Adest nobis, dilectíssimi, optátus dies beátæ ac venerábilis semper Vírginis Maríæ;

|

Heva enim luxit, ista exsultávit: Heva lácrimas, María gáudium in ventre portávit;

quia illa peccatórem, ista édidit innocéntem. Mater géneris nostri pœnam íntulit mundo,

María. Heva occidéndo óbfuit, María vivificándo prófuit. Illa percússit, ista sanávit.

Dearly beloved brethren, the day for which we have longed, the Feast-day of the Blessed
|
||||
and Worshipful and Ever-Virgin Mary, that day is come. Let our land laugh and sing with
|
||||
merriment, bathed in the glory of this great Virgin's rising. She is the flower of the
|
||||
fields on which the priceless lily of the valleys hath blossomed. This is she whose
|
||||
delivery changed the nature that we draw from our first parents, and cleansed away their
|
||||
offence. At her that dolorous sentence which was pronounced over Eve ended its course; to
|
||||
her it was never said: In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children. She brought forth a
|
||||
Child, even the Lord, but she brought Him forth, not in sorrow, but in joy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Eve wept, but Mary laughed. Eve's womb was big with tears, but Mary's womb was big with
|
||||
gladness. Eve gave birth to a sinner, but Mary gave birth to the sinless One. The mother
|
||||
of our race brought punishment into the world, but the Mother of our Lord brought
|
||||
salvation into the world. Eve was the foundress of sin, but Mary was the foundress of
|
||||
righteousness. Eve welcomed death, but Mary helped in life. Eve smote, but Mary healed.
|
||||
For Eve's disobedience, Mary offered obedience, and for Eve's unbelief, Mary offered
|
||||
faith.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Let Mary now make a loud noise upon the organ, and between its quick notes let the
|
||||
rattling of the Mother's timbrel be heard. Let the gladsome choirs sing with her, and
|
||||
their sweet hymns mingle with the changing music. Hearken to what a song her timbrel
|
||||
will make accompaniment. She saith: My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath
|
||||
rejoiced in God my Saviour. For He hath regarded the lowliness of His hand-maiden, for,
|
||||
behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; for He That is Mighty
|
||||
hath done to me great things. The new miracle of Mary's delivery hath effaced the curse
|
||||
of the frail backslider, and the singing of Mary hath silenced the wailing of Eve.

Cosmas and Damian, who were eminent physicians in the time of the Emperors Diocletian
|
||||
and Maximian, were brothers, and Arabs by race, but born in the city of Aegae. Not more
|
||||
by their knowledge of medicine than by the power of Christ they healed diseases which
|
||||
had been hopeless for others. When the Praefect Lysias learnt to what faith they
|
||||
belonged, he commanded them to be brought before him, and questioned them as to their
|
||||
way of life, and the confession of their religion; and then, forasmuch as they freely
|
||||
owned themselves Christians and the Christian faith needful to salvation, he commanded
|
||||
them to worship the gods, under threats of torments and a most cruel death.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He bond their hands and feet together, and put them to the sharpest of the question.
|
||||
And he was obeyed, but nevertheless Cosmas and Damian abode still of the same mind.
|
||||
Therefore they were cast into the depth of the sea, bound as they were, but they came
|
||||
forth again, whole and unbound. The Praefect, therefore, who would have it that it came
|
||||
to pass so by force of art magic, cast them into prison. On the morrow he haled them
|
||||
forth again, and bade cast them upon a great fire, but the flame turned away from them.
|
||||
He was pleased then to have them tormented in diverse and cruel sorts, and lastly,
|
||||
smitten with the axe. Thus did they bear witness for Christ Jesus even until they
|
||||
grasped the palm of their testimony.

When the Emperor Maximian led his army into Gaul, he stopped at the frontiers of the
|
||||
Seduni to offer a sacrifice. The Theban legion, that they might not be defiled by any
|
||||
share in the unhallowed rites, withdrew themselves from the rest of his army. Therefore
|
||||
the Emperor sent soldiers unto them to bid them in his name, if they valued their lives,
|
||||
come back into the camp to the sacrifice. They answered that the Christian religion did
|
||||
not allow them. This answer enkindled in him greater wrath than before. He therefore
|
||||
despatched a part of his army to the Thebans, with orders to begin by killing one man in
|
||||
every ten of them. By their own will, and at the urgent exhortation of Maurice, they
|
||||
chose rather to endure this martyrdom than to do the commandment of the unrighteous
|
||||
Emperor. At the last, the Emperor, upon the 22nd day of September, bade his whole army
|
||||
fall upon them and slay them all. They confessed Christ bravely even to the end.

