# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Simeon, Bishop and Martyr (Feb 18) — # no genuine SanctiM/02-18*.txt: the only file found there, # `SanctiM/02-18b.txt`, is unrelated content for St. Bernadette # Soubirous (a later addition to that date slot, not referencing # Simeon or `@Sancti/02-18` at all) — same "the file that exists isn't # necessarily yours" wrinkle as the pre-1955 pass (memory # vu-matins-pre1955-saints); Simeon turns out to be a missed # pre-1955-pool candidate rather than a genuine SanctiM case (see # memory vu-matins-sanctim-saints). # web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/02-18.txt, English/Sancti/02-18.txt. # Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account, no # responsory given in the source. id: st-simeon readings: - nocturn: 2 isGospel: false text: la: >- Simeon, fílius Cléophæ, post Jacobum próximus Jerosolymis ordinátus epíscopus, Trajano imperatóre apud Atticum consularem est accusatus, quod christianus esset et Christi propinquus. Comprehendebántur enim omnes eo témpore, quicúmque ex genere David orti essent. Quare multis cruciátus tormentis eodem passiónis genere, quod Salvátor noster subíerat, affícitur: mirántibus ómnibus, quod homo ætate confectus (erat enim centum et viginti annórum) acerbíssimos crucis dolóres fortiter constanterque paterétur. en: >- Simeon, the son of Cleophas, was chosen the second Bishop of Jerusalem, being the first after James. Under the Emperor Trajan he was accused before the Pro-Consul Atticus, as being both a Christian and a relation of Christ, this being the time when all were arrested that were of the lineage of David. He underwent with great suffering the same things that were inflicted on our Saviour, and all men marvelled to see with how great boldness and firmness he endured the grievous torment of the cross, at his great age, for he was an hundred and twenty years old. status: { la: verified, en: verified }
