# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for Ss. Felix and Adauctus, Martyrs (Aug 30)

# — pre-1955-but-post-1617. Plain Sancti/08-30.txt is a different, later

# saint (St. Rose of Lima, canonized 1671) who displaced Felix and
|

# Adauctus on the general calendar's own Aug 30 slot; their content

# survives at the suffixed sibling file (see memory

# vu-matins-pre1955-saints's "critical wrinkle").

# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), no responsory in the source.

Felix, Diocletiano et Maximiano imperatoribus, propter susceptam Christi religionem
|
||||
comprehensus, in Serapidis templum adductus est. Cui sacrificare cum juberetur, os simulacri
|
||||
conspuit. Quo facto, statim serea statua corruit. Quod cum iterum ac tertio in sede Mercurii
|
||||
Dianæque factum esset, impietatis et magicæ artis accusatus, equuleo torquetur. Mox ad
|
||||
secundum ab Urbe lapidem via Ostiensi ducitur, ut securi feriretur. Cui inter viam oblatus
|
||||
quidam Christianus, cum Felicem agnoscens ad martyrium duci videret, Ego quoque, clara voce
|
||||
inquit, eadem, qua iste, lege vivo; ego eumdem Jesum Christum colo. Itaque Felicem osculatus,
|
||||
cum eo securi percutitur, tertio Kalendas Septembris. Cujus nomen cum ignotum esset
|
||||
Christianis, is Adaucti nomine nobilitatus est, quod sancto Martyri Felici adauctus sit ad
|
||||
coronam.

Felix was arrested in the reign of the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, on the charge of
|
||||
having embraced the Christian Faith, and was brought to the temple of Serapis. When he was
|
||||
ordered to offer sacrifice, he spat in the face of the brazen idol, which thereupon fell
|
||||
down. When this happened a second and third time in the temples of Mercury and Diana, he was
|
||||
accused of impiety and magic, and tortured upon the rack. It was not long, however, before he
|
||||
was led out to the second mile-stone upon the road to Ostia, to be smitten with the axe. As
|
||||
they were on the way thither, they chanced to meet a certain Christian, who, when he knew
|
||||
that Felix was going to finish his testimony, said aloud, I live by the same law as he doth;
|
||||
I worship the same Christ Jesus. And therewith he kissed Felix, and they were beheaded
|
||||
together, upon the 30th day of August. What the name of the second person was the Christians
|
||||
never knew, and he is therefore honoured under the title of Him-who-was-added, that is,
|
||||
added to the company of the Holy Martyr Felix in winning of the crown.
