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.

Blessed, yea, thrice blessed, are they that have them loved God, and, for his love's
|
||||||
|
sake, have counted their suffering as nothing worth. For they wept and here mourned,
|
||||||
|
day and night, that they might gain glory and everlasting comfort: they humbled
|
||||||
|
themselves after willingly, that there they might be exalted: they afflicted the flesh
|
||||||
|
with hunger and thirst and vigil, that there they might come to the pleasures and joys
|
||||||
|
of Paradise.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By their purity of heart they became a tabernacle of the Holy Ghost, as it is
|
||||||
|
written, I will dwell in them and walk in them. They crucified themselves unto the
|
||||||
|
world, that they might stand at the right hand of the Crucified: they girt their loins
|
||||||
|
with truth, and alway had their lamps ready, looking for the coming of the immortal
|
||||||
|
bridegroom. The eye of their mind being enlightened, they continually looked forward
|
||||||
|
to that awful hour, and kept the contemplation of future happiness and everlasting
|
||||||
|
punishment immovable from their hearts, and pained themselves to labour, that they
|
||||||
|
might not lose eternal glory. They became passionless as the Angels, and now they
|
||||||
|
weave the dance in their fellowship, whose lives also they imitated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Blessed, yea, thrice blessed are they, because with sure spiritual vision they
|
||||||
|
discerned the vanity of this present world and the uncertainty and inconstancy of
|
||||||
|
mortal fortune, and cast it aside, and laid up for themselves everlasting blessings,
|
||||||
|
and laid hold of that life which never faileth, nor is broken by death.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These then are the marvellous holy men whose examples we, that are poor and vile,
|
||||||
|
strive to imitate, but cannot attain to the high level of the life of these heavenly
|
||||||
|
citizens. Nevertheless, so far as is possible for our weakness and feeble power, we
|
||||||
|
take this assurance, that this holy profession is a means to perfection and an aid to
|
||||||
|
the incorruption given us by holy baptism.

ipse est, qui sessúrus est in sede majestátis suæ símilis Altíssimo, et coaltíssimus

Qui enim labórem fúgiunt et honórem captant, illum se nóverint imitári, qui

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
sedébunt; ipsi, inquam, vermículi terræ judicántes sedébunt. Nescítis, ait
|

Apóstolus, quia et Angelos judicábimus? Ipsi útique, qui ibant et flebant, mitténtes

seminavérunt labórem et vilitátem, metent honórem páriter et quiétem. Pro

confusiónem enim sua dúplici et labóre, in terra sua duplícia possidébunt. Unde et
|
||||||
|
dicébat quidam: Vide humilitátem meam et labórem meum.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Non solum autem ipsa vita, sed et promíssio vitæ ætérnæ et expectátio justórum,
|
||||||
|
lætítia est, et tanta lætítia, ut omne, quod concupíscitur, ei non váleat
|
||||||
|
comparári. Hanc quoque prudéntiam nobis Apóstoli sancti seminavérunt, quando,

recedéntibus his, qui sapiéntiam hujus mundi sequebántur, quæ stultítia est apud

Deum, et prudéntiam carnis, quæ mortem operátur et inimíca est Deo; ipsi Dómino

sectáti sunt justítiam in omni vita sua.

Hac doctrína nos étiam ínstruit noster cæléstis pater, dux, magíster et légifer

Benedíctus, et dírigit gressus nostros in viam pacis. Porro vitæ justítia omníno

sumus eum non ália docuísse quam fécerit. Sermo quidem vivus et éfficax, exemplum

óperis est, plúrimum fáciens suadíbile quod dícitur, dum monstrat factíbile quod

suadétur. In hunc ergo modum sánctitas confórtat, pietátis infórmat, justítia

confírmat. Quantæ enim pietátis fuit, quod non solum præséntibus prófuit, sed et pro

|
Brethren, you have just heard our Lord making a promise to His disciples, saying to
|
||||||
|
them: You shall sit on seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 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. Let us imitate him, because for this end he came, that he might give us the
|
||||||
|
example and show us the way.

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.

