Sermo sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Sermo 13 de Tempore, post initium

13th on the Season

Sic olim prædíctum est: Mater Sion dicit: Homo et homo factus est in ea; et ipse fundávit eam Altíssimus. O omnipoténtia nascéntis! o magnificéntia de cælo ad terram descendéntis! Adhuc in útero portabátur, et ex útero matris a Ioánne Baptísta salutabátur. In templo præsentabátur, et a Simeóne sene famóso, annóso, probáto, coronáto agnoscebátur. Tunc cognóvit, tunc adorávit, tunc dixit: Nunc, Dómine, dimíttis servum tuum in pace: quia vidérunt óculi mei salutáre tuum.

In old time it was written: And of Zion shall it not be said This and that man was born in her, and the Highest Himself shall establish her? Blessed be the omnipotence of Him That was born! Blessed the glory of Him That came from heaven to earth! While yet He was borne in His Mother's womb, He was saluted by John the Baptist; He was presented in the temple, and recognised by that famous, ancient, and glorious worthy, the old man Simeon. As soon as he knew Him he worshipped Him, and said Lord, now lettest Thou thy servant depart in peace for mine eyes have seen thy Salvation.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Differebátur exíre de sǽculo, ut vidéret natum, per quem cónditum est sǽculum. Agnóvit Infántem senex, factus est in Púero puer. Innovátus in ætáte, qui plenus erat pietáte. Símeon senex ferébat Christum infántem, Christus regébat Simeónis senectútem. Dictum ei fúerat a Dómino, quod non gustáret mortem, nisi vidéret Christum Dómini natum. Natus est Christus, et implétum est desidérium senis in mundi ipsíus senectúte. Ipse ad senem hóminem venit, qui mundum inveterátum invénit.

He lingered in the world to see the birth of Him Who made the world. The old man knew the Child, and in that Child became a child himself, for in the love wherewith he regarded the Father of all, he felt his own years to be but as of yesterday. The old man Simeon bore the new-born Christ, and all the while, Christ was the old man's Lord. It had been told him by the Lord that he should not taste of death before he had seen the birth of the Lord's Christ. Now Christ is born, and all the old man's wishes on earth are fulfilled. He That came to a decrepit world came to an old man.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. It was revealed unto Simeon by the Holy Ghost that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ;

* Et benedíxit Deum, et dixit: Nunc dimíttis servum tuum in pace, quia vidérunt óculi mei salutáre tuum, Dómine.

* And he blessed God, and said: Lord, now lettest Thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.

℣. Cum indúcerent púerum Iesum paréntes eius, ut fácerent secúndum consuetúdinem legis pro eo, ipse accépit eum in ulnas suas.

℣. When His parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him after the custom of the law, then took he Him up in his arms.

In isto quidem sǽculo diu esse nolébat, et Christum in hoc sǽculo vidére cupiébat, cantans cum prophéta et dicens: Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam, et salutáre tuum da nobis. Dénique, ut novéritis ita esse istíus lætítiam, conclúsit dicens: Nunc dimíttis servum tuum in pace: quia vidérunt óculi mei salutáre tuum. Prophétæ cecinérunt Conditórem cæli et terræ in terra cum homínibus futúrum; Angelus nuntiávit Creatórem carnis et spíritus in carne ventúrum; salutávit Ioánnes ex útero in útero Salvatórem; Símeon senex Deum agnóvit infántem.

He wished not to remain long in the world, but he longed to see Christ in the world, singing with the Prophet, and saying: Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation. Ps. lxxxiv. 8. And now at last, that ye may know that the cause of his joy was that this prayer was granted, he saith: Now lettest Thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation. The Prophets have sung that the Maker of heaven and earth would converse on earth with men, an angel hath declared that the Creator of flesh and spirit would come in the flesh, the unborn John, yet in the womb, hath saluted the unborn Saviour yet in the womb. The old man Simeon hath seen God, a little Child.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 2:22-32

Luke 2:22-32

In illo témpore: Postquam impléti sunt dies purgatiónis Maríæ secúndum legem Móysi, tulérunt Iesum in Ierúsalem, ut sísterent eum Dómino, sicut scriptum est in lege Dómini. Et réliqua.

In that time, after the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, as it is written in the law of the Lord. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily on this passage by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Liber 2 Comment. in Lucæ cap. 2, post initium

Bk. 2, Comm. on Luke II

Et ecce homo erat in Ierúsalem, cui nomen Símeon, et homo iste iustus et timorátus, exspéctans consolatiónem Israël. Non solum ab Angelis, et prophétis, et a pastóribus, sed étiam a senióribus et iustis generátio Dómini accépit testimónium. Omnis ætas, et utérque sexus, eventorúmque mirácula fidem ástruunt. Virgo génerat, stérilis parit, mutus lóquitur, Elísabeth prophétat, Magus adórat, útero clausus exsúltat, vídua confitétur, iustus exspéctat.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. The birth of the Lord is attested not only by Angels and Prophets, and shepherds, but also by elders and just men. Every age, and both sexes, as well as the miracles of the events themselves, are here to strengthen our faith. A virgin conceiveth, a barren woman beareth, a dumb man speaketh, Elizabeth prophesieth, the wise man worshippeth, the unborn child leapeth, the widow praiseth, and the just man waiteth.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Suscípiens Iesum in ulnas suas Símeon, exclamávit, et dixit:

℟. Simeon took Jesus up in his arms, and cried out, and said:

* Tu es vere lumen ad illuminatiónem géntium, et glóriam plebis tuæ Israël.

* Verily Thou art a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the Glory of thy people Israel.

℣. Cum indúcerent púerum Iesum paréntes eius, et ipse accépit eum in ulnas suas, et benedíxit Deum, et dixit.

℣. When His parents brought in the Child Jesus, then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said:

℟. Tu es vere lumen ad illuminatiónem géntium, et glóriam plebis tuæ Israël.

℟. Verily Thou art a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the Glory of thy people Israel.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Cuius festum cólimus, ipsa Virgo vírginum intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum.

Benediction. She whose feast-day we are keeping, Mary, blessed Maid of Maidens, be our Advocate with God.

℟. Amen.

Et bene iustus, qui non suam, sed pópuli grátiam requirébat, cúpiens ipse corpóreæ vínculis fragilitátis exsólvi, sed exspéctans vidére promíssum: sciébat enim quia beáti óculi qui eum vidérent. Et ipse accépit eum in ulnas suas, et benedíxit Deum, et dixit: Nunc dimítte servum tuum, Dómine, secúndum verbum tuum in pace. Vide iustum, velut corpóreæ cárcere molis inclúsum, velle dissólvi, ut incípiat esse cum Christo. Dissólvi enim, et cum Christo esse, multo mélius est.

Well is he called just, who looked not for favour for himself, but for consolation for his people. He desired to be set free from the bondage of this frail body, but he waited to see the Promised One for he knew that blessed are the eyes that see Him. Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said: Lord, now lettest Thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word. Behold a just man, confined in the weary prison of the body, desiring to be dissolved and to begin to be with Christ. For to be dissolved and to be with Christ is much better. Phil. i. 23.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Senex Púerum portábat, Puer autem senem regébat:

℟. The old man bore the Child, but the Child was the old man's King;

* Quem virgo concépit, virgo péperit, virgo post partum, quem génuit, adorávit.

* Even that Child Whom a virgin bore, and remained a virgin as before; and when that virgin had brought Him into the world, she fell down and worshipped Him.

℣. Accípiens Símeon Púerum in mánibus, grátias agens benedíxit Dóminum.

℣. Simeon took the Child up in his arms, and gave thanks, and blessed the Lord.

℟. Quem virgo concépit, virgo péperit, virgo post partum, quem génuit, adorávit.

℟. Even that Child Whom a virgin bore, and remained a virgin as before; and when that virgin had brought Him into the world, she fell down and worshipped Him.

Sed qui vult dimítti, véniat in templum, véniat in Ierúsalem, exspéctet Christum Dómini, accípiat in mánibus Verbum Dei, complectátur opéribus velut quibúsdam suæ fídei brácchiis: tunc dimittétur, ut non vídeat mortem, qui víderit Vitam. Vides úberem in omnes grátiam, Dómini generatióne diffúsam, et prophetíam incrédulis negátam esse, non iustis. Ecce et Símeon prophétat, in ruínam et resurrectiónem plurimórum venísse Dóminum Iesum Christum, ut iustórum iniquorúmque mérita discérnat; et pro nostrórum qualitáte factórum, iudex verus et iustus aut supplícia decérnat aut prǽmia.

Whosoever will be dissolved and be with Christ, let him come into the Temple, let him come to Jerusalem, let him wait for the Lord's Christ, let him take hold on the Word of God, let him embrace it with good works, as it were with arms of faith and then let him depart in peace, for he shall not see death, who hath seen life. Behold how the Lord's Birth doth overflow with abounding grace for all, and prophecy is not denied to the just, but to the unbelieving. Behold, Simeon prophesieth that the Lord Jesus Christ is come for the fall and rising again of many; yea, He shall separate the just from the unjust by their deserts, and according as our work shall be, so shall the true and righteous Judge command us to be punished or rewarded.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Tértio Nonas Februárii Luna quinta décima Anno Dómini 2026

On the morrow we keep in England the feast of the holy Confessor Laurence, Archbishop of Canterbury, who governed that church in succession to holy Augustin, and who converted King Ethelbert himself to the faith, of whom mention is made as upon this day.

February 3rd 2026, the 15th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Sebáste, in Arménia, pássio sancti Blásii, Epíscopi et Mártyris; qui, multórum patrátor miraculórum, sub Agricoláo Prǽside, post diútinam cæsiónem, atque in ligno suspensiónem, ubi férreis pectínibus carnes eius dirúptæ sunt, post tetérrimum cárcerem et in lacum demérsionem, unde salvus exívit, tandem, iubénte eódem Iúdice, una cum duóbus púeris, cápite truncátur. Ante ipsum vero septem mulíeres, quæ guttas sánguinis, ex eiúsdem Mártyris córpore defluéntes, dum torquerétur, colligébant, proptérea, deprehénsæ quod essent Christiánæ, omnes, post dira torménta, gládio percússæ sunt.

In Africa sancti Celeríni Diáconi, qui, decem et novem dies custódia cárceris septus, in nervo et ferro variísque pœnis gloriósus fuit Christi Conféssor; et, dum inexpugnábili firmitáte certáminis sui vicit adversárium, vincéndi céteris viam fecit.

At Sebaste, in Armenia, the holy martyr Blase, (about the year 316,) Bishop of that city, and the worker of many miracles. Under the President Agricolaus he was long flogged, then hung to a beam, where his flesh was rent with iron combs, then he suffered a foul imprisonment, after which he was cast into the lake, and, forasmuch as he came out thence unhurt, he was beheaded, by order of the same judge, along with two lads.

Ibídem sanctórum trium Mártyrum, ipsíus Celeríni Diáconi consanguineórum, scílicet Laurentíni pátrui, Ignátii avúnculi, et Celérinæ áviæ, qui ántea martýrio coronáti fúerant; de quorum ómnium gloriósis láudibus exstat beáti Cypriáni epístola.

Before him seven women, who were collecting the drops of his blood as they fell during the torture, were arrested for being Christians, and after being grievously tormented were put to the sword.

Isa 38:10-23

38:10 Ego dixi: In dimídio diérum meórum * vadam ad portas ínferi.

38:10 I said: In the midst of my days * I shall go to the gates of hell:

38:11 Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. * Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium.

38:11 I sought for the residue of my years. * I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.

38:12 Non aspíciam hóminem ultra, * et habitatórem quiétis.

38:12 I shall behold man no more, * nor the inhabitant of rest.

38:13 Generátio mea abláta est, et convolúta est a me, * quasi tabernáculum pastórum.

38:13 My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, * as a shepherd’s tent.

38:14 Præcísa est velut a texénte, vita mea: dum adhuc ordírer, succídit me: * de mane usque ad vésperam fínies me.

38:14 My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: * from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

38:15 Sperábam usque ad mane, * quasi leo sic contrívit ómnia ossa mea:

38:15 I hoped till morning, * as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:

38:16 De mane usque ad vésperam fínies me: * sicut pullus hirúndinis sic clamábo, meditábor ut colúmba:

38:16 From morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. * I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove:

38:17 Attenuáti sunt óculi mei, * suspiciéntes in excélsum.

38:17 My eyes are weakened * looking upward:

38:18 Dómine, vim pátior, respónde pro me. * Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?

38:18 Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. * What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?

38:19 Recogitábo tibi omnes annos meos * in amaritúdine ánimæ meæ.

38:19 I will recount to thee all my years * in the bitterness of my soul.

