto him as it had been one of the Seraphim, having six
|
||||
wings, glorious and fiery, flying to him from heaven. It came
|
||||
therefore very swiftly, and stood in the air, hard by the man of
|
||||
God. He beheld then the appearance thereof that it was not
|
||||
winged only, but crucified also. His hands and feet were
|
||||
stretched forth and nailed to a Cross. Twain of his wings were
|
||||
lifted up and joined one to the other over his head, and twain
|
||||
were stretched forth to fly withal, and with twain he wrapped
|
||||
around his body. When Francis saw it, he was sore amazed, and
|
||||
his soul was filled with sorrow and gladness, for the eyes of
|
||||
him that appeared were full of strange love and tenderness, so
|
||||
that he conceived great rejoicing thereat, but the nailing to
|
||||
the Cross was so exceedingly dreadful, that as he saw it, a
|
||||
sword of sorrow pierced his soul.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then He Whom he beheld with his bodily eyes, began to speak
|
||||
silently unto him in his heart, and he understood that albeit
|
||||
the deathless Seraphim cannot suffer or faint, this vision was
|
||||
nevertheless therefore set before him, that he might know that
|
||||
as a friend of Christ he was to be all changed into the likeness
|
||||
of Christ Jesus crucified, not by the martyrdom of the body, but
|
||||
by the fervour of the soul. Then they held together some sweet
|
||||
converse, as of a man with his friend, and the vision passed
|
||||
from him, but his heart was kindled inwardly with the fire of
|
||||
the Seraphim, and his body was outwardly changed into the
|
||||
likeness of Him Who was crucified, even as wax is softened by
|
||||
the fire and taketh the impression of the seal. From thenceforth
|
||||
there were in his hands and feet the marks of the nails. The
|
||||
heads of the nails were seen in the palms of his hands and on
|
||||
the insteps of his feet, and the points came out on the backs
|
||||
of his hands and the soles of his feet. In his right side also
|
||||
was a long raw wound, as though he had been pierced with a
|
||||
spear, from which wound his holy blood oftentimes ran and
|
||||
stained his shirt and breeches.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Thereafter Francis was a new creature, famous for a new and
|
||||
awful sign. The holy marks of the Lord Jesus, whereon living man
|
||||
for twelve centuries had not been allowed to look, were his
|
||||
adornment. He came down from the mount bearing in himself the
|
||||
form of Jesus Crucified, not portrayed upon tables of stone or
|
||||
wood by the hand of any earthly craftsman, but drawn upon his
|
||||
flesh by the finger of the living God. The dying Seraph knew
|
||||
well that it is good to keep close the secret of a king, and
|
||||
knowing the secret of his King, he strove as far as in him lay
|
||||
to keep the sacred marks hidden from men. Nevertheless, forasmuch
|
||||
as it is the will of the Lord God for His Own glory to make
|
||||
manifest the greatness of His Own works, He openly showed forth
|
||||
diverse wonders through these wounds which He had Himself made
|
||||
in secret, so that the hidden and wondrous power of the marks
|
||||
might become known by the fame of the miracles. The foregoing
|
||||
marvellous but thoroughly witnessed facts, which were already
|
||||
spoken of in Papal documents with especial praise and joy, were
|
||||
made, by the pleasure of Pope Benedict XI, the subject of a
|
||||
yearly memorial, which was afterwards extended by Paul V. to the
|
||||
whole Church, in the hope of fanning in the hearts of the
|
||||
faithful the love of Christ Crucified.
