# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for the Vigil of St. Matthew (Sep 20) —
|
||||
# pre-1955-but-post-1617. Plain Sancti/09-20.txt is a different feast
|
||||
# (Ss. Eustace and Companions) occupying this date in the general
|
||||
# calendar; the vigil's own content is at the suffixed sibling file (see
|
||||
# memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints's "critical wrinkle").
|
||||
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/09-20o.txt, English/Sancti/09-20o.txt.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Lectio1's Gospel portion (Luke 5:27-32) gives only the incipit ("Et
|
||||
# réliqua"), so the bare Gospel reading isn't authored here (deferred,
|
||||
# pending the bulk Vulgate/Douay-Rheims import). Lectio1's own homily
|
||||
# portion + Lectio2-3 is one continuous excerpt from St. Ambrose's
|
||||
# commentary, combined into a single reading. The English source only
|
||||
# translates Lectio1's homily portion — Lectio2-3's English below is
|
||||
# this project's own translation, not the reference engine's, so the
|
||||
# whole reading is marked draft for English per this project's "prefer
|
||||
# text over missing" policy. No responsory given in the source.

Mystica est hæc vocátio publicani, quem sequi jubet, non corporis gressu, sed mentis
|
||||
afféctu. Itaque ille, prius avara de mercédibus, dura de labóribus periculisque nautárum
|
||||
emoluménta convértens, verbo vocatus, propria derelinquit, qui rapiebat aliena; ac, vile
|
||||
illud sedile destítuens, toto post Dóminum vestigio mentis incedit. Convivii quoque magni
|
||||
éxhibet apparátum; qui enim domicílio Christum récipit interno, maximis delectatiónibus
|
||||
exuberántium páscitur voluptátum.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Itaque Dominus libenter ingreditur, et in ejus qui crediderit, recumbit affectu. Sed rursus
|
||||
accenditur invidia perfidorum, et futuræ pœnæ species præfiguratur. Epulantibus enim
|
||||
fidelibus, et in illo cœlorum recumbentibus regno, perfidia jejuna torquebitur. Simul
|
||||
ostenditur quantum intersit inter æmulos Legis et gratiæ, quod illi qui legem sequuntur,
|
||||
jejunæ mentis famem patiantur æternam: qui vero verbum in interioribus animæ receperunt,
|
||||
alimenti cœlestis et fontis ubertate recreati esurire et sitire non possunt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Et ideo qui animo jejunabant, murmurabant dicentes: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus
|
||||
manducat et bibit? Serpentina vox ista est. Denique hanc primam vocem serpens emisit, dicens
|
||||
Evæ: Quid utique dixit Deus: Nolite manducare ex omni ligno? Ergo patris sui venena
|
||||
diffundunt, qui dicunt: Quid utique cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit? Unde
|
||||
Dominus cum peccatoribus manducando, etiam cum gentilibus non prohibet nos inire convivium,
|
||||
dicens: Non egent qui sani sunt, medico, sed qui male habent.

There is a mystery in this calling of the publican, whom He biddeth to follow Him, not so
|
||||
much by bodily steps as by change of heart. Hitherto Levi had been making greedy gains from
|
||||
merchandise, cruel riches at the cost of sailors' toils and dangers; but now, at the call of
|
||||
a word, he, who had been plundering other men's goods, leaveth his own. He leaveth that base
|
||||
station, and followeth hard after the Lord with all his heart. And Levi made Him a great
|
||||
feast in his own house. He that welcometh Christ into his home, feasteth upon the excellency
|
||||
of all pleasures.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And so the Lord gladly enters in, and reclines in the affection of him who has believed. But
|
||||
again the envy of the faithless is kindled, and the likeness of a punishment to come is
|
||||
prefigured. For while the faithful feast and recline in that kingdom of the heavens,
|
||||
unbelief, famished, will be tormented. At the same time it is shown how great a difference
|
||||
there is between the rivals of the Law and of grace: that those who follow the Law suffer an
|
||||
eternal hunger of a fasting mind, while those who have received the Word in the inward parts
|
||||
of the soul, refreshed by the abundance of heavenly food and of the fountain, cannot hunger
|
||||
or thirst.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And so those who fasted in spirit murmured, saying: Why does he eat and drink with publicans
|
||||
and sinners? This is a serpent's voice. For indeed the serpent uttered this very first word,
|
||||
saying to Eve: Why indeed did God say, Do not eat of every tree? So they who say, Why indeed
|
||||
does he eat and drink with publicans and sinners, spread abroad the poison of their father.
|
||||
Whence the Lord, by eating with sinners, does not forbid us to enter also into feasting with
|
||||
the Gentiles, saying: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are
|
||||
sick.
