+#
+# Lectio1-3 (Acts 7:51-54, 55-58, 59 + 8:1-2) is one continuous
+# scriptural excerpt (Stephen's own martyrdom, from Acts), no internal

+# of the relics under Honorius) is a second continuous account, combined.
+# Lectio6 (St. Augustine, City of God, Bk. 22 ch. 8) is a third, distinct
+# source. Responsories are all `@Sancti/12-26` cross-references (this
+# day's proper is otherwise borrowed wholesale from St. Stephen's Dec 26
+# feast) — not transcribed here since that source file's own responsory

+        Dura cervice et incircumcisis córdibus et áuribus, vos semper Spiritui Sancto resístitis:

+
+        Cum autem esset plenus Spíritu Sancto, inténdens in cælum, vidit glóriam Dei, et Jesum
+        stantem a dextris Dei. Et ait: Ecce video cælos apertos, et Fílium hóminis stantem a dextris
+        Dei. Exclamántes autem voce magna, continuérunt aures suas, et ímpetum fecérunt unanímiter in
+        eum. Et ejiciéntes eum extra civitátem lapidábant: et testes deposuérunt vestiménta sua secus

+        Dómine Jesu, suscipe spíritum meum.
+
+
+        Positis autem genibus, clamávit voce magna: Dómine, ne statuas illis hoc peccátum. Et cum hoc
+        dixísset, obdormívit in Dómino. Saulus autem erat consentiens neci ejus. Facta est autem in
+        illa die persecútio magna in ecclésia quæ erat Jerosolymis; et omnes dispersi sunt per
+        regiónes Judææ et Samaríæ, præter Apóstolos. Curavérunt autem Stephanum viri timorati, et
+        fecérunt planctum magnum super eum.

+        You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as
+        your fathers did, so do you also. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
+        And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been
+        now the betrayers and murderers: who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and
+        have not kept it. Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed
+        with their teeth at him.
+
+
+        But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of
+        God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens
+        opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. And they crying out with a
+        loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him. And casting him
+        forth without the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the
+        feet of a young man, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying:
+        Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
+
+
+        And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their
+        charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his
+        death. And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at
+        Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except
+        the apostles. And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral, and made great mourning over
+        him.

+        In the reign of the Emperor Honorius, a Priest named Lucian received a message from God, in
+        consequence of which discovery was made of the bodies of the Saints Stephen the First
+        Martyr, Gamaliel, Nicodemus, and Abibon, which had long been lying unknown and unheeded.
+        Lucian was asleep when Gamaliel appeared to him in a dream as a tall comely old man of
+        worshipful presence, told him where the bodies were lying, and bade him go to John, Patriarch
+        of Jerusalem, and deal with him that they might have more honourable burial.
+
+
+        When the Patriarch of Jerusalem heard it, he called together Bishops and Priests from the
+        neighbouring cities, and betook himself to the place, where he found the tombs hewn in the
+        rock, and a right sweet savour flowing forth from them. The thing being noised abroad, a
+        great multitude of people came together, and many that were sick and weak of diverse
+        diseases returned home whole. The sacred body of holy Stephen was then carried with great
+        pomp to the holy Church of Zion. Under the Emperor Theodosius the Younger it was taken to
+        Constantinople, and during the Popedom of Pelagius I it was brought to Rome, where it has
+        been laid in the sepulchre of the holy Martyr Lawrence in the Veranian Field.

+        Louis IX, King of France, at the age of twelve years lost his father. He was brought up
+        under the godly care of his mother, Blanche of Castile. In the twentieth year of his reign
+        he fell grievously sick, and the thought then occurred to him of delivering Jerusalem out of
+        the hands of the Moslems. On his health being restored, he received a banner from the Bishop
+        of Paris, and crossed the sea with a very great army. In his first battle he put the
+        Saracens to flight, but, a great number of the soldiers perishing by disease, he was himself
+        conquered and taken prisoner.
+
+
+        The King afterwards entered into treaty with the Saracens, and he and his army departed in
+        peace. He remained five years in the East, during which he redeemed great numbers of
+        Christians from slavery among the unbelievers, and also brought many of the unbelievers
+        themselves to believe in Christ. Moreover he rebuilt several cities of the Christians at his
+        own cost. Meanwhile, his mother departed this life, whereby he was constrained to return
+        home, where he gave himself up entirely to works of godliness.
+
+
+        He built many monasteries, and charitable institutions for the poor. By his alms he relieved
+        the needy, and often visited the sick, for whom he not only provided at his own cost, but
+        waited on them with his own hands with such things as they wanted. He wore a plain dress and
+        constantly chastised his body with hair-cloth and fasting. He crossed the sea to make war
+        again upon the Saracens. His camp was pitched in sight of the enemy, but he was seized with
+        pestilence, and died uttering the words: I will come into thy house; I will worship toward
+        thy holy temple, and praise thy Name. His body was afterwards carried to Paris, and it is
+        kept and honoured in the famous Abbey Church of St. Denis, but his head in the oratory called
+        La Sainte Chapelle. He was renowned for miracles, and Pope Boniface VIII enrolled his name
+        among those of the Saints.