38:20 O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:

38:21 But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, * thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

38:22 Quia non inférnus confitébitur tibi, neque mors laudábit te: * non exspectábunt qui descéndunt in lacum, veritátem tuam.

38:22 For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: * nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth.

De libro Génesis

Lesson from the book of Genesis

Gen 3:1-7

Gen 3:1-7

1 Sed et serpens erat callídior cunctis animántibus terræ quæ fécerat Dóminus Deus. Qui dixit ad mulíerem: Cur præcépit vobis Deus ut non comederétis de omni ligno paradísi?

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?

2 Cui respóndit múlier: De fructu lignórum, quæ sunt in paradíso, véscimur:

2 And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:

3 De fructu vero ligni quod est in médio paradísi, præcépit nobis Deus ne comederémus, et ne tangerémus illud, ne forte moriámur.

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.

4 Dixit autem serpens ad mulíerem: Nequáquam morte moriémini.

4 And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.

5 Scit enim Deus quod in quocúmque die comedéritis ex eo, aperiéntur óculi vestri, et éritis sicut dii, sciéntes bonum et malum.

5 For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.

6 Vidit ígitur múlier quod bonum esset lignum ad vescéndum, et pulchrum óculis, aspectúque delectábile: et tulit de fructu illíus, et comédit: dedítque viro suo, qui comédit.

6 And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.

7 Et apérti sunt óculi ambórum;

7 And the eyes of them both were opened.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Plantáverat autem Dóminus Deus paradísum voluptátis a princípio:

℟. And the Lord God had planted a garden aforetime in Eden,

* In quo pósuit hóminem, quem formáverat.

* And there He put the man whom He had formed.

℣. Produxítque Dóminus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu, et ad vescéndum suáve; lignum étiam vitæ in médio paradísi.

℣. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden.

℟. In quo pósuit hóminem, quem formáverat.

℟. And there He put the man whom He had formed.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Gen 3:7-13

Gen 3:7-13

7 Cumque cognovíssent se esse nudos, consuérunt fólia ficus, et fecérunt sibi perizómata.

7 When they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.

8 Et cum audíssent vocem Dómini Dei deambulántis in paradíso ad auram post merídiem, abscóndit se Adam et uxor eius a fácie Dómini Dei in médio ligni paradísi.

8 And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.

9 Vocavítque Dóminus Deus Adam, et dixit ei: Ubi es?

9 And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?

10 Qui ait: Vocem tuam audívi in paradíso, et tímui, eo quod nudus essem, et abscóndi me.

10 And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.

11 Cui dixit: Quis enim indicávit tibi quod nudus esses, nisi quod ex ligno de quo præcéperam tibi ne coméderes, comedísti?

11 And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?

12 Dixítque Adam: Múlier, quam dedísti mihi sóciam, dedit mihi de ligno, et comédi.

12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 Et dixit Dóminus Deus ad mulíerem: Quare hoc fecísti? Quæ respóndit: Serpens decépit me, et comédi.

13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

Gen 3:14-20

Gen 3:14-20

14 Et ait Dóminus Deus ad serpéntem: Quia fecísti hoc, maledíctus es inter ómnia animántia, et béstias terræ: super pectus tuum gradiéris, et terram cómedes cunctis diébus vitæ tuæ.

14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and the beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

15 Inimicítias ponam inter te et mulíerem, et semen tuum et semen illíus: ipsa cónteret caput tuum, et tu insidiáberis calcáneo eius.

15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

16 Mulíeri quoque dixit: Multiplicábo ærúmnas tuas, et concéptus tuos: in dolóre páries fílios, et sub viri potestáte eris, et ipse dominábitur tui.

16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.

17 Adæ vero dixit: Quia audísti vocem uxóris tuæ, et comedísti de ligno, ex quo præcéperam tibi ne coméderes, maledícta terra in ópere tuo: in labóribus cómedes ex ea cunctis diébus vitæ tuæ.

17 And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.

18 Spinas et tríbulos germinábit tibi, et cómedes herbam terræ.

18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou eat the herbs of the earth.

19 In sudóre vultus tui vescéris pane, donec revertáris in terram de qua sumptus es: quia pulvis es et in púlverem revertéris.

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.

20 Et vocávit Adam nomen uxóris suæ, Heva: eo quod mater esset cunctórum vivéntium.

20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.

Andréam, Floréntiæ ex nóbili Corsinórum família natum, paréntes précibus a Deo impetrárunt et Deíparæ spopondérunt. Adoléscens pie educátus, sensim ad vítia proclívis, sæpe a matre increpátus fuit. Ubi autem cognóvit se paréntum voto beátæ Vírgini dicátum fuísse, Dei amóre succénsus, Carmelitárum institútum ampléxus est, cuius regímini in Etrúria præféctus fuit. Intérea Fesulána ecclésia, suo viduáta pastóre, eum sibi epíscopum elégit: quod munus, ne divínæ contradíceret voluntáti, tandem suscépit, et summo cum animárum zelo et pastoráli solicitúdine adimplévit. Ab Urbáno quinto ad sedándas Bonóniæ turbas legátus missus, mortália cívium ódia, summa prudéntia restínxit. Assíduis labóribus ac pœnis conféctus, quiévit in pace, anno millésimo tercentésimo septuagésimo tértio, ætátis suæ septuagésimo primo. Quem Urbánus octávus Sanctórum número adscrípsit.

Andrew, of the noble family of the Corsini of Florence, was born in answer to his parents' prayer to God, and dedicated to the Mother of God. He was brought up devoutly in his youth, yet was inclined to evil ways and often rebuked by his mother. But when he realized that he had been dedicated to the Virgin by his parents' vow, he became fired with the love of God and joined the Carmelite Order, becoming its superior in Etruria. In the meantime, the Church of Fiesole had been widowed of its shepherd, and elected Andrew as its bishop. He finally agreed to undertake this office, lest he should go against the will of God, and carried it out with the greatest zeal for souls and with pastoral solicitude. Urban V sent him as his legate to Bologna to restore order among the seditious populace, and with the greatest prudence he managed to extinguish the mortal feuds among its citizens. Worn out with his unceasing toils and sufferings he slept in peace in the year 1377, at the age of seventy-one, and Urban VIII enrolled him among the Saints.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

51:4 Tota die iniustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.

52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

In Pontus, are commemorated very many holy martyrs in the persecution under the Emperor Maximian, (fourth century.) Some had molten lead poured upon them, some were tortured by having sharp reeds thrust under their nails, and were tormented with many most grievous sufferings, which were renewed again and again, and so by their illustrious passion earned palms and crowns from the Lord.

In Ponto commemorátio plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum, in persecutióne Maximiáni; quorum álii plumbo liquénti perfúsi, álii acútis arundínibus in únguibus cruciáti, ac multis horréndis vexáti torméntis, iisdémque sǽpius iterátis, palmas a Dómino et corónas illústri passióne meruérunt.

At Vienne, (in Dauphinais,) the blessed Confessor Avitus, (in the year 525,) Bishop of that see, by whose faith, labour, and wonderful teaching Gaul was shielded against the Arian heresy.

Sabióne, in Rhǽtia secúnda, sancti Ingenuíni Epíscopi, cuius vita miráculis éxstitit gloriósa. Sacrum vero ipsíus corpus Brixinónem póstea translátum fuit, ibíque honorífice asservátum.

1 Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Rex, et collaudábo te Deum Salvatórem meum.

1 A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. I will give glory to thee, O Lord, O King, and I will praise thee, O God my Saviour.

2 Confitébor nómini tuo: quóniam adiútor et protéctor factus es mihi,

2 I will give glory to thy name: for thou hast been a helper and protector to me.

3 Et liberásti corpus meum a perditióne, a láqueo linguæ iníquæ et a lábiis operántium mendácium, et in conspéctu astántium factus es mihi adiútor.

3 And hast preserved my body from destruction, from the snare of an unjust tongue, and from the lips of them that forge lies, and in the sight of them that stood by, thou hast been my helper.

4 Et liberásti me secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ nóminis tui a rugiéntibus, præparátis ad escam:

4 And thou hast delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of thy name, from them that did roar, prepared to devour.

5 De mánibus quæréntium ánimam meam, et de portis tribulatiónum, quæ circumdedérunt me;

5 Out of the hands of them that sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions, which compassed me about:

6 A pressúra flammæ, quæ circúmdedit me, et in médio ignis non sum æstuáta;

6 From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt.

7 De altitúdine ventris ínferi, et a lingua coinquináta, et a verbo mendácii, a rege iníquo, et a lingua iniústa.

7 From the depth of the belly of hell, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from a slanderous tongue:

* Thou foul, cruel, and bloody tyrant, art thou not ashamed to do this to me, having thyself sucked at a mother's breast?

℣. Ego enim hábeo mamíllas íntegras intus in ánima mea, quas ab infántia Dómino consecrávi.

℣. I have breasts within, which have been the Lord's from my childhood, and them thou canst not mangle.

Agatha, in Sicília nobílibus paréntibus nata, in persecutióne Décii imperatóris, Cátanæ gloriósum martýrium fecit. Nam cum Quintiánus, Sicíliæ prætor, ómnibus modis eius pudicítiam frustra tentásset, Agatha, superstitiónis christiánæ nómine comprehénsa, primum cólaphis cǽditur, dein admótis candéntibus láminis in equúleo torquétur, tum ei mamílla abscínditur. Mox coniécta in víncula, a beáto Petro Apóstolo, noctu ei apparénte, sanátur. Rursum evocáta a prætóre et in Christi confessióne persevérans, in acútis téstulis et candéntibus carbónibus ei subiéctis volutátur. Sed, ob ingéntem terræmótum veheménter commóta civitáte, Quintiánus, véritus pópuli tumúltum, eam semimórtuam clam redúci ímperat in cárcerem; ubi paulo post migrávit in cælum, nonis februárii.

Agatha, born in Sicily of noble parents, suffered a glorious martyrdom at Catania In the persecution of the emperor Decius. For when Quintianus, the praetor of Sicily, had vainly tried every means to tempt her from her virginity, he had her arrested as adhering to the Christian superstition. First she was beaten, then tortured on the rack with white hot iron plates laid on her; then one of her breasts was cut off. Next she was thrown into prison, where St. Peter the Apostle appeared to her by night and healed her. Again called before the praetor she persevered in confessing Christ, and he had her rolled over broken pottery and burning coals. But then a great earthquake violently shook the city, and Quintianus, afraid of a riot among the people, gave orders that Agatha, now half dead, secretly be taken back to prison. There after a short time she went to heaven on February 5.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.

72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.

72:28 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:

78:10 Ne forte dicant in géntibus: Ubi est Deus eórum? * et innotéscat in natiónibus coram óculis nostris.

78:10 Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? * And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes,

78:10 Últio sánguinis servórum tuórum, qui effúsus est: * intróeat in conspéctu tuo gémitus compeditórum.

78:10 By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed: * let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee.

Titus, Creténsium epíscopus, qui inter discípulos Doctóris géntium merúerit cooptári, ádeo evangelizándi ardóre et fidelitáte Paulo éxstitit carus, ut, cum hic venísset Tróadem propter Evangélium Christi, testátus sit non habuísse réquiem spirítui suo, eo quod Titum fratrem suum ibi non invénerit. Et paulo post Macedóniam petens, suam in eum caritátem ita confírmat: Sed qui consolátur húmiles, consolátus est nos Deus in advéntu Titi. Corínthum ab Apóstolo missus, sapiénter functus est múnere huius legatiónis, quæ præsértim eleemósynas colligéndas ad sublevándam Ecclésiæ Hebræórum inópiam spectábat. Interim ad effundéndum divíni verbi semen inter gentes linguis locísque distínctas, post tot itínera et labóres cum duce Paulo Cretam ínsulam áppulit. Porro, cum isti ecclésiæ epíscopus ab ipso Apóstolo deléctus esset, se ipsum prǽbuit exémplum bonórum óperum. Tráditur ipse inter Dálmatas, ut crucis vexíllum explicáret, strénue consudásse. Tandem plenus méritis, quarto supra nonagésimum anno, óbiit in Dómino.

