Soter, Fundis in Campánia natus, sancívit ne sacræ vírgines vasa sacra et pallas attingerent,
|
||||
neve thuris ministerio in ecclésia uteréntur. Idem státuit ut Christi corpus in Cœna Dómini
|
||||
sumerétur ab ómnibus, iis exceptis, qui propter grave peccátum id fácere prohiberéntur.
|
||||
Sedit in pontificatu annos tres, menses undecim, dies decem et octo. Martyrio coronátur sub
|
||||
Marco Aurelio imperatóre, et in cœmeterio, quod póstea Callísti dictum est, sepelitur; more
|

majórum mense Decembri creátis presbyteris decem et octo, diáconis novem, epíscopis per
|

Soter, a countryman of Fondi in Campania, succeeded the holy martyr Anicetus. It was he who
|
||||
ordained that nuns should not touch the sacred vessels and linen of the Altar, nor serve
|
||||
with the incense in the Church. He ordained likewise, that on the anniversary of the Lord's
|
||||
Supper, every one should receive the Body of Christ, except those who were forbidden to do
|
||||
so on account of grievous sin. He sat as Pope three years, eleven months, and eighteen days.
|
||||
He was crowned with martyrdom under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, and was buried after the
|
||||
manner of them that had gone before him, in the Cemetery, which was afterwards called that
|
||||
of St. Calixtus, having ordained in the month of December, after the manner of his
|
||||
predecessors, eighteen Priests, nine Deacons, and eleven Bishops for diverse places.

Cajus Dálmata ex genere Diocletiáni imperatóris, constítuit ut his ordinum et honórum
|
||||
gradibus in Ecclésia ad episcopátum ascenderétur: Ostiarii, Lectóris, Exorcistæ, Acólythi,
|
||||
Subdiáconi, Diáconi, Presbýteri. Hic Diocletiáni crudelitátem in Christiános fúgiens,
|
||||
aliquámdiu in spelúnca delituit; verum octo post annis una cum Gabino fratre martyrii corónam
|

consecutus est, cum sedísset annos duodecim, menses quatuor, dies quinque; creátis mense

Gaius was a Dalmatian and a kinsman of the Emperor Diocletian, and succeeded holy Eutychian.
|
||||
It was he who ordained that the following should be the order of degrees in the Church
|
||||
through which all should pass before they be made Bishop: first, Doorkeeper; second, Reader;
|
||||
third, Exorcist; fourth, Acolyte; fifth, Subdeacon; sixth, Deacon; seventh, Priest. Caius
|
||||
fled from the cruelties practiced by Diocletian against the Christians, and lay hid for a
|
||||
while in a cave, but after eight years he and his brother Gabinus won the crown of
|
||||
martyrdom. At that time he had sat in the chair of Peter twelve years, four months, and five
|
||||
days, and had ordained in the month of December twenty-five Priests, eight Deacons, and
|
||||
five Bishops. He was buried in the Cemetery of Calixtus. It was Urban VIII who renewed the
|
||||
memorial of him in the city, rebuilt his Church, which had been in ruins, and distinguished
|
||||
it by making it one of those whence the Cardinals take their titles, and of those which are
|
||||
called "Stations," and enriching it with the relics of the Saint.

Dignum et congruum est, fratres, ut post lætítiam Paschæ, quam in Ecclésia celebrávimus,
|
||||
gaudia nostra cum sanctis Martyribus conferámus; et iis annuntiémus Dominicæ resurrectiónis
|
||||
glóriam, qui consortes sunt Dominicæ passiónis. Qui enim socii sunt contumeliæ, debent et
|
||||
participes esse lætítiæ. Ita enim dicit beátus Apóstolus: Sicut socii passiónum estis, et
|
||||
resurrectiónis eritis; si tolerábimus, inquit, et conregnábimus. Qui ergo toleravérunt mala
|
||||
propter Christum, debent et glóriam habere cum Christo.

Dearly beloved brethren, it is very meet and right that after the gladness of Easter, which
|
||||
we have celebrated in the Church, we should mingle our own joy with the joy of the holy
|
||||
Martyrs; yea, that we should tell of the glory of the Lord's rising again, to them that have
|
||||
been made partakers of the Lord's sufferings. It truly must needs be that they which have
|
||||
been partakers of His sufferings, should be also of His joy. For thus saith the blessed
|
||||
Apostle: "As ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation."
|
||||
(2 Cor. i. 7.) And again: "If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him." (2 Tim. ii. 12.) He,
|
||||
therefore, that endureth sorrow for Christ, must needs also have glory with Christ.