Among the hallowed places which have from of old time been held in honour among
|
||||||
|
Christians, the most famous and sought after were those where the bodies of the
|
||||||
|
Saints were buried, or where there was some trace or token of the Martyrs. Among
|
||||||
|
these spots so hallowed hath been ever among the most noteworthy that place on the
|
||||||
|
Vatican Hill which is called the Confession of St. Peter. Thither Christians do come
|
||||||
|
from all parts of the earth as unto the rock of faith and the foundation-stone of the
|
||||||
|
Church, and surround with godly reverence and love the spot hallowed by the grave of
|
||||||
|
the Prince of the Apostles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whither came the Emperor Constantine the Great upon the eighth day after his Baptism,
|
||||||
|
and, taking off his crown, cast himself down upon the ground, and wept abundantly.
|
||||||
|
Then presently he took a spade and pick-axe, and began to break up the earth,
|
||||||
|
whereof he carried away twelve baskets-full in honour of the twelve Apostles, and
|
||||||
|
built a Church upon that spot, appointed for the Cathedral Church of the Prince of
|
||||||
|
the Apostles. This Church was hallowed by holy Pope Silvester, in like manner as he
|
||||||
|
had hallowed the Church of the Lateran. In this Church did the Pope set up an altar
|
||||||
|
of stone, and pour ointment thereon, and ordain that from thenceforth no altars
|
||||||
|
should be set up, save of stone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The same Emperor Constantine likewise built a very stately Church upon the road to
|
||||||
|
Ostia, in honour of the holy Apostle Paul, which Church also was hallowed by the
|
||||||
|
blessed Sylvester. These Churches the Emperor enriched by grants of much land, and
|
||||||
|
adorned with exceedingly rich gifts. So great was this Emperor's zeal for religion
|
||||||
|
that, having destroyed the temples of idols, he built churches in many places
|
||||||
|
throughout the earth, and especially at Rome, among which were the Basilica of the
|
||||||
|
Holy Cross at Jerusalem in the Sessorian estate, that of St. Lawrence outside the
|
||||||
|
walls in the Verano field, that of Ss. Peter and Marcellinus on the Lavican Way, and
|
||||||
|
very many others.

Si veráciter sapiéntes esse, atque ipsam sapiéntiam contemplári appétimus, stultos

If we would be truly wise, and behold wisdom herself, we must humbly acknowledge
|
||||||
|
ourselves to be fools. Let us cast away harmful wisdom, and learn praiseworthy folly.
|
||||||
|
For this reason indeed is it written: God hath chosen the foolish things of the
|
||||||
|
world, to confound the wise. And again it is said: If any man among you seemeth to be
|
||||||
|
wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. And unto this doth
|
||||||
|
the very Gospel bear witness, wherein it is said that Zacchaeus sought to see Jesus,
|
||||||
|
Who He was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran
|
||||||
|
before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him; for He was to pass that way.
|
||||||
|
For this name Sycamore, being interpreted, signifieth the Foolish Fig.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Little Zacchaeus therefore accepted the humiliation of having recourse to the
|
||||||
|
sycamore and saw the Lord. They who humbly choose to be fools in the estimation of
|
||||||
|
the world, have a deep insight into the wisdom of God. The press standeth in our way,
|
||||||
|
on account of our little stature, when we are fain to see the Lord; for the toilsome
|
||||||
|
din of worldly business tormenteth our weak minds, so as to hinder our perceiving the
|
||||||
|
light of the truth. But we climb up wisely into the sycamore tree, if we willingly
|
||||||
|
give up our minds to that folly which God giveth unto us. What can be more utter
|
||||||
|
folly in this world than not to seek for that we have lost, to leave that whereof we
|
||||||
|
have been robbed in the hands of our despoilers, to take no revenge for wrongs which
|
||||||
|
have been done us, yea, even to offer to him that taketh away our cloak, our coat
|
||||||
|
also, and be patient?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Lord biddeth us, as it were, to climb up into the sycamore, where He saith: Of
|
||||||
|
him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again. And again: Whosoever shall smite
|
||||||
|
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. From the boughs of this sycamore
|
||||||
|
tree, the Lord is seen passing by. He may indeed, as yet, not be seen face to face,
|
||||||
|
but by this wise folly the inward eye may see the Wisdom of God, as it were, passing
|
||||||
|
by, even that Wisdom Which they that are wise in their own conceit cannot see. They
|
||||||
|
are mixed up in the overbearing press of their own imaginations, and have not yet
|
||||||
|
found the sycamore tree whereinto to climb up, if they would see the Lord.

