Add May sanctoral content: 10 saints plus the Queenship of the BVM
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m6s
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m6s
Continues the full-year sanctoral import (see TODO.md/memory for Jan-Apr): St. Pius V, St. Antoninus, St. Robert Bellarmine, St. John Baptist de la Salle, St. Paschal Baylon, St. Venantius, St. Bernardine of Siena, St. John Baptist de Rossi, St. Augustine of Canterbury, St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, and the Queenship of the BVM (May 31, Duplex II Classis, instituted by Pius XII's 1954 "Ad cæli Reginam" — full proper content, not a Common fallback). Adding the Queenship to May 31 surfaces a real collision with Trinity Sunday in years where Trinity falls on May 31 (2026): since this app models Trinitytide Sundays as plain ordinary-sunday with no special first-class standing, a Duplex+ sanctoral feast wins outright there per the existing precedence rule. Updated the two tests pinned to that date accordingly, with a third moved to a Trinity Sunday date (2023-06-04) free of any sanctoral entry to keep testing the octave-vs-anchor-day interaction in isolation.

|

If we follow St. John Damascene, St. Athanasius and others, are we not forced
|
||||
to call Mary Queen, since her father David receiveth the highest praise in
|
||||
Scripture as a renowned king, and her son as King of kings and Lord of lords,
|
||||
reigning forever? She is Queen, moreover, when compared with the Saints who
|
||||
reign like kings in the heavenly kingdom, co-heirs with Christ, the great King,
|
||||
placed on the same throne with him, as the Scripture saith. And as Queen she is
|
||||
second to none of the elect, but in dignity is raised so high above both
|
||||
Angels and men that nothing can be higher or holier than she, who alone hath
|
||||
the same Son as God the Father, and who seeth above her only God and Christ,
|
||||
and below her creatures other than herself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The great Athanasius said clearly: Mary is not only the Mother of God, but also
|
||||
can be properly and truly called Queen and Lady, since in fact the Christ who
|
||||
was born of the Virgin Mother is God and Lord and also King. It is to this
|
||||
Queen, therefore, that the Psalmist's words are applied: The Queen taketh her
|
||||
place at thy right hand in garments of gold. Thus Mary is rightly called Queen,
|
||||
not only of heaven, but also of the heavens, as the Mother of the King of
|
||||
Angels, and as the Bride and beloved of the King of the heavens. O Mary, most
|
||||
august Queen and most faithful Mother, to whom no one prayeth in vain who
|
||||
prayeth devoutly, and to whom all mortal men are bound by the enduring memory
|
||||
of so many benefits, again and again reverently I beseech thee to accept and be
|
||||
pleased with every evidence of my devotion to thee, to value the poor gift I
|
||||
offer according to the zeal with which it is offered, and to recommend it to
|
||||
thine all-powerful Son.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
From the documents of ancient Christianity, from the prayers of the liturgy,
|
||||
from the innate religious sense of the Christian people, from works of art,
|
||||
from all sides we gather witnesses which assert that the Virgin Mother of God
|
||||
excelleth in queenly dignity. And we have set forth the reasons which sacred
|
||||
theology deduces from the treasury of divine faith to confirm the same truth.
|
||||
All these witnesses form a sort of chorus, proclaiming far and wide the supreme
|
||||
queenly honour granted to the Mother of God and man, who is above all created
|
||||
things and exalted over the choirs of Angels to reign in heaven. Thus it is
|
||||
that after mature and thoughtful consideration we have been persuaded that
|
||||
great benefits would flow to the Church if, like a light that illumines more
|
||||
brightly when placed in its stand, this solidly proved truth were to shine out
|
||||
more clearly to all, and so, by Our Apostolic Authority, we decree and
|
||||
institute the feast of Mary, Queen, which is to be celebrated every year on the
|
||||
thirty-first day of May throughout the world.

Beáta María Virgo, summi Regis mater est per generósam conceptiónem, secúndum

Rex regum et Dóminus dominántium, statim ex quo concépit Fílium Dei, Regína

fuit, non solum terræ, sed étiam cæli, quod designátum est in Apocalýpsi ubi

María Regína est præclaríssima quantum ad glóriam, quod bene desígnat Prophéta

in psalmo qui speciáliter est de Christo et Vírgine María, ubi primo dícitur de
|
||||
Christo: Sedes tua, Deus, in sǽculum sǽculi, et paulo post de Vírgine:
|
||||
Adstitit regína a dextris tuis, hoc est in potióribus bonis, quod quidem
|
||||
dictum est quantum ad glóriam mentis. Séquitur: In vestítu deauráto, in quo
|
||||
exprímitur vestítus gloriósæ immortalitátis, quem décuit habére Vírginem in
|
||||
sua Assumptióne. Absit enim ut vestiméntum illud quo opértus est Christus, quod
|
||||
étiam fuit perfécte sanctificátum in terra per Verbum incarnátum, fiat cibus
|
||||
vérmium. Sicut décuit Christum dare grátiam Matri suæ pleníssimam in sua
|
||||
Conceptióne, sic décuit tribúere pleníssimam glóriam in ipsíus Matris
|
||||
Assumptióne. Et ídeo tenéndum est quod Virgo, gloriósa in ánima et córpore,
|
||||
sédeat juxta Fílium.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
María Regína est et dispensátrix grátiæ, quod designátum fuit in libro Esther,
|
||||
ubi dícitur: Parvus fons qui crevit in flúvium, et in lucem et solem convérsus
|

est. Virgo Maria sub figura Esther comparátur diffusióni fontis et lúminis,

propter diffusiónem grátiæ quantum ad dúplicem usum, actiónis licet et
|
||||
contemplatiónis. Grátia enim Dei, quæ est medicatíva géneris humáni, per ipsam
|
||||
ad nos descéndit quasi per aquædúctum, quia ad ipsam Vírginem pértinet
|
||||
dispensátio grátiæ non per modum princípii, sed per modum mériti. Mérito ígitur

Virgo María est excellentíssima Regína in comparatiónem ad plebem, cum

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of the great King by reason of a noble
|
||||
kind of conception, according to the message given her by the Angel. Behold, he
|
||||
said, thou shalt conceive and shalt bring forth a son; and again, the Lord God
|
||||
will give him the throne of David his father, and he shall be king over the
|
||||
house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. This is as if
|
||||
to say in so many words, Thou wilt conceive and bear a son who is King,
|
||||
eternally reigning on the royal throne, and as Queen thou wilt be seated on the
|
||||
royal throne. For if it becometh a son to give honour to his mother, it is also
|
||||
fitting that he share his royal throne with her; and so the Virgin Mary,
|
||||
because she conceived him on whose thigh was written, King of kings and Lord of
|
||||
lords, was Queen not only of earth but also of heaven as soon as she conceived
|
||||
the Son of God. This is indicated in the Apocalypse where it saith: A great
|
||||
sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under
|
||||
her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Mary the Queen outshineth all others in glory, as the Prophet clearly showeth
|
||||
in the Psalm which particularly concerns Christ and the Virgin Mary. It first
|
||||
saith of Christ: Thy throne, O God, standeth forever and ever, and shortly
|
||||
thereafter of the Virgin: The Queen taketh her place at thy right hand, that
|
||||
is, in the position of highest blessedness, for it referreth to glory of soul.
|
||||
It continueth: In garments of gold, by which is meant the clothing of glorious
|
||||
immortality which was proper to the Virgin in her Assumption. For it could not
|
||||
be that the garment which clothed Christ, the garment completely sanctified on
|
||||
earth by the incarnate Word, should be the food of worms. As it was fitting for
|
||||
Christ to grant the fullness of grace to his Mother at her Conception, so was
|
||||
it fitting that he grant her the fullness of glory at her Assumption. And so we

