        Philíppus Bethsáidæ natus, unus ex duódecim Apóstolis, qui primum a Christo Dómino
        vocáti sunt: a quo cum accepísset Nathánaël, venísse Messíam in lege promíssum, ad
        Dóminum dedúctus est. Quam vero Christus eum familiáriter adhibéret, illud fácile
        declárat, quod gentíles Salvatórem vidére cupiéntes, ad Philíppum accessérunt; et
        Dóminus, cum in solitúdine hóminum multitúdinem páscere vellet, sic Philíppum affátus
        est: Unde emémus panes, ut mandúcent hi? Is, accépto Spíritu Sancto, cum ei Scýthia ad
        prædicándum Evangélium obtigísset, omnem fere illam gentem ad christiánam fidem
        convértit. Postrémo, cum Hierápolim Phrýgiæ venísset, pro Christi nómine cruci affíxus
        lapidibúsque óbrutus est, Kaléndis Maji. Ejus corpus ibídem a Christiánis sepúltum,
        póstea Romam delátum, in basílica duódecim Apostolórum una cum córpore beáti Jacóbi
        Apóstoli cónditum est.

        Philip was born in the town of Bethsaida, and was one of the first of the twelve Apostles
        who were called by the Lord Christ. Then Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him: We
        have found Him of Whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets, did write. And so he brought
        him to the Lord. How familiarly he was in the company of Christ, is manifest from that
        which is written: There were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
        Feast; the same came therefore to Philip, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
        When the Lord was in the wilderness, and was about to feed a great multitude, He said unto
        Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? Philip, after that he had received
        the Holy Ghost, took Scythia, by lot, as the land wherein he was to preach the Gospel, and
        brought nearly all that people to believe in Christ. At the last he came to Hierapolis in
        Phrygia, and there, for Christ's Name's sake, he was fastened to a cross and stoned to
        death. The day was the first of May. The Christians of Hierapolis buried his body at that
        place, but it was afterwards brought to Rome and laid in the Basilica of the Twelve
        Apostles, beside that of the blessed Apostle James.

        Jacóbus frater Dómini, cognoménto Justus, ab ineúnte ætáte vinum et síceram non bibit,
        carne abstínuit, nunquam tonsus est, nec unguénto nec bálneo usus. Huic uni licébat
        íngredi in Sancta sanctórum. Idem líneis véstibus utebátur: cui étiam assidúitas orándi
        ita callum génibus obdúxerat, ut durítie caméli pellem imitarétur. Eum post Christi
        ascensiónem Apóstoli Jerosolymórum epíscopum creavérunt; ad quem étiam Princeps
        Apostolórum misit qui nuntiáret se e cárcere ab Angelo edúctum fuísse. Cum autem in
        concílio Jerosólymis controvérsia esset orta de lege et circumcisióne; Jacóbus, Petri
        senténtiam secútus, ad fratres hábuit conciónem, in qua vocatiónem géntium probávit,
        fratribúsque abséntibus scribéndum esse dixit, ne géntibus jugum Mosáicæ legis
        impónerent. De quo et lóquitur Apóstolus ad Gálatas: Alium autem Apostolórum vidi néminem,
        nisi Jacóbum fratrem Dómini.


        Tanta autem erat Jacóbi vitæ sánctitas, ut fímbriam vestiménti ejus certátim hómines
        cúperent attíngere. Nam is nonagínta sex annos natus, cum trigínta annis illi Ecclésiæ
        sanctíssime præfuísset, Christum Dei Fílium constantíssime prǽdicans, lapídibus primum
        appétitur; mox in altíssimum Templi locum addúctus, inde præcipitátus est. Qui,
        confráctis crúribus, jacens semivívus, manus tendébat ad cælum, Deúmque pro illórum
        salúte deprecabátur his verbis: Ignósce eis, Dómine, quia nésciunt quid fáciunt. Qua in
        oratióne, gráviter ejus cápite fullónis fuste percússo, ánimam Deo réddidit, séptimo
        Nerónis anno, et juxta Templum, ubi præcipitátus fúerat, sepúltus est. Unam scripsit
        Epístolam, quæ de septem cathólicis est.

        James, surnamed the Just, the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, was a Nazarite from the
        womb. During his whole life he never drank wine or strong drink, never ate meat, never
        shaved, and never took a bath. He was the only man who was allowed to go into the Holy of
        Holies. His raiment was always linen. So continually did he kneel in prayer, that the skin
        of his knees became horny, like a camel's knees. After Christ was ascended, the Apostles
        made James Bishop of Jerusalem; and even the Prince of the Apostles gave special
        intelligence to him after that he was delivered from prison by an angel. When in the
        Council of Jerusalem certain questions were mooted touching the law and circumcision,
        James, following the opinion of Peter, addressed a discourse to the brethren, wherein he
        proved the call of the Gentiles, and commanded letters to be sent to such brethren as were
        absent, that they might take heed not to lay upon the Gentiles the yoke of the Law of
        Moses. It is of him that the Apostle Paul saith, writing to the Galatians: Other of the
        Apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.