Titus, bishop of Crete, had the privilege of being associated with the disciples of the Doctor of the Gentiles. He was so particularly dear to Paul for his zeal in preaching the Gospel and for his faithfulness that, when Paul had gone to Troas for the sake of the Gospel of Christ, he declared that his spirit had no rest because he had not found his brother Titus there. And a little later, on his way to Macedonia, he confirmed his love for Titus by writing, “But God, who comforts the humble, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.” The Apostle sent him to Corinth, and he carried out with great wisdom his commission there, which was particularly for the purpose of collecting alms to aid the needy Church of the Hebrews. In the meantime, to spread the seed of the divine word among peoples of different places and languages, after many journeys and toils under Paul's leadership, he reached the island of Crete. Later, when he was made bishop of this Church by the Apostle himself, he gave an example of good works. It is said that he went to Dalmatia and made great efforts there to unfurl the standard of the Cross. At length full of merits, he died in the Lord at the age of ninety-four years.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

February 7th 2026, the 19th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Sancti Romuáldi Abbátis, Monachórum Camaldulénsium Patris, cuius dies natális tertiodécimo Kaléndas Iúlii recensétur, sed festívitas hac die, ob Translatiónem córporis eius, potíssimum celebrátur.

Augústæ, cui nunc Londíni nomen, in Británnia, natális beáti Auguli Epíscopi, qui, ætátis cursu per martýrium expléto, ætérna prǽmia suscípere méruit.

In London, [in the fourth century,] the blessed Augulus, Bishop of that city, who ended his life by martyrdom, and so secured the everlasting prize.

In Phrygia, the holy martyr Adaucus. He was an Italian of noble birth, and had been honoured by the emperors with dignities of almost every rank, and was still quaestor when he gained the crown of martyrdom in defence of the faith, [in the year 304, at Andandros, a town of Phrygia.] Likewise many other holy martyrs, citizens of the same city, [including the Prefect of the Treasury, the Military Prefect, and the Senate,] who followed with Adaucus. They were all Christians and remained steadfast in the confession of the faith, and the Emperor Galerius Maximian caused them all to be burned with fire.

Ibídem plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum, urbis uníus cívium, quorum dux erat idem Adáucus; qui, cum omnes Christiáni essent, et constánter in fídei confessióne persísterent, a Galério Maximiáno Imperatóre sunt igne consúmpti.

At Heraclea, the holy martyr Theodore. He was a trainer of the soldiery, and in the reign of the Emperor Licinius was beheaded after suffering many torments, and so passed away a conqueror to heaven, [in the year 319.]

Heracléæ, in Ponto, sancti Theodóri, ductoris mílitum, qui, Licínio imperánte, post multa torménta, truncátus cápite, victor migrávit in cælum.

In Egypt, holy Moses, the venerable Bishop of [the Saracens in Arabia.] He first lived as a hermit in the desert, but afterwards was made Bishop at the desire of Mauvia, Queen of the Saracens, converted many of that fierce people to the faith, and at length fell asleep in peace, glorious for worthy works.

In Ægýpto sancti Móysis, Epíscopi venerábilis, qui primum in erémo vitam solitáriam duxit; deínde, peténte Regína Saracenórum Máuvia, Epíscopus factus, gentem illam ferocíssimam magna ex parte ad fidem convértit, et gloriósus méritis quiévit in pace.

At Lucca, in Tuscany, [in the year 722,] holy Richard, Prince of the West Saxons in England, and father of holy Winibald, Willibald, and Walburg.

Romuáldus, Ravénnæ, Sérgio patre, nóbili génere natus, adoléscens in propínquum monastérium Classénse pœniténtiæ causa secéssit; ubi ad pietátis stúdium veheméntius incénsus et beáti Apollináris apparitióne recreátus, mónachus effícitur. Ieiúniis et oratiónibus assídue se exércuit, vultu tamen ádeo lætus, ut intuéntes exhilaráret. Martýrii cupiditáte flagrans, dum in Pannóniam proficíscitur, morbo corréptus, revérti cógitur. Institúti monachórum Camaldulénsium auctor fuit, quos tamquam ángelos scalam cælum pertingéntem ascéndere per visum conspéxit. Dénique cum annos centum et vigínti ágeret, et centum ipsos in summa vitæ asperitáte Deo servísset, ad eum migrávit, anno salútis millésimo vigésimo séptimo, et Fabriáni in ecclésia sui órdinis honorífice cónditus est.

Romuald was born of a noble family of Ravenna, his father's name being Sergius. As a young man, he withdrew to the neighboring monastery of Classis to lead a life of penance. There, fired with great eagerness for the love of God and encouraged by an apparition of St. Apollinaris, he became a monk. He exercised himself un-wearyingly in fasting and prayer, and such joy showed on his face that it gladdened all those who saw him. Burning with desire for martyrdom, he set out for Pannonia, but was taken ill and forced to return. He became the founder of the Order of Camaldolese monks, whom he had seen in a vision as Angels mounting a ladder that reached up to heaven. When he had reached the age of a hundred and twenty, having served God in the greatest austerity for a hundred of those years, he at length made his way to Him in the Year of salvation 1027, and was buried with honor in the church of his Order at Fabriano.

Gen 5:31; 6:1-4

31 Noë vero cum quingentórum esset annórum, génuit Sem, Cham et Iapheth.

31 Noe, when he was five hundred years old, begot Sem, Cham, and Japheth.

1 Cumque cœpíssent hómines multiplicári super terram, et fílias procreássent,

1 And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,

2 Vidéntes fílii Dei fílias hóminum quod essent pulchræ, accepérunt sibi uxóres ex ómnibus, quas elégerant.

2 The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose.

3 Dixítque Deus: Non permanébit spíritus meus in hómine in ætérnum, quia caro est: erúntque dies illíus centum vigínti annórum.

3 And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

4 Gigántes autem erant super terram in diébus illis: postquam enim ingréssi sunt fílii Dei ad fílias hóminum, illǽque genuérunt, isti sunt poténtes a sǽculo viri famósi.

5 And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,

6 Pœnítuit eum quod hóminem fecísset in terra. Et tactus dolóre cordis intrínsecus,

6 It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,

7 Delébo, inquit, hóminem, quem creávi, a fácie terræ, ab hómine usque ad animántia, a réptili usque ad vólucres cæli: pœ́nitet enim me fecísse eos.

7 He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 8:4-15

Luke 8:4-15

In illo témpore: Cum autem turba plúrima convenírent, et de civitátibus properárent ad Iesum, dixit per similitúdinem: Exiit qui séminat, semináre semen suum. Et réliqua.

At that time: When much people were gathered together, and were come to Jesus out of every city, he spake by a parable. A sower went out to sow his seed. And so on, and that which followeth.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 15 in Evangelia

15th on the Gospels

Léctio sancti Evangélii, quam modo, fratres caríssimi, audístis, expositióne non índiget, sed admonitióne. Quam enim per semetípsam Véritas expósuit, hanc discútere humána fragílitas non præsúmat. Sed est quod sollícite in hac ipsa expositióne Domínica pensáre debeámus: quia si nos vobis semen verbum, agrum mundum, vólucres dæmónia, spinas divítias significáre dicerémus ad credéndum nobis mens fórsitan vestra dubitáret. Unde et idem Dóminus per semetípsum dignátus est expónere quod dicébat, ut sciátis rerum significatiónes quǽrere in iis étiam, quæ per semetípsum nóluit explanáre.

Dearly beloved brethren, the passage from the Holy Gospel which ye have just heard, needeth not so much that I should explain it, as that I should seek to enforce its lesson. The Truth Himself hath explained it, and, after that, it beseemeth not man's frailty to fritter away His exposition by any further comment. But there is, in that very explanation by the Lord, somewhat, which it behoveth us well to weigh. If it were but we who bade you believe that by the seed is signified the word; by the field, the world; by the birds, the devils; and by the thorns, riches ye would perchance doubt of the truth of our explanation. Therefore the Lord Himself hath vouchsafed to give this explanation, and that, not for this parable only, but that ye may know in what manner to interpret others, whereof He hath not given the meaning.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Cum turba plúrima convenírent ad Iesum, et de civitátibus properárent ad eum, dixit per similitúdinem:

℟. When much people were gathered together to Jesus, and were come to Him out of every city, He spake by a parable:

* Exiit qui séminat, semináre semen suum.

* A sower went out to sow his seed.

℣. Et dum séminat, áliud cécidit in terram bonam, et ortum fecit fructum céntuplum.

℣. And, as he sowed, some fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundred-fold.

℟. Exiit qui séminat, semináre semen suum.

℟. A sower went out to sow his seed.

℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Alexandríæ natális sanctæ Apollóniæ, Vírginis et Mártyris, cui persecutóres, sub Décio, dentes omnes primum excussérunt. Deínde, constrúcto ac succénso rogo, iídem commináti sunt, nisi cum eis ímpia verba proférret, vivam se eam incensúros; at illa, cum páululum intra semetípsam deliberásset, repénte se de mánibus impiórum prorípuit, et in ignem, quem paráverant, maióre Sancti Spíritus flamma intus ǽstuans, sponte ita prosilívit, ut perterreréntur étiam ipsi crudelitátis auctóres, quod prómptior invénta esset ad mortem fémina quam persecútor ad pœnam.

At Alexandria, [in the year 249,] the holy Virgin Apollonia. The persecutors under the Emperor Decius first beat out all her teeth, then they built and kindled a funeral fire and threatened to burn her alive upon it unless she would join them in uttering sinful words. She thought a little while within herself, and then the fire of the Holy Ghost flaming up within her, she tore herself suddenly out of the hands of those wicked men and leapt of her own accord into the fire which they had made ready, so that the very actors in this cruelty were awestruck to find a woman more ready to die than were they to kill her.

Romæ pássio sanctórum Mártyrum Alexándri et aliórum trigínta octo coronatórum.

At Rome, the holy martyrs Alexander, and thirty-eight others who were crowned at the same time.

Cyríllus Alexandrínus, Theóphili epíscopi Alexandríni nepos, étiam adoléscens præcelléntis ingénii specímina dedit. Theóphilo vita functo, ad illíus sedem evéctus, et factus forma gregis ex ánimo, óptimi pastóris glóriam adéptus est. Singuláre eius pro cathólicæ fídei incolumitáte stúdium enítuit contra Nestórium Constantinopolitánum epíscopum, asseréntem Iesum Christum ex María Vírgine hóminem tantum et non Deum natum, eíque divinitátem pro méritis esse collátam; cuius emendatiónem cum frustra tentásset, eum sancto Cælestíno Papæ denuntiávit. Huius Pontíficis delegáta auctoritáte, nonnúllis sessiónibus prǽfuit Concílii Ephesíni, in quo hǽresis Nestoriána pénitus proscrípta est, damnátus Nestórius et a sua Sede deiéctus, ac dogma cathólicum de una in Christo eáque divína persóna, et divína gloriósæ Vírginis Maríæ maternitáte assértum. De sola fide sollícitus, et proptérea plura perpéssus, máximis pro Ecclésia Dei perfúnctus labóribus, plurimísque scriptis éditis, sancto fine quiévit, anno quadringentésimo quadragésimo quarto, episcopátus trigésimo secúndo.

Cyril of Alexandria was the nephew of Theophilus, bishop of Alexandria, and even as a young man gave evidence of unusual brilliance. When Theophilus died, Cyril succeeded to his see and, “becoming from the heart a pattern to the flock,” gained glory as the best of shepherds. He shone in a special way in his zeal for the integrity of the Catholic faith against Nestorius, the bishop of Constantinople, who asserted that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary was a man only and not as God, and that divinity had been added to Him for His merits. After trying in vain to persuade Nestorius of the truth, Cyril denounced him to pope St. Celestine. As the delegate of this pope he presided over many sessions of the Council of Ephesus. In the council the Nestorian heresy was completely condemned and Nestorius himself deposed from his see, while the Catholic doctrine was proclaimed that in Christ there is but one Person and that Person divine, and that the glorious Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. Solicitous only for the faith and, as a result, enduring many things, Cyril accomplished great works for God's Church and published many writings. Finally he died a holy death in the year 444, the thirty-second year of his episcopate.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Item Romæ, via Appia, sanctæ Sotéris, Vírginis et Mártyris; quæ (ut scribit sanctus Ambrósius), nóbili génere nata, paréntum Consulátus et Præfectúras ob Christum contémpsit.

Also at Rome, [in the year 304,] upon the Appian Way, the holy Virgin and martyr Soteres, who, as holy Ambrose writeth, was born of a noble family, but for Christ's sake despised the consular and prefectural dignities of her race. When she was commanded to offer sacrifice and would not, she was long and heavily buffeted, and when she had overcome other punishments also, she was smitten with the sword and so departed joyfully hence, to be ever with Christ the Bridegroom.

38:8 And now what is my hope? Is it not the Lord? * And my substance is with thee.

38:9 Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me: * oppróbrium insipiénti dedísti me.

38:10 Obmútui, et non apérui os meum, quóniam tu fecísti: * ámove a me plagas tuas.

38:10 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it: * remove thy scourges from me.

38:12 A fortitúdine manus tuæ ego deféci in increpatiónibus: * propter iniquitátem corripuísti hóminem.