Francíscus Paulæ, quod est Calábriæ óppidum, loco húmili natus est; quem paréntes, cum diu
|
||||
prole caruíssent, voto facto, beáti Francísci précibus suscepérunt. Is adoléscens divíno
|
||||
ardóre succénsus in erémum secéssit, ubi annis sex, victu ásperam, sed meditatiónibus
|
||||
cæléstibus suávem vitam duxit. Sed cum virtútum ejus fama lóngius manáret, multíque ad eum
|
||||
pietátis stúdio concúrrerent, fratérnæ caritátis causa e solitúdine egréssus, ecclésiam
|
||||
prope Paulam ædificávit, ibíque prima sui órdinis fundaménta jecit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Erat in eo mirífica loquéndi grátia: perpétuam virginitátem servávit: humilitátem sic cóluit,
|
||||
ut se ómnium mínimum díceret, suósque alúmnos Mínimos appellári volúerit. Rudi amíctu, nudis
|
||||
pédibus incédens, humi cubábat. Cibi abstinéntia fuit admirábili: semel in die post solis
|
||||
occásum reficiebátur, et ad panem, et aquæ potum, vix áliquid ejusmodi obsónii adhibébat,
|
||||
quo vesci in Quadragésima licet: quam consuetúdinem, ut fratres sui toto anni témpore
|
||||
retinérent, quarto eos voto adstrínxit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Multis miráculis servi sui sanctitátem Deus testári vóluit, quorum illud in primis célebre,
|
||||
quod a nautis rejéctus, Sicíliæ fretum strato super flúctibus pállio cum sócio transmísit.
|
||||
Multa étiam futúra prophético spíritu prædíxit. A Ludovíco undécimo Francórum rege expetítus,
|
||||
magnóque in honóre est hábitus. Dénique annum primum et nonagésimum agens, Turónis migrávit
|
||||
ad Dominum: cujus corpus dies úndecim insepúltum, ita incorrúptum permánsit, ut suávem étiam
|
||||
odórem effláret. Eum Leo Papa décimus in Sanctórum númerum rétulit.

This Francis was born of humble parents at Paola, a town in Calabria. His parents, who had
|
||||
long been childless, obtained him, after making a vow, by the prayers of blessed Francis.
|
||||
While he was yet a lad, the love of God moved him to withdraw into a desert place, where he
|
||||
lived for six years, hardly as to the body, but sumptuously in meditation on things
|
||||
heavenly. Nevertheless, when the fame of his holy life was noised abroad, and many betook
|
||||
themselves to him, that they might learn godliness, he was drawn out of the desert by love
|
||||
to his neighbour, and built a church near Paola, wherein he laid the first foundations of
|
||||
his Order.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In his words there was a wonderful charm; he kept his virginity always inviolate; he was so
|
||||
great a lover of lowliness that he used to call himself the last of all, and would that his
|
||||
disciples should be called the Minimi, which is, being interpreted, the Least of the
|
||||
brethren. His raiment was coarse; he went always bare-footed; and he slept on the ground.
|
||||
The extreme smallness of the amount of food which he took was extraordinary. He ate only
|
||||
once a day, and that after sunset. Then he took only bread and water, with scarcely any of
|
||||
such condiment as is allowed in Lent. He bound his disciples by a fourth vow, added to those
|
||||
of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, to observe the same rule of eating as himself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It was the will of God to make the holiness of His servant manifest by many miracles. The
|
||||
most notorious of these is that on one occasion when some seamen refused to take him over
|
||||
the Straits of Messina, he spread his cloak upon the sea, and crossed over on it with his
|
||||
companion. In the spirit of prophecy he foretold many things to come. Louis XI, King of
|
||||
France, held him in great worship, and bade him to his court. At last, at Tours, in the
|
||||
ninety-first year of his age, he departed hence to be ever with the Lord: his body remained
|
||||
unburied for eleven days after his death, but it not only showed no signs of corruption but
|
||||
even gave forth a sweet savour. Pope Leo X caused him to be numbered among the Saints.