The Apostle Andrew was born at Bethsaida, a town of Galilee, and was the brother of
|
||||||
|
Peter. 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. Under the Emperor Constantine
|
||||||
|
the bones of the Apostle were first taken to Constantinople, whence they were
|
||||||
|
afterwards brought to Amalfi. In the Pontificate of Pope Pius II his head was carried
|
||||||
|
to Rome, where it is kept in the Basilica of St. Peter.

Dearly beloved brethren, ye hear how that Peter and Andrew, having once heard the
|
||||||
|
Lord call them, left their nets, and followed their Saviour. As yet they had seen
|
||||||
|
none of His miracles, as yet they had received no promise of their exceeding and
|
||||||
|
eternal reward; nevertheless, at one word of the Lord they forgot all those things
|
||||||
|
which they seemed to have. We have seen many of His miracles; we have received many
|
||||||
|
of His gracious chastenings; many times hath He warned us of the wrath to come; and
|
||||||
|
yet Christ calleth and we do not follow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
He who calleth us to be converted is now enthroned in heaven; He hath broken the
|
||||||
|
necks of the Gentiles to the yoke of the faith, He hath laid low the glory of the
|
||||||
|
world, and the wrecks thereof, falling ever more and more to decay, do preach unto us
|
||||||
|
that the coming of that day when He is to be revealed as our Judge is drawing nigh;
|
||||||
|
and yet, so stubborn is our mind, that we will not yet freely abandon that which,
|
||||||
|
will we, nill we, we lose day by day. Dearly beloved brethren, what shall we answer
|
||||||
|
at His judgment-seat, we whom no lessons can persuade, and no stripes can break of
|
||||||
|
the love of this present world?

Cæcília, Virgo Romana, nobili genere nata, a prima ætate christianæ fidei præceptis
|
||||||

instituta, virginitátem suam Deo vovit. Sed, cum póstea, contra suam voluntátem,
|

Cecilia was a Roman maiden of noble birth, trained up from her earliest years in the
|
||||||
|
teaching of the Christian faith, and who by vow consecrated her virginity to God. She
|
||||||
|
was afterwards given in marriage, against her will, to Valerian. On the first night
|
||||||
|
she said to him: Valerian! I am under the wardship of an Angel, who keepeth me always
|
||||||
|
a maiden. Therefore do nothing unto me, lest the anger of God should be aroused
|
||||||
|
against thee. Valerian was moved at her words, and dared not to touch her. Also he
|
||||||
|
added even this, that he would believe in Christ, if he could see the Angel. Cecilia
|
||||||
|
answered him that that could not be unless he were first baptized, and for the sake
|
||||||
|
of seeing the Angel he was willing. So she bade him go unto Pope Urban, who was hiding
|
||||||
|
in the sepulchre of the Martyrs on the Appian Way on account of the persecution. And
|
||||||
|
he went unto him and was baptized.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whence he came back to Cecilia, and found her praying, and the Angel with her,
|
||||||
|
shining from the glory of God. As soon as he had recovered from the shock of wonder
|
||||||
|
and fear, he brought his brother Tiburtius, and Cecilia taught him Christ, and he was
|
||||||
|
baptized by the same Pope Urban, and he also was vouchsafed to see the Angel whom his
|
||||||
|
brother had seen. A little while after, both of them bravely suffered martyrdom under
|
||||||
|
the Praefect Almachius, who then caused Cecilia to be taken, and asked of her, first
|
||||||
|
of all, where was the property of Tiburtius and Valerian?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To him the Virgin answered that all their goods had been given to the poor.
|
||||||
|
Thereupon he was filled with fury, and commanded her to be taken home, and burnt in
|
||||||
|
the bath. She was in that place a day and a night, but the fire had not harmed her.
|
||||||
|
Then was sent the executioner, who gave her three strokes of the axe, and, as he
|
||||||
|
could not cut off her head, left her half-dead. Three days thereafter, in the reign
|
||||||
|
of the Emperor Alexander Severus, she winged her flight for heaven, glorified with
|
||||||
|
the two palms of virginity and martyrdom. Her body was buried in the cemetery of
|
||||||
|
Callistus by the aforenamed Pope Urban, who also consecrated a Church in her name in
|
||||||
|
her own house. Her relics were brought into the city by Pope Paschal I, along with
|
||||||
|
those of Tiburtius, Valerian, and Maximus, and all laid together in the said Church
|
||||||
|
of St Cecilia.

