Add September sanctoral content: 10 saints/feasts

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.

+        It is said: And the virgin's name was Mary. Let us speak a few
+        words upon this name, which signifieth, being interpreted, Star
+        of the Sea, and suiteth very well the Maiden Mother, who may very
+        meetly be likened unto a star. A star giveth forth her rays
+        without any harm to herself, and the Virgin brought forth her
+        Son without any hurt to her virginity. The light of a star
+        taketh nothing away from the star itself, and the birth of her
+        offspring took nothing away from the Virginity of Mary. She is
+        that noble star which was to come out of Jacob, whose brightness
+        still sheddeth lustre upon all the earth, whose rays are most
+        brilliant in heaven, and shine even unto hell, lighting up earth
+        midway, and warming souls rather than bodies, fostering good and
+        scaring away evil. She, I say, is a clear and shining star,
+        twinkling with excellencies, and resplendent with example,
+        needfully set to look down upon the surface of this great and
+        wide sea.
+
+
+        Thou, whosoever thou art, that knowest thyself to be here not so
+        much walking upon firm ground, as battered to and fro by the
+        gales and storms of this life's ocean, if thou wouldest not be
+        overwhelmed by the tempest, keep thine eyes fixed upon this
+        star's clear shining. If the hurricanes of temptation rise
+        against thee, or thou art running upon the rocks of trouble, look
+        to the star, call on Mary. If the waves of pride, or ambition, or
+        slander, or envy toss thee, look to the star, call on Mary. If
+        the billows of anger or avarice, or the enticements of the flesh
+        beat against thy soul's bark, look to Mary. If the enormity of
+        thy sins trouble thee, if the foulness of thy conscience confound
+        thee, if the dread of judgment appall thee, if thou begin to slip
+        into the deep of despondency, into the pit of despair, think of
+        Mary.
+
+
+        In danger, in difficulty, or in doubt, think on Mary, call on
+        Mary. Let her not be away from thy mouth or from thine heart, and
+        that thou mayest not lack the succour of her prayers, turn not
+        aside from the example of her conversation. If thou follow her,
+        thou wilt never go astray. If thou pray to her, thou wilt never
+        have need to despair. If thou keep her in mind, thou wilt never
+        wander. If she hold thee, thou wilt never fall. If she lead
+        thee, thou wilt never be weary. If she help thee, thou wilt reach
+        home safe at the last; and so thou wilt prove in thyself how
+        meetly it is said: And the virgin's name was Mary. Particular
+        honours were already paid to this worshipful name in diverse
+        parts of the Christian world, but the Bishop of Rome, Innocent
+        XI, ordered this Feast in honour of it to be held every year
+        throughout the whole Church, as an everlasting thanksgiving for
+        the great blessing that, under her protection, the brutal Sultan
+        of the Turks, who was trampling upon the necks of the Christian
+        population, was thoroughly beaten before the walls of Vienna.

+        Dearly beloved brethren, ye have this day heard how an Angel
+        treated with a woman touching the regeneration of mankind. Ye
+        have heard how it was arranged that man should return to life by
+        the same mean whereby he had fallen into death. The Angel
+        treateth, treateth with Mary concerning salvation, because an
+        angel had treated with Eve concerning destruction. Ye have heard
+        how an Angel set about to raise with unspeakable building a
+        temple of the Divine Majesty out of the dust of the earth. Ye
+        have heard how by a mystery which cannot be understood, God got a
+        place on earth and man a place in heaven. Ye have heard how by a
+        working hitherto unheard of, God and man are joined together in
+        one Body. Ye have heard how at the message of an angel, the weak
+        nature whereof our flesh is sharer, became strong to bear the
+        whole glory of the Godhead.
+
+
+        Then, lest the frail clay of humanity should break down under
+        the weight of God's work, and in Mary the tender stem should
+        snap, which was about to bear the fruit of all mankind, the
+        Angel's first words were a preventive against fear. And the
+        Angel said unto her: Fear not, Mary. Even before the matter is
+        revealed, the exalted station of this Virgin is made clear by
+        her very name, for the name Mary is an Hebrew word, and
+        signifieth Lady. The Angel therefore greeteth her as Lady, that
+        the Mother of the Lord may lay aside the fearfulness of His
+        handmaiden, whom the will of her own Offspring had made to be
+        born and to be called a Lady. Fear not, Mary, for thou hast
+        found grace. He that hath found grace, need fear no more. Thou
+        hast found grace.
+
+
+        Blessed is she who alone among mankind, and first among mankind
+        deserved to hear: Thou hast found grace. And how much grace?
+        Even as the Angel had said: Full! Full of grace. Full indeed!
+        Grace like a bountiful shower drenched and soaked her whole
+        being. For thou hast found grace with God. As he saith this,
+        even the Angel doth marvel. He marvelleth that a woman should
+        merit eternal life, that all men should merit it through her.
+        The Angel marvelleth that the whole Godhead, he to whom the
+        entire universe is small, should enter the narrow womb of a
+        virgin. So he delayeth. He calleth her virgin. That was her
+        right. He haileth her as full of grace.