are to hold that the Virgin, glorious in soul and body, is enthroned next to
|

her Son.
|
||||
|

|

Mary the Queen is also the distributrix of grace. This is indicated in the book
|
||||
of Esther, where it is said: The little spring which grew into a river and was
|
||||
turned into a light and into the sun. The Virgin Mary, under the type of
|
||||
Esther, is compared to the outpouring of a spring and of light, because of the
|
||||
diffusion of grace for two uses, that is, for action and for contemplation. For
|
||||
the grace of God, which is a healing for the human race, descendeth to us
|
||||
through her as if through an aqueduct, since the dispensing of grace is
|
||||
attributed to the Virgin not as to its beginning, but because of her position
|
||||
through merit. By position the Virgin Mary is a most excellent Queen towards
|
||||
her people: she obtaineth forgiveness, overcometh strife, distributeth grace,
|
||||
and thereby she leadeth them to glory.

Antoninus, Florentiæ honestis parentibus natus, ab ipsa jam pueritia egregium
|

futuræ sanctitatis specimen exhibuit. Annum agens sextum decimum, religionem
|
||||
Prædicatorum amplexus, cœpit exinde maximis clarere virtutibus. Otio perpetuum
|

bellum indixit. Post nocturnum brevem somnum primus matutinis precibus aderat;

Antonine was born of respectable parents at Florence, and the holiness of his
|
||||
after life was foreshadowed in him even as a little child. When he was sixteen
|
||||
years of age he entered the Order of Friars Preachers, and from that time forth
|
||||
he was a burning and a shining light to all the godly. He proclaimed a truceless
|
||||
war against idleness; after a short night's rest, he was the first to come to the
|
||||
service of Mattins; when they were over he spent the rest of the night in prayer,
|
||||
or at least in reading, or writing out books, or if sleep altogether overcame his
|
||||
weary body, he would rest against the wall with his head bowed down, and then
|
||||
shake off slumber again, and set himself anew with fresh eagerness to his sacred
|
||||
watch.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He required of himself the most unflinching observance of the Rule of his Order,
|
||||
and never ate meat unless he were grievously ill. He slept upon the ground or
|
||||
upon bare boards. He always wore haircloth, and sometimes an iron girdle which
|
||||
bit into his naked skin. His virginity he kept ever undimmed by the least breath
|
||||
or shadow. He was so skilful in giving advice that he gained the common nickname
|
||||
of "Counsel Antonine." At the same time so beautifully brilliant was his
|
||||
lowliness, that even when he was at the head of houses and provinces of his
|
||||
Order, he most cheerfully undertook all the meanest services of the houses where
|
||||
he was. Eugenius IV. appointed him Archbishop of Florence, and he took it so ill,
|
||||
that it was only when awed by the threats of the Apostolic See that he obeyed,
|
||||
and accepted the dignity.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As Archbishop it can hardly be told how noble he was, in wisdom, in godliness, in
|
||||
love, in meekness, in Priestly zeal. It was wonderful to see how thoroughly he
|
||||
taught himself nearly all the sciences, without the help of a master. At last,
|
||||
after much work, and publishing many valuable books on Doctrine, he received the
|
||||
Holy Eucharist and was anointed, and then, clasping the image of his crucified
|
||||
Saviour to his heart, joyfully welcomed death, on the 2nd day of May, in the year
|
||||
1459. He was remarkable for the working of miracles, both during his life and
|
||||
after his death, and Adrian VI. enrolled his name among those of the Saints, in
|
||||
the year 1523.

Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Apostle of the English,
|
||||
was sent into England by blessed Gregory, and came thither in the year 597. At
|
||||
that time there was in Kent a most mighty king named Ethelbert, whose power
|
||||
reached even to the Humber. When this King had heard wherefore the holy man was
|
||||
come, he received him kindly, and bade him and his companions, who were all
|
||||
monks, to come to his own capital city of Canterbury; being struck with
|
||||
astonishment at the perfect blamelessness of their lives, and the power of the
|
||||
heavenly doctrine which they preached, and which God confirmed with signs
|
||||
following.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
They drew nigh to the city in solemn procession, singing the Litany, and
|
||||
bearing before them for their standard a silver cross and a picture of the Lord
|
||||
our Saviour painted on a panel. Hard by the city, upon the east side, there was
|
||||
a Church builded of old time in honour of St. Martin, and wherein the Queen, who
|
||||
was a Christian, was used to pray. There they first began to meet together, to
|
||||
sing, to pray, to celebrate Masses, to preach, and to baptize, until the King was
|
||||
turned to the faith, and the most part of his people were led by his example,
|
||||
(but not his authority,) to take the name of Christian, for he had learnt from
|
||||
his teachers and his own soul's physicians, that men are to be drawn, and not
|
||||
driven to heaven. And now Augustine, being ordained Archbishop of the English
|
||||
and of Britain, lest he should leave untravailed any part of the Lord's
|
||||
vineyard, asked from the Apostolic See a new band of labourers, Mellitus,
|
||||
Justus, Paulinus, and Rufinian.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Having arranged the affairs of his church, Augustine held a synod with the
|
||||
bishops and doctors of the ancient Britons, who had long been at variance with
|
||||
the Roman Church in the celebration of Easter and other rites. But since he
|
||||
could not move them, either by the authority of the apostolic see or by
|
||||
miracles, to put an end to these variations, in a prophetic spirit he foretold
|
||||
their ruin. At length, after having endured many difficulties for Christ, and
|
||||
having become noted for miracles, when he had placed Mellitus in charge of the
|
||||
church of London, Justus of that of Rochester, and Laurence in charge of his own
|
||||
church, he passed to heaven on the 26th day of May, in the reign of Ethelbert,
|
||||
and was buried in the monastery of St. Peter, which thereafter became the
|
||||
burying-place of the bishops of Canterbury and of some kings. The English
|
||||
people honoured his memory with fervent zeal; and the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII
|
||||
extended his Office and Mass to the universal Church.