Adrian was a man who was employed by the Emperor Maximian to persecute the Christians
|
||||
of Nicomedia. The firmness with which they owned their faith and endured their torments
|
||||
oftentimes excited his wonder, and at last so powerfully moved him that he himself
|
||||
turned to Christ. For this he was thrown into prison along with three-and-twenty other
|
||||
Christians. There he was visited by Natalia his wife, who also herself already had
|
||||
believed in Christ, and by her urged on to lift up his testimony. When he was brought
|
||||
out of prison he was lashed until his bowels fell out. His shins were then broken, and
|
||||
his hands and feet cut off, whereafter, in company with many others, he brought to an
|

happy end the conflict of martyrdom.

Jerome was the son of one Eusebius, and was born at Sorigni, in Dalmatia, in the reign
|
||||
of the Emperor Constantius. He was baptised at Rome when a lad, and studied there,
|
||||
under the instruction of Donatus and other very learned personages. He travelled in
|
||||
Gaul for the sake of improving his mind, and there sought the friendship of diverse
|
||||
godly men learned in the Scriptures, and made with his own hand many copies of the holy
|
||||
books. He afterwards betook himself to Greece, where he attained eminence as a
|
||||
philosopher and orator, in the following of the most famous theologians. At
|
||||
Constantinople, in especial, he sat at the feet of Gregory of Nazianzus, from whom he
|
||||
professeth himself to have learnt his theology. Then, for godliness' sake, he went to
|
||||
see the home of the Lord Christ, and so throughout all Palestine. He witnesseth that
|
||||
this pilgrimage, wherein he got the help of the most learned of the Jews for the
|
||||
understanding of the Holy Scriptures, did him much good.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He withdrew himself into the wild deserts of Syria, where he passed four years in
|
||||
studying the Holy Scriptures and in considering the blessedness of heaven, afflicting
|
||||
his body by alway denying himself, by bitter tears, and by chastisement of the flesh. He
|
||||
was ordained Priest by Paulinus, Patriarch of Antioch. He went to Rome on account of the
|
||||
quarrelling of certain Bishops with Paulinus and Epiphanius, and there helped Pope
|
||||
Damasus in the writing of his letters upon Church affairs. But the longing for his old
|
||||
solitude came upon him, and he went back to Palestine, where, in the monastery at
|
||||
Bethlehem, built beside the cradle of the Lord Christ by the Lady Paula of Rome, he set
|
||||
himself to enter on earth upon the life of heaven, serving God in reading and writing
|
||||
without ceasing, regardless of the sufferings of a body tormented by diverse diseases
|
||||
and pains.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hard questions upon the interpretation of the Holy Scripture were sent to him from all
|
||||
parts of the earth, as to an oracle. He was oftentimes consulted by Pope Damasus and by
|
||||
the holy Augustine upon the meaning of the most obscure passages of the Scripture,
|
||||
because of his extraordinary learning, and that he knew not the Latin and Greek tongues

only, but also the Hebrew and Chaldee, and, as the same Augustine testifieth, had read

nearly all writers. He attacked heretics with keen publications, and ever undertook the

defence of the godly and Catholic. He translated the Old Testament from Hebrew into
|
||||
Latin, and, at the command of Damasus, reformed, according to the original Greek, the
|
||||
existing version of the New. Upon great part of the Scriptures he wrote commentaries.
|
||||
He translated likewise into Latin the works of many learned men, and himself
|
||||
contributed to the Christian life many monuments of his own wit. He lived to an
|
||||
extreme old age, and passed away to heaven, famous for learning and holiness, in the
|
||||
reign of the Emperor Honorius. His body was buried at Bethlehem, but hath since been
|
||||
brought to Rome, where it lieth in the Church of St. Mary-at-the-Manger.

Linus Pontifex, Volaterris in Etruria natus, primus post Petrum gubernávit Ecclésiam.
|
||||
Cujus tanta fides et sanctitas fuit, ut non solum dæmones ejiceret, sed étiam mórtuos
|
||||
revocaret ad vitam. Scripsit res gestas beáti Petri, et ea maxime quæ ab illo acta sunt
|
||||
contra Simónem magum. Sancívit ne qua mulier, nisi velato cápite, in ecclésiam
|

