As a boy his great + intellectual sharpness caused him to distance all his companions in learning. When he was + living at Carthage as a young man, he fell into the heresy of the Manichaeans. He + afterwards went to Rome, and was thence sent to Milan to teach Rhetoric. At Milan he + often went to hear the sermons of Bishop Ambrose, by whose labours he was drawn to the + Catholic Church, and by whom he was baptized, at the age of thirty-three. After his + return to Africa, Valerius, the illustrious and saintly Bishop of Hippo, finding him to + unite holiness of life, with Catholic profession, made him a Priest. At this time he + founded a sort of family of godly men, who lived and worshipped in common with him, and + whom he earnestly formed upon the model of the Apostolic life and teaching. The + Manichaean heresy flaming forth with violence, he began strongly to attack it, and + confounded the arch-heretic Fortunatus. + + + Valerius, moved by the godly zeal of Augustine, joined him with himself as an assistant + in his duties of Bishop. He was lowly and pure in the highest degree. His furniture and + dress were plain, and his food of the commonest sort, which he always seasoned when at + table by either reading some religious book, or arguing upon some religious subject. His + tenderness to the poor was such that, failing all other resources, he broke up the + hallowed vessels to relieve their wants. It was his rule not to dwell or be very close + friends with any woman, a rule which he did not relax even in the case of his sister and + niece, for he was accustomed to say, that although no scandal could arise in the case of + such near kinswomen, yet it might arise concerning the women friends who sought their + company. He never ceased to preach the Word of God, until he was disabled by heavy + sickness. He was always an hard follower after heretics, and by his words and his + writings never suffered them to rest anywhere. In great measure, he purged Africa of the + Manicheans, Donatists, Pelagians, and other heretics. + + + He wrote so much, and that with such godliness and understanding, that he is to be held + among the very chiefest of them by whom the teachings of Christianity have been shown + forth. He is one of the first of those whom later theologians have followed, in method, + and in argument. He fell sick of a fever what time the Vandals were laying Africa waste, + and when they were busy in the third month of besieging Hippo. When he understood that + his departure from this present life was at hand, he caused the Psalms of David which + most speak the language of repentance to be placed before him, and read them with tears, + for he was wont to say that even if a man's conscience were to accuse him of no sin, he + should not dare to leave this world except as a penitent. His senses remained vigorous to + the last, and it was while rapt in prayer, in the presence of the brethren whom he had + exhorted to love, godliness, and all goodness, that he departed for heaven. He lived 76 + years, whereof he had been a Bishop nearly thirty six.

To fly from these temptations + of the devil, he determined at two-and-twenty years of age to enter the Monastery of + Citeaux, whence the Cistercian Order took its rise. When this resolution of Bernard's + became known, his brothers did all their diligence to change his purpose, but he only + became the more eloquent and happy about it. Them and others he so brought over to his + mind, that thirty young men entered the same Order along with him. As a monk he was so + given to fasting, that as often as he had to eat, so often he seemed to be in pain. He + exercised himself wonderfully in watching and prayer, and was a great lover of Christian + poverty. Thus he led on earth an heavenly life, purged of all care and desire for + transitory things. + + + He was a burning and shining light of lowliness, mercifulness, and kindness. His + concentration of thought was such, that he hardly used his senses except to do good + works, in which latter he acted with admirable wisdom. Thus occupied, he refused the + Bishoprics of Genoa, Milan, and others, which were offered to him, declaring that he was + unworthy of so high a sphere of duty. Being made Abbot of Clairvaux, he built monasteries + in many places, wherein the excellent rules and discipline of Bernard long flourished. + When Pope Innocent II. restored the monastery of St. Vincent and St. Anastasius at Rome, + Bernard set over it the Abbot who was afterwards the Supreme Pontiff Eugene III., and who + is also the same to whom he addressed his book upon Consideration. + + + He was the author of many writings, in which it is manifest that his teaching was + rather given him of God, than gained by hard work.