+        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.

+        There stood by the Cross His Mother. Men had forsaken Him, but
+        she stood there fearless. Behold how the Mother of Jesus could
+        break through her shrinking modesty, but could not belie her
+        heart. With the eyes of a mother's love she gazed upon the Wounds
+        of her Son, those Wounds through Which she knew that redemption
+        for all mankind was flowing. The Mother, who feared not the
+        executioners, was able to endure the sight of their work. Her
+        Son was hanging upon the Cross, and she braved His tormentors.
+
+
+        Mary, the Mother of the Lord, stood by the Cross of her Son. My
+        only informant of this fact is the holy Evangelist John. Others
+        have written that when the Lord suffered, the earth quaked, the
+        heavens were veiled in darkness, the sun was hidden, and the
+        thief received, after a good confession, the promise of
+        Paradise. John hath taught us what the others have not taught
+        us. Upon the Cross He called her Mother. It is reckoned a
+        greater thing that in the moment of triumph over agony, He
+        should have discharged the watchful duty of a Son to His Mother,
+        than that He should have made gift of the kingdom of heaven. For
+        if it be a sacred thing to have forgiven the thief, this so
+        great kindness of the Son to the Mother is to be worshipped as
+        the outcome of a tenderer and more touching love.
+
+
+        Behold, saith the Lord, thy son: Behold thy Mother! Christ bore
+        witness from the Cross, and divided the offices of his tender
+        love between his Mother and his disciple. Thus doth the Lord
+        give us a testament, not only of his love for souls, but also of
+        his natural affection. Moreover, the testimony which John doth
+        give us concerning this same testament, is a worthy testimony to
+        the original Testator himself. It is a good testament, not of
+        earthly riches, but of eternal life, written not in ink, but in
+        the Spirit of the living God, who speaketh of such testimony in
+        the Psalms, saying: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

