The Immaculate Virgin + appeared with a young and kind appearance, clothed with a white garment and white + veil, and girt with a blue girdle; she adorned her bare feet with a golden rose. On + the first day of the apparition, which was the eleventh of February in 1858, she + taught the girl the sign of the cross to be duly and piously made, and she incited + her, by her example, to the recitation of the sacred rosary. On the second day of the + apparition, the girl in the simplicity of her heart, fearing diabolic fraud, flung + holy water on the Virgin; but the blessed Virgin, smiling gently, shewed her face + more kindly to her. And when she appeared a third time, she invited the girl to the + grotto for fifteen days. Thence she often addressed her; then commanded, that it + might be declared to the priests, a chapel to be built there, and to be approached + there for supplications in a manner of solemnity. Moreover she commanded that from + the spring, which thus far was hidden under the sand but now was about to erupt, she + might drink the water, and by it cleanse herself. Finally on the feast day of the + Annunciation, to the girl earnestly inquiring her name, the Virgin, her hands having + been moved to her breast and her eyes raised to heaven, answered: I am the Immaculate + Conception. + + + The fame of favours becoming widespread, which the faithful were said to have + received in the sacred grotto, in time the assembly of men increased, whom the + sanctity of the place called to the grotto. Therefore the bishop of Tarbes moved by + the fame of the wonders and the purity of the girl, after a juridical inquiry of the + happenings, approved by his decree the signs of the apparition to be supernatural, + and permitted the worship of the immaculate Virgin in the same grotto. Soon a chapel + is built: from that day the almost innumerable crowds of the faithful, for the + purpose of prayer and supplication, from France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, and the other + provinces of Europe and also from the remote regions of America arrived there in + every year, and the name of the Immaculate of Lourdes becometh famous of countries + everywhere. The water of the spring, having been carried into all parts of the + world, restored health to the sick. And the Catholic world mindful of such great + favours, built holy shrines there with wonderful work. + + + It is known by all for certain the pilgrimages of this sort to have stirred up faith, + in a world becoming cold, the soul to have increased to profess the Christian law, + and to have spread the worship of the immaculate Virgin in a wonderful manner. Pius + the ninth, with sacred indulgences, distinguished it with the privilege of an + archconfraternity and title of a minor Basilica; and willed the image honoured there + of the Godbearer to be adorned with a crown by his apostolic legate in France. And + Leo the thirteenth also conferred innumerable benefits, and arranged to complete by + his name the solemn dedication of the Church under the title of the Rosary; he + accumulated the extent of which benefits, when, with the asking of many bishops, he + kindly granted a solemn feast to be celebrated under the title of the Apparition of + the blessed Virgin Mary immaculate with a proper Office and proper Mass.

Their names were Bonfiglio Monaldi, + Bonajuncta Manetti, Manetto Antalli, Amadeo de' Amidei, Uguccio de' Uguccioni, + Sosteneo de' Sostenei, and Alexis de' Falconieri. Upon the holiday of the Assumption + of the Virgin into heaven, in the year 1233, they were praying in the oratory of a + guild called the Guild of Praise, when the same Mother of God appeared to each one + of them, and bade them embrace a life of greater holiness and perfection. These seven + men discussed the matter with the Bishop of Florence, and then, considering neither + the nobility of their birth nor their wealth, and clad in haircloth under vile and + worn-out garments, withdrew into a little house in the country upon the eighth day of + September, that they might begin their holier life upon the same day whereon the + Mother of God herself had by her birth begun her life of holiness upon earth. + + + She showed by a miracle how acceptable in His sight should be their manner of life, + for a short while after, when these seven men were begging alms from door to door + through the city of Florence, it came to pass that some children, among whom was + holy Philip Benizi, who had then scarcely entered the fifth month of his age, called + them blessed Mary's servants, by the which name they were called ever after. To + avoid meeting people, and in the desire to be alone, they all withdrew together to + the solitude of Monte Senario, and there began a kind of heavenly life. They lived in + caves and upon herbs and water only, while they wore out their bodies with watching + and other hardships, while they