14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St. Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.

Hódie, dilectíssimi, ómnium Sanctórum sub una solemnitátis lætítia celebrámus
|
||||
festivitátem: quorum societáte cælum exsúltat, quorum patrocíniis terra lætátur,
|
||||
triúmphis Ecclésia sancta coronátur, quorum conféssio quanto in passióne fórtior,
|
||||
tanto est clárior in honóre: quia, dum crevit pugna, crevit et pugnántium glória, et
|
||||
martýrii triúmphus multíplici passiónum génere adornátur: perque gravióra torménta,
|
||||
gravióra fuére et prǽmia: dum cathólica mater Ecclésia, quæ per totum orbem longe
|
||||
latéque diffúsa est, in ipso cápite suo Christo Jesu edúcta est, contumélias, cruces
|
||||
et mortem non timére; magis magísque roboráta, non resisténdo, sed perferéndo,
|
||||
univérsis, quos ágmine ínclito carcer pœnális inclúsit, pari et símili calóre
|
||||
virtútis ad geréndum certámen, glóriam triumphálem inspirávit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
O vere beáta mater Ecclésia, quam sic honor divínæ dignatiónis illúminat, quam
|
||||
vincéntium gloriósus Mártyrum sanguis exórnat, quam inviolátæ confessiónis cándida
|
||||
índuit virgínitas! Flóribus ejus nec rosæ nec lília desunt. Certent nunc caríssimi,
|
||||
sínguli, ut ad utrósque honóres amplíssimam accípiant dignitátem, corónas, vel de
|
||||
virginitáte cándidas, vel de passióne purpúreas. In cæléstibus castris pax et ácies
|
||||
habent flores suos, quibus mílites Christi coronántur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Dei enim ineffábilis et imménsa bónitas étiam hoc provídit, ut labórum quidem tempus
|
||||
et agónis non exténderet, nec longum fáceret, aut ætérnum, sed breve, et ut ita dicam,
|
||||
momentáneum: ut in hac brevi et exígua vita agónes essent et labóres; in illa vero
|
||||
quæ ætérna est, corónæ et prǽmia meritórum: ut labóres quidem cito finiréntur,
|
||||
meritórum vero prǽmia sine fine durárent: ut post hujus mundi ténebras visúri essent
|
||||
candidíssimam lucem, et acceptúri majórem passiónum cunctárum acerbitátibus
|
||||
beatitúdinem, testánte hoc idem Apóstolo, ubi ait: Non sunt condígnæ passiónes
|
||||
hujus témporis ad superventúram glóriam, quæ revelábitur in nobis.

|
||||
Dearly beloved brethren: This day we keep, with one great cry of joy, a Feast in memory
|
||||
of all God's holy children; His children, whose presence is a gladness to heaven; His
|
||||
children, whose prayers are a blessing to earth; His children, whose victories are the
|
||||
crown of the Holy Church; His chosen, whose testifying is the more glorious in honour,
|
||||
as the agony in which it was given was the sterner in intensity, for as the dreader
|
||||
grew the battle, so the grander grew the fighters, and the triumph of martyrdom waxed
|
||||
the more incisive by the multiplicity of suffering, and the heavier the torment the
|
||||
heavier the prize. And it is our Mother, the Catholic Church, spread far and wide
|
||||
throughout all this planet, it is she that hath learnt, in Christ Jesus her Head, not to
|
||||
fear shame, nor cross, nor death, but hath waxed lealer and lealer, and, not by
|
||||
fighting, but by enduring, hath breathed into all that noble band who have come up to
|
||||
the bitter starting-post the hope of conquest and glory which hath warmed them manfully
|
||||
to accept the race.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If a verity thou art blessed, O my Mother the Church! The blaze of God's mercy beateth
|
||||
full upon thee; thine adornment is the glorious blood of victorious Martyrs, and thy
|
||||
raiment the virgin whiteness of untarnished orthodoxy; thy garlands lack neither roses
|
||||
nor lilies. And now, dearly beloved brethren, let each one of us strive to gain the
|
||||
goodly crown of one sort or the other, either the glistening whiteness of purity, or
|
||||
the red dye of suffering. In the army in heaven peace and war have both chaplets of
|
||||
their own, to crown Christ's soldiers withal.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, to this also hath the unutterable and boundless goodness of God seen, that
|
||||
He spreadeth not the time of working and wrestling, neither maketh it long, nor
|
||||
everlasting, and, as it were, but for a moment, so that in this short and scanty life
|
||||
there is wrestling and working, but the crown and the prize is in a life which is
|
||||
eternal. So the work is soon over, but the wage is paid for ever. And when the night of
|
||||
this world is over, the Saints are to see the clearness of the essential light, and to
|
||||
receive a blessedness outweighing the pangs of any torment, as testifieth the Apostle
|
||||
Paul, where he saith: The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
|
||||
with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