+        This Joseph was born, of godly parents, at Cupertino, a small
+        village of the diocese of Nardo, between Brindisi and Otranto, in
+        the year of Redemption 1603. The love of God came to him early,
+        and he passed his childhood and youth in great guilelessness and
+        harmlessness. After recovering by the help of the Virgin Mother
+        of God from a long and painful sickness which he bore very
+        quietly, he gave himself altogether to godliness and
+        self-improvement. God called him inwardly to higher things, and
+        to give himself more utterly to His service, he determined in
+        himself to join the "Seraphic" Order. After diverse failures and
+        changes, he obtained his wish among the Friars of the convent of
+        "La Grotella." He went first as a lay-brother, on account of his
+        ignorance of letters, but God was pleased to allow him afterwards
+        to be taken among the choir brethren. After taking his solemn
+        vows he was ordained Priest, and then set before him to aim at a
+        more perfect life. To this end (as far as in him lay) he thrust
+        from him all earthly affections and all carnal things, even to
+        such as seem almost needful for life. He tormented his body with
+        haircloth, scourging, spiked chains, and every kind of hardship
+        and affliction. He fed his spirit sweetly upon the constant
+        exercise of holy prayer, and gazing upon the highest matters. And
+        so it came to pass that the love of God, which had been
+        enkindled in his heart from his earliest years, burnt forth day
+        by day more strangely and openly.
+
+
+        The chief outcome of this love of God was the strong and
+        marvellous trances whereinto he oftentimes fell. It was,
+        nevertheless, strange to observe that after he had entirely lost
+        his senses he could be called out of the trance by the mere
+        order of his superiors. To be utterly obedient was one of his
+        chief aims, and he was used to say that those who ruled him
+        could lead him about like a blind man, and that it was better to
+        die than not to obey. He so imitated the poverty of the Seraphic
+        Patriarch, that when he was at the point of death, he was able
+        to tell his Superior that he had absolutely nothing. Thus
+        bearing about in his body the dying of the Lord Jesus, the life
+        also of Jesus was made manifest in his body. When he saw that
+        certain persons had committed a foul sin of uncleanness, there
+        came from him a strong savour, a proof of that snowy and
+        glorious purity which, in spite of the most hideous temptations
+        whereby the unclean spirit wrestled long to darken it, he kept
+        undefiled, partly by an iron bridling of his senses, partly by
+        the stern punishments he inflicted upon his own body, and partly
+        by the extraordinary protection of the pure Virgin Mary, whom he
+        was used to call his own Mother.
+
+
+        This eagerness on the part of the blessed Joseph was but one
+        outcome from his love for his neighbours. So great was his zeal
+        for souls, that he vehemently sought in all ways for the
+        salvation of all. They who reviled, and slandered, and insulted
+        himself were not cut off from his love. He was used to welcome
+        such with great long-suffering, meekness, and cheerfulness of
+        countenance. But God, Who exalteth them of low degree, glorified
+        His servant during life with the gifts of heavenly wisdom, of
+        prophecy, of discerning the hidden thoughts of the heart, of
+        healing, and of other spiritual gifts in marvellous abundance,
+        gave him a precious death, and made the place of his rest
+        glorious. He fell asleep in Jesus upon the very day and at the
+        very place foretold by himself, that is, at Osimo, in the 61st
+        year of his own age. He was famous for miracles even after his
+        death, and Benedict XIV. enrolled his name among those of the
+        Blessed, and Clement XIII. among those of the Saints.

+        Dearly beloved brethren, ye have already entered, at the Lord's
+        bidding, into the house where the marriage feast is being held,
+        that is to say, into the Holy Church, and look ye well to it,
+        that when the King cometh in to see the guests, he see nothing
+        amiss in your soul's wedding-garment. For indeed it is with
+        great searchings of heart that we are behoven to consider that
+        which so soon cometh. "And when the King came in to see the
+        guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment."
+        Dearly beloved brethren, what are we to think is signified by
+        this wedding garment? Is it baptism or is it faith? But without
+        baptism, or without faith, who could be seated at the
+        marriage-feast? He that believeth not would still be without
+        the house. What then, except love, must we understand by the
+        wedding-garment? He who hath faith and is in the Holy Church,
+        but hath not charity, cometh in unto the wedding indeed, but
+        hath not a wedding-garment. And charity is well called the
+        wedding-garment, for it is the garment wherewithal our Maker
+        decked Himself when He came to wed the Church unto Himself.
+
+
+        It was the work of God's love alone that His Only-begotten Son
+        should wed Himself unto the souls of the elect. Whence indeed
+        John saith: "God so loved the world, that He gave His
+        Only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
+        perish, but have everlasting life." He therefore Whom love
+        brought among men, showeth that the same love is His
+        wedding-garment. Each one therefore of you who is in the Church
+        and believeth in God, hath already come in unto the
+        marriage-feast, but if he keep not the grace of charity, he is
+        come in thither not having a wedding-garment. In sooth, my
+        brethren, if one be asked to an earthly marriage, he changeth
+        his attire, to show even by his garments that he rejoiceth in
+        the joy of the Bride and Bridegroom. We are come unto God's
+        marriage-feast, and we make pretence to change the vesture of
+        our hearts.
+
+
+        We must know that as every garment is woven upon two beams, an
+        upper and a lower, so love is bound unto two commandments, the
+        one bidding us to love God, and the other to love our neighbour.
+        For thus is it written: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
+        all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
+        And the second is like unto it: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour
+        as thyself." In the which we are to see that bounds are set to
+        that love wherewith we are to love our neighbour, for it is
+        said: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." But to the
+        love wherewith we are to love God are set no bounds, for it is
+        said: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
+        with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." A man is not
+        commanded to what point he is to love God, but from what point,
+        even as it is said, "with all"; for he only truly loveth God,
+        who leaveth nothing for himself.