contemplated unweariedly the sufferings of Christ + and the woes of His most sorrowful Mother. One Good Friday, when their thoughts were + fixed thereon more than ever, the Blessed Virgin appeared to them twice, and showed + them her garments of mourning as those wherein they should clothe themselves. She + bade them know that she would take it right well that they should raise up in the + Church a new order to recall the memory of the sorrows which she bore beneath the + Cross of the Lord. Holy Peter, the illustrious martyr of the Order of Friars + Preachers, learnt this not only from his familiar converse with these holy men, but + also from a special vision of the Mother of God, and it was on his incitement that + they founded the regular Order called that of the Servites, or servants of the + Blessed Virgin, the which Order was afterward approved by the Supreme Pontiff + Innocent IV. + + + These holy men, when they had gathered to themselves some companions, began to go + through the cities and towns of Italy, and especially of Tuscany, everywhere + preaching Christ crucified, stilling contests among the citizens, and calling back + almost countless backsliders into the path of grace. Neither did they make Italy + only the field of their Gospel labours, but also France, Germany, and Poland. They + passed away to be ever with the Lord when they had spread far and wide a sweet + savour of Christ, and were famous also for the glory of signs and wonders. As one + love of brotherhood and of the monastic life had joined them together upon earth, so + one grave held their dead bodies, and one honour was paid them by the people. For + this reason the Supreme Pontiffs Clement XI. and Benedict XIII. confirmed the honour + which had for centuries been paid to them individually, and Leo XIII., after proof of + their miracles which had been wrought by God on the common invocation of these + saints, after their veneration had been sanctioned in the jubilee year of his + priesthood, decreed to them the honours paid to Saints, and ordered that their + memory should every year be kept throughout the universal Church with an office and + Mass. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Jerome, Commentary on Matthew, Book III (on Matt 19:27-29)" + text: + la: >- + Grandis fidúcia!

His birth was a + special answer to prayer, and his parents vowed him to the Blessed Virgin. God + fore-showed even before his birth what he was to be. While his mother was great with + child she dreamt that she brought forth a wolf, which ran to the Carmelite Church and + was changed into a lamb as soon as it reached the porch. The lad was brought up in + godliness and learning becoming his rank, but turned to bad courses; wherefore his + mother often rebuked him. Nevertheless, when he knew how his parents had vowed him + to the Maiden Mother of God, the love of God touched his heart, and the vision of + his mother moving him, he betook himself to the Institute of the Carmelites. In that + place the devil exercised him with many and diverse temptations, but could not break + him off from his determination to profess as a friar. He was soon after sent to + Paris, where he finished his studies at the University, and took his degree; after + which he returned to his own country, and was set over the houses of his order in + Tuscany. + + + The Bishop of Fiesole being dead, the Church in that place chose Andrew Corsini for + his successor. He held himself altogether unworthy of that office, and for a long + time lay hidden and unknown, till he was betrayed by the voice of a child + marvellously speaking, and found outside the city. Then, lest he should seem to + resist the Will of God, he took the Bishopric. Being dignified with this office, he + set himself to a more perfect exercise of the virtue of lowliness, whereof he was + already a diligent practiser. He was eminent in watchfulness over the flock + committed to his charge, joining thereto great tenderness and liberality towards the + poor. He continued instant in prayer and watching. Thus was he so adorned with these + and many other virtues, and even with the gift of prophecy, that the fame of his holy + life was in the mouths of all men. + + + Urban V., moved by the fame of his godly conversation, sent him as his Legate to + quiet disturbances at Bologna. He endured much in the discharge of this duty, + calming with great wisdom the angry passions of the citizens, who had broken out + into civil war, and when peace was restored, he returned home. Shortly after, he + received from the Blessed Virgin a warning of his approaching death, and being worn + out with his unceasing toil, and the rigour of his voluntary mortifications, he + passed to the kingdom of heaven, in the year of our Lord 1373, and the 71st of his + own age. His name became illustrious for many and great miracles, and Urban VIII. + enrolled him in the number of the Saints.