Pope Linus was by birth a native of Velletri in Tuscany, and was the first after Peter
|
||||
who governed the Church. His faith and holiness were such that he not only cast out
|
||||
devils, but also raised the dead. He wrote the acts of Blessed Peter, and especially the
|
||||
history of his strife with Simon Magus. He forbade women to enter the Church without
|
||||
having a veil upon their heads. His own head was cut off, on account of his firmness in
|
||||
confessing Christ, by command of the godless Consular Saturninus, an unthankful wretch
|
||||
whose own daughter he had delivered from being tormented by a devil. He was buried upon
|
||||
the Vatican Mount, hard by the grave of the Prince of the Apostles, upon the 23rd day of
|
||||
September. He sat as Pope eleven years, two months, and twenty-three days. He held two
|
||||
December ordinations, wherein he made fifteen Bishops, and eighteen Priests.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
|
||||
These are rightly the words of a martyr, who beareth unjustly the torments of the
|
||||
persecutors, who hath robbed no man, who hath violently oppressed no man, who hath shed
|
||||
the blood of no man, who hath imagined to defile the bed of no man, who is debtor to the
|
||||
laws in nothing, and who is punished more grievously than if he were a robber; who
|
||||
speaketh righteousness, and there is none that will hear; who speaketh salvation, and
|
||||
all men fight against him; who is able to say: When I spoke unto them, they fought
|
||||
against me without a cause. They fight against him without a cause, who can lay no sin
|
||||
to his charge; they fight against him as an evildoer, who is by their own acknowledgement
|
||||
righteous; they fight against him as a warlock, who glorieth in the name of the Lord, and
|
||||
who doeth all things well because he doeth all things for God's sake.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
They fight against him in vain who is accused of ungodliness among the ungodly and the
|
||||
unfaithful, because he teacheth Faith. Verily, him that is fought against without a cause
|
||||
it behoveth to be strong and patient. Wherefore then saith he: My heart standeth in awe
|
||||
of thy word? Awe is the mark of the weak, the timid, and the fearful. But there is also
|
||||
a weakness unto salvation, there is a fear which is an holy fear. O fear the Lord, all
|
||||
ye His Saints. And again: Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord. And wherefore is he
|
||||
blessed? Because he delighteth greatly in His commandments.

It came to pass one day at Capernaum, that Christ went forth, and saw a publican, named
|
||||
Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom; and He said unto him: Follow Me. And he left
|
||||
all, rose up, and followed Him. And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house. This
|
||||
Levi is the Apostle and Evangelist Matthew. After that Christ was risen again from the
|
||||
dead, and while he was yet in Judea, before he set forth for that land which had fallen
|
||||
to the lot of his preaching, he wrote the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Hebrew tongue,
|
||||
for the sake of them of the circumcision who had believed. His was the first written of
|
||||
the four Gospels. Thereafter he went to Ethiopia, and there preached the Gospel,
|
||||
confirming his preaching with many miracles.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Of his miracles, the most notable was that he raised the King's daughter from the dead,
|
||||
and thereby brought to believe in Christ the King her father, his wife, and all that
|
||||
region. After that the King was dead, Hirtacus, who came after him, was fain to take his
|
||||
daughter Iphigenia to wife, but by the exhortation of Matthew she had made vow of her
|
||||
maidenhood to God, and stood firm to that holy resolution, for which cause Hirtacus
|
||||
commanded to slay the Apostle at the Altar while he was performing the mystery. He
|
||||
crowned the dignity of the Apostleship with the glory of martyrdom upon the 21st day of
|
||||
September. His body had been brought to Salerno, where it was afterwards buried in a
|
||||
Church dedicated in his name during the papacy of Gregory VII, and there it is held in
|
||||
great worship and sought to by great gatherings of people.

The other Evangelists, out of tenderness towards the reputation and honour of Matthew,

have abstained from speaking of him as a publican by his ordinary name, and have called

Novem Angelórum órdines dícimus, quia vidélicet esse, testánte sacro elóquio, scimus:

dicens: Supra omnem Principátum, et Potestátem, et Virtútem, et Dominatiónem. Qui

rursus ad Colossénses scribens, ait: Sive Throni, sive Potestátes, sive Principátus,

quinque sunt órdines; quibus dum Angeli et Archángeli, Chérubim atque Séraphim adjúncta

Sciéndum vero quod Angelórum vocábulum nomen est offícii, non natúræ. Nam sancti illi

cæléstis pátriæ Spíritus, semper quidem sunt Spíritus, sed semper vocári Angeli
|

nequáquam possunt; quia tunc solum sunt Angeli, cum per eos áliqua nuntiántur. Unde et

per Psalmístam dícitur: Qui facit Angelos suos spíritus; ac si paténter dicat: Qui eos,
|
||||
quos semper habet Spíritus, étiam, cum volúerit, Angelos facit. Hi autem qui mínima
|
||||
núntiant, Angeli; qui vero summa annúntiant, Archángeli vocántur. Hinc est enim quod

ad Maríam Vírginem non quílibet Angelus, sed Gábriel Archángelus míttitur. Ad hoc
|
||||
quippe ministérium, summum Angelum veníre dignum fúerat, qui summum ómnium

