Behold, is it not an honourable number in thy + sight, Who didst bless the fast of forty days, and at the end thy Divine Law came forth to + the earth?

Desiring to + give himself altogether to Christ Jesus, he betook himself to a very deep cave at the + place now called Subiaco. In this place he lay hid for three years, unknown to all except + the monk Romanus, by means of whom he received the necessaries of life. While he was in + the cave at Subiaco, the devil one day assailed him with an extraordinary storm of impure + temptation, and to get it under, he rolled himself in brambles till his whole body was + lacerated, and the sting of pain drove out the sallies of lust. At last the fame of his + holiness spread itself abroad from the desert, and some monks came to him for guidance, + but the looseness of their lives was such that they could not bear his exhortations, and + they plotted together to poison him in his drink. When they gave him the cup, he made the + sign of the Cross over it, whereupon it immediately broke, and Benedict left that + monastery, and retired to a desert place alone. + + + Nevertheless his disciples followed him daily, and for them he built twelve monasteries, + and set holy laws to govern them. Afterwards he went to Cassino, and brake the image of + Apollo which was still worshipped there, overturned the altar, and burnt the groves. + There he built the Church of St Martin and the little chapel of St. John; and instilled + Christianity into the townspeople and inhabitants. He grew in the grace of God day by + day, so that being endowed with the spirit of prophecy he foretold things to come. When + Totila, King of the Goths, heard of it, and would see whether it really were so, he sent + his Spatharius before him, with the kingly ensigns and attendance, and feigning himself + to be Totila. But as soon as Benedict saw him he said: My son, put off that which thou + wearest, for it is not thine. To Totila himself he foretold that he would go to Rome, + would cross the sea, and would die after nine years. + + + Some months before he departed this life, Benedict forewarned his disciples on what day + he was to die; and he ordered his grave to be opened six days before he was carried to + it. On the sixth day, being the 21st of March, he would be carried into the Church, where + he received the Eucharist, and then, in the arms of his disciples, with his eyes lifted + up to heaven, and wrapt in prayer, he gave up the ghost.

A solemn word, a great promise, + a holy work, worthy of a blessing: to leave all things, and follow Christ. These are the + words that willingly persuade to poverty, which have brought forth monasteries, which have + filled cloisters with monks and the woods more abundantly with hermits. For these are they + of whom the Church sings: Because of the words of thy lips I have kept hard ways; about to + receive rest for labour, riches for poverty, reward for tribulation. It is indeed a great + thing to leave all things, but a greater thing to follow Christ, since we read that many + left all things, yet did not follow Christ. This is the work, this is the labour, herein + lies the sum of man's salvation; nor can we follow Christ unless we leave all things, + because He rejoiceth as a giant to run the way, and one who is burdened cannot follow Him. + + + Behold, he saith, we have left all things — not only the goods of the world, but also the + desires of the mind: for he does not leave all things who has kept even himself; indeed it + profits nothing to have left all else without leaving oneself, since no burden is heavier + upon a man than the man himself. For what tyrant is more cruel, what power more savage upon + a man, than the will of the man himself? There follows: What then shall we have? Peter has + already left all things; he not only follows now, but has long followed; and now for the + first time he asks what he is to receive. What is this, Peter? Didst thou not promise + obedience upon hearing with thine ears, not upon the striking of a bargain? But hear now + what the Lord God says, and attend to the hope in which we ought to hope while the world is + tossed about: Ye shall sit, says the Lord, says the Truth. A solemn sitting, a welcome rest, + a full sufficiency. + + + But lest a long-drawn-out waiting should twist the sweetness of the great promise, He + tempers the fickleness of our mind with a sweeter word. For He himself knows our frame, + since our faintheartedness cannot bear the delays of postponement; and so in His kindness + He meets this thought also, and comes to meet us on this side too, saying: And every one + that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, + or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life + everlasting. Surely the mouth of them that speak unjust things is stopped. Now let all be + confounded that work iniquity in vain. For we have the promise of this life, which now is, + together with that which is to come; and it is plain that the hundredfold promise belongs + to the present time, from what follows: and shall possess life everlasting. + + + Let those, then, who have not yet received the hundredfold, search their own hearts, and + diligently examine all the labours of their hands; and there is no doubt they will find a + corner and a lodging-place which the Saviour does not know. But what is this hundredfold, + but the consolations and visitations and firstfruits of the Spirit, which is sweeter than + honey; but the testimony of our own conscience; but the glad and most joyful expectation + of the just; but the memory of the abundance of God's sweetness, and the truly great + multitude of His sweetness, which it is not necessary to tell to those who have + experienced it, nor can any words express it to those who have not? But to whom can this + whole course of the Gospel reading be so specially assigned, as to our Father and Master, + blessed Benedict?

