Nicolaus, Tolentinas a diuturno illíus civitátis domicílio appellátus, in oppido sancti
|
|
Angeli in Piceno est natus piis paréntibus; qui, liberórum desidério Bárium voti causa
|
|
profecti, ibique a sancto Nicoláo de futura prole confirmáti, quem suscepérunt fílium de
|
|
illíus nómine appellarunt. Is ab infántia multárum virtútum, sed abstinéntiæ in primis,
|
|
specimen dedit. Nam anno vix septimo, beátum ipsum Nicolaum imitatus, complures hebdomadæ
|
|
dies jejunare cœpit; eamque póstea consuetúdinem retinuit, solo pane et aqua contentus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adulta ætate, jam clericali milítiæ adscriptus et canonicus factus, cum quodam die
|
|
concionatórem ordinis Eremitárum sancti Augustíni de mundi contemptu dicéntem audísset, eo
|
|
sermóne inflammatus, statim eumdem ordinem est ingréssus. In quo tam exactam religiosæ vitæ
|
|
ratiónem coluit, ut áspero vestítu, verbéribus et férrea catena corpus domans, atque a carne
|
|
et omni fere obsónio ábstinens, caritate, humilitate, patiéntia ceterisque virtútibus, aliis
|
|
prælucéret.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Orándi assiduum studium, quamvis sátanæ insídiis varie vexátus et flagellis intérdum cæsus,
|
|
non intermittebat. Demum, sex ante óbitum mensibus, singulis noctibus angelicum concentum
|
|
audívit; cujus suavitate cum jam paradisi gaudia prægustaret, crebro illud Apóstoli
|
|
repetebat: Cupio dissolvi, et esse cum Christo. Denique óbitus sui diem frátribus prædixit,
|
|
qui fuit quarto Idus Septembris. Miraculis multis étiam post mortem cláruit; quibus rite et
|
|
ordine cógnitis, ab Eugenio Papa quarto in Sanctórum númerum est relatus.

This Nicholas is called Nicholas of Tolentino, because he lived in that town for most part
|
|
of his life. He was born at St. Angelo, a place near Fermo, in the March of Ancona. His
|
|
parents were godly people, and in their desire to have children, vowed and made a pilgrimage
|
|
to the shrine of St. Nicholas at Bari, where they were assured of their wish, and therefore
|
|
gave the name of Nicholas to the son whom they received. From his childhood the lad gave
|
|
many good signs, but especially as regarded abstinence. In his seventh year, in imitation of
|
|
his blessed name-sake, he began to fast upon several days in the week, which custom he
|
|
always kept, and was content with only bread and water.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After he reached man's estate, he enlisted himself in the army of the clergy, and was
|
|
preferred to a Canonry. One day he chanced to hear a sermon upon contempt of the world
|
|
delivered by a preacher of the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine, and was so moved by it
|
|
that he forthwith entered that Order. As a Friar he was most strictly observant of that way
|
|
of life. He subdued his body with rough clothing, stripes, and an iron chain. He never ate
|
|
meat, and seldom any relish to his meals. And he was a burning and shining light of love,
|
|
lowliness, long-suffering, and all other graces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He persisted in constant and earnest prayer, notwithstanding many troubles from the assaults
|
|
of Satan, who sometimes even flogged him. Every night for six months before his death he
|
|
heard Angels singing with such sweetness, that it was a fore-taste of the happiness of
|
|
heaven, and he would often repeat the words of the Apostle: I have a desire to depart and to
|
|
be with Christ. Lastly, he foretold to his brethren the day of his death, which was the 10th
|
|
day of September. After his death also he was famous for miracles, and when due
|
|
investigation had been made thereof, Pope Eugene IV enrolled his name among those of the
|
|
Saints.