Dearly beloved brethren, our Lord and Saviour doth sometimes admonish us by
|
||||
words, and sometimes by works. Yea, His very works do themselves teach us; for
|
||||
that which He doth silently His example still moveth us to copy. Behold how He
|
||||
sendeth forth His disciples to preach by two and two; since there are two
|
||||
commandments to love, that is, a commandment to love God, and a commandment to
|
||||
love our neighbour; and where there are not two, the one, being alone, hath not
|
||||
whereon to do the Lord's commandment. And no man can properly be said to love
|
||||
himself: for love tendeth outward toward our neighbour, if it be the love
|
||||
whereto the Gospel doth oblige us.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Behold, the Lord sendeth forth His disciples to preach by two and two; and thus
|
||||
doing, He doth silently teach us that whosoever loveth not his neighbour, such
|
||||
an one it behoveth not to take upon him the office of a preacher. Well also is
|
||||
it said that He sent them before His face into every city and place whither He
|
||||
Himself would come. The Lord followeth His preachers; first cometh preaching,
|
||||
and then the Lord Himself cometh to the house of our mind, whither the word of
|
||||
exhortation hath come before; and so cometh the truth into our mind.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore to preachers saith Isaiah: "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
|
||||
straight an highway for our God." And again the Psalmist saith: "Spread a path
|
||||
before Him That rideth upon the West." The Lord rideth upon the West; above
|
||||
that from which in death He veiled His glory, hath He royally exalted that
|
||||
glory that excelleth, even the glory of His rising again. He rideth upon the
|
||||
West, Who, being risen again from the dead, is throned high above the death to
|
||||
which He bowed. Before Him, therefore, That rideth upon the West, we spread a
|
||||
path, when we set forth His glory before the eyes of your mind, to the end that
|
||||
He Himself may come after, and Himself enlighten the same your minds by His
|
||||
presence and His love.

Bernardinus Albizesca, nobili Senénsi família ortus, ab ineunte ætate non

Gravi morbo tentatus, eoque ad quatuor menses patientíssime toleráto, demum

|
||||
This Bernardine was born of the noble family of the Albizeschi, in the Republic
|
||||
of Siena. His saintliness began to manifest itself from his earliest years. He
|
||||
was well brought up by a godly father and mother, and even when he was being
|
||||
taught the first rudiments of worldly learning, he used to give up his
|
||||
play-time to occupy himself with devout works, being much drawn to fasting,
|
||||
prayer, and the devotion to the most Blessed Virgin. He abounded likewise in
|
||||
tenderness for the poor. As time went on, that he might the more entirely do
|
||||
these things, it was his will to enroll himself among those who work in the
|
||||
Hospital of Blessed Mary, called "of the Ladder," at Sienna. There, during the
|
||||
raging of an horrible distemper, he laboured with marvellous charity and great
|
||||
bodily suffering, in serving the sick. In bodily presence he was a very goodly
|
||||
person, but, with all his other virtues, he kept ever so holy a guard over his
|
||||
purity, that it soon came to pass that no one, however shameless, dared to say
|
||||
an unseemly word in his presence.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He suffered a severe sickness, and when, after bearing it with the utmost
|
||||
patience, he recovered his health, he began to think of embracing some
|
||||
institute of the religious life. To make his way sure, he built a little hut in
|
||||
the outskirts of the city, where he hid himself and led a life of hardships of
|
||||
all kinds, continuing instant in prayer to God that He would be pleased to make
|
||||
clear to him what path he should follow. And so it came to pass by God's will
|
||||
that he chose the Order of Blessed Francis. In that Order he shone a bright
|
||||
instance of lowliness, long-suffering, and every other grace of a religious
|
||||
man. When the superior of his convent saw this, and had already considered what
|
||||
his teaching and knowledge of sacred learning were, he laid on Bernardine the
|
||||
duty of preaching. This the Saint humbly accepted, and finding that his
|
||||
usefulness was much impaired by his having a shrill, harsh voice, he betook him
|
||||
to implore the help of God, Who was pleased, not without a miracle, to free him
|
||||
from this drawback.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Those were times fruitful in vices and crimes and the bloody civil wars which
|
||||
raged in Italy confounded all things Divine and human. Bernardine went through
|
||||
the cities and towns, and, in the Name of Jesus, that Name which he ever bore
|
||||
upon his lips and in his heart, he prevailed in great measure by his word and
|
||||
example, in setting up falling godliness and morality. Illustrious cities
|
||||
demanded him from the Pope as their Bishop, but this was an honour which his
|
||||
unconquerable humility caused him always steadily to refuse. At last the man of
|
||||
God, after untold labours, the working of many and great miracles, and the
|
||||
writing of godly and learned books, in the 67th year of his age, at Aquila in

Joánnes Baptista de la Salle, Rhemis claro genere ortus, puer adhuc móribus et

|

Adoléscens in Rheménsi academía litteras ac philosophicas disciplínas didicit:

John Baptist de La Salle, born of an honourable family at Reims, when still a boy
|
||||
shewed by his manners and actions that he was called by destiny to the Lord, and
|
||||
was to be adorned with the excellence of holiness. As a youth he studied
|
||||
literature and the philosophical sciences at the academy at Rheims. During this
|
||||
time, although his mental powers and his lively and pleasant disposition
|
||||
endeared him to all, he nevertheless shrank from the company of his fellows, so
|
||||
that, being inclined to solitude, he might the more easily find time for God.
|
||||
Already having been for some time enlisted in the ranks of the clergy, he was
|
||||
enrolled among the canons of Reims at the age of sixteen years. He went to Paris
|
||||
to study theology at the university of the Sorbonne, and was admitted to the
|
||||
Sulpician seminary. But he was soon forced to return home because of the death
|
||||
of his parents, and undertook the education of his brothers, which he carried
|
||||
on, without meanwhile interrupting his sacred studies, and with the greatest
|
||||
success, as was proved by subsequent events.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He was finally ordained priest, and said his first Mass with the intense faith
|
||||
and ardour of the soul which, throughout his whole life, he brought to those
|
||||
holy Mysteries. Meanwhile, burning with zeal for the salvation of souls, he
|
||||
devoted himself wholly to their service. He undertook the direction of the
|
||||
Sisters of the Infant Jesus, founded for the education of girls; and not only
|
||||
managed them most prudently, but saved their institute from dissolution. From
|
||||
this time onwards, he turned his attention to the education of poor boys in
|
||||
religion and good morals. And God had raised him up for this very end, namely,
|
||||
that he should found in his Church a new family of religious men, and should
|
||||
look after boys' schools, especially of poor boys, with unceasing and efficient
|
||||
care. And, indeed, this duty, entrusted to him by Divine providence, was
|
||||
successfully accomplished, in spite of very much opposition and great
|
||||
hardships, by the foundation of an institute of brothers which he named the
|
||||
Christian Schools.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
His male associates in this great and arduous work he at first received into his
|
||||
own house; and then, establishing them in a more suitable dwelling, thoroughly
|
||||
inspired them with his method and with those wise laws and regulations which
|
||||
were afterwards confirmed by Benedict XIII. Because of humility and love of
|
||||
poverty, he first resigned his canonry and distributed all his property among
|
||||
the poor; and later also, after many unsuccessful attempts to do so, he of his
|
||||
own will resigned the government of the institute which he had founded. But
|
||||
meanwhile his solicitude for the brothers and for the schools which he opened in
|
||||
different places did not lessen, though he began to give himself more diligently
|
||||
to God. Shewing his hatred for self in constant fastings, in the use of the
|
||||
discipline and in other austerities, he spent his nights in prayer. At length,
|
||||
conspicuous for every kind of virtue, especially obedience, and zeal for
|
||||
fulfilling the divine will, and love and devotion to the Apostolic See, full of
|
||||
merit, and having devoutly received the sacraments, he fell asleep in the Lord
|
||||
in the sixty-eighth year of his age. The Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII placed him in
|
||||
the list of the Blessed; and, illustrious by new miracles, he was adorned with
|
||||
honours of the Saints in the year of jubilee, 1900. Pius XII appointed him the
|
||||
special heavenly patron of all teachers of boys and young men.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones, saith the Lord, for
|
||||
their Angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. It was
|
||||
as though he had said: It was for them that I came, because this is the will of
|
||||
my Father. Thus doth he make it our duty to be full of thought and care for the
|
||||
protection and safety of these little ones. Ye see what vast ramparts he hath
|
||||
built for the protection of the little ones, and how much care and trouble he
|
||||
hath taken that they shall not be lost; yea, he pronounceth extreme penalties on
|
||||
them that despise them; and for them that undertake to care wholeheartedly for
|
||||
them he promiseth most high rewards. And all these things of his teaching, he
|
||||
doth further enforce by his own example and by the example of the eternal
|
||||
Father himself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Let us therefore take to heart what the Lord saith, and imitate his example. Let
|
||||
us neglect nothing which it is in our power to do for these our little brothers
|
||||
and sisters. Let us be ready to undertake any work on their behalf, even the
|
||||
most homely and mean (that is, homely and mean in the eyes of men). And if there
|
||||
should be some further need of our assistance, even to the point of
|
||||
self-denying and laborious effort on our part, let us render it graciously; and
|
||||
let us do these things the more so when our help is required for one that is
|
||||
tiny and unloved and unwanted. And let us practice ourselves in these things
|
||||
until they become tolerable to us, and even easy, because we do them for the
|
||||
sake of one who is our little brother or sister in Christ. For God hath made
|
||||
evident that every soul is worthy of so much diligent care that he spared not
|
||||
his own Son for the sake of such.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If it be not enough for our salvation that we ourselves live virtuously, but we
|
||||
should desire in very truth the salvation of others; what shall we answer, if we
|
||||
do not live right nor teach others? What hope of salvation will remain unto us?
|
||||
What is nobler than to rule minds or to mould the character of the young? I
|
||||
consider that he who knoweth how to form the youthful mind is truly greater than
|
||||
all painters, sculptors, and all others of that sort.

|

morum suavitate ac pietatis studio in omnium admiratione fuit. Tredecim annos

natus visus est Dei consilio Romam mitti, ut apostoli munus in ea expleret.
|

Inter ephebos Collegii Romani Societatis Jesu adlectus, ingenio et virtute
|

præluxit. Curabat impense, ut ii Mariano sodalitio frequentes adessent, in
|

nosocomiis segris ministrarent, honestaque animarum recreatione retraherentur a
|
||||
noxiis; interim cælestia sermonibus pertractans segniores excitabat, ac proinde

||||
Apostoli agnomen adeptus est. Ob asperam corporis castigationem gravi morbo
|

correptus, ab usitata sibi studiorum severitate aliquantum remittere coactus
|

fuit: quod divinitus factum ajebat, ne scientia inflatus sua potius quæreret,

quam quæ Jesu Christi. Clericali militiæ adscriptus sacris disciplinis in sancti

nullum, ne oblatum quidem, ecclesiasticum beneficium acceptandi, nisi

obedientia adigeretur, singulari voto se obstrinxerit.
|
||||
|
||||
|

De spirituali proximorum salute jam ab adolescentia sollicitus, sacerdos factus
|
||||
in id totum se devovit. Ecclesiasticos viros, sacras virgines, oppidanos,
|
||||
carcere detentos, imam plebem universam mira suavitate, verbi ministerio ad
|
||||
virtutis amórem inflammabat. Plures quotidie horas rudiorum confessionibus
|
||||
excipiendis impendens, ægrotis aderat vel in domibus vel in valetudinarus,
|
||||
præsertim phisicis, quos sui veluti juris esse affirmabat. Hac illac per urbem
|
||||
alacer advolans, innumeris operibus præsto erat: at assiduus in sanctæ Gallæ
|
||||
hospitio versabatur, ut pauperes, quos carissimos habuit, omni ope juvaret. Ob
|
||||
id a decimo quinto ætatis anno adjunctus sacerdotum cœtui, qui eisdem
|
||||
evangelizando addicti sunt, ibi apostolatus sui rationem didicit, ipsiusque
|
||||
societatis opera instauravit et auxit. Eadem misericordia motus egenorum omnium
|