Chrysogonus was imprisoned at Rome in the reign of the Emperor Diocletian. There he
|
||||||
|
lived for the space of two years upon the alms of the holy Anastasia. She was
|
||||||
|
suffering much persecution from her husband Publius for Christ's Name's sake, and was
|
||||||
|
used to write to Chrysogonus to ask for the help of his prayers, and he in return
|
||||||
|
comforted her by his epistles. Presently the Emperor wrote to Rome commanding the
|
||||||
|
rest of the Christians who were in prison there to be put to death, and Chrysogonus to
|
||||||
|
be sent to himself at Aquileia. When he was brought thither, he said unto him: I have
|
||||||
|
sent for thee, O Chrysogonus, that I may increase thine honours, if only thou wilt
|
||||||
|
bring thy mind to worship the gods. Thereto Chrysogonus answered: With my mind and
|
||||||
|
with my prayers I worship Him Who is God indeed, but such gods as are nothing but
|
||||||
|
images of devils, them I hate and curse. Then was the Emperor kindled to fury at this
|
||||||
|
answer, and commanded Chrysogonus to be beheaded at Aquae Gradatae upon the 24th day
|
||||||
|
of November. His body was cast into the sea, but found a little while afterwards
|
||||||
|
washed up upon the shore, and the Priest Zoilus took it and buried it in his own
|

house.

Clement, the son of Faustinus, was a Roman, from the quarter of the Coelian Mount. He
|
||||||
|
was a disciple of the blessed Peter, and is the same concerning whom Paul saith,
|
||||||
|
writing to the Philippians: And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those
|
||||||
|
women which laboured with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and with other my
|
||||||
|
fellow-labourers, whose names are written in the book of life. He it was who divided
|
||||||
|
the seven quarters of the city among seven scribes, one to each, whose duty it was to
|
||||||
|
search out most carefully, and record in writing the sufferings and acts of the
|
||||||
|
Martyrs. He himself also wrote much, and that most orthodox and healthy, whereby he
|
||||||
|
clearly explained the Christian Religion.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
His teaching and the holiness of his life brought many to believe in Christ, and he
|
||||||
|
was therefore exiled by the Emperor Trajan to Kherson, in the Crimea, where he found
|
||||||
|
two thousand Christians, who had been condemned by the same Trajan. There they all
|
||||||
|
worked in the marble quarries. During their labour they suffered for want of water,
|
||||||
|
and Clement prayed, and then went up an hill hard by, on the top whereof he saw a
|
||||||
|
Lamb standing, touching with its right foot a flowing spring of sweet waters.
|
||||||
|
Therewith they all quenched their thirst, and by this miracle many unbelievers were
|
||||||
|
brought to believe in Christ, and began to honour the holiness of Clement.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These things moved Trajan to send a messenger to the Crimea, who tied an anchor
|
||||||
|
about Clement's neck, and cast him into the deep of the sea. After it had been done,
|
||||||
|
while the Christians were praying on the shore, the sea went back three miles, and
|
||||||
|
when they followed it, they found a grotto of marble, in form like a temple, and
|
||||||
|
therein a stone coffin wherein was laid the body of the Martyr. A Church was also
|
||||||
|
built in the place where God had made the water to break forth. Clement lived as
|
||||||
|
Pope nine years, six months, and six days. He held two Ordinations in the month of
|
||||||
|
December, wherein he made ten Priests, two Deacons, and fifteen Bishops for diverse
|
||||||
|
places.

