14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St. Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.

Martínus, Sabáriæ in Pannónia natus, cum décimum attigísset annum, invítis paréntibus
|
|
ad ecclésiam confúgiens, in catechumenórum númerum adscríbi vóluit. Quíndecim annos
|
|
natus in milítiam proféctus, primum in Constántii, deínde Juliáni exércitu militávit.
|
|
Qui, cum nihil habéret præter arma et vestiméntum quo tegebátur, Ambiáni, páuperi ac
|
|
nudo, ab eo peténti ut Christi nómine sibi eleemósynam tribúeret, partem chlámydis
|
|
dedit. Cui sequénti nocte Christus, dimidiáta illa veste indútus, appáruit, hanc
|
|
mittens vocem: Martínus catechúmenus hac me veste contéxit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Decem et octo annos cum habéret, baptizátus est. Quare, relícta militári vita, ad
|
|
Hilárium Pictaviénsem epíscopum se cóntulit, a quo in acolythórum númerum redáctus
|
|
est. Post, factus epíscopus Turonénsis, monastérium ædificávit, ubi cum octogínta
|
|
mónachis sanctíssime aliquámdiu vixit. Qui, cum póstea ad Candacénsem vicum suæ
|
|
diœcésis in gravem febrim incidísset, assídua Deum oratióne precabátur, ut se ex illo
|
|
mortáli cárcere liberáret. Quem audiéntes discípuli, sic rogábant: Cur nos, pater
|
|
déseris? cui nos míseros derelínquis? Quorum voce commótus Martínus, ita Deum orábat:
|
|
Dómine, si adhuc pópulo tuo sum necessárius, non recúso labórem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sed, cum eum in illa veheménti febre supínum orántem vidérent discípuli, supplíciter
|
|
ab eo petiérunt, ut, convérso córpore, tantísper, dum remítteret morbi vis, pronus
|
|
conquiésceret. Quibus Martínus, Sínite me, inquit, cælum pótius quam terram
|
|
aspícere, ut, suo jam itínere itúrus ad Dóminum, spíritus dirigátur. Instánte jam
|
|
morte, viso humáni géneris hoste, Quid, inquit, astas, cruénta béstia? nihil in me
|
|
funéste repéries. Ea in voce, unum et octogínta annos natus, ánimam Deo réddidit;
|
|
quam Angelórum chorus excépit, eósque divínas canéntes laudes multi, in primísque
|
|
sanctus Severínus Coloniénsis epíscopus, audiérunt.

Martin was born at Sabaria in Pannonia. When he was ten years old he went to the
|
|
Church, in the spite of his heathen father and mother, and by his own will was
|
|
numbered among the Catechumens. At fifteen years of age he joined the army, and
|
|
served as a soldier first under Constantius and then under Julian. Once at the gate of
|
|
Amiens a poor man asked him for an alms for Christ's name's sake, and since he had
|
|
nothing to his hand but his arms and his clothes, he gave him half of his cloak. In the
|
|
night following Christ appeared to him clad in the half of his cloak, and saying (to
|
|
the angels who bare Him company): While Martin is yet a Catechumen, he hath clad Me in
|
|
this garment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At eighteen years of age he was baptized. He gave up thereupon the life of a soldier,
|
|
and betook himself to Hilary, Bishop of Poietiers, by whom he was placed in the order of
|
|
Acolytes. Being afterwards made Bishop of Tours, he built a monastery wherein he lived
|
|
in holiness for a while in company of four-score monks. At the last he fell sick of a
|
|
grievous fever at Cande, a village in his diocese, and besought God in constant prayer
|
|
to set him free from the prison of this dying body. His disciples heard him and said:
|
|
Father, why wilt thou go away from us? unto whom wilt thou bequeath us in our sorrow?
|
|
Their words moved Martin, and he said: Lord, if I be still needful to thy people, I
|
|
refuse not to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When his disciples saw him, in the height of the fever, lying upon his back and
|
|
praying, they entreated him to turn over and take a little rest upon his side while
|
|
the violence of his sickness would allow him. But Martin answered them: Suffer me to
|
|
look heavenward rather than earthward, that my spirit may see the way whereby it is so
|
|
soon going to the Lord. At the moment of death he saw the enemy of mankind, and cried
|
|
out: What are you come here for, you bloody brute? You murderer, you'll find nothing in
|
|
me. With these words on his lips, he gave up his soul to God, being aged eighty years.
|
|
He was received by a company of Angels, who were heard praising God by many persons,
|
|
especially by holy Severinus, Bishop of Cologne.