As a youth, when studying letters at Spoleto, he seemed for a time to be + allured by the empty beauty and pomp of the world. But by the gift of the merciful + God, who had already called him to the perfection of a Christian life when he had + fallen sick, he began to tire of the vanity of the world, and to desire immortal + treasures alone. But to quicken his obedience to the call of God, it happened that + as he saw the celebrated Image of the Blessed Virgin being carried with solemn pomp + outside the precincts of the church of Spoleto, he experienced the flame of divine + love, and at the same time decided to enter the Institute of the Clerks of the + Passion of Jesus. Therefore, after overcoming no slight difficulties, he joyfully + donned the somber habit in the secluded place of Morrovalle, and chose to be called + Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, to recall forever the memory of her joys and griefs. + + + In the novitiate, day by day he became conspicuous for regular observance and for + the exercise of all the virtues, and in a short time he came to be considered a + pattern of perfect holiness, not only by his companions and his seniors, but also + beyond the confines of the monastery; he became a sweet odour in Christ in every + place. An assiduous devotee of the Lord's Passion, he spent days and nights + meditating upon it. He was drawn by unbelievable zeal towards the Holy Eucharist, a + memorial of that Passion; and when he nourished himself with it, he burned with + seraphic ardour. There was nothing more noticeable than his filial piety towards the + great Mother of God. He was accustomed to pay her honour for every type of devotion, + but especially to contemplate her stricken and afflicted by the sufferings of Jesus, + with such sorrow that he shed floods of tears. The sorrowful Virgin was, as it were, + the whole reason of his being, and the teacher of the holiness that he had acquired. + As a result all his associates shared the one opinion that this servant of God had + been inspired from on high so that the cult of St. Mary of Sorrows through his + example might receive a great increase. + + + Among other virtues, he especially loved Christian humility and obedience; for he + considered himself the least of all. He therefore strove eagerly to do all the most + menial work of the house, and he most diligently performed, not only the direct + commands, but even the unexpressed wishes of his superiors. Curbing his senses, and + accustoming himself to a life of austerity, he retained unfaded the flower of his + virginity, and completely crucified to the world, he lived to God alone, enjoying an + intimate familiarity with his Lord. And so, at Isola in the Abruzzi, filling the + short span of his life with so many noble virtues, consumed by the fire of charity + rather than by disease, and refreshed by the aid of the Mother of God, his soul flew + to heaven in a most peaceful journey in the year 1862, at the age of twenty-four. + Then, as he had been made illustrious by God through miracles, Pope Pius X added him + to the number of the Blessed in heaven. Likewise, the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XV in + 1920, two hundred years after the foundation of the Institute of the Passion, on the + feast of the Ascension of the Lord, decreed the honours of the Saints to the blessed + youth; and Pius XI extended his Office and Mass to the Universal Church. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "The Venerable Bede, Commentary on Mark (on Mark 10:13-21)" + text: + la: >- + Ait discípulis Jesus: Sínite párvulos veníre ad me, et ne prohibuéritis eos; talium + enim est regnum Dei.

