All 6 of March's SanctiM-track saints authored. St. Benedict's own patronal feast turns out to be the richest case in this pass so far: its Nocturn 3 is genuinely Monastic-only content (a St. Peter Damian sermon) absent from the Tridentine track entirely, unlike every other saint done so far where the SanctiM file just reslices the same Tridentine text. Also caught a case (St. Gregory the Great) where a saint's SanctiM file carries content copied verbatim from an unrelated feast rather than anything proper to the saint himself.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Thomas Aquinas, Confessor, Doctor
|
|
# (Mar 7) — SanctiM/03-07.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/03-07`)
|
|
# with no Nocturn 2/3 override, so this saint's own vita is sourced
|
|
# from the Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see
|
|
# memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).

# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/03-07.txt, English/Sancti/03-07.txt —
|
|
# Lectio4/5 are themselves `@:Lectio4_`/`@:Lectio5_` self-references
|
|
# (a same-file rubric-variant indirection, not a genuine split); the
|
|
# underlying `Lectio4_`/`Lectio5_`/`Lectio6` text is combined into one
|
|
# reading, one continuous vita. No responsory given in the source.

Præclárum christiáni orbis decus et Ecclésiæ lumen, beatíssimus vir Thomas, Landulpho
|
|
comite Aquinate et Theodora Neapolitana, nobílibus paréntibus natus, futuræ in Deiparam
|
|
devotiónis afféctum adhuc infantulus osténdit. Nam chártulam ab eo invéntam, in qua
|
|
salutátio Angelica scripta erat, frustra adniténte nutrice, compressa manu valide
|
|
retinuit, et a matre per vim abreptam, ploratu et gestu repétiit, ac mox redditam
|
|
deglutívit. Quintum annum agens, monachis sancti Benedicti Cassinátibus custodiendus
|
|
traditur. Inde Neapolim studiórum causa missus, jam adoléscens Fratrum Prædicatórum
|
|
Ordinem suscépit. Sed matre ac frátribus id indigne feréntibus, Lutétiam Parisiórum
|
|
mittitur. Quem fratres in itinere per vim raptum, in arcem castri sancti Joánnis
|
|
perducunt: ubi varie exagitatus, ut sanctum proponsitum mutaret, mulierem etiam, quæ ad
|
|
labefactándam ejus constantiam introducta fuerat, titióne fugávit. Mox beátus juvenis,
|
|
flexis genibus ante signum crucis orans, ibique somno correptus, per quietem sentire
|
|
visus est sibi ab Angelis constringi lumbos; quo ex témpore omni póstea libidinis sensu
|
|
cáruit. Soróribus, quæ ut eum a pio consílio removerent, in castrum venerant, persuasit,
|
|
ut, contemptis curis sæcularibus, ad exercitatiónem cæléstis vitæ se conferrent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emissus e castro per fenestram, Neapolim redúcitur; unde Romam, póstea Parisium a fratre
|
|
Joánne Theutónico, ordinis Prædicatórum generali magistro, ductus, Alberto Magno
|
|
doctore, philosophíæ ac theologíæ operam dedit. Viginti quinque annos natus, magister est
|
|
appellatus, publiceque philósophos ac Theólogos summa cum laude est interpretatus.
|
|
Numquam se lectióni aut scriptióni dedit, nisi post oratiónem. In difficultátibus locórum
|
|
sacræ Scripturæ, ad oratiónem jejunium adhibebat. Quin étiam sodali suo fratri Regínaldo
|
|
dicere solebat, quidquid sciret non tam studio aut labóre suo peperisse, quam divínitus
|
|
tráditum accepisse. Neapoli cum ad imáginem Crucifixi vehementius oraret, hanc vocem
|
|
audívit: Bene scripsísti de me, Thoma; quam ergo mercedem accípies? Cui ille: Non aliam,
|
|
Dómine, nisi teípsum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A summo Pontifice Urbano quarto Romam vocatus, ejus jussu ecclesiásticum lucubrávit
|
|
Offícium in Corporis Christi solemnitate celebrándum: oblatos vero honores et
|
|
Neapolitanum archiepiscopátum, étiam deferénte Cleménte quarto, recusávit. A
|
|
prædicatióne divini verbi non desistebat; quod cum fáceret per octavam Paschæ in
|
|
basilica sancti Petri, mulierem, quæ ejus fimbriam tetígerat, a fluxu sánguinis
|
|
liberávit. Missus a beato Gregório décimo ad concílium Lugdunense, in monasterio Fossæ
|
|
Novæ in morbum íncidit, ubi ægrotus Cantica canticórum explanávit. Ibidem obiit
|
|
quinquagenarius, anno salútis millesimo ducentésimo septuagesimo quarto, Nonis Martii.