        So great was James' holiness of life that men strove one with another to touch the hem of
        his garment. When he was ninety-six years old, and had most holily governed the Church of
        Jerusalem for thirty years, ever most constantly preaching Christ the Son of God, he laid
        down his life for the faith. He was first stoned, and afterward taken up on to a pinnacle
        of the Temple and cast down from thence. His legs were broken by the fall, and he was
        well-nigh dead, but he lifted up his hands towards heaven, and prayed to God for the
        salvation of his murderers, saying: Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do. As
        he said this, one that stood by smote him grievously upon the head with a fuller's club,
        and he resigned his spirit to God. He testified in the seventh year of Nero, and was
        buried hard by the Temple, in the place where he had fallen. He wrote one of the Seven
        Epistles which are called Catholic.

        In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Créditis in Deum,
        et in me crédite. In domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt. Et réliqua.


        Erigénda est nobis, fratres, ad Deum major inténtio, ut verba sancti Evangélii, quæ modo
        in nostris áuribus sonuérunt, étiam mente cápere utcúmque possímus. Ait enim Dóminus
        Jesus: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Créditis in Deum, et in me crédite. Ne mortem tamquam
        hómines timérent, et ídeo turbaréntur, consolátur eos, étiam se Deum esse contéstans.
        Créditis, inquit, in Deum, et in me crédite. Cónsequens est enim, ut, si in Deum créditis,
        et in me crédere debeátis: quod non esset cónsequens, si Christus non esset Deus.


        Créditis in Deum, et in eum crédite, cui natúra est, non rapína, esse æquálem Deo;
        semetípsum enim exinanívit, non tamen formam Dei amíttens, sed formam servi accípiens.
        Mortem metúitis huic formæ servi: non turbétur cor vestrum; suscitábit illam forma Dei.
        Sed quid est, quod séquitur: In domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt; nisi quia et sibi
        metuébant? Unde audíre debuérunt: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Quis enim eórum non
        metúeret, cum Petro dictum esset, fidentióri atque promptióri: Non cantábit gallus, donec
        ter me neges?


        Tamquam ergo essent ab illo peritúri, mérito turbabántur; sed cum áudiunt, In domo Patris
        mei mansiónes multæ sunt; si quo minus, dixíssem vobis: Quia vado paráre vobis locum; a
        perturbatióne recreántur, certi ac fidéntes, étiam post perícula tentatiónum, se apud Deum
        cum Christo esse mansúros. Quia etsi álius est álio fórtior, álius álio sapiéntior, álius
        álio jústior, álius álio sánctior, in domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt. Nullus eórum
        alienábitur ab illa domo, ubi mansiónem pro suo quisque acceptúrus est mérito.

        At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in
        God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house there are many mansions. And so on.


        It behoveth us, my brethren, to have our minds more given toward God, if we would that
        those words of the Holy Gospel which have just sounded in our ears, should become a living
        reality for our understandings. The Lord Jesus saith: Let not your heart be troubled. Ye
        believe in God, believe also in Me. Lest, being but men, their heart should be troubled by
        the fear of death, He strengtheneth them, even by the reminder that He is God. He saith:
        Ye believe in God, believe also in Me, for if ye believe in God, ye must needs believe in
        Me. And this were not so, if Christ were not God.


        We believe in God, believe also in Him Who is by nature and not by robbery equal with
        God, for in that He emptied Himself, He did it not by laying aside the form of God, but by
        taking upon Him the form of a servant. Ye fear death for this form of a servant, but let
        not your heart be troubled, the form of God will raise it up again. But what signifieth
        that which followeth: In My Father's house there are many mansions. Was it not that they
        had fear on their own account, and needed for themselves to hear Him say, Let not your
        heart be troubled? Which of them trembled not when they had heard Him say to Peter, the
        lealest and boldest of them all: The cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt
        thrice deny that thou knowest Me.


        Meetly were they troubled, for that they were about to be scattered from Him, but when
        they heard Him say, In My Father's house are many mansions, they had been comforted even
        if He had not also said, I go to prepare a place for you, for then they believed and knew,
        that, when all dangers and all trials were for ever over, they should be for ever with the
        Lord, with Christ and with God. Yea, though one man be stronger than another, though one
        be wiser than another, though one be holier than another, yet in My Father's house are
        many mansions. That house is an house wherein none are strangers, but every man shall
        receive a mansion therein according as his work shall be.
