Behold, the + restfulness of being seated and the honour of passing judgment are promised. Now our + Lord Himself was unwilling to receive these rewards except by humility and labour. + Wherefore He was condemned to a most shameful death, loaded with torments, filled with + opprobrium. So has He done, together with all who imitate Him in journeying on the + way, in order that the enemy might be confounded. He it is, O wicked creature, He it + is who will be seated on the throne of His Majesty, like to the Most High and equal to + Him. The angels considered this when, at the fall of the evil one, they did not + consent to his apostasy, thereby leaving us an example that as they chose to serve, so + should we. + + + Let those who fly labour and seek honour know that they imitate him who sought for + himself power and majesty; and if the devil's crime does not terrify them, his + punishment should. The saints of God, who indeed will be seated in judgment, have + given us an example of prudence in avoiding these vices. They, I say, in their own + esteem wretched worms of the earth, will sit in judgment. Do you not know, says the + Apostle, that we shall judge even the angels? They indeed who went forth weeping, + sowing their seed, will come with joy carrying their sheaves. They who have sown + labour and humility reap honour and rest. Because for their double confusion and + shame they will receive double in their land. Wherefore also a certain one has said: + Behold my lowliness and sorrow. + + + Not only that life itself, but also the promise of eternal life and the eager + anticipation of it, are a joy for the just, and a joy so great that anything to be + desired cannot be compared with it. This too the holy Apostles sowed for us as + prudence, when, as those who followed the wisdom of this world (which is indeed + foolishness in God's sight) and the prudence of the flesh (which worketh death and is + inimical to God) withdrew from Christ, they themselves clung to our Lord. Manifestly, + the martyrs sowed fortitude; the confessors followed justice throughout their lives. + + + Our heavenly father, guide, master, and lawgiver Benedict, also instructs us in this + doctrine and directs our steps along the way of peace. Moreover, he strengthens and + animates us for a life of justice in such a way that we are so much the more impelled + to practice what he taught as we are certain that he taught not otherwise than he + acted. The example of works is indeed a living and effective sermon, since it makes + what is spoken most persuasive, showing that that which is urged is possible. In this + regard his sanctity comforts us, his piety instructs us, his justice strengthens us. + With what great piety was he not animated who provided not only for his children + present, but was also solicitous for those of the future! He nourishes us by his life, + his teaching, and by his intercession. Being always thus helped, dearly beloved, + become fruitful; since for this were you appointed, that you should go and bring forth + fruit.

He was a disciple of John the Baptist, and heard him say of Christ, Behold the + Lamb of God, whereupon he immediately followed Jesus, bringing his brother also with + him. Some while after, they were both fishing in the Sea of Galilee, and the Lord + Christ, going by, called them both, before any other of the Apostles, in the words, + Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. They made no delay, but left their + nets, and followed Him. After the death and Resurrection of Christ, Andrew was + allotted Scythia as the province of his preaching, and, after labouring there, he + went through Epirus and Thrace, where he turned vast multitudes to Christ by his + teaching and miracles. Finally he went to Patras in Achaia, and there also he + brought many to the knowledge of Gospel truth. Aegeas the Pro-consul resisted the + preaching of the Gospel, and the Apostle freely rebuked him, bidding him know that + while he held himself a judge of his fellow men, he was himself hindered by devils + from knowing Christ our God, the Judge of all. + + + Then Egeas, being angry, answered him, Boast no more of this thy Christ. He spake + words even such as thine, but they availed Him not, and He was crucified by the + Jews. Whereto Andrew boldly answered that Christ had given Himself up to die for + man's salvation; but the Pro-consul blasphemously interrupted him, and bade him look + to himself, and sacrifice to the gods. Then said Andrew, We have an altar, whereon + day by day I offer up to God, the Almighty, the One, and the True, not the flesh of + bulls nor the blood of goats, but a Lamb without spot; and when all they that believe + have eaten of the Flesh Thereof, the Lamb That was slain abideth whole and liveth. + Then Aegeas being filled with wrath, bound the Apostle in prison. Now, the people + would have delivered him, but he himself calmed the multitude, and earnestly + besought them not to take away from him the crown of martyrdom, for which he longed + and which was now drawing near. + + + Come a short while after, he was brought before the judgment-seat, where he + extolled the mystery of the cross, and rebuked Aegeas for his ungodliness. Then + Aegeas could bear with him no longer, but commanded him to be crucified, in + imitation of Christ. Andrew, then, was led to the place of martyrdom, and, as soon + as he came in sight of the cross, he cried out, O precious cross, which the Members + of my Lord have made so goodly, how long have I desired thee! how warmly have I + loved thee! how constantly have I sought thee! And, now that thou art come to me, how + is my soul drawn to thee! Welcome me from among men, and join me again to my Master, + that as by thee He redeemed me, so by thee also He may take me unto Himself. So he + was fastened to the cross, whereon he hung living for two days, during which time he + ceased not to preach the faith of Christ, and, finally, passed into the Presence of + Him the likeness of Whose death he had loved so well.