+        Laurentius, ex illustri Justinianorum familia Venetiis natus,
+        eximiam vel puer morum gravitatem præ se tulit. Exacta inter
+        pietatis officia adolescentia, ad castum verbi et animæ connubium
+        a divina sapientia invitatus, de religiosæ vitæ instituto
+        capessendo deliberare cœpit. Novæ ítaque militiæ clam proludens,
+        præter alias corporis affuctationes, super nudos cubabat asseres,
+        sedensque velut arbiter hinc inter sæculi blandimenta, paratasque
+        a matre nuptias, illinc claustrales inter austeritates oculis in
+        Christi patientis crucem conversis: Tu, inquit, es Domine spes
+        mea: ibi posuisti certissimum refugium tuum; ad canonicorum
+        sancti Georgii in Alga congregationem convolavit: ubi novis
+        excogitatis cruciatibus acrius in seipsum, veluti in hostem
+        infensissimum, instaurans bellum, nullam adeo sibi oblectationem
+        indulgebat, ut ne in domesticum umquam hortum, nec in paternam
+        quidem domum, nisi cum morienti matri extrema pietatis officia
+        siccis oculis persolvit, exinde intraverit. Par erat obedientiæ,
+        mansuetudinis, ac præcipue humilitatis studium, cum abjectissima
+        quæque cœnobii munia sibi ultro desumeret, celeberrima per urbis
+        loca, non tam victum quam ludibria emendicaret, illatasque
+        contumelias ac calumnias immotus ac silens perferret; assiduæ
+        præsertim orationis subsidio, qua sæpe per mentis excessum
+        rapiebatur in Deum; tantoque cor ejus æstuabat ardore, ut
+        nutantes étiam sodales ad perseverantiam ac Jesu Christi amórem
+        inflammaret.
+
+
+        Ab Eugenio quarto patriæ episcopus designatus quem magna
+        contentione honorem detrectaverat, majori gessit cum laude. Nam
+        consueta vivendi ratione nihil admodum immutata, paupertatem,
+        quam semper coluerat, in mensa, supellectili ac lecto perpetuo
+        retinuit. Modicam domi alebat familiam, quod grandem alteram
+        sibi esse diceret, pauperes Christi significans. Quacumque
+        adiretur hora, præsto omnibus erat, paterna omnes caritate
+        allevabat, non renuens vel ære se alieno gravare, illorum ne
+        inopiæ deesset. Rogatus qua spe id faceret? Domini mei, qui pro
+        me dissolvere facile poterit, respondebat. Spem autem non
+        confundere divina providentia submissis inopinato subsidiis
+        jugiter declarabat. Plura virginum monasteria construxit, quas
+        étiam ad perfectioris vitæ rationem sua vigilantia composuit.
+        Matronis a sæculi pompis et ornatus vanitate revocandis,
+        ecclesiasticæ disciplinæ ac moribus reformandis maximopere
+        studuit; dignus sane qui ab eodem Eugenio gloria et decus
+        præsulum coram cardinalibus vocaretur, et qui a Nicolao quinto
+        ejus successore, translato e Gradensi civitate titulo, primus
+        Venetiarum patriarcha renuntiaretur.
+
+
+        Lacrimarum dono insignitus, omnipotenti Deo placationis hostiam
+        quotidie offerebat. Quod cum aliquando nocte Dominicæ Nativitatis
+        peragéret, Christum Jesum sub pulcherrimi infantis specie videre
+        promeruit; tantumque in eo erat commissi gregis præsidium, ut
+        cælitus aliquando acceptum fuerit, pontificis sui intercessione
+        ac meritis stetisse rempublicam. Prophetiæ spiritu afflatus,
+        plura humanæ cognitioni prorsus impervia prædixit: morbos ac
+        dæmones suis precibus sæpe fugavit: libros étiam cælestem
+        doctrinam ac pietatem spirantes, grammaticæ pene rudis,
+        conscripsit. Denique cum lethalem incidisset in morbum, et
+        commodiorem domestici lectum seni atque ægro pararent, aversatus
+        ejusmodi delicias, tamquam a durissima morientis Domini sui cruce
+        plus nimio abhorrentes, consueto in stramine se jussit deponi, et
+        finem vitæ suæ adventare prænoscens, sublatis in cælum oculis:
+        Venio, inquit, ad te, o bone Jesu; ac die octava Januarii
+        obdormivit in Domino.