necessitatibus sublevandis modicam suam substantiam impendit. Perennes autem
|

infatigabilis sui zeli fructus reliquit, satellitum, vagorum, rudium

institutionem, catecheses ad sancte Pascha celebrandum, certam custodiam
|

Caritatis in Deum ardor ex ejus ore emicabat, dum sacris operabatur, nec sine

quotidiano laudum præconio. Philippi Nerii spiritu imbui studens, et in omnes

|

John Baptist de Rossi was born of a respectable family at Voltaggio, in the
|
||||
diocese of Genoa, and, as a child, was the wonder of all on account of his
|
||||
gentleness and godliness. At thirteen years of age the good providence of God
|
||||
sent him to Rome, where he was destined afterwards to do the work of an
|
||||
Apostle. As a student at the Roman College he was distinguished both for his
|
||||
talents and his goodness. He was very anxious that his comrades should attend
|
||||
regularly the meetings of the guild of the Blessed Virgin, should minister to
|
||||
the sick in hospitals, and should be diverted from objectionable recreations by
|
||||
harmless amusements; at the same time he stirred up the more sluggish by his
|
||||
words on heavenly things, and from that time got the surname of Apostle. He fell
|
||||
seriously ill on account of his severe treatment of his own body, and was
|
||||
therefore obliged to relax somewhat the earnestness of his studies. This he was
|
||||
accustomed to say was God's dealing with him that he might not be puffed up
|
||||
with knowledge, and so seek his own rather than those things which are Jesus
|
||||
Christ's. After joining the clergy he went through the sacred training in the
|
||||
College of St. Thomas, where he went from strength to strength, and then with
|
||||
deep joy of soul received the Priesthood. He so chose the Lord to be his own
|
||||
inheritance, that he bound himself by a special vow not to accept any church
|
||||
benefice, even if it were offered him quite unsolicited, unless he were
|
||||
compelled to do so by obedience.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After he became a Priest, he devoted himself entirely to the spiritual health of
|
||||
his neighbours, which had been his care from his youth up. By the ministry of
|
||||
the Word, with wonderful gentleness he stirred up to the love of good alike
|
||||
ecclesiastics, holy virgins, citizens, prisoners, and the whole lowest class of
|
||||
the population. He spent several hours every day in hearing the confessions of
|
||||
the illiterate, and visited in their homes or in hospitals the sick, and
|
||||
especially the consumptive, of whom he spoke as his own. He hurried about the
|
||||
city, and took part in countless good works, but was especially careful in
|
||||
visiting the hospital of St. Galla, to help in every way he could the poor, whom
|
||||
he held as a special object of affection. From his fifteenth year he was joined
|
||||
to a body of Priests whose special work was preaching to the poor, with them he
|
||||
learnt his apostleship, and he arranged and disseminated their labours. The same
|
||||
pity caused him to spend his modest substance in relieving the necessities of
|
||||
the needy. He left behind him abiding fruits of his unwearied zeal for the
|
||||
instruction of servants, wanderers, and the illiterate classes for the holy
|
||||
celebration of Easter, an home of refuge for the safe keeping of the lost women
|
||||
who wander through the city by night, but above all the earnestness for the
|
||||
salvation of souls aroused among the clergy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The brightness of his love of God shone forth in his face while he was
|
||||
officiating, and he could not speak of His goodness without tears. He was
|
||||
forced, out of obedience, to accept a Canon's stall in the collegiate church of
|
||||
St. Mary in Cosmedin, and during the psalmody he seemed to become entranced. He
|
||||
was very careful as to the sacred ceremonies, sought the beauty of the house of
|
||||
God, and freely contributed of his means to that object. He communicated to
|
||||
others his own love towards the Mother of God, and he promoted her worship in
|
||||
his own church, where he instituted a daily sermon in her honour, in addition
|
||||
to her Office. He sought to fill himself with the spirit of Philip Neri, and
|
||||
while he was devout towards all the dwellers in heaven, he promoted increased
|
||||
honour for the princes of the Apostles; he was constant in prayer and in every
|
||||
good work, and rich in gifts of grace. At length in the hospital called that of
|
||||
the Most Holy Trinity, whither he had withdrawn to live along with the Priests,
|
||||
broken down by work, he reached the end of life, and when he had received the
|
||||
sacraments of the Church, and again exhorted to works of charity and to the
|
||||
care of the poor, he died in the Lord's kiss upon the 23rd day of May, in the
|
||||
year of Christ 1764, and of his own age the sixty-sixth. God was pleased to
|
||||
mark by miracles so remarkable an example of priestly grace, and when these had
|
||||
been duly proved, the Supreme Pontiff Pius IX., upon the 13th day of May, in the
|
||||
year 1860, ascribed to him the honours paid to the blessed in heaven. As new
|
||||
signs still distinguished him, Leo XIII., upon the 8th day of December, in the
|
||||
year 1881, enrolled him among the Saints.

This Mary Magdalen was born of the noble Florentine family of the Pazzi. She
|
||||
was hardly out of her cradle when she set her feet in the path of perfection.
|
||||
At ten years of age she made a vow of perpetual virginity, and took the habit of
|
||||
the Order of Mount Carmel, in the convent of Saint Mary of the Angels. In that
|
||||
sisterhood she was in all ways a pattern to all. She was pure to that degree,
|
||||
that she did not even know of the existence of anything which can hurt
|
||||
modesty. For the space of five years, by the command of God, she lived upon
|
||||
nothing but bread and water, the Lord's Day only excepted, in which she used
|
||||
the food which is taken in Lent. She chastised her body with hair-cloth,
|
||||
scourging, cold, hunger, watching, nakedness, and all manner of hardships.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The love of God was so hot within her, that she was sometimes fain to bathe
|
||||
her breast with cold water to allay the agitation. She was oftentimes rapt in
|
||||
the spirit, and that most marvellously, for whole days at a time, during which
|
||||
trances she saw things hidden and heavenly, and was enlightened of God with
|
||||
great gifts. But after all these things she had a stern tussling with the
|
||||
prince of the darkness of this world, while God allowed her spirit to remain
|
||||
dry, deserted, abandoned by all, and tormented with diverse temptations. And
|
||||
all that while she remained an example of unconquered patience and the deepest
|
||||
lowly-mindedness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
She was very remarkable for her tender love toward her neighbours. Sometimes
|
||||
she went whole nights without sleep, while she was working for the service of
|
||||
the sisters, or waiting upon the sick. She sometimes healed sores even by
|
||||
licking them. That there should be unbelievers and sinners perishing caused her
|
||||
bitter weeping, and she offered herself to God to suffer for their conversion
|
||||
whatsoever He chose. For many years, therefore, before her death, her mighty
|
||||
charity towards others, made her freely to give up that heavenly joy of spirit,
|
||||
wherewith she had once so overflowed. She had often in her mouth the words: To
|
||||
suffer, not to die. At length, in the forty-second year of her age, after a
|
||||
long and grievous sickness, the Bridegroom came, and she entered with Him into
|
||||
the marriage-chamber. Clement IX, finding that God had glorified her by many
|
||||
miracles, both during her life and after her death, enrolled her name among
|
||||
those of the Holy Virgins. Her body, up to the present day, has never shown the
|
||||
least sign of corruption.

Paschalis Baylon, paupéribus piisque paréntibus in oppido Turris Formosæ,
|
||||
Seguntinæ diœcesis, in Aragónia natus, a téneris annis plura dedit futuræ
|
||||
sanctitátis indicia. Sortítus ánimam bonam ac rerum cæléstium appríme studiosam,
|
||||
puerítiam atque adolescéntiam in gregis custódia transegit; quam ille vivéndi
|
||||
ratiónem ideo præcipue diligebat, quod humilitáti fovendæ ac innocéntiæ
|
||||
conservandæ in primis utilem atque opportunam judicáret. Erat in victu modicus,
|
||||
in oratióne assiduus, tantáque apud coævos et socios florebat auctoritate et
|
||||
grátia, ut eórum lites compónens, erróres corrigens, ignorantiam erudiens ac

Qui vero in sæculo, terra nempe desérta et inaquósa, adeo feliciter adoléverat,

Minórum strictioris observantiæ Discalceatórum cooptatus, exsultávit ut gigas ad
|
||||
curréndam viam suam; totumque se Dómino excoléndum tradens, dies noctesque
|
||||
cogitabat, qua se ratióne magis ei magisque conformaret. Ita factum est brevi, ut
|
||||
eum, tamquam seraphicæ perfectiónis exemplar, ipsi quoque provectiores imitándum
|
||||
sibi propónerent. Ipse autem in humili serviéntium gradu constitútus, se velut
|
||||
ómnium peripséma réputans, ardua quæque et abjecta domus ministeria, véluti jure
|
||||
quodam peculiari sibi débita, summa cum hilaritate suscipiebat, et exercebat

