12 of June's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the major Duplex I class feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. One left unsourced (the Vigil of St. John the Baptist has only a Nocturn 1 scripture reading in the source, nothing proper to author for Nocturn 2/3). Found a new wrinkle: St. William Abbot has real vita content in both tracks, essentially the same story independently transcribed — sourced from the Tridentine file since only it has an English translation.

retrahénte. Porro in solículo monte biénnium inter assíduas preces, vigílias,

Dei autem mónitu, qui eídem appáruit, a propósito revocátur, utílior ac fructuósior tam

Aliis deínde monastériis eréctis, clárior in dies Guliélmi facta sánctitas multos ad eum

This William was born of noble parents at Vercelli in Lombardy. He was but little over
|
|
fourteen years of age, when, impelled by a strange earnestness for holiness, he undertook
|
|
a pilgrimage to Compostella, to the far-famed Church of St. James. This journey he made
|
|
clad in a single garment, wearing an iron girdle wound two-fold round his body, and with
|
|
bare feet. He accomplished his object under the severest hardships of cold and heat,
|
|
hunger and thirst, and at the great danger of his life. After his return to Italy, he
|
|
undertook a new pilgrimage, this time to the Holy Sepulchre of the Lord. But in the way of
|
|
fulfilling this, there arose diverse and most grievous obstacles, whereby the hand of God
|
|
drew the lad to the higher and holier life of a monk. He dwelt in the town of Monte
|
|
Solicolo for two years, which he passed in constant prayer, watching, sleeping upon the
|
|
ground, and fasting. At the end of this time, the power of God made him the mean to
|
|
restore a blind man to sight. The fame of this miracle became so noised abroad, that
|
|
William could no longer remain unknown. His thoughts turned again towards Jerusalem, and
|
|
he again entered cheerfully on the journey.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He was again hindered by a vision from God, and remained among the Italians to be more
|
|
useful, and to bring forth more fruit than he would have done among strangers. With
|
|
extraordinary speed, he built a monastery upon the summit of Monte Vergiliano, ever since
|
|
named Monte Vergine. Thither he called around him, as his comrades, devout men, and
|
|
schooled them into a way of life most closely following the commands and counsels of the
|
|
Gospel, in great part by a rule taken from the constitutions of Blessed Benedict, and
|
|
supplemented by his own words, and the example of his own holy life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As other monasteries were raised, the holy life of William became more known day by day,
|
|
and brought men to him from all quarters, drawn by the sweet savour of his godliness, and
|
|
the fame of his miracles. At his prayers the dumb spake, the deaf heard, the withered were
|
|
strengthened, and they that suffered under diverse and incurable diseases received
|
|
health. He turned water into wine, and openly worked many other miracles. Among all these
|
|
things it must be told that a wretched woman sought him to lure him to impurity, but he
|
|
raked hot embers out upon the floor and cast himself down upon them, and wallowed among
|
|
them, and escaped unhurt. When this thing came to the knowledge of Roger I., King of
|
|
Naples, it roused in him the highest reverence for the man of God. At the last, after
|
|
foretelling his own death to the King and to others, and full of good works and miracles,
|
|
he fell asleep in the Lord, in the year of salvation 1142.