+        This Lawrence was born at Venice, of the noble family of the
+        Giustiniani, and was an exceedingly sober lad even from his
+        childhood. He passed a godly boyhood, and feeling the Divine
+        Wisdom calling him to a pure marriage between his own soul and the
+        Word of God, he began to think of becoming a monk. He therefore
+        tried in private some of the exercises of this new warfare, and,
+        among other afflictions of his body, used to sleep upon the bare
+        boards. As he thus sat weighing on the one hand the pleasures of
+        the world, and a marriage which his mother wished to bring about
+        for him, and, on the other, the hardness of the cloister, he
+        turned his eyes upon the Cross of the suffering Christ, and said:
+        "Thou, O Lord, art my trust; there hast Thou made my surest
+        refuge." He entered among the Canons of St-George's-in-the-sea-
+        weed, where he devised new tortures and declared war against
+        himself as his own worst enemy. He allowed himself no enjoyment,
+        so that he would not even go into the private garden of the
+        house, neither did he ever go thenceforth into the house of his
+        own father, except when his mother was dying, and he went there
+        with dry eyes to pay her the last offices of a son's duty and
+        affection. His obedience, gentleness, and especially his lowliness
+        were very great. He went out of his way to take the meanest
+        pieces of work about the house. He used to go to the most public
+        places of the city, seeking, not so much for food as for mockery,
+        and bore unmoved and in silence the insults and slanders which
+        were cast upon him. He found his ever-present help in prayer,
+        wherein he became often beside himself and rapt in God, and such
+        was the warmth that burned in his heart, that he stirred up
+        failing comrades to hold bravely on and to love Jesus Christ.
+
+
+        Eugene IV named him Bishop of Venice, an office which he very
+        earnestly struggled to avoid, and which he discharged with great
+        honour. He changed in no wise way of living, but kept always to
+        his beloved poverty in his table, his furniture, and his bed. He
+        kept but a small household, saying that he had another very
+        large one, in Christ's poor. At what hour soever any one came to
+        see him, he was always ready to receive them, he helped all with
+        the tenderness of a father, not refusing to charge himself with
+        debts, that he might have wherewith to relieve misery. When he was
+        asked with what hope he incurred these liabilities, he answered:
+        "With hope in my Master, Who can easily meet them for me." And the
+        Providence of God put not his hope to shame, but helped him
+        amply with unexpected funds. He built several Convents of nuns,
+        for whom his watchful care ordered a more perfect way of living.
+        He laboured much to wean married women from worldly folly and
+        display, and to reform the discipline of the Church and the lives
+        of all. He was indeed worthy that Eugene should call him in the
+        presence of the Cardinals "the glory and ornament of the
+        Episcopate," and that his successor Nicholas V should transfer
+        the title of Patriarch from Grado, and create him the first
+        Patriarch of Venice.
+
+
+        He was eminent for the gift of tears, in which he offered up to
+        God every day the Sacrifice of atonement. When he was so doing
+        one Christmas Midnight, he won to see Christ Jesus in the form of
+        a little Child exceeding fair to look upon. Such was his care of
+        the flock committed to his charge, that it was sometime revealed
+        from heaven that the Commonwealth had been saved by the prayers
+        of her Bishop. He was inspired with the spirit of prophecy, and
+        fore-told many things which no wit of man could have perceived.
+        By his prayers he often put diseases and devils to flight. Though
+        very ignorant of letters, he wrote books which breathe heavenly
+        teaching and godliness. When he fell into his last deadly
+        sickness, his servants got ready a more comfortable bed for the
+        suffering old man, but he turned away from such ease as so
+        different from the hardness of the Cross upon which his Master
+        had died. He ordered himself to be laid upon the planks to which
+        he was accustomed, and when he knew that the end of his life was
+        come, he looked up to heaven and said: "O good Jesus, I am coming
+        to thee," and so fell asleep in the Lord on the 8th day of
+        January.