It is noteworthy that he saith: + Of such; not: Of these. That is, he is concerned with conduct, not with age; for the + reward is promised to all such as are like unto children, not in age, but in + innocence and simplicity; as saith the Apostle: Be not children in understanding; + howbeit, in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. Verily I say unto + you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not + enter therein. A child doth not for long remain angry or remember an injury; he + taketh no lustful pleasure in looking at a beautiful woman; he doth not think one + thing and say another. In like manner, ye also, unless ye have this innocence and + purity of soul, cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. We are commanded to receive the + kingdom of God (that is, the teaching of the Gospel) like as children, because they, + when learning, do not contradict their teacher, nor adduce reasons and arguments + against them, but trustingly accept what they are taught in respectful silence and + obedience. And the Lord took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and + blessed them. He blesseth the children by taking them up in his arms, to shew that + such as are poor in spirit do merit his blessing, grace, and love. + + + And as he was going forth on his journey, a certain man came running up, and fell + on his knees before him, and asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may + inherit eternal life? Doubtless this seeker after eternal life was one of those who + had heard the Lord say that whoso shall not receive the kingdom of God as little + child shall not enter therein; and therefore, taking the safer course, he asketh + for himself not in parables, but simply and openly, for teaching concerning the + meritorious works by which eternal life is to be gained. Whereupon Christ said: + Thou knowest the commandments. This is the chastity of childlike innocence, which + is proposed for our imitation, if we wish to enter the kingdom of God. But he + answering, said unto him: Master, all these have I observed from my youth. This man + should not be considered as having asked the Lord with a view to tempting him (as + some have thought), or to have lied about his life when he said he had kept the + commandments of the law; but that rather he was trying to explain how he had + hitherto lived. Because, if he be considered guilty of lies and pretence, it would + not have been said of Jesus, who looketh on the secrets of the heart, that he, + beholding him, loved him. + + + For the love of the Lord goeth out to all those who not only keep the commandments + of the law, but have regard even for things which are not of strict precept. Which + latter things he who came not to destroy the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill + them, showeth forth unto such as would be perfect, saying: Sell whatsoever thou + hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, + follow me. Whosoever would be perfect must sell all (not merely in part, as did + Ananias and Sapphira), and thereafter give all to the poor, and thus prepare for + himself a treasure in the kingdom of heaven. But contempt for riches is not enough + to achieve perfection. He must also follow the Saviour, leaving evil and doing + good. For it is easier to spurn the world than the will; and many spurn their + riches, but fail thereafter to follow the Lord. Whosoever would follow him must be + his imitator, and walk in his footsteps.

He went for his education first to + Aix and then to Paris. At the University of Paris, where he went through the course + of Divinity and took the degree of Doctor, he became eminent for learning and virtue. + For this reason the Bishop of Paris ordained him Priest, an honour from which his + lowliness caused him to shrink, in the hope that he should induce him to remain at + Paris, and be a bright example of wisdom and manners to the students who resorted + thither. He offered up the Holy Sacrifice to God for the first time in the private + Chapel of the Bishop, and in the presence of that Prelate and diverse other persons. + In the midst of the ceremony, a vision from God appeared to John. There appeared to + him an angel, clad in raiment white and glistering; having sewn on his breast a + cross of red and blue. His arms were crossed before him, and his hands were upon the + heads of two slaves, one a Christian and the other a Moor. And immediately the man of + God was in the spirit, and knew that he was called to the work of ransoming bondsmen + from the power of the unbelievers. + + + That he might set himself with due forethought to the carrying out of his work, he + withdrew into a certain desert, and there, by the will of God, he found Felix de + Valois, who had already spent many years in that place. With him he joined company, + and they passed three years together in continual prayer, meditation, and all + spiritual exercises. It came to pass, one day, when they were sitting on the bank of + a spring, that there came to them a stag having between his horns a cross of red and + blue. Felix cried out in wonder at that sight, and John then told him of the vision + that had appeared to him when he was saying his first Mass. Thenceforth they gave + themselves with redoubled fervour to prayer, and, being three times warned in + sleep, they determined to go to Rome, and pray the Pope to institute an Order for the + ransom of prisoners. They