38:12 The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: * thou hast corrected man for iniquity.

38:12 Et tabéscere fecísti sicut aráneam ánimam eius: * verúmtamen vane conturbátur omnis homo.

38:12 And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: * surely in vain is any man disquieted.

38:13 Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, et deprecatiónem meam: * áuribus pércipe lácrimas meas.

1 Recordátus autem Deus Noë, cunctorúmque animántium, et ómnium iumentórum, quæ erant cum eo in arca, addúxit spíritum super terram, et imminútæ sunt aquæ.

1 And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated.

2 Et clausi sunt fontes abýssi, et cataráctæ cæli: et prohíbitæ sunt plúviæ de cælo.

2 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.

3 Reversǽque sunt aquæ de terra eúntes et redeúntes: et cœpérunt mínui post centum quinquagínta dies.

3 And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.

4 Requievítque arca mense séptimo, vigésimo séptimo die mensis, super montes Arméniæ.

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.

Gen 8:5-9

Gen 8:5-9

5 At vero aquæ ibant et decrescébant usque ad décimum mensem: décimo enim mense, primo die mensis, apparuérunt cacúmina móntium.

5 And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

6 Cumque transíssent quadragínta dies, apériens Noë fenéstram arcæ, quam fécerat, dimísit corvum,

6 And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:

7 Qui egrediebátur, et non revertebátur, donec siccaréntur aquæ super terram.

7 Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.

8 Emísit quoque colúmbam post eum, ut vidéret si iam cessássent aquæ super fáciem terræ.

8 He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.

9 Quæ cum non invenísset ubi requiésceret pes eius, revérsa est ad eum in arcam.

9 But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark.

Gen 8:10-13

Gen 8:10-13

10 Expectátis autem ultra septem diébus áliis, rursum dimísit colúmbam ex arca.

10 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

11 At illa venit ad eum ad vésperam, portans ramum olívæ viréntibus fóliis in ore suo: intelléxit ergo Noë quod cessássent aquæ super terram.

11 And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.

12 Expectavítque nihilóminus septem álios dies: et emísit colúmbam, quæ non est revérsa ultra ad eum.

12 And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.

13 Igitur sexcentésimo primo anno, primo mense, prima die mensis, imminútæ sunt aquæ super terram.

13 Therefore in the six hundreth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth.

Scholástica, venerábilis Patris Benedícti soror, ut scribit sanctus Gregórius Papa in libro secúndo Dialogórum, omnipoténti Dómino ab ipso infántiæ témpore dedicáta, ad eum semel per annum veníre consuéverat; ad quam vir Dei non longe extra iánuam in possessióne monastérii descendébat. Quadam vero die, cum ob repentínam plúviæ inundatiónem, quam a Deo Scholástica obtínuit, incumbéntibus iam noctis ténebris, venerábilis frater extra tectum exíre non posset, factum est, ut totam noctem pervígilem dúcerent atque per sacra spiritális vitæ collóquia sese vicária relatióne satiárent. Cumque die áltero éadem venerábilis fémina ad cellam própriam recessísset, vir Dei ad monastérium rédiit. Cum ecce post tríduum in cella consístens, elevátis in áëra óculis vidit eiúsdem soróris suæ ánimam de córpore egréssam in colúmbæ spécie cæli secréta penetráre. Tum Benedíctus fratres misit, ut eius corpus in sepúlcro, quod sibi ipsi paráverat, pónerent. Quo facto cóntigit, ut, quorum mens una semper in Deo fúerat, eórum quoque córpora nec sepultúra separáret.

Scholastica, sister of the venerable Father, Benedict, had been consecrated to God in early childhood, as St. Gregory tells us in the second book of his Dialogue used to visit with Benedict once a year. On these occasions he would go down to meet her in a house belonging to the monastery a short distance from the entrance. On a certain day, a sudden downpour of rain, obtained from God by Scholastica just as darkness was setting in, made it impossible for her venerable brother to leave. And so they spent the entire night together and both of them derived great profit from the holy thoughts they exchanged about the interior life. The next morning Scholastica returned to her convent and Benedict to his monastery. Three days later he stood in his room looking up toward the sky, he beheld his sister's soul leaving her body and entering the heavenly court in the form of a dove. Then Benedict sent some of his brethren to bury her body in the tomb he had prepared for himself. The bodies of these two were now to share a common resting place, just as in their souls had always been one in God.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Tértio Idus Februárii Luna vicésima tértia Anno Dómini 2026

On the morrow we keep the feast of the holy Confessor Gilbert, founder of the Order of Sempringham, of whom mention hath been made upon the 4th day of this present month of February. Likewise on the morrow we keep the feast of the Seven holy Founders of the Order of Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who after great hardship of life, famous for works and wonders, died a death precious in the sight of the Lord, upon Monte Senario, in Tuscany. The same spirit of brotherhood had made them one in life, the veneration of the people had not divided them in death, and Leo XIII enrolled their names together among those of the Saints.

February 11th 2026, the 23rd day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

In Numidia are commemorated many holy martyrs who were arrested, [in the year 303 or 304,] in the persecution aforesaid, and for as much as they would not obey the edict of the Emperor to give up the Scriptures of God, they were put to grievous torments and slain.

At Adrianople, the holy martyrs Lucius, Bishop [of Adrianople,] and his Companions. He suffered much from the Arians under the Emperor Constantius, and finished his testimony in chains, [in the year 348.] The others were some of the nobler of the citizens who were condemned to death by Count Philagrius because they refused to receive the Arians who had been then condemned in the Council of Sardica.

About four years after the definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin, a girl named Bernadette asserted that she had seen the Immaculate Mother of God several times. The place of the apparition was a grotto of the cliff by the bank of the Gave river, near the town of Lourdes, France, in the diocese of Tarbes. The many great miracles which followed were evidence enough for any prudent and faithful Christian that the finger of God was there. The location of a hitherto unknown spring at the grotto had been revealed in one of the apparitions; and the miracles for which Lourdes became best known were those very frequent occasions when the sick regained their health after drinking the water of the spring. And so, as news of the benefits said to be received by the faithful at the holy grotto was spreading abroad and the number coming there was increasing day by day, the Bishop of Tarbes carried out an official investigation and then gave permission for the cult of the Immaculate Virgin at the grotto. Soon a church was built. Vast crowds of the faithful have come to Lourdes each year, and the name of the Immaculate Mother of God continueth to increase in glory all over the world. Adding to this glory are the events during the procession of the most Blessed Sacrament: year after year, among the sick brought to Lourdes from all parts of the world to ask health from the Lord through the intercession of his Immaculate Mother, many are immediately cured. Rightly influenced by these events, Pope Pius X extended to the Universal Church the feast already granted to certain places by Leo XIII.

52:6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

52:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum convérterit Deus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob, et lætábitur Israël.

68:14 In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, * in the truth of thy salvation.

68:15 Éripe me de luto, ut non infígar: * líbera me ab iis, qui odérunt me, et de profúndis aquárum.

68:15 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: * deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

68:21 And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, * but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.

68:22 Et dedérunt in escam meam fel: * et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.

68:22 And they gave me gall for my food, * and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

68:27 Quóniam quem tu percussísti, persecúti sunt: * et super dolórem vúlnerum meórum addidérunt.

68:27 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; * and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

68:28 Appóne iniquitátem super iniquitátem eórum: * et non intrent in iustítiam tuam.

Sǽculo tértio décimo, septem e Florentína nobilitáte viri, nimírum Bonfílius Monáldius, Bonaiúncta Manéttus, Manéttus Antellénsis, Amidéus de Amidéis, Ugúccio Ugucciónum, Sostenéus de Sostenéis et Aléxius Falconérius, in rurálem quamdam ædículam secessére, Christi passiónem ac mæstíssimæ eiúsdem Matris dolóres assídue recoléntes. Illis beáta Virgo, sacra Parascéves die appárens lúgubrem vestem, quam indúerent, osténdit, sibíque acceptíssimum fore significávit, ut novum regulárem órdinem excitárent, qui iugem recóleret ac promovéret memóriam dolórum, quos ipsa pértulit sub Cruce Dómini. Tunc sancti illi viri, beáto Petro, órdinis Prædicatórum Mártyre, adiutóre, órdinem Servórum beátæ Vírginis instituérunt, et cum sóciis civitátes et óppida excúrrere cœpérunt, ubíque Christum crucifíxum verbo et exémplo prædicántes. Quos vero unus veræ fraternitátis amor in vita sociáverat, unum páriter demórtuos contéxit sepúlcrum, únaque pópuli venerátio prosecúta est. Quare Clemens undécimus et Benedíctus décimus tértius delátum iísdem indivíduum cultum confirmavérunt; Leo autem décimus tértius eos albo Sanctórum accénsuit.

In the thirteenth century there were seven Florentine noblemen namely Buonfiglio Monaldo, Buonaiuncta Manetti, Manetto del Antella, Amadeus de Amadei, Hugo Lippi, Gerard Sostegni, and Alexis Falconieri, who withdrew to a little hut in the country to meditate on the Passion of Christ and the sorrows of His grieving Mother. The Blessed Virgin appeared to them on Good Friday holding out a dark habit which they were to wear; and she made it known that it would be most pleasing to her if they should found a new order of religious who would reverence and foster the memory of the sorrows which she had suffered as she stood beneath the Lord's Cross. Then these holy men, with the help of St. Peter the Martyr of the Order of Preachers, founded the Order of Servants of the Blessed Virgin and, with their companions, began to go about through cities and towns, everywhere preaching Christ crucified, by word and by example. And, as one love had united them in a true brotherhood during life, one grave received them when they died, and they were venerated as one by popular devotion. Clement XI and Benedict XIII, therefore, confirmed this common veneration which had been paid to them, and Leo XIII enrolled them among the Saints.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:23 I am become as a beast before thee: * and I am always with thee.

72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.

72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.

105:32 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum eius.

105:32 They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit.

Ex libro sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri advérsus Ioviniánum

From the book of St. Jerome, Priest, against Jovian

Apologia ad Pammachium pro lib. adversus Iovinianum, in fine

Apologia to Panmachius to the Book against Jovian, at end

Christus virgo, Mater vírginis nostri virgo perpétua, mater et virgo. Iesus enim clausis ingréssus est óstiis; et in sepúlcro eius, quod novum et in petra duríssima fúerat excísum, nec ántea quis nec póstea pósitus est. Hortus conclúsus, fons signátus. De quo fonte ille flúvius manat, iuxta Ioël, qui írrigat torréntem vel fúnium vel spinárum: fúnium, peccatórum, quibus ante alligabámur; spinárum, quæ suffócant seméntem patrisfamílias. Hæc est porta orientális, ut ait Ezéchiel, semper clausa et lúcida, opériens in se vel ex se próferens Sancta sanctórum; per quam Sol iustítiæ et Póntifex noster secúndum órdinem Melchísedech ingréditur et egréditur.

Christ is virgin, and the mother of our virgin Christ remains forever virgin, the Virgin Mother. For Jesus entered the world, as he entered the upper room, “the doors being closed”, and in his sepulcher, which had been hewn out of the hard rock, “no one had yet been laid”, nor was anyone else laid in it afterward. “An enclosed garden a fountain sealed” was Mary. And from that fountain, according to Joel, flows the stream that waters the torrent either of “ropes” or of “thorns”. The ropes would be the sins by which we had been bound down; the thorns would be those which choke the householder's seed. Mary is the eastern gate, of which Ezechiel speaks, always closed and luminous, whether concealing in itself or bringing forth from itself the Holy of holies. She is the gate through which the Sun of justice and our High Priest according to the order of Melchisedech goes in and out.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

Gen 12:1-6

1 Dixit autem Dóminus ad Abram: Egrédere de terra tua, et de cognatióne tua, et de domo patris tui, et veni in terram quam monstrábo tibi.

1 And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, and come into the land which I shall show thee.

2 Faciámque te in gentem magnam, et benedícam tibi, et magnificábo nomen tuum, erísque benedíctus.

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.

3 Benedícam benedicéntibus tibi, et maledícam maledicéntibus tibi, atque in te benedicéntur univérsæ cognatiónes terræ.

3 I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed:

4 Egréssus est ítaque Abram sicut præcéperat ei Dóminus, et ivit cum eo Lot: septuagínta quinque annórum erat Abram cum egrederétur de Haran.