Martinus, Tuderti in Umbria natus, inítio pontificatus, et litteris et legatiónibus
|
||||||
|
missis operam dedit, ut Paulum Constantinopolitanum patriarcham a nefaria hæresi ad

Martin was born at Todi in Tuscany. At the beginning of his Popedom, he was careful to
|
||||||
|
send an embassage with letters to Paul, Patriarch of Constantinople, to call upon him
|
||||||
|
to return to the truth of the Catholic faith from the blasphemous heresy of the
|
||||||
|
Monothelites. But Paul, being backed up by the heretic Emperor Constans, had become so
|
||||||
|
rabid, that he sent away the messengers of the Apostolic See into diverse places in
|
||||||
|
the islands. This crime moved the Pope to gather together at Rome a council of
|
||||||
|
one-hundred-and-five Bishops, by whom Paul was condemned.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Thereupon Constans sent Olympius into Italy as Exarch, straitly commanding him either
|
||||||
|
to slay Pope Martin, or else to bring him into his Imperial presence. Olympius
|
||||||
|
therefore came to Rome and bade a lictor to kill the Pope while as he was celebrating
|
||||||
|
the Liturgy solemnly in the Cathedral Church of St Mary-at-the-Manger. But when the
|
||||||
|
lictor went thither, he was struck with blindness.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From that time forth many evils befell the Emperor Constans; but he repented not. He
|
||||||
|
sent the Exarch Theodore Calliopas to Rome, with command to lay hands on the Pope. By
|
||||||
|
him Martin was treacherously taken, brought to Constantinople, and sent to the Crimea.
|
||||||
|
There his sufferings for the Catholic faith utterly broke him down, and he left this
|
||||||
|
life for a better, famous for miracles. His body was afterwards brought back to Rome
|
||||||
|
and buried in the Church dedicated under the names of St. Silvester and St. Martin (of
|
||||||
|
Tours.) He ruled the Church for six years, one month, and twenty-six days. He held two
|
||||||
|
ordinations in the month of December, wherein he made eleven Priests, five Deacons,
|
||||||
|
and thirty-three Bishops for diverse places.

Cum, sicut evangelica lectióne reserátum est, interrogasset Dóminus discipulos, quem
|
||||||
|
ipsum (multis diversa opinántibus) crederent; respondissétque beátus Petrus, dicens:
|
||||||
|
Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi; Dóminus ait: Beátus es, Simon Bar-Jona, quia caro et
|
||||||
|
sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cælis est: et ego dico tibi, quia
|
||||||
|
tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non
|
||||||
|
prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cælórum: et quodcúmque ligáveris
|
||||||
|
super terram, erit ligátum et in cælis: et quodcúmque solveris super terram, erit
|
||||||
|
solutum et in cælis. Manet ergo disposítio veritátis, et beátus Petrus, in accepta
|
||||||
|
fortitúdine petræ persevérans, suscepta Ecclésiæ gubernácula non relíquit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In univérsa namque Ecclésia, Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi, quotídie Petrus dicit;
|
||||||
|
et omnis lingua, quæ confitétur Dóminum, magisterio hujus vocis imbuitur. Hæc fides
|
||||||
|
diabolum vincit et captivórum ejus víncula dissolvit. Hæc érutos mundo, ínserit
|
||||||
|
cælo, et portæ ínferi advérsus eam prævalere non possunt. Tanta enim divinitus
|
||||||
|
soliditate muníta est, ut eam neque hæretica umquam corrumpere pravitas, nec pagána
|
||||||
|
potúerit superare perfidia. His ítaque modis, dilectíssimi, rationábile obsequio
|
||||||
|
celebrétur hodiérna festívitas: ut in persona humilitátis meæ ille intelligátur, ille
|
||||||
|
honorétur, in quo et ómnium pastórum sollicitudo, cum commendatárum sibi óvium
|
||||||
|
custódia persevérat, et cujus étiam dignitas in indigno heréde non déficit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cum ergo cohortatiónes nostras áuribus vestræ sanctitátis adhibemus, ipsum vobis,
|
||||||
|
cujus vice fungimur, loqui crédite: quia et illíus vos afféctu monémus, et non aliud