That splendid adornment of the Christian world and light of the Church, blessed Thomas of
|
|
Aquino, was the son of Landulph, Earl of Aquino, and Theodora of Naples, his wife, being
|
|
nobly descended on both sides. He even as an infant gave token of the love which he
|
|
afterwards bore to the Mother of God. He found a little bit of paper upon which was written
|
|
the Angelic Salutation, and held it firm in his hand in spite of the efforts of his
|
|
wet-nurse; his mother took it away by force, but he cried and stretched out for it, and
|
|
when she gave it back to him, he swallowed it. When he was only four years old, he was
|
|
given into the keeping of the Benedictine monks of Monte Cassino. He was thence sent to
|
|
Naples to study, and there, while very young, entered the Order of Friars Preachers. This
|
|
displeased his mother and brothers, and he left Naples for Paris. When he was on his
|
|
journey his brothers met him, and carried him off by force to the castle of Monte San
|
|
Giovanni, where they imprisoned him in the keep. Here they used every means to break him of
|
|
his intention, and at last brought a woman into his room to try to overcome his purity. The
|
|
lad drove her out with a fire-brand. When he was alone he knelt down before the figure of
|
|
the Cross, and there he fell asleep. As he slept, it seemed to him that angels came and
|
|
girded his loins, and from this time he never felt the least sexual inclination. His
|
|
sisters came to the castle to beseech him to give up his purpose of leaving the world, but
|
|
he so worked on them by his godly exhortations, that both of them ever after set no value
|
|
on earthly things, and busied themselves rather with heavenly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Being let down from a window, Thomas escaped out of the castle of Monte San Giovanni, and
|
|
returned to Naples. Thence he went first to Rome, and then to Paris, in company of Brother
|
|
John the German, then Master-General of the Friars Preachers. At Paris he studied
|
|
Philosophy and Theology under Albert the Great, Doctor. At the age of twenty-five years he
|
|
took the degree of Master, and gave public disquisitions on the Philosophers and
|
|
Theologians with great distinction. He never set himself to read or write till he had first
|
|
prayed, and when he was about to take in hand a hard passage of the Holy Scriptures, he
|
|
fasted also. Hence he was wont to say to Brother Reginald his comrade, that whatever he
|
|
knew, he had learnt, not so much from his own labour and study, as from the inspiration of
|
|
God. At Naples he was once kneeling in very earnest prayer before an image of Christ
|
|
Crucified, when he heard a voice which said Thomas, thou hast written well of Me; what
|
|
reward wilt thou that I give thee? He answered: Lord, thyself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Supreme Pontiff Urban IV. sent for him to Rome, and at his command he composed the
|
|
Church Office for the feast of Corpus Christi. The Pope could not persuade him to accept
|
|
any dignity. Pope Clement IV. also offered him the Archbishopric of Naples, but he refused
|
|
it. He did not neglect the preaching of the Word of God. Once while he was giving a course
|
|
of sermons in the Basilica of St Peter, during the octave of Easter, a woman who had an
|
|
issue of blood was healed by touching the hem of his garment. He was sent by blessed
|
|
Gregory X. to the Council of Lyons, but fell sick on his way to the Abbey of Fossa Nuovo,
|
|
and there during his illness he made an exposition of the Song of Songs. There he died on
|
|
the 7th day of March, in the year of salvation 1274, aged fifty years.