When it pleased God that her + husband should be banished, all her goods taken away, and her home ruined, she meekly bowed + down before His holy will, often repeating the words of the blessed Job: The Lord gave, and + the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. + + + On her husband's death she betook herself immediately to the house of the Oblates, and, + with her feet bare and a rope round her neck, threw herself down on the threshold, + entreating the sisters with tears to receive her into their number. When she obtained her + wish, although she was the mother of them all, she would be among them only as one that + served, glorying rather to be called the most degraded of women and a vessel of + uncleanness. Her lowly esteem of herself was shown both by her word and example. She passed + often through the city from a vineyard in the country carrying a bundle of sticks on her + head, or driving an ass laden with faggots; she succoured the needy, for whom she collected + large alms, and visited the sick in the hospitals, ministering to them both food for the + body and exhortations healthful for their souls. She strove continually to bring her body + into subjection by watchings, fastings, haircloth, the wearing of an iron girdle, and the + often use of a scourge. She never ate but once a day, and then only vegetables, and she + took no drink but water. These severities she however sometimes relaxed, in obedience to + her confessor, on whose word and wishes she framed her customs. + + + So great was her mental realisation of the things of God, and chiefly of the sufferings of + the Lord Christ, and so abundant her tears in contemplating them, that she seemed sometimes + about to sink under her grief. Often when she was engaged in prayer, and principally after + she had received the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, her spirit became altogether + lifted up to God, and she remained motionless, carried away by the thought of heavenly + things. The enemy of man assailed her with diverse reproaches and buffetings to break her + off her intent, but she feared him not, and with the help of an Angel whom God gave her to + be her familiar friend, she won a noble victory over the tempter. God glorified her with + the gifts of healing and of prophecy, whereby she foretold things to come, and saw the + secrets of the hearts of men. She departed to be with the Lord, famous for good works and + miracles, in the fifty-sixth year of her age. The Supreme Pontiff Paul V. caused her to be + numbered among the saints. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-gregory-the-great.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-gregory-the-great.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b9de79b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-gregory-the-great.yml @@ -0,0 +1,116 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Gregory the Great, Pope, Confessor, +# Doctor (Mar 12) — SanctiM/03-12.txt's own Lectio5-12 all resolve back +# to `@Sancti/03-12:LectioN` (resliced for the Monastic 12-lesson +# structure), so this saint's own vita is sourced from the Tridentine +# track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see memory +# vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints). +# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/03-12.txt, English/Sancti/03-12.txt. +# Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita, no genuine +# source break.

As a young man he studied + philosophy, and afterwards discharged the office of Praetor. After his father's death he + built six monasteries in Sicily, and a seventh in honour of St. Andrew, in his own house + at Rome, hard by the Church of Saints John and Paul at the ascent of the hill Scaurus. In + this monastery of St. Andrew, he and his masters, Hilarion and Maximian, professed + themselves monks, and Gregory was afterwards Abbot. Later on, he was created a Cardinal + Deacon, and sent to Constantinople as legate from Pope Pelagius to the Emperor Tiberius + Constantine. Before the Emperor he so successfully disputed against the Patriarch + Eutychius, who had denied that our bodies shall verily and indeed rise again, that the + Prince threw the book of the said Patriarch into the fire. Eutychius himself also, soon + after fell sick, and when he felt death coming on him, he took hold of the skin of his own + hand and said in the hearing of many that stood by: I acknowledge that we shall all rise + again in this flesh. + + + Gregory returned to Rome, and, Pelagius being dead of a plague, he was unanimously chosen + Pope. This honour he refused as long as he could. He disguised himself and took refuge in + a cave, but was betrayed by a fiery pillar. Being discovered and overruled, he was + consecrated at the grave of St. Peter. He left behind him many examples of doctrine and + holiness to them that have followed him in the Papacy. Every day he brought pilgrims to + his table, and among them he entertained not an Angel only, but the very Lord of Angels in + the guise of a pilgrim. He tenderly cared for the poor, of whom he kept a list, as well + without as within the city. He restored the Catholic faith in many places where it had + been overthrown. He fought successfully against the Donatists in Africa and the Arians in + Spain. He cleansed Alexandria of the Agnoites. He refused to give the Pall to Syagrius, + Bishop of Autun, unless he would expel the Neophyte heretics from Gaul. He caused the + Goths to abandon the Arian heresy. He sent into Britain Augustine and diverse other + learned and holy monks, who brought the inhabitants of that island to believe in Jesus + Christ. Hence Gregory is justly called by Bede, the Priest of Jarrow, the Apostle of + England. He rebuked the presumption of John, Patriarch of Constantinople, who had taken + to himself the title of Bishop of the Universal Church, and he dissuaded the Emperor + Maurice from forbidding soldiers to become monks. + + + Gregory adorned the Church with holy customs and laws. He called together a Synod in the + Church of St. Peter, and therein ordained many things; among others, the ninefold + repetition of the words Kyrie eleison in the Mass, the saying of the word Alleluja in the + Church service except between Septuagesima inclusive and Easter exclusive, and the + addition to the Canon of the Mass of the words Do Thou order all our days in thy peace. + He increased the Litanies, the number of the Churches where is held the observance called + a Station, and the length of the Church Service. He would that the four Councils of Nice, + Constantinople, Ephesus, and Chalcedon should be honoured like four Gospels. He released + the Sicilian Bishops from visiting Rome every three years, willing them to come instead + once every five years. He was the author of many books, and Peter the Deacon declareth + that he often saw the Holy Ghost on his head in the form of a dove when he was dictating + them. It is a marvel how much he spoke, did, wrote, and legislated, suffering all the + while from a weak and sickly body. He worked many miracles. At last God called him away + to be blessed for ever in heaven, in the thirteenth year, sixth month, and tenth day of + his Pontificate, being the 12th day of March. This day is observed by the Greeks, as well + as by us, as a festival, on account of the eminent wisdom and holiness of this Pope. His + body was buried in the Church of St. Peter, hard by the Private Chapel. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-joseph.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-joseph.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e033eaa --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-joseph.yml @@ -0,0 +1,66 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Joseph, Spouse of the B.V.M., +# Confessor (Mar 19) — SanctiM/03-19.txt's own Lectio2-9 all resolve +# back to `@Sancti/03-19:LectioN` (resliced for the Monastic 9/12-lesson +# structure with its own added responsories), so this saint's own +# proper content is sourced from the Tridentine track exactly as for a +# pre-1955 saint (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints, +# vu-matins-sanctim-saints). +# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/03-19.txt, English/Sancti/03-19.txt. +# Lectio4-6 (St. Bernard's sermon comparing Joseph the Patriarch to +# Joseph the husband of Mary) combined into one reading, one continuous +# excerpt.