When the Lord, as we read in the Evangelist, asked His disciples: Who did men, amid
|
||||||
|
their diverse speculations, believe that He, the Son of Man, was; blessed Peter
|
||||||
|
answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered
|
||||||
|
and said unto him: Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
|
||||||
|
revealed it unto thee, but My Father, Which is in heaven: and I say also unto thee,
|
||||||
|
that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell
|
||||||
|
shall not prevail against it; and I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
|
||||||
|
heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and
|
||||||
|
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Thus therefore
|
||||||
|
standeth the ordinance of the Truth, and blessed Peter, abiding still that firm rock
|
||||||
|
which God hath made him, hath never lost that right to rule in the Church which God
|
||||||
|
hath given unto him.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the universal Church it is Peter that doth still say every day, Thou art the
|
||||||
|
Christ, the Son of the living God, and every tongue which confesseth that Jesus is
|
||||||
|
Lord is taught that confession by the teaching of Peter. This is the faith that
|
||||||
|
overcometh the devil and looseth the bands of his prisoners. This is the faith which
|
||||||
|
maketh men free of the world and bringeth them to heaven, and the gates of hell are
|
||||||
|
impotent to prevail against it. With such ramparts of salvation hath God fortified
|
||||||
|
this rock, that the contagion of heresy will never be able to infect it, nor idolatry
|
||||||
|
and unbelief to overcome it. This teaching it is, my dearly beloved brethren, which
|
||||||
|
maketh the keeping of this Feast to-day to be our reasonable service, even the
|
||||||
|
teaching which maketh you to know and honour in myself, lowly though I be, that Peter
|
||||||
|
who is still entrusted with the care of all other shepherds and of all the flocks to
|
||||||
|
them committed, and whose authority I have, albeit unworthy to be his heir.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When therefore, we address our exhortations to your godly ears, believe ye that ye are
|
||||||
|
hearing him speak whose office we are discharging. Yea, it is with his love for you
|
||||||
|
that we warn you, and we preach unto you no other thing than that which he taught,
|
||||||
|
entreating you that ye would gird up the loins of your mind and lead pure and sober
|
||||||
|
lives in the fear of God. My disciples dearly beloved, ye are to me, as the disciples
|
||||||
|
of the Apostle Paul were to him, a crown and a joy, if your faith, which, in the first
|
||||||
|
times of the Gospel, was spoken of throughout the whole world, abide still lovely and
|
||||||
|
holy. For, albeit it behoveth the whole Church which is spread throughout all the
|
||||||
|
world, to be strong in righteousness, you it chiefly becometh above all other peoples
|
||||||
|
to excel in worth and godliness, whose house is built upon the very crown of the Rock
|
||||||
|
of the Apostle, and whom not only hath our Lord Jesus Christ, as He hath redeemed all
|
||||||
|
men, but whom also His blessed Apostle Peter hath made the foremost object of his
|
||||||
|
teaching.

Martin was born at Sabaria in Pannonia. When he was ten years old he went to the
|
||||||
|
Church, in the spite of his heathen father and mother, and by his own will was
|
||||||
|
numbered among the Catechumens. At fifteen years of age he joined the army, and
|
||||||
|
served as a soldier first under Constantius and then under Julian. Once at the gate of
|
||||||
|
Amiens a poor man asked him for an alms for Christ's name's sake, and since he had
|
||||||
|
nothing to his hand but his arms and his clothes, he gave him half of his cloak. In the
|
||||||
|
night following Christ appeared to him clad in the half of his cloak, and saying (to
|
||||||
|
the angels who bare Him company): While Martin is yet a Catechumen, he hath clad Me in
|
||||||
|
this garment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At eighteen years of age he was baptized. He gave up thereupon the life of a soldier,
|
||||||
|
and betook himself to Hilary, Bishop of Poietiers, by whom he was placed in the order of
|
||||||
|
Acolytes. Being afterwards made Bishop of Tours, he built a monastery wherein he lived
|
||||||
|
in holiness for a while in company of four-score monks. At the last he fell sick of a
|
||||||
|
grievous fever at Cande, a village in his diocese, and besought God in constant prayer
|
||||||
|
to set him free from the prison of this dying body. His disciples heard him and said:
|
||||||
|
Father, why wilt thou go away from us? unto whom wilt thou bequeath us in our sorrow?
|
||||||
|
Their words moved Martin, and he said: Lord, if I be still needful to thy people, I
|
||||||
|
refuse not to work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When his disciples saw him, in the height of the fever, lying upon his back and
|
||||||
|
praying, they entreated him to turn over and take a little rest upon his side while
|
||||||
|
the violence of his sickness would allow him. But Martin answered them: Suffer me to
|
||||||
|
look heavenward rather than earthward, that my spirit may see the way whereby it is so
|
||||||
|
soon going to the Lord. At the moment of death he saw the enemy of mankind, and cried
|
||||||
|
out: What are you come here for, you bloody brute? You murderer, you'll find nothing in
|
||||||
|
me. With these words on his lips, he gave up his soul to God, being aged eighty years.
|
||||||
|
He was received by a company of Angels, who were heard praising God by many persons,
|
||||||
|
especially by holy Severinus, Bishop of Cologne.