Et quóties miræ virtútis áliquid ágitur, Míchaël mitti perhibétur; ut ex ipso actu et

|
||||
illum quippe nuntiáre veniébat, qui ad debellándas aéreas potestátes húmilis

|
||||
We say that there are nine Orders of Angels, for, by the witness of the holy Word, we
|
||||
know that there be Angels, Archangels, Mights, Powers, Principalities, Dominions,
|
||||
Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim. Nearly every page of the holy Word witnesseth that
|
||||
there be Angels and Archangels. The books of the Prophets, as is well known, do
|
||||
oftentimes make mention of Cherubim and Seraphim. Paul, writing to the Ephesians,
|
||||
counteth up the names of four Orders, where he saith: The Father of glory raised Christ
|
||||
from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all
|
||||
Principality, and Power, and Might, and Dominion. And the same, again, writing to the
|
||||
Colossians, saith: By the Son were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are
|
||||
in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be Thrones, or Dominions, or
|
||||
Principalities, or Powers. If, then, we add the Thrones to the four Orders of which he
|
||||
spake unto the Ephesians, we have five Orders; and when we add unto them the Angels and
|
||||
the Archangels, the Cherubim and the Seraphim, we find that the Orders of Angels are
|
||||
beyond all doubt nine.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But we must know that the word Angel is the designation, not of a nature, but of an
|
||||
office. Those holy spirits in the heavenly fatherland are always spirits, but they may
|
||||
no wise be always called Angels, which is, being interpreted, messengers, for they are
|
||||
Angels only when they are sent as Messengers. Hence also it is said by the Psalmist: Who
|
||||
makest spirits thine Angels! As if it were: Of them who are always with Him as spirits,
|
||||
He doth somewhiles make use as Messengers. They who go on the lesser messages are called
|
||||
Angels; they who go on the greater, Archangels. Hence it is that unto the Virgin Mary was
|
||||
sent no common Angel, but the Archangel Gabriel. For the delivery of this, the highest
|
||||
message, it was meet that there should be sent the highest Angel. Their individual names
|
||||
also are so given as to signify the kind of ministry wherein each is powerful. Michael
|
||||
signifieth: Who-is-like-unto-God? Gabriel, the Strength-of-God, and Raphael, the
|
||||
Medicine-of-God.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As often as anything very mighty is to be done, we see that Michael is sent, that by
|
||||
that very thing, and by his name, we may remember that none is able to do as God doeth.
|
||||
Hence that old enemy whose pride hath puffed him up to be fain to be like unto God, even
|
||||
he who said, I will ascend unto heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I
|
||||
will be like the Most High, this old enemy, when at the end of the world he is about to
|
||||
perish in the last death, having no strength but his own, is shown unto us a-fighting
|
||||
with Michael the Archangel, even as saith John: There was war in heaven; Michael and his
|
||||
Angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. Unto Mary is
|
||||
sent Gabriel, whose name is interpreted the Strength of God, for he came to herald the
|
||||
appearing of Him Who was content to appear lowly that He might fight down the powers of
|
||||
the air. Raphael, also, as we have said, signifieth the Medicine-of-God, and it is the
|
||||
name of him who touched as a physician the eyes of Tobias, and cleared away his
|
||||
blindness.

dissonántiam morum te pértrahit in gehénnam: mélius est ut et propinquitáte ejus et

emoluméntis carnálibus cáreas, ne, dum vis lucri fácere cognátos et necessários,

causam hábeas ruinárum.

Dico vobis quia Angeli eórum in cælis semper vident fáciem Patris mei. Supra díxerat,
|

per manum et pedem et óculum, omnes propinquitátes et necessitúdines, quæ scándalum
|
||||
fácere póterant, amputándas; austeritátem, ítaque senténtiæ subjécto præcépto
|
||||
témperat, dicens: Vidéte ne contemnátis unum ex pusíllis istis. Sic, inquit, præcípio
|
||||
severitátem, ut commiscéri cleméntiam dóceam. Quia Angeli eórum in cælis vident semper
|
||||
fáciem Patris. Magna dígnitas animárum, ut unaquǽque hábeat ab ortu nativitátis, in
|
||||
custódiam sui, Angelum delegátum. Unde légimus in Apocalýpsi Joánnis: Angelo Ephesi,
|
||||
et reliquárum ecclesiárum, scribe hæc. Apóstolus quoque prǽcipit velári cápita, in
|
||||
ecclésiis, feminárum propter Angelos.