|

Paschal Baylon was the son of poor and godly parents, in the town of Torre
|
||||
Hermosa, and Diocese of Sagunta in Aragon. From his childhood he gave
|
||||
indications of a holy life. He was naturally of a good disposition, and very
|
||||
wishful to learn about heavenly things. His boyhood and youth he passed in the
|
||||
occupation of a shepherd. This way of life pleased him well, because he thought
|
||||
it one useful and fitted to nourish lowliness and keep innocency. He ate little,
|
||||
and was instant in prayer. He had great weight and favour with his fellows and
|
||||
neighbours, whose quarrels he healed, corrected their mistakes, enlightened
|
||||
their ignorance, and roused them from idleness. They all greatly honoured and
|
||||
loved him, as though he were their father and teacher, and even then many called
|
||||
him "Beato," that is "the Blessed."
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In a world which was to him "a dry land, where no water is" the vallies,
|
||||
"planted in the House of the Lord," whose strange sweetness spread all around.
|
||||
When he took upon him an harder life, by entering the Institute of barefooted
|
||||
Grey Friars, of the strict Observance, "he rejoiced as a strong man to run a
|
||||
race," and gave himself up altogether to serve the Lord, thinking by day and by
|
||||
night only how he might attain more and more to have that mind in him which was
|
||||
also in Christ Jesus. And so it came to pass in a little while, that his very
|
||||
elders set him before them for their model, as a pattern of a man seeking to be
|
||||
perfect in the path of the Seraphic Order. Paschal himself held the lowly place
|
||||
of a lay brother, and deemed himself "the off-scouring of all things." He took
|
||||
most cheerfully, and discharged with the greatest humility and patience, the
|
||||
hardest and meanest work of the house, as though such were his peculiar right.
|
||||
His flesh would sometimes rebel against his spirit, but he broke it under the
|
||||
yoke of mortification, and brought it into subjection. Day by day the spirit of
|
||||
self-denial waxed stronger in him, and "forgetting those things which were
|
||||
behind, he reached forth unto those things which were before."
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Virgin Mother of God he had vowed himself when he was but a little lad, and
|
||||
he paid her every day the services of a son, and trusted her as a mother. It is
|
||||
hard to tell how intense was the love which bound him to the Most Holy Sacrament
|
||||
of the Eucharist, a love which seemed literally stronger than death, for when
|
||||
his dead body was found lying on the bier, its eyes opened and shut twice when
|
||||
the Sacred Host was lifted up, to the amazement of all that were there. When he
|
||||
was among heretics, he suffered much and grievously at their hands for plainly
|
||||
and openly telling the truth touching this Sacrament; they often sought after
|
||||
him to murder him, but by the singular Providence of God he was delivered from
|
||||
those wicked men. When he was at prayer he often became utterly insensible, and
|
||||
his soul fainted away with the love of God. During these trances it was believed
|
||||
that he received directly from heaven that knowledge which he had, and which
|
||||
enabled him, although a man altogether rough and unlettered, to answer the
|
||||
hardest questions upon the mysteries of the faith, and even to write some books.
|
||||
At last, full of good works, he joyfully passed away to be ever with the Lord,
|
||||
at the hour foretold by himself, on the Feast of Pentecost, the 17th day of May,
|
||||
in the year of salvation 1592, on which day also he had been born fifty-two
|
||||
years before.

nobili Ghisleriórum família, cum quatuordecim esset annórum, ordinem Prædicatórum

Michael Ghislieri afterwards proclaimed Pope under the name of Pius V, was born
|
||||
at the town of Bosco in the Milanese, but his family was a noble one of Bologna.
|
||||
At the age of fourteen years he entered the order of Friars Preachers. He was a
|
||||
man marked by a wonderful long-suffering, a deep lowliness, a great hardness of
|
||||
living, an unwavering earnestness in prayer, and a most strong zeal for the
|
||||
perfect observance of the Rule of his Order, and for the greater glory of God. He
|
||||
gave himself to the study of Philosophy and Theology, and was so learned in both,
|
||||
that he discharged for many years with great reputation the duties of a Professor
|
||||
of those sciences. He preached publicly in many places, to the great profit of
|
||||
his hearers. He long did the work of Inquisitor with unflinching spirit, and
|
||||
preserved many cities, not without risk to his own life, from the heresy which
|
||||
was then creeping in everywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Paul IV, to whom his virtues had greatly endeared him, raised him to the united
|
||||
Bishoprics of Nepi and Sutri, and after two years he was enrolled among the
|
||||
Cardinal Priests of the Roman Church. Pius IV. translated him to the Church of
|
||||
Mondovi in Piedmont, wherein, on his coming, he found that many corruptions had
|
||||
crept in. He reformed the whole of his diocese, and, after settling his affairs,
|
||||
returned to Rome, where his attention was called to matters of the gravest
|
||||
business, in determining which he used Apostolic boldness and firmness. After the
|
||||
death of Pius IV, the fifth Pius, to the astonishment of all men, was elected to
|
||||
succeed him. On becoming Pope he changed his way of life in no respect except as
|
||||
regarded his raiment. The Propagation of Religion was to him the object of
|
||||
unceasing care; the restoration of the Discipline of the Church, of unwearied
|
||||
toil; the uprooting of error, of sleepless watchfulness; the relieving the needs
|
||||
of the poor, of unfailing charity; the maintenance of the rights of the Apostolic
|
||||
See, of adamantine firmness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Turkish Sultan Selim was bloated with many victories, and had got together an
|
||||
huge fleet in the Gulf of Lepanto, but Pius V. crushed him, not so much by force
|
||||
of arms as by dint of the prayers wherein he pleaded with God. At the hour that
|
||||
the victory was won, Pius knew it by the inward revelation of God, and stated the
|
||||
fact to his servants. He was busied with the preparations for a new expedition
|
||||
against the Turks, when he was laid down by grievous sickness. He bore most sharp
|
||||
sufferings with the gentlest patience, and when the end came, he received the
|
||||
Sacraments as is usual, and with great peace yielded his spirit to God, in the
|
||||
year of salvation 1572, and of his own age the 68th, having sat as Pope six
|
||||
years, three months, and twenty-four days. His body is buried in the Church of
|
||||
St. Mary, where the Manger from Bethlehem is, and is there held in great respect
|
||||
by the faithful, who have obtained from God by his prayers, many evident
|
||||
miracles. The said miracles having been proved by a judicial investigation Pope
|
||||
Clement XI enrolled his name among those of the Saints.