He even as an infant gave token of the love which he + afterwards bore to the Mother of God. He found a little bit of paper upon which was written + the Angelic Salutation, and held it firm in his hand in spite of the efforts of his + wet-nurse; his mother took it away by force, but he cried and stretched out for it, and + when she gave it back to him, he swallowed it. When he was only four years old, he was + given into the keeping of the Benedictine monks of Monte Cassino. He was thence sent to + Naples to study, and there, while very young, entered the Order of Friars Preachers. This + displeased his mother and brothers, and he left Naples for Paris. When he was on his + journey his brothers met him, and carried him off by force to the castle of Monte San + Giovanni, where they imprisoned him in the keep. Here they used every means to break him of + his intention, and at last brought a woman into his room to try to overcome his purity. The + lad drove her out with a fire-brand. When he was alone he knelt down before the figure of + the Cross, and there he fell asleep. As he slept, it seemed to him that angels came and + girded his loins, and from this time he never felt the least sexual inclination. His + sisters came to the castle to beseech him to give up his purpose of leaving the world, but + he so worked on them by his godly exhortations, that both of them ever after set no value + on earthly things, and busied themselves rather with heavenly. + + + Being let down from a window, Thomas escaped out of the castle of Monte San Giovanni, and + returned to Naples. Thence he went first to Rome, and then to Paris, in company of Brother + John the German, then Master-General of the Friars Preachers. At Paris he studied + Philosophy and Theology under Albert the Great, Doctor. At the age of twenty-five years he + took the degree of Master, and gave public disquisitions on the Philosophers and + Theologians with great distinction. He never set himself to read or write till he had first + prayed, and when he was about to take in hand a hard passage of the Holy Scriptures, he + fasted also. Hence he was wont to say to Brother Reginald his comrade, that whatever he + knew, he had learnt, not so much from his own labour and study, as from the inspiration of + God. At Naples he was once kneeling in very earnest prayer before an image of Christ + Crucified, when he heard a voice which said Thomas, thou hast written well of Me; what + reward wilt thou that I give thee? He answered: Lord, thyself. + + + The Supreme Pontiff Urban IV. sent for him to Rome, and at his command he composed the + Church Office for the feast of Corpus Christi. The Pope could not persuade him to accept + any dignity. Pope Clement IV. also offered him the Archbishopric of Naples, but he refused + it. He did not neglect the preaching of the Word of God. Once while he was giving a course + of sermons in the Basilica of St Peter, during the octave of Easter, a woman who had an + issue of blood was healed by touching the hem of his garment. He was sent by blessed + Gregory X. to the Council of Lyons, but fell sick on his way to the Abbey of Fossa Nuovo, + and there during his illness he made an exposition of the Song of Songs. There he died on + the 7th day of March, in the year of salvation 1274, aged fifty years. + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