4 So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran.

5 Tulítque Sárai uxórem suam, et Lot fílium fratris sui, universámque substántiam quam posséderant, et ánimas quas fécerant in Haran: et egréssi sunt ut irent in terram Chánaan. Cumque veníssent in eam,

5 And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it,

6 Pertransívit Abram terram usque ad locum Sichem, usque ad convállem illústrem: Chananǽus autem tunc erat in terra.

6 Abram passed through the country into the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land.

Gen 12:7-13

7 Appáruit autem Dóminus Abram, et dixit ei: Sémini tuo dabo terram hanc. Qui ædificávit ibi altáre Dómino, qui apparúerat ei.

7 And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

8 Et inde transgrédiens ad montem, qui erat contra oriéntem Bethel, teténdit ibi tabernáculum suum, ab occidénte habens Bethel, et ab oriénte Hai: ædificávit quoque ibi altáre Dómino, et invocávit nomen eius.

8 And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name.

9 Perrexítque Abram vadens, et ultra progrédiens ad merídiem.

9 And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.

10 Facta est autem fames in terra: descendítque Abram in Ægýptum, ut peregrinarétur ibi: prævalúerat enim fames in terra.

10 And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land.

11 Cumque prope esset ut ingrederétur Ægýptum, dixit Sárai uxóri suæ: Novi quod pulchra sis múlier:

11 And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:

12 Et quod cum víderint te Ægýptii, dictúri sunt: Uxor ipsíus est: et interfícient me, et te reservábunt.

12 And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.

13 Dic ergo, óbsecro te, quod soror mea sis: ut bene sit mihi propter te, et vivat ánima mea ob grátiam tui.

13 Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake.

15 Et nuntiavérunt príncipes Pharaóni, et laudavérunt eam apud illum: et subláta est múlier in domum Pharaónis.

15 And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.

16 Abram vero bene usi sunt propter illam: fuerúntque ei oves et boves et ásini, et servi et fámulæ, et ásinæ et caméli.

16 And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and men servants and maid servants, and she asses, and camels.

17 Flagellávit autem Dóminus Pharaónem plagis máximis, et domum eius, propter Sárai uxórem Abram.

17 But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram's wife.

18 Vocavítque Phárao Abram, et dixit ei: Quidnam est hoc quod fecísti mihi? quare non indicásti quod uxor tua esset?

18 And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

19 Quam ob causam dixísti esse sorórem tuam, ut tóllerem eam mihi in uxórem? Nunc ígitur ecce coniux tua, áccipe eam, et vade.

19 For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now, therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 18:31-43

Luke 18:31-43

In illo témpore: Assúmpsit autem Iesus duódecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascéndimus Ierosólymam, et consummabúntur ómnia quæ scripta sunt per Prophétas de Fílio hóminis. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man. And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 2 in Evangelia

2nd on the Gospels

Redémptor noster, prǽvidens ex passióne sua discipulórum ánimos perturbándos, eis longe ante et eiúsdem passiónis pœnam, et resurrectiónis suæ glóriam prædíxit: ut cum eum moriéntem, sicut prædíctum est, cérnerent; étiam resurrectúrum non dubitárent. Sed quia carnáles adhuc discípuli nullo modo valébant cápere verba mystérii, venítur ad miráculum. Ante eórum óculos cæcus lumen recépit: ut qui cæléstis mystérii verba non cáperent, eos ad fidem cæléstia facta solidárent.

Our Redeemer, foreseeing that the minds of His disciples would be troubled by His suffering, told them long before both of the pains of that suffering, and of the glory of His rising again, to the end that, when they should see Him die as He had prophesied, they might not doubt that He was likewise to rise again. But, since His disciples were yet carnal, and could not receive the words telling of this mystery, He wrought a miracle before them. A blind man received his sight before their eyes, that if they could not receive heavenly things by words, they might be persuaded of heavenly things by deeds.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Cæcus sedébat secus viam, transeúnte Dómino, et clamávit ad eum: et ait illi Dóminus:

℟. As the Lord passed by, a certain blind man sat by the way-side, and cried unto Him. And the Lord asked him, saying:

* Quid vis ut fáciam tibi?

* What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? * Lord, that I may receive my sight.

* Dómine, ut vídeam lumen.

℣. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto Him; and when he was come near, He asked him, saying:

℣. Stans autem Iesus, iussit illum duci ad se, et cum appropinquásset, interrogávit eum, dicens.

℟. What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?

℟. Quid vis ut fáciam tibi?

℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

And while we sing thy praises dear,

Adésse te depóscimus.

O Father, be thou present here.

Cedant tenébræ lúmini,

As shades at morning flee away,

Et nox diúrno síderi,

Lucis labáscat múnere.

Be purged by thee, celestial Light!

7 Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.

8 Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren.

9 Ecce univérsa terra coram te est: recéde a me, óbsecro: si ad sinístram íeris, ego déxteram tenébo: si tu déxteram elégeris, ego ad sinístram pergam.

9 Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left.

Isa 38:10-24

Isa 38:10-23

38:10 Ego dixi: In dimídio diérum meórum * vadam ad portas ínferi.

38:10 I said: In the midst of my days * I shall go to the gates of hell:

38:11 Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. * Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium.

38:11 I sought for the residue of my years. * I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.

38:12 Non aspíciam hóminem ultra, * et habitatórem quiétis.

38:12 I shall behold man no more, * nor the inhabitant of rest.

38:13 Generátio mea abláta est, et convolúta est a me, * quasi tabernáculum pastórum.

38:13 My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, * as a shepherd’s tent.

38:14 Præcísa est velut a texénte, vita mea: dum adhuc ordírer, succídit me: * de mane usque ad vésperam fínies me.

38:14 My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: * from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

38:15 Sperábam usque ad mane, * quasi leo sic contrívit ómnia ossa mea:

38:15 I hoped till morning, * as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:

38:16 De mane usque ad vésperam fínies me: * sicut pullus hirúndinis sic clamábo, meditábor ut colúmba:

38:16 From morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. * I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove:

38:17 Attenuáti sunt óculi mei, * suspiciéntes in excélsum.

38:17 My eyes are weakened * looking upward:

38:18 Dómine, vim pátior, respónde pro me. * Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?

38:18 Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. * What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?

38:19 Recogitábo tibi omnes annos meos * in amaritúdine ánimæ meæ.

38:19 I will recount to thee all my years * in the bitterness of my soul.

38:20 O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:

Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the most holy fast of Lent.

Hierosólymis natális sancti Simeónis, Epíscopi et Mártyris; qui fílius Cleóphæ et propínquus Salvatóris secúndum carnem fuísse tráditur. Hic, Hierosolymórum Epíscopus post Iacóbum, fratrem Dómini, ordinátus, et, in Traiáni persecutióne, multis supplíciis afféctus, martýrio consummátus est, ómnibus qui áderant et Iúdice ipso mirántibus ut centum vigínti annórum senex fórtiter constantérque supplícium crucis pertulísset.

At Jerusalem, the blessed martyr Simeon, Bishop of that holy city [from the year 46 to the year 107.] This is he of whom it is recorded that he was the son of Cleophas and the kinsman of the Saviour according to the flesh. He was ordained Bishop of Jerusalem next after James, the brother of the Lord. In the persecution under Trajan he was put to many torments and suffered martyrdom, and the judge and all men marvelled to see with how great boldness and firmness he endured the grievous torment of the cross at his great age, for he was an hundred and twenty years old.

Apud Ostia Tiberína sanctórum Mártyrum Máximi et Cláudii fratrum, et Præpedígnæ, uxóris Cláudii, cum duóbus fíliis Alexándro et Cútia; qui, cum essent præclaríssimi géneris, omnes, iubénte Diocletiáno, tenti atque in exsílium deportáti sunt, ac deínde, incéndio concremáti, Deo ipsi odoríferum martýrii sacrifícium obtulérunt. Eórum relíquiæ, in flumen proiéctæ et a Christiánis perquisítæ, iuxta eándem civitátem sepúltæ sunt.

At Ostia, the holy brethren Maximus and Claudius, and Praeperdigna, the wife of Claudius, and their two sons, Alexander and Cutias, all martyrs, [in the year 295.] They were a very noble race, and by command of the Emperor Diocletian they were arrested and sent into exile, then they were consumed with fire, and so offered a sacrifice of sweet savour unto God himself. Their relics were cast into the river, but the Christians sought for them and buried them hard by the city.

In Africa sanctórum Mártyrum Lúcii, Silváni, Rútuli, Clássici, Secundíni, Frúctuli et Máximi.

In Africa, the holy martyrs Lucius, Sylvan, Rutulus, Classicus, Secundinus, Fructulus, and Maximus.

Constantinópoli sancti Flaviáni Epíscopi, qui, cum fidem cathólicam Ephesi propugnáret, ab ímpii Dióscori factióne pugnis et cálcibus percússus est, et, in exsílium actus, ibídem post tríduum vitam finívit.

At Constantinople, [in the year 449,] holy Flavian, Bishop of that see, who, because he defended the Catholic faith at Ephesus, was assailed by the followers of the wicked Dioscorus with cuffs and kicks, and sent into exile, where he died after three days.

Confer salútem córporum,

And while thou keep’st the body whole,

Verámque pacem córdium.

48:15 And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; * and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.

48:18 For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; * nor shall his glory descend with him.

48:19 Quia ánima eius in vita ipsíus benedicétur: * confitébitur tibi cum beneféceris ei.

48:19 For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: * and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.

48:20 Introíbit usque in progénies patrum suórum: * et usque in ætérnum non vidébit lumen.

48:20 He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: * and he shall never see light.

48:21 Homo, cum in honóre esset, non intelléxit: * comparátus est iuméntis insipiéntibus, et símilis factus est illis.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 6:16-21

Matt 6:16-21

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Cum ieiunátis, nolíte fíeri sicut hypócritæ, tristes. Et réliqua.

In that time Jesus said to his disciples: And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Lib. 2 de Serm. Domini in monte, cap. 12 tom. 4

Bk. ii on the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, ch. xii, tom. 4

Maniféstum est, his præcéptis omnem nostram intentiónem in interióra gáudia dírigi: ne foris quæréntes mercédem, huic sǽculo conformémur, et amittámus promissiónem tanto solidióris atque firmióris, quanto interióris beatitúdinis, qua nos elégit Deus confórmes fíeri imáginis Fílii sui. In hoc autem capítulo máxime adverténdum est, non in solo rerum corporeárum nitóre atque pompa, sed étiam in ipsis sórdibus luctuósis esse posse iactántiam et eo periculosiórem, quo sub nómine servitútis Dei décipit.

It is evident that by these precepts we are bidden to seek for inner gladness, lest, by running after that reward which is without, we should become conformed to the fashion of this world, and should so lose the promise of that blessing which is all the truer and more stable that it is inward, that blessing wherein God hath chosen us to be conformed to the likeness of His Son. In this chapter we will principally consider the fact that vain-glory findeth a ground for its exercise in struggling poverty as much as in worldly distinction and display; and this development is the most dangerous, because it entices under pretence of being the serving of God.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Veni hódie ad fontem aquæ, et orávi Dóminum, dicens:

℟. I came this day unto the well, and I besought the Lord, and said:

* Dómine, Deus Abraham, tu prósperum fecísti desidérium meum.

* O Lord God of Abraham, Thou hast prospered my way.

℣. Igitur puélla, cui díxero, Da mihi aquam de hýdria tua, ut bibam: et illa díxerit, Bibe, dómine, et camélis tuis potum tríbuam: ipsa est, quam præparávit Dóminus fílio dómini mei.

℣. Therefore the virgin to whom I shall say: Give me water of thy pitcher to drink; and she shall say to me: Drink, my lord, and I will give thy camels drink also; let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son.

℟. Dómine, Deus Abraham, tu prósperum fecísti desidérium meum.

Qui ergo immoderáto cultu córporis atque vestítu, vel ceterárum rerum nitóre præfúlget, fácile convíncitur rebus ipsis, pompárum sǽculi esse sectátor, nec quemquam fallit dolósa imágine sanctitátis. Qui autem in professióne christianitátis, inusitáto squalóre ac sórdibus inténtos in se óculos hóminum facit, cum id voluntáte fáciat, non necessitáte patiátur: ex céteris eius opéribus potest cónici, utrum hoc contémptu supérflui cultus, an ambitióne áliqua fáciat: quia et sub ovína pelle cavéndos lupos Dóminus præcépit: Sed ex frúctibus, inquit, eórum cognoscétis eos.