After the finding of the piece of money in the fish's mouth, after the payment of the
|
||||
tribute, what meaneth this sudden question of the Apostles? Who is the greatest in the
|
||||
kingdom of heaven? They had seen that the same tribute-money was paid for Peter as for
|
||||
the Lord, and from this equality of reckoning they gathered that Peter was Prince of all
|
||||
the Apostles, seeing that he had been appraised at the same price as his Master.
|
||||
Therefore they ask, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus, seeing
|
||||
their thoughts, and understanding wherefore they erred, is fain to take away the desire
|
||||
of glory by the love of lowliness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee;
|
||||
for it must needs be that offences come, but woe to that man by whom the offence
|
||||
cometh! because by his sin he maketh, and maketh to be his own work, that which must
|
||||
needs be in the world. Away, then, with every affection and every kinship, lest thy love
|
||||
should throw a stumbling-block before a single believer. Be there any, saith He, who is
|
||||
as near to thee as thine hand, thy foot, or thine eye, useful, careful, far-seeing, but
|
||||
who layeth a stumbling-block before thee, and whose diverse way of life may draw thee to
|
||||
hell; it is better for thee to lose such an one and thy worldly happiness with him, than
|
||||
to live surrounded by them that are near and needful to thee, and to pile up unto
|
||||
thyself damnation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I say unto you that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father.
|
||||
Above, He had said that every tie of kinship or of convenience which might become a
|
||||
stumbling-block, albeit close and needful as hand, or foot, or eye, was to be cut off,
|
||||
but here He softeneth the hardness of that precept: Take heed that ye despise not one of
|
||||
these little ones. Hardness, saith He, I command not save as teaching tenderness withal;
|
||||
in heaven their Angels do always behold the face of My Father. Oh, how great is the
|
||||
dignity of souls, whereof every one hath from its birth an Angel appointed to guard it!
|
||||
Hence, we read in the Revelation of John: unto the Angel of the Church of Ephesus, and
|
||||
so of the others, write, and so on. And the Apostle Paul also saith: The woman ought to
|
||||
have a covering on her head, because of the Angels.

Thecla virgo, ex illustribus paréntibus Iconii nata, a Paulo Apóstolo fidei præceptis
|
||||
instituta, miris sanctórum Patrum laudibus celebrátur. Quæ décimum octavum annum
|
||||
agens, Thamíride sponso relícto, cum eam paréntes, quod Christiana esset,
|
||||
accusassent, in ardentem rogum, qui, nisi Christo renuntiáret, ei parátus erat, prius
|
||||
signo crucis armata, seipsam injecit. Sed igne, plúvia quæ repénte exorta est,
|
||||
exstincto, Antiochíam venit; ubi, feris objecta et tauris in diversa incitátis
|
||||
alligata, mox conjecta in fossam plenam serpéntibus, ex ómnibus Jesu Christi grátia
|
||||
liberátur. Cujus ardore fidei et vitæ sanctitáte multi ad Christum convérsi sunt.
|
||||
Iterum in pátriam rédiens, in montem sola secessit. Deínde, multis virtútibus et
|
||||
miraculis insígnis, nonagenaria migrávit ad Dóminum, ac Seleucíæ sepúlta est.

This virgin Thecla was the daughter of noble parents at Iconium, and a disciple of the
|
||||
Apostle Paul. She is the subject of extraordinary praises by the holy Fathers. In the
|
||||
eighteenth year of her age, she parted from one Thamiris, to whom she had been
|
||||
betrothed, and her kindred accused her of being a Christian. A pile was set a-fire for
|
||||
her, unless she should deny Christ, but she made the sign of the Cross, and willingly
|
||||
entered it, and rain came, and put out the fire. She came to Antioch, where they threw
|
||||
her to wild beasts; and strove to tear her asunder, by tying her to oxen driven
|
||||
different ways; and cast her into a pit with many snakes; but by the mercy of Jesus
|
||||
Christ she was delivered from all. The warmth of her faith and the holiness of her life
|
||||
brought many to Christ. She returned into her own country, and withdrew to be an
|
||||
hermit, alone on a certain mountain, and passed away to be with the Lord, aged ninety
|
||||
years, and famous for many good works and miracles. She was buried at Seleucia.