The wondrous patience wherewith he bore the roughness of the times in + the persecution under Maximian Galerius caused many greatly to increase in Christian + graces. He was the first who cut off Arius, then a Deacon of Alexandria, from the + Communion of the faithful, on account of his leaning to the Meletian schism. He was + condemned to death by Maximian, and was in prison when there came to him the two + Priests Achilles and Alexander to plead for Arius, but Peter told them that Jesus had + appeared to him in the night clad in a rent garment, and when he asked what was + thereby signified, had said unto him: Arius hath torn My vesture, which is the + Church. Also, he foretold to them that they should be Popes of Alexandria after him, + and strictly commanded them never to receive Arius into Communion, because he knew + him to be dead in the sight of God. That this was a true prophecy the event did + shortly prove. At length, in the twelfth year of his papacy, upon the 26th day of + November, his head was cut off, and he went hence to receive the crown of his + testimony. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-pontian.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-pontian.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9074d8f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-pontian.yml @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Pontian, Pope, Martyr (Nov 19, +# sharing the date with St. Odo — no reading authored for that feast, +# it turns out Common-only, see memory vu_matins_sanctim_saints).

When he grew older + his father sent him to Bologna to study the law, but God warned him to give himself to + divinity, and he thereby incurred the wrath of his father, which he bore with + complacency for ten full years. On account of his eminent graces he was elected an + honorary canon of the Cathedral of Osimo, in the which dignity he ministered to the + people by his prayers, his example, and his sermons. + + + At the funeral of a certain nobleman he perceived in an open grave the disfigured + corpse of a kinsman of his own who had been very comely in his lifetime, and he said + to himself, I am what he was, and what he is I shall be. Straightway after the funeral + he read the words of the Lord, If any man will come after Me let him deny himself and + take up his cross and follow Me. Thereupon he withdrew into the desert to seek after + greater perfection, and then gave himself up to watching, praying, and fasting, very + often taking no food but uncooked herbs. In order, however, to cut himself off the + more from men, he moved from one place to another, and at length came to Mount Fano, + which is hard by Fabriano, but was itself then absolutely uninhabited. Then he built a + church in honour of the holy Father Benedict, and founded the congregation of + Silvestrians, with a rule and dress which were revealed to him in a vision by the holy + Patriarch himself. + + + Satan envied him, strove to trouble his monks by diverse terrors, and made an hostile + attack by night upon the gates of his monastery, but the man of God so overcame the + assault of the enemy that his monks were the more confirmed in their Institute and + recognised the holiness of their father. He shone with the spirit of prophecy and + other gifts. These things he always preserved by the deepest lowliness, whereby he so + stirred up against him the ill-will of the devil that that evil spirit cast him + headlong down the stairs of his oratory, and went near to slay him, but he was + restored to soundness by the helpful gift of the Virgin. This help he remembered with + an unceasing and singular love toward her until the last breath of his life, the + which breath he resigned to God, famous for holiness and miracles, aged almost ninety + years, upon the 26th day of November, in the year of salvation 1267. The Supreme + Pontiff Leo XIII extended his Office and Mass to the whole Church. + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