Robert, a native of Montepulciano and of the noble family of Bellarmine, had for
|
||||
his mother the most pious Cynthia Cervini, sister of Pope Marcellus II. From the
|
||||
first he was conspicuous for exemplary piety and most chaste manners, earnestly
|
||||
desiring this one thing, to please God alone and to win souls to Christ. He
|
||||
attended the college of the Society of Jesus in his native town where he was
|
||||
highly commended for his intelligence and modesty. At the age of eighteen he
|
||||
entered the same Society at Rome, and was a model of all religious virtues.
|
||||
Having passed through the course of philosophy at the Roman College, he was sent
|
||||
first to Florence, then to Monreale, later to Padua to teach sacred theology, and
|
||||
afterwards to Louvain where, not yet a priest, he ably discharged the office of
|
||||
preacher. After ordination at Louvain, he taught theology with such success that
|
||||
he brought back many heretics to the unity of the Church, and was regarded
|
||||
throughout Europe as a most brilliant theologian; and St. Charles, Bishop of
|
||||
Milan, and others keenly sought after him.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Recalled to Rome at the wish of Pope Gregory XIII, he taught the science of
|
||||
controversial theology at the Roman College, and there, as spiritual director he
|
||||
guided the angelic youth Aloysius in the paths of holiness. He governed the Roman
|
||||
College and then the Neapolitan province of the Society of Jesus in accordance
|
||||
with the spirit of St. Ignatius. Again summoned to Rome, he was employed by
|
||||
Clement VIII in the most important affairs of the Church, with the greatest
|
||||
advantage to the Christian state; then against his will and in spite of
|
||||
opposition, he was admitted among the number of the cardinals, because, as the
|
||||
Pontiff publicly declared, he did not have his equal among theologians in the
|
||||
Church of God at the time. He was consecrated bishop by the same Pope, and
|
||||
administered the archdiocese of Capua in a most saintly manner for three years:
|
||||
having resigned this office, he lived in Rome until his death, as a most
|
||||
impartial and trusty counsellor to the Supreme Pontiff. He wrote much, and in an
|
||||
admirable manner. His principal merit lieth in his complete victory in the
|
||||
struggle against the new errors, during which he distinguished himself as a
|
||||
strenuous and outstanding vindicator of Catholic tradition and the rights of the
|
||||
Roman See. He gained this victory by following St. Thomas as his guide and
|
||||
teacher, by a prudent consideration of the needs of his times, by his
|
||||
irrefragable teaching, and by a most abundant wealth of testimony well-chosen
|
||||
from the sacred writings and from the very rich fountain of the Fathers of the
|
||||
Church. He is eminently noted for very numerous short works for fostering piety,
|
||||
and especially for that golden Catechism, which he never failed to explain to
|
||||
the young and ignorant both at Capua and at Rome, although preoccupied with
|
||||
other very important affairs. A contemporary cardinal declared that Robert was
|
||||
sent by God for the instruction of Catholics, for the guidance of the good, and
|
||||
for the confusion of heretics; St. Francis de Sales regarded him as a fountain of
|
||||
learning; the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XIV called him the hammer of heretics; and
|
||||
Benedict XV proclaimed him the model of promoters and defenders of the Catholic
|
||||
religion.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He was most zealous in the religious life and he maintained that manner of life
|
||||
after having been chosen as one of the empurpled cardinals. He did not want any
|
||||
wealth beyond what was necessary; he was satisfied with a moderate household, and
|
||||
scanty fare and clothing. He did not strive to enrich his relatives, and he could
|
||||
scarcely be induced to relieve their poverty even occasionally. He had the lowest
|
||||
opinion of himself, and was of wonderful simplicity of soul. He had an
|
||||
extraordinary love for the Mother of God; he spent many hours daily in prayer. He
|
||||
ate very sparingly, and fasted three times a week. Uniformly austere with
|
||||
himself, he burned with charity towards his neighbour, and was often called the
|
||||
father of the poor. He earnestly strove that he might not stain his baptismal
|
||||
innocence to even the slightest fault. Almost eighty years old, he fell into his
|
||||
last illness at St. Andrew's on the Quirinal hill, and in it he shewed his usual
|
||||
radiant virtue. Pope Gregory XV and many cardinals visited him on his deathbed,
|
||||
lamenting the loss of such a great pillar of the Church. He fell asleep in the
|
||||
Lord in the year 1621, on the day of the sacred Stigmata of St. Francis, the
|
||||
memory of which he had been instrumental in having celebrated everywhere. The
|
||||
whole city mourned his death, unanimously proclaiming him a Saint. The Supreme
|
||||
Pontiff Pius XI inscribed his name, first, in the number of the Blessed, and then
|
||||
in that of the Saints, and shortly afterwards, by a decree of the Sacred
|
||||
Congregation of Rites, he declared him a Doctor of the universal Church. His body
|
||||
is honoured with pious veneration at Rome in the church of St. Ignatius, near the
|
||||
tomb of St. Aloysius, as he himself had desired.

Just as in God, whom we venerate as one in the Trinity and three in the Unity,
|
||||
there are three things in particular which are especially clear: power, wisdom,
|
||||
and goodness; so also God, beloved listeners, that he might make his special
|
||||
friends and children, our fathers and teachers, very like unto himself and to be
|
||||
esteemed and admired by all nations, wished them to be in the highest degree
|
||||
powerful, wise, excellent, and holy. First, he furnished them with that power, by
|
||||
which they might do many evidently wonderful and extraordinary things, out of
|
||||
the usual course and order of nature, in regard to the elements, trees, brute
|
||||
beasts, and even to mankind. Then, he gave them such wisdom, that they saw not
|
||||
only the past and present, but they even foresaw the future long before, and
|
||||
predicted it. Finally, he enlarged their hearts with very great and burning
|
||||
charity, enabling them not only to enter whole-heartedly on their labours, but
|
||||
also to influence those whom they were about to convert, as well by their
|
||||
example and holy life, as by their preaching and miracles.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And so, the whole world knew how pious, how just, how religious were the
|
||||
preachers of our law, both those who first brought to us the faith and the
|
||||
Gospel, and those whom God thereafter stirred up in every age to confirm or
|
||||
propagate that same faith. And first, consider the Apostles. What could be
|
||||
better or more sublime than the Apostles' way of life? Next, consider those holy
|
||||
men whom we call Fathers and Doctors, those most shining lights which God hath
|
||||
ordained should shine in the firmament of the Church, that all the darkness of
|
||||
heresy might be dispersed, such as Irenaeus, Cyprian, Hilary, Athanasius, Basil,
|
||||
the two Gregories, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Chrysostom, and Cyril. Do not
|
||||
their lives and conduct shine forth in the records, which they have left us, as
|
||||
in a special kind of mirror? For out of the fulness of the heart the mouth
|
||||
speaketh.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Consider, I ask you, the humility, together with the most profound learning,
|
||||
which appeareth in the books of the holy fathers. What moderation! Nothing
|
||||
offensive there, nothing unseemly, no cunning, nothing assuming, nothing
|
||||
pompous. How the manifold working of the Holy Spirit, who dwelt in their hearts,
|
||||
revealeth itself in their pages! Who can read Cyprian attentively without
|
||||
immediately longing for martyrdom? Who can assiduously turn over the pages of
|
||||
Augustine without learning the most profound humility? Who can open Jerome
|
||||
frequently without beginning to love virginity and fasting? The writings of the
|
||||
saints breathe forth religion, chastity, integrity, and charity. Such then are
|
||||
our bishops and pastors (to use the words of the heavenly Augustine), learned
|
||||
men, eminent, holy, intelligent, defenders of the truth, who have taken in the
|
||||
Catholic faith as their milk, and have consumed it as food: and this milk and
|
||||
food they have ministered to great and small. Since the Apostles, holy Church
|
||||
hath flourished by such planters, waterers, builders, shepherds, and nurses.