arrived at the time of the election of Innocent III., who + received them courteously, and entertained in his mind their petition. While he was + in consideration, he went to the Lateran Cathedral, on the second Feast of St. + Agnes, and there, while Mass was being solemnly sung, at the moment of the + elevation of the Sacred Host, there appeared to him an angel, clad in raiment white + and glistering, having sewn on his breast a cross of red and blue, and making as + though he would free prisoners. Thereupon the Pope founded the Order, commanding + that it should be called the Order of the Most Holy Trinity for the Ransom of + prisoners, and that they who professed in it should be clad in white raiment, + having sewn on their breasts a cross of red and blue. + + + The Order being thus established, the holy Founders returned into France, and built + their first Convent at Cerfroid, in the diocese of Meaux. Felix remained in charge of + this house, and John went back to Rome with several companions. To them Innocent + gave the house, Church, and hospital of St. Thomas de Formis on the Coelian Mount, + with great endowments and property. Moreover he gave them a letter of introduction to + Miramolin, King of Morocco, and they began with bright hopes the work of ransoming + prisoners. John next betook himself to Spain, great part of which was then in the + hands of the Saracens, and stirred up the hearts of the kings, princes, and all the + faithful to have pity on slaves and the poor. He built Convents, founded Hospitals, + and ransomed many bondsmen, to the great gain of souls. At last he returned to Rome, + still busied in good works, but worn out by unceasing toil, and weakened by + sickness. As he drew near the end of his earthly pilgrimage, his burning love for God + and for his neighbour suffered no diminution. He called together his brethren, and + earnestly exhorted them to go on with that work of ransom which had been pointed out + to them from heaven, and then fell asleep in the Lord, on the 21st day of December, + 1213. His body was buried with due honour in the Church of St. Thomas de Formis. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "Pope St. Gregory the Great, Homily 13 on the Gospels (on Luke 12:35-40)" + text: + la: >- + Sancti Evangélii, fratres caríssimi, apérta vobis est léctio recitata.

The Lord + saith Let your loins be girded about. Now, we gird our loins about, when by + continency we master the lustful inclination of the flesh. But, forasmuch as it + sufficeth not for a man to abstain from evil deeds, if he strive not to join thereto + the earnest doing of good works, it is immediately added And your lights burning. + Our lights burn when, by good works, we give bright example to our neighbour; + concerning which works the Lord saith Let your light so shine before men, that they + may see your good works, and glorify your Father Which is in heaven. + + + Here, then, are two commandments, to gird our loins about, and to keep our lights + burning the cleanness of purity in our body, and the light of the truth in our + works. Whoso hath the one and not the other, pleaseth not thereby our Redeemer; that + is, he pleaseth Him not which doth good works, but bridleth not himself from the + pollutions of lust, neither he which is eminent in chastity, but exerciseth not + himself in good works. Neither is chastity a great thing without good works, nor + good works anything without chastity. And if any man do both, it remaineth that he + must look by hope toward our Fatherland above, and not have for his reason + wherethrough he turneth himself away from vice, the love of honour in this present + world. + + + And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from + the wedding that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. + The Lord cometh at the hour of judgment He knocketh when, by the pains of sickness, + He biddeth us know that death is nigh. To Him open we immediately, if we receive Him + in love. Whoso feareth to leave this body, will not open to the Judge when He + knocketh, for he dreadeth to see that Judge, Whom he knoweth that he hath despised. + But whosoever knoweth that his hope and works are built upon a good foundation, when + he heareth the Judge knock, openeth to Him immediately, for to such an one that + coming is blessed, yea, when the hour of death is at hand, such an one haileth with + gladness a glorious reward. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/tests/calendar/february-sanctoral.test.ts b/tests/calendar/february-sanctoral.test.ts index c289155..dbe55dd 100644 --- a/tests/calendar/february-sanctoral.test.ts +++ b/tests/calendar/february-sanctoral.test.ts @@ -22,7 +22,12 @@ describe('February sanctoral pull (first pass)', () => { // reference, not unique text -- confirmed identical to collect-c6.yml's // own template; wired via collectCommon (2026-08), postdating this // saint's own original authoring, which is why this used to be missing. - const day = resolveDay('2029-02-05'); // St. Agatha + // 2029 was the original proof year, but St. Andrew Corsini (added + // 2026-08 -- see st-andrew-corsini.yml) transfers onto Feb 5 in years + // where Sexagesima falls on his own Feb 4, and outranks Agatha + // (Duplex vs. Semiduplex) when it does -- 2029 is now one of those + // years. 2025 has no such collision. + const day = resolveDay('2025-02-05'); // St. Agatha expect(day.winner).toEqual({ kind: 'sanctoral', id: 'st-agatha',