He that is characterised by unbridled indulgence in luxury or in dress, or any other display, is by these very things easily shown to be a follower of worldly vanities, and deceiveth no one by putting on an hypocritical mask of godliness. But those professors of Christianity, who turn all eyes on themselves by an eccentric show of grovelling and dirtiness, not suffered by necessity, but by their own choice, of them we must judge by their other works whether their conduct really proceedeth from the desire of mortification by giving up unnecessary comfort, or is only the mean of some ambition the Lord biddeth us beware of wolves in sheep's clothing, but by their fruits, saith He, ye shall know them.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Cum enim cœ́perint alíquibus tentatiónibus ea ipsa scílicet illis súbtrahi, vel negári, quæ isto velámine vel consecúti sunt, vel cónsequi cúpiunt: tunc necésse est ut appáreat, utrum lupus in ovína pelle sit, an ovis in sua. Non tamen proptérea ornátu supérfluo debet aspéctus hóminum mulcére Christiánus, quia illum parcum hábitum ac necessárium étiam simulatóres sǽpius usúrpant, ut incáutos decípiant: quia et illæ oves non debent pelles suas depónere, si aliquándo eis lupi se cóntegant.

The test is when, by diverse trials, such persons lose those things which under the cover of seeming unworldliness they have either gained or sought to gain. Then must it needs appear whether they be wolves in sheep's clothing, or indeed sheep in their own. But that hypocrites do the contrary maketh it no duty of a Christian to shine before the eyes of men with a display of needless luxury the sheep need not to lay aside their own clothing because wolves sometimes falsely assume it.

51:4 Tota die iniustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 8:5-13

Matt 8:5-13

In illo témpore: Cum introísset Iesus Caphárnaum, accéssit ad eum centúrio, rogans eum, et dicens: Dómine, puer meus iacet in domo paralýticus, et male torquétur. Et réliqua.

At that time, when Jesus had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him and saying: Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Lib. 2 de Consensu Evangelist. cap. 20, tom. 4

Book ii on the Agreement of the Evangelists, ch. xx, tom. 4

Videámus, utrum sibi de hoc servo centuriónis Matthǽus Lucásque conséntiant. Matthǽus enim dicit: Accéssit ad eum centúrio, rogans eum, et dicens: Puer meus iacet in domo paralýticus. Cui vidétur repugnáre quod ait Lucas: Et cum audísset de Iesu, misit ad eum senióres Iudæórum, rogans eum ut veníret, et sanáret servum eius. At illi cum veníssent ad Iesum, rogábant eum sollícite, dicéntes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes: díligit enim gentem nostram, et synagógam ipse ædificávit nobis. Iesus autem ibat cum illis: et cum iam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centúrio amícos, dicens: Dómine, noli vexári: non enim dignus sum ut sub tectum meum intres.

Let us consider whether Matthew and Luke are at one as touching this centurion's servant. Matthew saith: “There came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him, and saying: ‘Lord, my servant lieth at home sick, of the palsy.’” This seemeth to differ from what Luke saith, namely: “And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching Him that He would come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying: “That he was worthy for whom He should do this; for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.” Then Jesus went with them; and when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him: “Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof.” vii. 6, seq.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dómine, puer meus iacet paralýticus in domo, et male torquétur:

℟. Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and grievously tormented.

* Amen dico tibi, ego véniam, et curábo eum.

* Amen, I say unto thee, I will come and heal him:

℣. Dómine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur puer meus.

℣. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof, but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed:

℟. Amen dico tibi, ego véniam, et curábo eum.

℟. Amen, I say unto thee, I will come and heal him.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Si enim hoc ita gestum est, quómodo erit verum, quod Matthǽus narrat: Accéssit ad eum quidam centúrio, cum ipse non accésserit, sed amícos míserit: nisi diligénter adverténtes intellegámus Matthǽum non omnímodo deseruísse usitátum morem loquéndi? Non solum enim dícere solémus, accessísse áliquem étiam antequam pervéniat illuc, quo dícitur accessísse: unde étiam dícimus: Parum accéssit, vel multum accéssit eo, quo áppetit perveníre: verum étiam ipsam perventiónem cuius adipiscéndi causa accéditur, dícimus plerúmque factam, etsi eum, ad quem pérvenit, non vídeat ille qui pérvenit, cum per amícum pérvenit ad áliquem, cuius ei favor est necessárius. Quod ita ténuit consuetúdo, ut iam étiam vulgo perventóres appelléntur, qui poténtium quorúmlibet tamquam inaccessíbiles ánimos, per conveniéntium personárum interpositiónem, ambitiónis arte pertíngunt.

If it were done thus, how is Matthew truthful, when he saith that the centurion came unto Him, seeing that, in fact, he sent his friends? We must then look well into this, and we shall see that Matthew only made use of a common form of speech. Now, we use to say of a man that he cometh to a place even though he be not already come: whence also we say, He arrived close; or He arrived long way off, that is, to that place to which he would come; yea, we speak of that coming, toward which he tendeth, as though it had already taken place, when he that should be come at, seeth not yet him that cometh, but is come at for him by friends, to obtain his favour, which is needful for him that would come to him. And so much doth this manner of speaking hold, that they are commonly said to come at a great man, (who is beyond their personal reach,) who, by means of suitable persons, succeed in laying before him such things as they desire.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dum staret Abraham ad ílicem Mambre, vidit tres viros ascendéntes per viam:

℟. Abraham stood by the oak of Mamre, and he saw three men coming up by the path.

* Tres vidit, et unum adorávit.

* He saw three, and worshipped One.

℣. Ecce Sara uxor tua páriet tibi fílium, et vocábis nomen eius Isaac.

℣. Behold, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac.

℟. Tres vidit, et unum adorávit.

℟. He saw three, and worshipped One.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Non ergo absúrde Matthǽus, étiam quod vulgo possit intéllegi, per álios facto accéssu centuriónis ad Dóminum, compéndio dícere vóluit: Accéssit ad eum centúrio. Verúmtamen non negligénter intuénda est étiam sancti Evangelístæ altitúdo mýsticæ locutiónis, secúndum quam scriptum est in Psalmo: Accédite ad eum, et illuminámini. Proínde quia fidem centuriónis, qua vere accéditur ad Iesum, ipse ita laudávit, ut díceret: Non invéni tantam fidem in Israël: ipsum pótius accessísse ad Christum dícere vóluit prudens Evangelísta, quam illos, per quos verba sua míserat.

Therefore it is not strange that Matthew should make use of the common short phrase, and say of the centurion, who reached the Lord's sympathies, by mean of friends, that he came unto Him. Also we must needs not pass by lightly the mystic depth which underlieth the words of this holy Evangelist. It is written in the Psalms xxxiii. 6: Draw near unto Him and be enlightened. Thus did the centurion in faith draw near unto Jesus, and the Lord so praised him that He said: I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. Of him of whom these words were spoken, the Evangelist deemeth it wiser to say that he had found his way to Jesus; that he had got to Christ, than that they came, through whom he sent his message unto Him.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Tentávit Dóminus Abraham, et dixit ad eum:

℟. The Lord did tempt Abraham, and said unto him:

* Tolle fílium tuum, quem díligis, Isaac, et offer illum ibi in holocáustum super unum móntium, quem díxero tibi.

* Take thy son Isaac whom thou lovest, and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

℣. Vocátus quoque a Dómino, respóndit, Adsum: et ait ei Dóminus.

℣. And when the Lord called him, he answered: Behold, here I am. And the Lord said unto him:

℟. Tolle fílium tuum, quem díligis, Isaac, et offer illum ibi in holocáustum super unum móntium, quem díxero tibi.

℟. Take thy son Isaac whom thou lovest, and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

They were slain by Veturius, military instructor under the Emperor Diocletian, with a great number and variety of torments.

This glorious multitude were cheered on to victory by the Bishops Tyrannio, Silvan, Peleus, and Nilus, and the Priest Zenobius, who by a happy contention, along with them, gained the same palm of martyrdom together with them.

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

78:1 O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: * they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 5:43-48; 6:1-4

Matt 5:43-48; 6:1-4

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Audístis quia dictum est: Díliges próximum tuum, et ódio habébis inimícum tuum. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Lib. 1 Comm. in cap. 5 et 6 Matth.

Bk. i, Comm. on Matth. v and vi

Ego autem dico vobis: Dilígite inimícos vestros; benefácite his qui odérunt vos. Multi præcépta Dei, imbecillitáte sua, non Sanctórum víribus æstimántes, putant esse impossibília quæ præcépta sunt: et dicunt suffícere virtútibus, non odísse inimícos: céterum dilígere, plus prǽcipi, quam humána natúra patiátur. Sciéndum est ergo, Christum non impossibília præcípere, sed perfécta. Quæ fecit David in Saul, et in Absalom: Stéphanus quoque Martyr pro inimícis lapidántibus deprecátus est: et Paulus anáthema cupit esse pro persecutóribus suis. Hæc autem Iesus et dócuit et fecit, dicens: Pater, ignósce illis: quod enim fáciunt, nésciunt.

But I say unto you: “Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you.” There are many who judge of the commandments of the Lord by their own weakness, and not by the strength of His Saints; and so deem Him to have commanded things impossible. These are they who think that not to hate their enemies is all that they are able to do; and that to command us to love them, is to command more than man's nature can bear. It behoveth them to know, that this which Christ commandeth is not impossible, albeit perfect. This is what David did in respect of Saul and Absalom; the martyr Stephen also prayed for his enemies, even while they were stoning him; and Paul could wish that himself were accursed from Christ for his persecutors. Rom. ix. 3. And this, Jesus Himself did, as well as taught, when He said: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke xxiii. 34.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Angelus Dómini vocávit Abraham, dicens:

℟. The Angel of the Lord called unto Abraham and said:

* Ne exténdas manum tuam super púerum, eo quod tímeas Dóminum.

* Lay not thine hand upon the lad; for now I know that thou fearest God.

℣. Cumque extendísset manum ut immoláret fílium, ecce Angelus Dómini de cælo clamávit, dicens.

℣. And Abraham stretched forth his hand to slay his son; and, behold, the Angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said:

Ut sitis fílii Patris vestri, qui in cælis est. Si Dei præcépta custódiens, fílius quis effícitur Dei: ergo non est natúra fílius, sed arbítrio suo. Cum ergo facis eleemósynam, noli tuba cánere ante te, sicut hypócritæ fáciunt in synagógis et in vicis, ut honorificéntur ab homínibus. Qui tuba canit, eleemósynam fáciens, hypócrita est. Qui ieiúnans demolítur fáciem suam, ut ventris inanitátem monstret in vultu, et hic hypócrita est. Qui in synagógis et in ángulis plateárum orat, ut videátur ab homínibus, hypócrita est.

That ye may be the children of your Father Which is in heaven. If he that doeth the commandments of God becometh a son of God, then is he not a son by nature, but by his own choice. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. He that soundeth a trumpet before him, when he doeth alms, is an hypocrite. He that disfigureth his face, when he fasteth, to the end that he may show the emptiness of his belly in his looks, he also is an hypocrite.

Ex quibus ómnibus collígitur hypócritas esse, qui quódlibet fáciunt ut ab homínibus glorificéntur. Mihi vidétur et ille, qui dicit fratri suo: Dimítte ut tollam festúcam de óculo tuo: nam propter glóriam hoc fácere vidétur, ut ipse iustus esse videátur. Unde dícitur ei a Dómino: Hypócrita, éice primum trabem de óculo tuo. Non ítaque virtus, sed causa virtútis apud Deum mercédem habet. Et si a recta via páululum declináveris, non ínterest, utrum ad déxteram vadas, an ad sinístram, cum verum iter amíseris.

He that prayeth in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that he may be seen of men, is an hypocrite. From all which, we gather that an hypocrite is one which doeth anything that he may have glory of men. To me also it seemeth that he which saith unto his brother: “Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye”, vii. 4 that he also is an hypocrite; for he proposeth to take upon him that office for vainglory's sake, that he himself may appear righteous. Therefore the Lord saith unto him: “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye.” Thus we see that it is, not the doing good, but the motive which moveth us to do good, which will meet with reward from God; and, if thou stray but a little from the right way, it is of small moment whether thou wander to the right hand or to the left, when once thou hast lost the straight path.

Labor discipulórum in remigándo, et contrárius eis ventus, labóres sanctæ Ecclésiæ varios desígnat: quæ inter undas sǽculi adversántis, et immundórum flatus spirítuum, ad quiétem pátriæ cæléstis, quasi ad fidam líttoris statiónem, perveníre conátur. Ubi bene dícitur, quia navis erat in médio mari, et ipse solus in terra: quia nonnúnquam Ecclésia tantis gentílium pressúris non solum afflícta, sed et fœdáta est, ut, si fíeri posset, Redémptor ipsíus eam prorsus deseruísse ad tempus viderétur.