+        pago natus est, quem Riése vocant, paréntibus quidem humílibus,

+        Mantuánæ ecclésiæ Antístes fuit renuntiátus.
+
+
+        Boni pastóris nullam partem déserens, eo máxime conténdit, ut
+        juvéntus in sortem Dómini vocáta rite ad sacra instituerétur, piæ
+        consociatiónes novis augéscerent increméntis, rítibus divíni
+        cultus plus decóris ac pietátis accéderet. Præcépta quibus cívitas
+        christiána nítitur, áltius proclamáre non désiit, et qui vitam
+        ínopem ipse ducébat, paupéribus numquam omísit afférre levámen.
+        Tot ígitur suffragántibus méritis, inter purpurátos Patres
+        adléctus et Venetiárum Patriárcha creátus est. Dénique post Leónis

+        ápicem ut crucem a Deo sibi oblátam, demísso sed forti ánimo
+        suscépit.
+
+
+        In Petri cáthedra constitútus, nihil de prístina vitæ ratióne
+        remísit. Humilitáte præsértim, simplicitáte ac paupertáte
+        refúlsit, ita ut in suo testaménto scríbere potúerit: « Pauper

+        fortitúdinem in eo alébat, cum de Dei glória, Ecclésiæ libertáte,

+        tenax, inter vicésimi ineúntis sæculi procéllas, Ecclésiam
+        fírmiter rexit, et præclaríssimis ornávit institútis. Músicam

+        Pope Pius X, whose name previously was Joseph Sarto, was born in
+        the village of Riese in the Venetian province, to humble parents
+        remarkable for their godliness and piety. He enrolled among the
+        students in the seminary of Padua, where he exhibited such piety
+        and learning that he was both an example to his fellow students and
+        the admiration of his teachers. Upon his ordination to the
+        priesthood, he labored for several years first as curate in the
+        town of Tombolo, then as pastor at Salzano. He applied himself to
+        his duties with such a constant flow of charity and such priestly
+        zeal, and was so distinguished by the holiness of his life, that
+        the Bishop of Treviso appointed him as a canon of the cathedral
+        church and made him the chancellor of the bishop's curia, as well
+        as spiritual director of the diocesan seminary. His performance in
+        these duties was so outstanding and so highly impressed Leo XIII,
+        that he made him bishop of the Church of Mantua.
+
+
+        Lacking in nothing that makes a good pastor, he labored
+        particularly to teach young men called to the priesthood, as well
+        as fostering the growth of devout associations and the beauty and
+        dignity of divine worship. He would ever affirm and promote the
+        laws upon which Christian civilization depend, and while leading
+        himself a life of poverty, never missed the opportunity to
+        alleviate the burden of poverty in others. Because of his great
+        merits, he was made a cardinal and created Patriarch of Venice.
+        After the death of Pope Leo XIII, when the votes of the College of
+        Cardinals began to increase in his favor, he tried in vain with
+        supplications and tears to be relieved of so heavy a burden.
+        Finally he ceded to their persuasions, saying: I accept the cross.
+        Thus he accepted the crown of the supreme pontificate as a cross,
+        offering himself to God, with a resigned but stedfast spirit.
+
+
+        Placed upon the chair of Peter, he gave up nothing of his former
+        way of life. He shone especially in humility, simplicity and
+        poverty, so that he was able to write in his last testament: I was
+        born in poverty, I lived in poverty, and I wish to die in poverty.
+        His humility, however, nourished his soul with strength, when it
+        concerned the glory of God, the liberty of Holy Church, and the
+        salvation of souls. A man of passionate temperament and of firm
+        purpose, he ruled the Church firmly as it entered into the
+        twentieth century, and adorned it with brilliant teachings. He
+        restored the sacred music to its pristine glory and dignity; he
+        established Rome as the principal centre for the study of the Holy
+        Bible; he ordered the reform of the Roman Curia with great wisdom;
+        he restored the laws concerning the faithful for the instruction of
+        the catechism; he introduced the custom of more frequent and even
+        daily reception of the Holy Eucharist, as well as permitting its
+        reception by children as soon as they reach the age of reason; he
+        zealously promoted the growth of Catholic action; he provided for
+        the sound education of clerics and increased the number of
+        seminaries in their diverse regions; he encouraged every priest in
+        the practice of the interior life; he brought the laws of the
+        Church together into one body; he condemned and suppressed those
+        most pernicious errors known collectively as Modernism; he
+        suppressed the custom of civil veto at the election of a Supreme
+        Pontiff. Finally worn out with his labors and overcome with grief
+        at the European war which had just begun, he went to his heavenly
+        reward on the twentieth day of August in the year 1914. Renowned
+        throughout all the world for the fame of his holiness and miracles,
+        Pope Pius XII, with the approbation of the whole world, numbered
+        him among the Saints.