In imitation of her holy + fellow-citizen Francis, she distributed all her goods among the poor and needy. She fled + from the din of the world, and betook herself to the Church of St. Mary of the Angels in + the fields, where blessed Francis cut her hair. She stoutly resisted the efforts of her + family to make her come back, and after a while Francis took her to the Church of St. + Damian, where the Lord gathered around her several companions. Thus she founded an holy + Sisterhood, which, at the earnest entreaty of holy Francis, she governed. For two-and-forty + years she directed her monastery with wonderful care and wisdom in the fear of the Lord + and the full keeping of the Rule. Her own life was an instruction and teaching for the + rest, whence others learnt to order their own. + + + What she might wax stronger in spirit by keeping the body down, she made her bed on the + bare ground, sometimes with little twigs, and with hard wood for a pillow. Her dress was + a gown and cloak of mean and rough cloth, and she sometimes wore hair-cloth next the skin. + She bridled herself with such abstinence, that for a long time she took no bodily + nourishment whatever upon three days in the week. Upon the remaining days she ate so + little that the others wondered how she lived. As long as her health allowed it, she kept + two Lents every year, during which she fasted upon bread and water. Moreover, she was + instant in watching and prayer, wherein she chiefly spent both her days and nights. She + suffered from constant illnesses, and when she could not herself rise to bodily work, she + sat up with the help of the sisters, and with her back propped, worked with her hands, + that she might not be idle even in the midst of her weaknesses. She was an eminent lover + of poverty, from which no need ever made her swerve, and she persistently refused the + possessions which were offered to the sisters by Gregory IX. for their support. + + + The power of her holy life shone forth in many and diverse miracles. She restored the use + of speech to one of the sisters in her convent; for another she opened a deaf ear; she + healed one sick with fever, one swollen with dropsy, one troubled with an hollow oozing + ulcer, and others afflicted with diverse ailments. She cured a brother of the Order of + Friars Minors of raging madness. Once when all the oil in the house was spent, she took + the vessel and washed it, and it was found filled with oil by the goodness of God. She + multiplied half a loaf till it was enough to satisfy fifty sisters. When the Saracens + attacked Assisi, and were fain to break into Clare's monastery, she being sick, caused + herself to be carried to the door, and likewise the vessel in which was held the Most + Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, and there she prayed, saying: O Lord, deliver not unto + beasts the souls of them that praise thee, but preserve thine handmaids whom Thou hast + redeemed with thy Precious Blood. Whereupon a voice was heard which said: I will always + preserve you. Some of the Saracens took to flight, and others who had mounted the wall + became blind, and fell down headlong. When Clare herself was at the point of death she + beheld a white multitude of blessed Virgins, with one among them nobler and brighter than + the rest. Having received the Holy Eucharist, and a Plenary Indulgence from Innocent IV., + she resigned her soul to God upon the 12th day of August. After her death she became + illustrious for very many miracles, and Alexander IV. enrolled her name among those of + the Holy Virgins. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-dominic.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-dominic.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..377a636 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-dominic.yml @@ -0,0 +1,77 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Dominic, Confessor (Aug 4) — +# SanctiM/08-04.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/08-04`) with no +# Nocturn 2/3 override, 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/08-04.txt, English/Sancti/08-04.txt. +# Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita, no genuine +# source break.

He was born at Calaruega, + in Old Castile, and was sent to be taught worldly and sacred learning at Palencia. He + attained great success in his studies, and became, first, a Regular Canon of the + Cathedral Church of Osma, and afterwards Founder of the Order of Friars Preachers. While + his mother was great with child, she dreamt that what was in her womb was a little whelp + dog with a lighted torch in his mouth, and that when she was delivered of him, he set all + the world on fire. By this dream was figured that burning and shining light of holiness + of life and power of doctrine, whereby he should enkindle godliness throughout whole + nations. The end proved the truth of the image, for this is in good sooth what his work + was, a work which he hath continued to do through the Brethren of his Order. + + + But his wisdom and bravery were most chiefly shown in confounding the heretics, who + were fain, with their pestilential falsehoods, to corrupt the people of the county of + Toulouse. In this business he spent seven years. Afterwards he came to Rome to the + Fourth Lateran Council, along with the Bishop of Toulouse, that the Order which he had + founded might be confirmed by Innocent III. While the matter was under consideration, + Dominick, by the advice of the Pope, went home, that he might put his Rule into shape. + He returned again to Rome, and obtained from Honorius III., the immediate successor of + Innocent, the confirmation of the Order of Preachers. At Rome Dominic founded two + Convents, one for men, and one for women. He raised three dead men to life, and worked + many other miracles, whereby the Order of Preachers became exceedingly spread abroad. + + + By his work convents were already during his life-time established in all countries, + and almost countless persons embraced the life of prayer and godliness. In the year of + Christ 1221 he fell sick of a fever at Bologna. When he understood that he was about to + die, he called together his brethren and disciples, and exhorted them to innocence and + uprightness. Lastly, he left to them as his legacy, love, lowliness, and poverty, and as + the brethren were all praying, and the words were being said, Come ye to help him, ye + Saints of God; run ye to meet him, ye Angels, he fell asleep in the Lord.