The toil of the disciples in rowing, and the wind contrary to them, is a figure of the diverse toils of the Holy Church, as, amid the waves of a world that fighteth against her, and the stormy blasts of unclean spirits, she laboureth to reach the rest of her Fatherland above, as a shore safe for her anchor. Here also it is well said that the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land; for sometimes it cometh to pass that the Church is, by the great pressure of the Gentiles, not only so afflicted, but also befouled, that it seemeth as though, if it were possible, her Redeemer had for the time forsaken her.

℣. Igitur puélla, cui díxero, Da mihi aquam de hýdria tua, ut bibam: et illa díxerit, Bibe, dómine, et camélis tuis potum tríbuam: ipsa est, quam præparávit Dóminus fílio dómini mei.

℣. Therefore the virgin to whom I shall say: Give me water of thy pitcher to drink; and she shall say to me: Drink, my lord, and I will give thy camels drink also; let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son.

Unde est illa vox eius inter undas procellásque tentatiónum irruéntium deprehénsæ, atque auxílium protectiónis illíus gemebúndo clamóre quæréntis: Ut quid, Dómine, recessísti longe, déspicis in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne? Quæ páriter vocem inimíci persequéntibus expónit, in sequéntibus Psalmi subíciens: Dixit enim in corde suo: Oblítus est Deus, avértit fáciem suam, ne vídeat usque in finem.

Whence it is that there cometh that cry of hers, when she is taken amid the waves, and the winds of temptations that break upon her, and with piteous entreaty she calleth on Him to protect her: Why standest Thou afar off, O Lord, why hidest Thou thyself in times of trouble? Ps. ix. 22. And then, in the verses that follow, she telleth Him what saith the enemy that persecuted her, saying: For he hath said in his heart God hath forgotten; He hideth His face, He will never see it. 32.

Verum ille non oblivíscitur oratiónem páuperum, neque avértit fáciem suam a sperántibus in se: quin pótius et certántes cum hóstibus, ut vincant, ádiuvat, et victóres in ætérnum corónat. Unde hic quoque apérte dícitur, quia vidit eos laborántes in remigándo. Videt quippe Dóminus laborántes in mari, quamvis ipse pósitus in terra: quia etsi ad horam différre videátur auxílium tribulátis impéndere, nihilóminus eos, ne in tribulatiónibus defíciant, suæ respéctu pietátis corróborat: et aliquándo étiam manifésto adiutório, victis adversitátibus, quasi calcátis sedatísque flúctuum volumínibus líberat.

Verily, He forgetteth not the prayer of the poor, neither turneth He His face away from any that putteth his trust in Him; yea, rather, to him whosoever is striving with the enemy, He giveth help to conquer, and, whosoever conquereth, to him He giveth an everlasting crown. For the which reason also it is here said plainly He saw them toiling in rowing. The Lord seeth them that are toiling in the sea, albeit He be Himself on the land. Although He seem for a moment to tarry in succouring the distressed, nevertheless the look of His love is strengthening them, all the while, lest they should faint and sometimes He setteth them free, even by an open deliverance, conquering all their adversaries for them, as when He walked upon the swelling of the waves, and stilled them.

8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet known;

9 Quasi moriéntes, et ecce vívimus: ut castigáti, et non mortificáti:

2 Cor 6:11-16

11 Os nostrum patet ad vos, o Corínthii; cor nostrum dilatátum est.

11 Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

12 Non angustiámini in nobis: angustiámini autem in viscéribus vestris:

12 You are not straitened in us, but in your own bowels you are straitened.

13 Eándem autem habéntes remuneratiónem, tamquam fíliis dico, dilatámini et vos.

13 But having the same recompense, (I speak as to my children,) be you also enlarged.

14 Nolíte iugum dúcere cum infidélibus. Quæ enim participátio iustítiæ cum iniquitáte? aut quæ socíetas luci ad ténebras?

14 Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?

15 Quæ autem convéntio Christi ad Bélial? aut quæ pars fidéli cum infidéli?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?

16 Qui autem consénsus templo Dei cum idólis? vos enim estis templum Dei vivi, sicut dicit Deus: Quóniam inhabitábo in illis, et inambulábo inter eos, et ero illórum Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi pópulus.

2 Cor 7:4-9

4 Replétus sum consolatióne; superabúndo gáudio in omni tribulatióne nostra.

4 I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.

5 Nam et cum venissémus in Macedóniam, nullam réquiem hábuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulatiónem passi sumus: foris pugnæ, intus timóres.

5 For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.

6 Sed qui consolátur húmiles, consolátus est nos Deus in advéntu Titi.

6 But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.

7 Non solum autem in advéntu eius, sed étiam in consolatióne, qua consolátus est in vobis, réferens nobis vestrum desidérium, vestrum fletum, vestram æmulatiónem pro me, ita ut magis gaudérem.

7 And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

8 Quóniam etsi contristávi vos in epístola, non me pœ́nitet: etsi pœnitéret, videns quod epístola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristávit,

8 For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;

9 Nunc gáudeo: non quia contristáti estis, sed quia contristáti estis ad pœniténtiam.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 4:1-11

Matt 4:1-11

In illo témpore: Ductus est Iesus in desértum a Spíritu, ut tentarétur a diábolo. Et cum ieiunásset quadragínta diébus et quadragínta nóctibus, póstea esúriit. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 16 in Evangelia

16th on the Gospels

Dubitári a quibúsdam solet, a quo spíritu sit Iesus ductus in desértum, propter hoc quod súbditur: Assúmpsit eum diábolus in sanctam civitátem: et rursum: Assúmpsit eum in montem excélsum valde. Sed vere et absque ulla quæstióne conveniénter accípitur, ut a Sancto Spíritu in desértum ductus credátur: ut illuc eum suus Spíritus dúceret, ubi hunc ad tentándum malígnus spíritus inveníret. Sed ecce cum dícitur Deus homo vel in excélsum montem, vel in sanctam civitátem a diábolo assúmptus, mens réfugit crédere, humánæ hoc audíre aures expavéscunt. Qui tamen non esse incredibília ista cognóscimus, si in illo et ália facta pensámus.

Some persons are accustomed to question what Spirit it was of which Jesus was led up into the wilderness, on account of the words a little farther on Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city and again The devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain. But in truth, and without any searching, we may very fitly take it that we are to believe it was the Holy Ghost Who led Him up into the wilderness; His own Spirit led Him where the evil spirit found Him to tempt Him. When however it is said that He, God and man, was taken up by the devil either into an exceeding high mountain or into the holy city, the mind shrinketh from believing, and the ears of man tingle to hear it. Yet these things we know not to be incredible, when we consider certain other things concerning Him.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

* In mánibus portábunt te, ne umquam offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum.

℣. Super áspidem et basilíscum ambulábis, et conculcábis leónem et dracónem.

℟. In mánibus portábunt te, ne umquam offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum.

13:1 They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: * there is none that doth good, no not one.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:31-46

Matt 25:31-46

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Cum vénerit Fílius hóminis in maiestáte sua, et omnes Angeli cum eo, tunc sedébit super sedem maiestátis suæ: et congregabúntur ante eum omnes gentes. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: When the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. And all nations shall be gathered together before him. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Lib. de fide et operibus. cap. 15 tom. 4, circa medium

On Faith and Works, xv, 4

Si mandátis non servátis, ad vitam veníri potest per solam fidem, quæ sine opéribus mórtua est: illud deínde quómodo verum erit, quod eis, quos ad sinístram positúrus est, dicet: Ite in ignem ætérnum, qui parátus est diábolo, et ángelis eius: nec íncrepat, quia in eum non credidérunt; sed quia bona ópera non fecérunt? Nam profécto, ne sibi quisquam de fide, quæ sine opéribus mórtua est, promíttat ætérnam vitam; proptérea omnes gentes segregatúrum se dixit, quæ permíxtæ eisdem páscuis utebántur: ut appáreat, eos illi dictúros: Dómine, quando te vídimus illa et illa patiéntem, et non ministrávimus tibi? qui in eum credíderant, sed bona operári non curáverant, tamquam de ipsa fide mórtua ad vitam pervenirétur ætérnam.

If, without keeping the commandments, it be possible to attain unto life by faith only, and faith, if it hath not works, is dead, James ii. 17, how can it be true that the Lord will say to such as He shall have set on His left hand Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels? He rebuketh them, not because they have not believed in Him, but because they have not wrought good works. Yea, lest any man should promise himself life eternal by faith only, (and faith, if it hath not works, is dead,) the Lord saith that He will gather together all nations, nations who have lived mingled together in the same countries, that we may seem to hear them which have believed indeed in Him, but have not wrought good works, (as though that their dead faith could, being alone, lead them into life eternal,) that we may seem to hear such crying unto Him, Lord, when saw we thee suffering such and such things, and did not minister unto thee?

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis: commendémus nosmetípsos in multa patiéntia, in ieiúniis multis,

℟. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation: let us approve ourselves in much patience, in much fasting;

* Per arma iustítiæ virtútis Dei.

* In the power of God, by the armour of righteousness.

℣. In ómnibus exhibeámus nosmetípsos sicut Dei minístros, in multa patiéntia, in ieiúniis multis.

An forte ibunt in ignem ætérnum, qui ópera misericórdiæ non fecérunt: et non ibunt, qui aliéna rapuérunt? vel corrumpéndo in se templum Dei, in seípsos immisericórdes fuérunt: quasi ópera misericórdiæ prosint áliquid sine dilectióne, dicénte Apóstolo: Si distríbuam ómnia mea paupéribus, caritátem autem non hábeam, nihil mihi prodest? Aut díligat quisquam próximum sicut seípsum, qui non díligit seípsum? Qui enim díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.

If they shall go into everlasting fire who have not done works of mercy, shall not they go who have taken their neighbour's goods? Or shall not they go who have outraged the temple of God in their own selves, and so been merciless to themselves? As if works of mercy could avail anything without love, contrary to the words of the Apostle Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor. xiii. 3. And what manner of love to his neighbour hath he who loveth him as himself and loveth not himself? remembering that he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul. Ps. x. 6.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Erit ergo ætérna combústio, sicut ignis: et eos in illam itúros Véritas dicit, quorum non fidem, sed bona ópera defuísse declarávit.

Neither dare we say here that by which some delude themselves, namely, that the fire indeed is everlasting, but that they will not burn therein everlastingly. Such men say that they whose faith is dead, will pass through that everlasting fire, and that they are they to whom it is promised that they themselves shall be saved, yet so as by fire. 1 Cor. iii. 15. So that, though the fire itself be everlasting, the burning of the damned therein, that is, the work of the fire upon them, will not be everlasting. As though the Lord were answering this beforehand, the last words of His Sermon are And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal. As the fire, so shall the burning be; and the Truth biddeth us know that they shall burn therein, who have lacked, not faith, but good works.

15 In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty:

16 Viri fratres, opórtet impléri Scriptúram quam prædíxit Spíritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda, qui fuit dux eórum qui comprehendérunt Iesum:

16 Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:

17 Qui connumerátus erat in nobis, et sortítus est sortem ministérii huius.

17 Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

18 Et hic quidem possédit agrum de mercéde iniquitátis, et suspénsus crépuit médius: et diffúsa sunt ómnia víscera eius.

18 And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.

De Expositióne sancti Augustíni Epíscopi super psalmum octogésimum sextum

From the Exposition of the Eighty-sixth Psalm by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Fundaménta eius in móntibus sanctis: díligit Dóminus portas Sion. Quare sunt fundaménta Apóstoli et Prophétæ? Quia eórum auctóritas portat infirmitátem nostram. Quare sunt portæ? Quia per ipsos intrámus ad regnum Dei. Prǽdicant enim nobis: et, cum per ipsos intrámus, per Christum intrámus; ipse est enim iánua. Et cum dicúntur duódecim portæ Ierúsalem, et una porta Christus et duódecim portæ Christus, quia in duódecim portis Christus; et ídeo duodenárius númerus Apostolórum. Sacraméntum magnum huius duodenárii significátio est númeri. Sedébitis, inquit, super duódecim sedes, iudicántes duódecim tribus Israël.

Her foundation is in the holy mountains; the Lord loveth the gates of Zion. Wherefore hath the city twelve foundations, and in them the names of the Prophets and of the Apostles of the Lamb? Because their authority is the foundation whereon our weakness resteth. Wherefore are they the gates? Because through them we enter in unto the kingdom of God, since they have preached the same unto us, and when we enter in through their preaching, we enter in by Christ, Who is Himself The Door. John x. 7. And, whereas it is written that the city hath twelve gates, and, again, that Christ is the one Door, Christ is all the twelve, for He is in all the twelve and therefore were twelve Apostles chosen. There lieth a great mystery in the signification of this number twelve: Ye shall sit, said the Lord, upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Vidi coniúnctos viros, habéntes spléndidas vestes, et Ángelus Dómini locútus est ad me, dicens:

℟. I saw men standing together, clad in shining raiment, and the Angel of the Lord spoke unto me, saying:

* Isti sunt viri sancti facti amíci Dei.