+        thrice inculcated utterance of Christ, of whom the Apostle
+        complaineth that they seek their own, not the things that are of
+        Christ Jesus. For what else signifieth the words: Lovest thou me?
+        Feed my sheep: than if it were said: If thou lovest me, think not
+        of feeding thyself, but feed my sheep as mine, and not as thine
+        own; seek my glory in them, and not thine own; my dominion, and
+        not thine; my gain, and not thine; lest thou be found in the
+        fellowship of them that belong to the perilous times, lovers of
+        their own selves, and all else that is joined on to this beginning
+        of evils.
+
+
+        With great propriety, therefore, is Peter addressed: Lovest thou
+        me? and found replying: I love thee; and the command applied to
+        him: Feed my lambs, and this a second and a third time. We have it
+        also demonstrated here that love and liking are one and the same
+        thing; for the Lord also in the last question said not: Dost thou
+        like me? but: Dost thou love me? Let us, then, love not ourselves
+        but him; and in feeding his sheep, let us be seeking the things
+        which are his, not the things which are our own. For in some
+        inexplicable way, I know not what, every one that loveth himself,
+        and not God, loveth not himself; and whoever loveth God, and not
+        himself, he it is that loveth himself.

+        This Stephen was the son of Geysa, fourth Duke of the Hungarians.
+        He it was who first gave to Hungary the faith of Christ and the
+        name of a kingdom. He obtained the Kingly crown from the Bishop of
+        Rome, and being by command of the same anointed King, he made an
+        offering of his kingdom to the Apostolic See. With wonderful
+        devotion and bounty he founded diverse godly houses at Rome,
+        Jerusalem, and Constantinople, and in Hungary the Archbishopric of
+        Gran and ten other Sees. Toward the poor he had the same love and
+        bounty. He greeted them as though they were Christ Himself, and
+        never sent any one away sorrowing and empty. He spent vast sums in
+        relieving their poverty, and also often parted among them with
+        exceeding tenderness even the furniture of his house. Moreover it
+        was his use to wash the feet of the poor with his own hands, and to
+        go in the night, alone and unknown, to the hospitals, and to wait
+        on them that lay there, and show them other deeds of kindness. It
+        was the reward of these good works that, when the rest of his body
+        decayed, his right hand remained uncorrupt.
+
+
+        He passed almost whole nights in earnest prayer, and when totally
+        rapt in the thought of heavenly things, he sometimes became beside
+        himself, and was seen to rise off the ground into the air. In more
+        than one instance he strangely escaped through the power of prayer
+        from rebellion, treason, and the onslaughts of mighty foes. He
+        married Gisela of Bavaria, sister to the holy Emperor Henry, and
+        begat on her Emeric, whom he trained up in such manners and
+        godliness, as are shown by his also becoming a Saint. To carry on
+        the business of his kingdom, he gathered together from all quarters
+        the most learned and godly men, and took nothing in hand without
+        their advice. Meanwhile he entreated of God by the most lowly
+        supplications, offered up in sack-cloth and ashes, that, before he
+        departed this life, he might see all Hungary Catholic. On account
+        of his excellent zeal for the spread of the Faith he is called the
+        Apostle of that nation, and the Bishop of Rome gave to him and to
+        his successors the right to have a Cross carried before them.
+
+
+        He had a burning zeal to honour the Mother of God. He built a very
+        great Church in her honour, and made her Patroness of Hungary. In
+        return, the same Virgin received him into heaven, upon the day of
+        her own Assumption, which the Hungarians, by the example of the
+        holy King, call "the Great Lady's Day." His hallowed body yielded
+        the sweetest savour, and reeked with an heavenly liquid, and amid
+        many and diverse wonders it was removed by command of the Bishop of
+        Rome into a more noble place, and more honourably buried. Pope
+        Innocent XI. ordered his Feast to be held upon the 2nd day of
+        September, on account of the famous victory over the Turks which
+        was gained upon this day, when the army of Leopold I., Emperor
+        (elect) of the Romans, and King of Hungary, wrested from them, by
+        the help of God, the city of Buda.