||||||
|
word of God. The word of God is light. Faith is the candle. It is written concerning
|
||||||
|
the Word of God, that That was the true Light, Which lighteth every man that cometh
|
||||||
|
into this world. But a candle cannot shine, unless it be lighted from some other fire.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also it is written: What woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,
|
||||||
|
doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
|
||||||
|
And here the candle lighted to find the lost piece is the strength in our
|
||||||
|
understandings and affections. Let no man therefore seek faith under the law. For the
|
||||||
|
law is by measure, but grace without measure; the law overshadoweth, but grace
|
||||||
|
enlighteneth. And therefore let no man shut up his faith within the measure of the
|
||||||
|
law, but give it unto the Church, wherein shineth the sevenfold grace of the Spirit,
|
||||||
|
and whereon the Divine glory of the Great High Priest doth strike from heaven, lest the
|
||||||
|
shadow of the law should rest any more at all upon her. Under the old law there was
|
||||||
|
the sevenfold lamp which the Priest of the Jews lighted every morning and every
|
||||||
|
evening, and this was as it were a candle put under a bushel. That Jerusalem which is
|
||||||
|
upon earth, that Jerusalem which killed the Prophets, lieth hid, as it were, in a dark
|
||||||
|
place in the valley of tears. But that Jerusalem which is in heaven, whereof by faith
|
||||||
|
we are soldiers, is a city set upon the highest of all mountains, even upon Christ.
|
||||||
|
Her the darkness and tempests of earth cannot hide, but she blazeth with the glory of
|
||||||
|
the Eternal Sun, and maketh to fall upon us the light of spiritual grace.

Mennas was a Christian Egyptian soldier who had withdrawn himself into a desert place
|
||||||
|
to do penance, but one day, during the persecution under the Emperors Diocletian and
|
||||||
|
Maximian, upon the said Emperors' birthday, when the people were gathered together at
|
||||||
|
a great show, stood forth in the theatre, and reviled with a loud voice the idolatries
|
||||||
|
of the Gentiles. Thereupon he was arrested, and being bound at Cotyasus, the chief city
|
||||||
|
of Phrygia, under the authority of the President Pyrrhus, was first savagely lashed
|
||||||
|
with thongs, then racked, then scarified with fire applied to his naked body, then had
|
||||||
|
his wounds lacerated by rubbing with hair-cloth, then dragged through thorns and iron
|
||||||
|
spikes with hands and feet tied, then lashed again with whips loaded with lead, and
|
||||||
|
lastly slain with the sword, and thrown into a fire. The Christians saved his body
|
||||||
|
thence and buried it, and it hath in after times been carried to Constantinople.

This Peter succeeded that eminent Saint, Theonas, as Pope of Alexandria, and the
|
||||||
|
glory of his holiness and teaching hath enlightened not Egypt only, but the whole
|
||||||
|
Church of God. 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.

This Silvester was born of a noble family at Osimo, in Picenum, and in his childhood
|
||||||
|
was a wonderful example both in regard to letters and good living. 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.