Venantius Camers, quindecim annos natus, cum christianæ religiónis accusarétur
|
||||
apud Antíochum, qui sub Decio imperatóre Camerino præerat, in porta civitátis
|
||||
præsidi se obtulit. Quem ille pollicitatiónibus ac terróribus diu tentátum,
|
||||
flagris cædi et vinculis astringi jussit; sed is mirabíliter ab Angelo solutus,
|
||||
lampadibus póstea aduritur, atque inverso ore, fumo supposito, suspénditur. Ejus
|
||||
constantiam in tormentis demirátus Anastasius Cornicularius, et quod eum ab
|
||||
Angelo íterum solutum cándida veste supra fumum ambulántem vidísset, in Christum
|
||||
credidit; et a beato Porphyrio presbytero cum família baptizatus, paulo post
|
||||
martyrii palmam cum eodem promeruit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
At Venantius præsidi sistitur, et ab eo íterum frustra tentátus ut Christi fidem
|
||||
deséreret, in carcerem conjícitur; quo Attalus præco mittitur, qui ei dicat se
|
||||
quoque christianum fuísse et ei nómini proptérea renuntiásse, quod cognovísset
|
||||
inane esse fidei comméntum, quo Christiáni præséntibus se ábdicant ob vanam
|
||||
futurórum spem. Verum nobilis Christi athleta, callidi hostis insidias non
|
||||
ignorans, diaboli ministrum a se pénitus rejécit. Quare ad præsidem íterum
|
||||
adducto omnes contusi sunt dentes maxillæque confractæ; atque, ita cæsus, in
|
||||
sterquilinium dejícitur. Sed inde ab Angelo quoque ereptus, rursus stetit ante
|
||||
judicem; qui, Venantio adhuc loquente, e tribunali cécidit, et in ea voce, Verus
|
||||
est Venantii Deus, nostros deos destrúite, exclámans exspirávit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quod cum præsidi nuntiátum esset, extemplo Venántium leónibus óbjici jussit;
|
||||
qui, naturali feritáte omissa, ad ejus se pedes abjecérunt. Interim ille pópulum
|
||||
Christi fidem edocébat. Quare inde amotus, íterum in carcerem traditur. Cumque
|
||||
postridie præsidi referret Porphyrius, se per visum noctu pópulos, quos
|
||||
Venantius aqua tingebat, claríssima luce fulgéntes, ipsum vero præsidem
|
||||
obscuríssima caligine operátum vidisse; præses, ira incénsus, eum illico cápite
|
||||
plecti imperat, deínde Venántium per loca vépribus et cárduis cónsita trahi
|
||||
usque ad vésperam. Is, cum semiánimis relíctus esset, mane se íterum præsidi
|
||||
præsentávit; cujus jussu statim e rupe præcipitátur. Sed inde étiam divinitus
|
||||
ereptus, denuo per loca aspera ad mille passus trahitur; ubi, milítibus siti
|
||||
æstuántibus, in próxima convalle, ex lápide, in quo et genuum formam relíquit,
|

sicut étiam nunc in ejus ecclésia vidére licet, crucis signo a Venantio facto,

aquæ manarunt. Eo miraculo plures permoti in Christum credidérunt, quos omnes

|

témpore ita magni fuére, ut præses aufugeret; qui paucis tamen post diébus,
|
||||
divinam haud valens effugere justítiam, turpíssimam mortem oppétiit. Christiáni

ecclésia Venantio dicata, cóndita adhuc sunt.

|
||||
Venantius was a lad of Camerino (in the neighbourhood of Ancona,) who at fifteen
|
||||
years of age was accused of Christianity before Antiochus, Praefect of Camerino
|
||||
under the Emperor Decius. Venantius therefore appeared before Antiochus at the
|
||||
gate of the city, and when the Praefect had striven with him for a long while,
|
||||
by promises and threats, he commanded him to be scourged and thrown into irons,
|
||||
but an Angel loosed his bonds. He was afterwards scarified with lamps, and hung
|
||||
head downwards in smoke. Anastasius the trumpeter was amazed at his hardiness
|
||||
under suffering, and when it appeared to him that the Martyr was a second time
|
||||
loosed by an Angel, and was walking in white raiment on the smoke, he believed
|
||||
in Christ, and was baptized, with all his house, by the blessed Priest
|
||||
Porphyry, and a little while after they both together earned the palm of
|
||||
martyrdom.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now Venantius stood before the Praefect, and when he had again vainly tempted
|
||||
him to give up his faith in Christ, he cast him into prison, and sent unto him
|
||||
Attalus the crier. Attalus told him how that he also had been a Christian, but
|
||||
had denied that name, seeing it was a foolish faith which made Christians to
|
||||
throw away things present for a groundless hope of things to come. But Christ's
|
||||
brave champion, well knowing the wiles of our subtle enemy, drove the devil's
|
||||
servant from his presence. When he appeared again before the Praefect, his
|
||||
teeth and jaws were broken, and so mangled he was cast out upon a dunghill. But
|
||||
thence also an Angel delivered him, and he stood again before the judge. And
|
||||
there while Venantius was yet speaking, the judge fell from off the
|
||||
judgment-seat, and when he had cried with a loud voice, "Venantius, his God is
|
||||
true, take away our gods," he died.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then they told the President of it, he commanded Venantius to be straightway
|
||||
thrown to the lions. But the beasts were not wild to him, and lay down at his
|
||||
feet. And meanwhile he taught the Christian faith to the people. So they took
|
||||
him away from thence and cast him once more into prison. The next day Porphyry
|
||||
came to the President, and told him how that he had seen in a vision of the
|
||||
night Venantius sprinkling certain ones with water, and they that were sprinkled
|
||||
shone with a marvellous light, and the President himself hidden in deep
|
||||
darkness. Then the President was moved to great anger and commanded forthwith
|
||||
to behead Porphyry. As for Venantius, he bade them drag him about in rough
|
||||
places, full of briars and thistles, until the evening. When it was over, he
|
||||
was left half dead, but in the morning he stood for the last time before the
|
||||
President, who commanded to cast him down from a steep rock. It pleased God
|
||||
that this should not kill him, and he was haled again through rough places for
|
||||
about a mile. There the soldiers were athirst, and Venantius, by the sign of the
|
||||
Cross, made waters to flow from a stone in a gulley hard by. This is that stone
|
||||
whereon also he left the imprint of his knees, and which can be seen to this day
|
||||
in his Church. By this wonder many were moved to believe in Christ and the
|
||||
President commanded them all, and Venantius with them, to be beheaded in the
|
||||
same place where they were. When it was done there were great lightnings and
|
||||
earthquakes, so that the President fled, but he could not fly from the judgment
|
||||
of God, and but a few days thereafter he died a most shameful death. Meanwhile
|
||||
the Christians took the bodies of Venantius and the others, and buried them in
|
||||
an honourable place, wherein they lie to this day, under the Church at Camerino
|
||||
which is dedicated to Venantius.