+        Wenceslaus, Duke of Bohemia, was the son of a Christian father,
+        Duke Wratislaus I., and an heathen mother named Drahomira. He had
+        for his grandmother a most holy woman, named Ludmilla, who
+        trained him up in godliness. He was a man eminent in all graces,
+        and one who carefully held his virginity unsullied throughout the
+        whole course of his life. His mother seized the supreme power by
+        the foul murder of Ludmilla, and lived foully with her younger
+        son Boleslaus, and the nobles roused thereby to indignation, and
+        wearied with her tyranny and wicked government, cast off the
+        yoke of both of them, and hailed Wenceslaus in the city of Prague
+        as their King.
+
+
+        He ruled his kingdom by his virtues rather than by force. To the
+        orphaned, the widowed, and the destitute he was very charitable,
+        so that some whiles in the winter he carried firewood to the
+        needy on his own shoulders. He helped oftentimes to bury the
+        poor, he set captives free, and went many times to the prisons
+        at the dead of night to comfort with money and advice them that
+        were detained therein. To a Prince of so tender an heart it was
+        a great grief to be behoven to condemn any to death, however
+        guilty. For Priests he had a most earnest respect, and with his
+        own hands sowed the corn and pressed the grapes for the bread
+        and wine which they were to use for the Sacrifice. He would walk
+        round the Church by night with bare feet upon the snow and ice,
+        leaving behind him bloody footprints that warmed the ground.
+
+
+        As his Body-guard he had angels. For when Radislaus, Prince of
+        Gurinna, invaded Bohemia, and Wenceslaus, to save the effusion
+        of his people's blood, went out to meet him in single combat,
+        angels were seen serving him with arms, and heard to say to the
+        adversary: Strike not. Therefore, his enemy was stricken with
+        terror, fell down in reverence before him, and begged his
+        forgiveness. When he went to Germany, the Emperor saw two angels
+        carrying a golden Cross before him as he drew nigh him, and
+        arose from his throne, embraced him in his arms, created him a
+        King, and gifted him with the arm of the holy Martyr Vitus.
+        Nevertheless, his godless brother, at the exhortation of their
+        mother, bade him to a feast, and when Wenceslaus, with a
+        foreboding of the death prepared for him, went afterwards into
+        the Church, and was praying there, together with some
+        accomplices of his crime, despatched him, running him through
+        the body with a lance. The stains of his blood may still be seen
+        upon the walls. By the judgment of God, his unnatural mother was
+        swallowed up by the earth, and his murderers, in diverse ways,
+        perished miserably.

+        What meaneth such division in the earth, by reason of the Lord's
+        coming? Amongst the foremost commandments of the Law we have
+        received this: Honour thy father and thy mother. And the Lord
+        himself said: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.
+        What meaneth this sword sent upon the earth? Why is father set
+        at variance against son, and daughter against mother, and
+        daughter-in-law against mother-in-law? Why shall a man's foes be
+        they of his own household? From all this it might seem that
+        open sanction is given to the neglect of natural duties—hatred
+        everywhere, warfare everywhere, the sword of the Lord furiously
+        raging between father and son, mother and daughter.
+
+
+        The sharpest weapon of all weapons is the sword, whereby is
+        enforced the law of might, the severity of judgment, the
+        punishment of sinners. Furthermore, the word Sword is in common
+        use amongst the Prophets as a figure of the preaching of the new
+        Gospel. Ye are to understand, then, that the word of God is
+        often called a sword; and that this sword is sent upon the earth
+        when the preaching of God's word entereth into the hearts of
+        men. For then at once cometh grave dissension in the new man's
+        old home, and thus a man's foes are they of his own household.
+        For he is set at variance against them by the word of God,
+        whereby he joyously abideth in newness of spirit both within and
+        without, that is, in soul and body.
+
+
+        The Lord continueth in the same strain of exhortation and
+        discernment. For after bidding us leave whatever we hold
+        dearest in the world, he addeth: He that taketh not up his
+        cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me; because
+        they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the
+        affections and lusts. And hence he is unworthy of Christ who
+        taketh not up his cross, because thereon we suffer, and so
+        thereon we die with the Lord; yea, thereby are we buried with
+        him, and do rise again with him; thereby we follow the Lord to
+        victory, in newness of spirit and in the mystery of faith.

+        familiare collóquium, mentem ipsíus seráphico interius inflammávit
+        ardore; carnem vero Crucifixo conformi exterius insignívit
+        effigie, tamquam si ad ignis liquefactivam virtútem præámbulam

+        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.