Quia in superióribus Ecclésiam Synagógæ prǽtulit, hortátur nos ut fidem pótius
|
|
nostram ad Ecclésiam transferámus. Lucérna enim fides est, juxta quod scriptum est:
|
|
Lucérna pédibus meis verbum tuum, Dómine. Verbum enim Dei fides nostra est; Verbum
|
|
Dei lux est; Lucérna est fides: Erat Lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem
|
|
in hunc mundum. Lucérna autem lucére non potest, nisi aliúnde lumen accéperit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hæc est Lucérna quæ accénditur, virtus scílicet nostræ mentis et sensus, ut drachma
|
|
illa possit, quæ períerat, reperíri. Nemo ergo fidem sub lege constítuat; lex enim
|
|
intra mensúram est, ultra mensúram grátia; lex obúmbrat, grátia claríficat. Et ídeo
|
|
nemo fidem suam intra mensúram legis inclúdat, sed ad Ecclésiam cónferat, in qua
|
|
septifórmis Spíritus relúcet grátia, quam Princeps ille sacerdótum fulgóre supérnæ
|
|
divinitátis illúminat, ne eam legis umbra restínguat. Dénique lucérna illa, quam
|
|
matutínis vespertinísque tempóribus, ritu véteri Judæórum, princeps sacerdótum
|
|
solébat accéndere, velut sub módio sita legis, evánuit; et cívitas illa Jerúsalem quæ
|
|
in terris est, quæ occídit prophétas, quasi in conválle fletus pósita delitéscit.
|
|
Illa autem Jerúsalem quæ in cælo est, in qua mílitat fides nostra, in illo altíssimo
|
|
ómnium locáta monte, hoc est Christo, non potest ténebris et ruínis hujus mundi
|
|
abscóndi; sed fulgens candóre Solis ætérni, luce nos grátiæ spiritális illúminat.

In that which goeth before, Christ hath set the Church before the synagogue, and He
|
|
exhorteth us rather to trust in the Church. The candle is faith, even as it is
|
|
written: thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Our faith is the
|
|
word of God. The word of God is light. Faith is the candle. It is written concerning
|
|
the Word of God, that That was the true Light, Which lighteth every man that cometh
|
|
into this world. But a candle cannot shine, unless it be lighted from some other fire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also it is written: What woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,
|
|
doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
|
|
And here the candle lighted to find the lost piece is the strength in our
|
|
understandings and affections. Let no man therefore seek faith under the law. For the
|
|
law is by measure, but grace without measure; the law overshadoweth, but grace
|
|
enlighteneth. And therefore let no man shut up his faith within the measure of the
|
|
law, but give it unto the Church, wherein shineth the sevenfold grace of the Spirit,
|
|
and whereon the Divine glory of the Great High Priest doth strike from heaven, lest the
|
|
shadow of the law should rest any more at all upon her. Under the old law there was
|
|
the sevenfold lamp which the Priest of the Jews lighted every morning and every
|
|
evening, and this was as it were a candle put under a bushel. That Jerusalem which is
|
|
upon earth, that Jerusalem which killed the Prophets, lieth hid, as it were, in a dark
|
|
place in the valley of tears. But that Jerusalem which is in heaven, whereof by faith
|
|
we are soldiers, is a city set upon the highest of all mountains, even upon Christ.
|
|
Her the darkness and tempests of earth cannot hide, but she blazeth with the glory of
|
|
the Eternal Sun, and maketh to fall upon us the light of spiritual grace.