The wretch was thus doubly fired by his + greed for money and his hatred of the truth, his greed urging him to seize the gold, and + his wickedness to rob a believer of Christ. He demanded of the upright keeper of the + sacred treasury, to bring him the wealth of the Church, for which his rapacity longed. + But the pureminded Levite showed him where these riches were stored, by bringing before + him a great multitude of holy poor, by the feeding and clothing of whom he had laid up + all that he had, in such wise, that it could be lost no more, and was now all the safer, + as the way of spending it had been the holier. + + + The baffled thief chafed, and his hatred for the godliness which had appointed such an + use of riches, flaming forth, he attempted the robbery of a dearer treasure from him in + whose hands he had found no coin, even to take from him that possession wherein he had + holier wealth. He commanded Lawrence to deny Christ, and made ready to assail the + immovable firmness of the Levite's soul with appalling tortures, of which the failure of + the first was followed by the application of others more fearful still. When his limbs + had been mangled and cut by many stripes, his tormentor ordered them to be roasted over a + fire. He was laid on an iron grating, the bars of which by the continual fire below, + became themselves burning hot, so that by turning and rearranging his limbs upon them, + his agony was kept keener, and his suffering made to last longer. + + + Cruel savage! thou gainest nothing, and advancest nothing. That which can die passeth by + degrees beyond the reach of thy tortures, and when Lawrence departeth to heaven, thou and + thy fires are conquered. The love of Christ could not be overcome by the flames, and the + glow that scorched the outward man was colder than that that burnt in the inner. Thou + didst rage, O thou persecutor, thou didst rage against the Martyr, but by making keener + his agony, thou hast but made nobler his palm. What did thine imagination fail to + discover that could minister to the glory of him who conquered thee, since even the means + of his execution have turned to the honour of his triumph? Wherefore, dearly beloved + brethren, let us rejoice with spiritual joy, and make our boast in the Lord, Who is + wonderful in His Saints, and hath given unto us, in them an help and an example. Let us, + I say, make our boast of the extraordinary happiness of the illustrious Lawrence's end, + in that same Lord Who hath so glorified the name of His servant throughout the whole + world, that from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof, wheresoever the + constellation of the Levitical lights shineth, even as Jerusalem is made glorious by + Stephen, so Rome is made famous by Lawrence. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Tract 51 on John (on John 12:24-26)" + text: + la: >- + Ipse Dóminus Jesus erat granum mortificándum et multiplicándum; mortificándum + infidelitáte Judæórum, multiplicándum fide populórum.

He, exhorting men to follow His steps, saith: He that loveth his life shall + lose it. Now, these words may be understood in two ways.

Concerning him the + Word of God saith: That they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on + beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some + of them. If the shadow of his body then could give help, how much more shall the fulness + of his strength give help now. If the very air, as he passed by, was then profitable to + such as besought him, how much more shall his favour profit where now he abideth. It is + with reason that, throughout all the Churches of Christ, the iron chains wherewith he was + afflicted are reckoned more precious than gold. + + + If his shadow as a visitor was so healthful, what is his chain now that he bindeth and + looseth. If his empty image in the air had healing power, how much power must have been + contracted from his body by those chains, whose iron weight sank into his holy limbs + during his suffering. If, before he testified, he was so mighty to aid them that called + upon him, how much mightier is he now since his victory. Blessed were the links, doomed + to be changed from fetters and shackles, into a crown, which by touching the Apostle, + made him a Martyr. Blessed were the chains, whose prisoner left them for the Cross of + Christ, and which brought him thither, not as the instruments of condemnation, but of + sanctification. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-sabina.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-sabina.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..91eab2a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-sabina.yml @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Sabina, Martyr (Aug 29, sharing the +# date with the Decollation of St. John the Baptist — see +# decollation-of-st-john-baptist.yml).

It was his ordinance which forbade Priests and Deacons ever to + use their hallowed garments except in the Church. He forbade a re-baptism of such as had + been baptized by heretics, writing to St. Cyprian in these words: Let us have no + innovations, but only what hath been handed down unto us. He turned many to Christ, and, + among them, the Tribune Olympius, with his wife Exuperia, and his son Theodulus, and the + Tribune Nemesius, to whose blind daughter he had given sight, along with all his + household. All these were martyrs for Jesus Christ. When the persecution of the + Emperors was waxing dreader and more dread, Stephen gathered together the clergy, and + exhorted them to be brave in lifting up their testimony, and himself celebrated Masses + and Councils in the Catacombs. He was caught by some unbelievers, and haled to the temple + of Mars, to do sacrifice to that idol, but he boldly said he would never pay to devils an + honour which it behoved to give to God only. As he spake these words an earthquake made + the image of Mars to fall down, and all the temple to tremble. All they that held + Stephen fled, and the Pope went back to his own people in the cemetery of Lucina. He + there delivered to them a discourse full of the Word of God, and gave them the Communion + of the Sacrament of the Body of Christ. While he was finishing the Mass, the soldiers of + the Emperor again brake in upon them, and his head was cut off as he sat in his chair. + The reliques of the Martyr, along with the chair stained with his blood, were buried by + the clergy in the cemetery of Callistus, upon the 2nd day of August. He lived as Pope + three years, three months, and twenty two days.