* These men are holy, for they are the friends of God.

℣. Vidi Ángelum Dei fortem, volántem per médium cælum, voce magna clamántem et dicéntem.

℣. I saw a strong Angel of God fly into the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice:

℟. Isti sunt viri sancti facti amíci Dei.

℟. These men are holy, for they are the friends of God.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Si duódecim sellæ ibi sunt, non est ubi sédeat tértius décimus Paulus Apóstolus, et non erit quómodo iúdicet; et ipse se iudicatúrum dixit, non hómines tantum, sed et ángelos. Quos ángelos, nisi apóstatas ángelos? Nescítis, inquit, quia ángelos iudicábimus? Respondéret ergo turba: Quid te iactas iudicatúrum? Ubi sedébis? Duódecim sedes dixit Dóminus duódecim Apóstolis, unus cécidit Iudas, in locum ipsíus sanctus Matthías ordinátus est; implétus est duodenárius númerus sédium. Primo locum invéni, ubi sédeas; et sic te mináre iudicatúrum. Duódecim ergo sedes quid sibi velint, videámus. Sacraméntum est cuiúsdam universitátis; quia per totum orbem terrárum futúra erat Ecclésia, unde vocátur hoc ædifícium ad Christi compágem.

If then there be set there twelve thrones of judgment, Ps. cxxi. 5, Paul, in that he is the thirteenth Apostle, hath not where to sit, nor wherein to judge. Nevertheless, he hath said of himself that he will judge not men only, but angels. Know ye not, saith he, that we shall judge angels? i Cor. vi. 3, that is, the fallen angels. Then might they have answered him: Wherefore boastest thou thyself to be a judge? For where is thy seat? The Lord hath said that for the twelve Apostles there shall be twelve thrones; one of the twelve, even Judas, is indeed fallen, but holy Matthias is chosen into his place; for the twelve thrones there are still twelve to sit thereon first find whereon thou shalt sit, and afterward give thyself out for a judge. Let us see, then, what is the meaning of these twelve thrones. By them is signified in a mystery the whole world, since the Church shall be through all the earth, whence this building is called to be built up together in Christ.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Beáti estis, cum maledíxerint vobis hómines, et persecúti vos fúerint, et díxerint omne malum advérsum vos, mentiéntes, propter me:

℟. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake;

* Gaudéte et exsultáte, quóniam merces vestra copiósa est in cælis.

* Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven.

℣. Cum vos óderint hómines, et cum separáverint vos, et exprobráverint, et eiécerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Fílium hóminis.

℣. When men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

℟. Gaudéte et exsultáte, quóniam merces vestra copiósa est in cælis.

℟. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven.

Et ídeo, quia úndique venítur ad iudicándum, duódecim sedes sunt; sicut, quia úndique intrátur in illam civitátem, duódecim portæ sunt. Non solum ergo illi duódecim et Apóstolus Paulus, sed quotquot iudicatúri sunt, propter significatiónem universitátis, ad sedes duódecim pértinent; quemádmodum quotquot intrábunt, ad duódecim portas pértinent. Partes enim mundi quátuor sunt, Oriens, Occidens, Aquilo et Merídies. Istæ quátuor partes assídue nominántur in Scriptúris. Ab istis quátuor ventis, sicut dicit Dóminus in Evangélio, a quátuor ventis se collectúrum eléctos suos; ab ómnibus ergo istis quátuor ventis vocátur Ecclésia. Quómodo vocátur? Undique in Trinitáte vocátur. Non vocátur nisi per baptísmum in nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Quátuor ergo ter ducta duódecim inveniúntur.

Therefore is it said that there shall be twelve thrones, because from all quarters shall there come men to be judged; even as it is said that the city hath twelve gates, because from all quarters shall the nations of them which are saved, enter into it. So, not the twelve only, and the Apostle Paul, but all, as many as shall judge, have part in these twelve thrones, this signifying, that they shall judge all men; even as all that enter into the city, have part in her twelve gates. For there are four quarters of the world, the East, and the West, and the North, and the South of which four quarters is mention often made in the Scriptures. From the four winds shall the elect be gathered together, as saith the Lord in the Gospel: And He shall send His Angels with a great sound of a trumpet; and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matth. xxiv. 31. From the four winds, therefore, is the Church called together; and how are they called? Everywhere are they called in the Trinity; for they are called no otherwise than by baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Matth. xxvii. 19. Now four being multiplied by three is twelve.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Isti sunt triumphatóres et amíci Dei, qui contemnéntes iussa príncipum, meruérunt prǽmia ætérna:

℟. These are they which have conquered, and are become the friends of God, who recked not of the commandments of princes, and earned the everlasting reward.

* Modo coronántur, et accípiunt palmam.

* And now have they crowns on their heads, and palms in their hands.

℣. Isti sunt qui venérunt ex magna tribulatióne, et lavérunt stolas suas in sánguine Agni.

℣. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Sermo 10 de verbis Domini

10th Sermon on the Words of the Lord

Veníte ad me, omnes qui laborátis. Quare enim omnes laborámus, nisi quia sumus hómines mortáles, frágiles, infírmi, lútea vasa portántes, quæ fáciunt ínvicem angústias? Sed, si angustiántur vasa carnis, dilaténtur spátia caritátis. Quid ergo dicit, Veníte ad me, omnes qui laborátis, nisi ut non laborétis? Dénique promíssio eius in promptu est; quóniam laborántes vocávit, quærent forte, qua mercéde vocáti sunt. Et ego vos, inquit, refíciam. Tóllite iugum meum super vos, et díscite a me, non mundum fabricáre, non cuncta visibília et invisibília creáre, non in ipso mundo mirabília fácere et mórtuos suscitáre; sed, Quóniam mitis sum et húmilis corde.

Come unto Me, all ye that labour! And wherefore labour we all, but because we are frail, sickly, dying creatures, burdened with earthen vessels which distress us? But if these fleshly vessels be distressful, let the open expanse of love be free and wide. Come unto Me, all ye that labour! and why? That we may labour no more. His promise is an instant promise, for He calleth such as are labouring. Perchance they will ask Him what shall be their reward? And I, saith He, will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of me not how to make the world, not how to create all things visible and invisible, not to work wonders in the earth, nor to raise the dead but for I am meek and lowly in heart.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

* Cálicem Dómini bibérunt, et amíci Dei facti sunt.

* They drank of the Lord's cup, and became the friends of God.

℣. In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.

Magnus esse vis? a mínimo íncipe. Cógitas magnam fábricam constrúere celsitúdinis? de fundaménto prius cógita humilitátis. Et quantam quisque vult et dispónit superimpónere molem ædifícii, quanto erit maius ædifícium, tanto áltius fodit fundaméntum. Et fábrica quidem cum constrúitur, in supérna consúrgit; qui autem fodit fundaméntum, ad ima deprímitur. Ergo et fábrica ante celsitúdinem humiliátur, et fastígium post humiliatiónem erígitur.

Wilt thou be great? Begin by being little. Dost thou think to raise up a lofty building? Then lay the foundations thereof in lowliness. The greater soever, and the more massy, be that which any man thinketh to build, so much the deeper doth he dig his foundation. And when the house is built, it towereth heavenward; but he which layeth the foundation goeth down into the earth. The building, therefore, is low before it is high, and, after it is low, it riseth high to the roof.

Quod est fastígium construéndæ fábricæ, quam molímur? quo perventúrum est cacúmen ædifícii? Cito dico, usque ad conspéctum Dei. Vidétis quam excélsum est, quanta res est conspícere Deum. Qui desíderat, et quod dico et quod audit intéllegit. Promíttitur nobis conspéctus Dei, veri Dei, summi Dei. Hoc enim bonum est, vidéntem vidére. Nam, qui colunt falsos deos, fácile illos vident; sed eos vident, qui óculos habent et non vident. Nobis autem promíttitur vísio Dei vivéntis et vidéntis.

What is the roof of the house on which we labour? Whither do its spires rise? I answer you at once; to the presence of God. You see how high it is, yea, what it is to see God. He that will, understandeth what I say, and he heareth. What is promised you is to see God, God, the True, God, the Supreme. Blessed is he who seeth Him by Whom he is seen. Such as worship false gods see them easily, but they see them who have eyes and see not. But unto us it is promised that we shall see that God Who liveth and seeth. Gen. xvi. 14.

138:19 Si occíderis, Deus, peccatóres: * viri sánguinum, declináte a me:

138:19 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: * ye men of blood, depart from me:

138:20 Quia dícitis in cogitatióne: * Accípient in vanitáte civitátes tuas.

138:20 Because you say in thought: * They shall receive thy cities in vain.

138:21 Nonne qui odérunt te, Dómine, óderam? * et super inimícos tuos tabescébam?

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 12:38-50

Matt 12:38-50

In illo témpore: Respondérunt Iesu quidam de scribis et pharisǽis, dicéntes: Magíster, vólumus a te signum vidére. Et réliqua.

In that time, some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master, we would see a sign from thee. Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Lib. 7 in Lucæ cap. 11

7th Bk. on Luke, ch. xii

Iudæórum plebe damnáta, Ecclésiæ mystérium evidénter exprímitur, quæ in Ninivítis per pœniténtiam, et in regína Austri per stúdium percipiéndæ sapiéntiæ, de totíus orbis fínibus congregátur, ut pacífici Salomónis verba cognóscat. Regína plane, cuius regnum est indivísum, de divérsis et distántibus pópulis in unum corpus assúrgens.

After the condemnation of the Jewish people, the mystery of the Church is plainly declared in the figures of the repentant Ninevites, and of the Queen of the South. Like that Queen, the Church cometh from the uttermost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of the true Solomon, the Prince of Peace. A Queen she is, and a Queen of one indivisible realm, wrought into one body out of all nations, however diverse and distant.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

Itaque sacraméntum illud magnum est de Christo et Ecclésia. Sed tamen hoc maius est, quia illud in figúra ante præcéssit, nunc autem plenum in veritáte mystérium est. Illic enim Sálomon typus, hic autem Christus in suo córpore est. Ex duóbus ígitur constat Ecclésia: ut aut peccáre nésciat, aut peccáre désinat. Pœniténtia enim delíctum ábolet, sapiéntia cavet.

And thus cometh that great mystery of Christ and the Church, a mystery more excellent now in the fulness of truth, than in the ancient type. For there they had in Solomon only a type of that which Christ is now in His own Person. And the Church is of two classes, whereof the one knoweth not how to sin, and the other sinneth no more. To wash away sin is the work of repentance, to eschew it that of wisdom.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Frange esuriénti panem tuum, et egénos vagósque induc in domum tuam:

℟. Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the poor and the wanderer to thine house.

* Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

* Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

℣. Cum víderis nudum, óperi eum, et carnem tuam ne despéxeris.

℣. When thou seest the naked, cover him; and hide not thyself from thine own flesh.

℟. Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

℟. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

Céterum Ionæ signum, ut typus Domínicæ passiónis, ita étiam grávium, quæ Iudǽi commíserint, testificátio peccatórum est. Simul advértere licet et maiestátis oráculum, et pietátis indícium. Namque Ninivitárum exémplo et denuntiátur supplícium, et remédium demonstrátur. Unde étiam Iudǽi debent non desperáre indulgéntiam, si velint ágere pœniténtiam.

Lastly, the sign of the Prophet Jonas, as it was a figure of the Lord's sufferings, was also a witness to the gravity of those sins which the Jews committed. At the same time, we see in these words of the Lord a declaration at once of His power, and of His love; for, by turning our eyes on the Ninevites, He showeth us a way of escape, while He setteth before us the horror of what will otherwise be our punishment. Even the Jews need not cease to hope for pardon, if only they would repent.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

* Quia sicut aqua extínguit ignem, ita eleemósyna extínguit peccátum.

* For, as water will quench fire, so alms maketh an atonement for sins.

℣. Date eleemósynam, et ecce ómnia munda sunt vobis.

℣. Give alms, and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

℟. Quia sicut aqua extínguit ignem, ita eleemósyna extínguit peccátum.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.

52:4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, * there is none that doth good, no not one.

52:5 Nonne scient omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam ut cibum panis?

52:5 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, * who eat up my people as they eat bread?

52:6 Deum non invocavérunt: * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.

52:6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

52:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum convérterit Deus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob, et lætábitur Israël.

Quarto Kaléndas Mártii Luna nona Anno Dómini 2026

On the morrow we keep in England the feast of holy Ethelbert, King of Kent, whom holy Augustin, first Archbishop of Canterbury, converted to the faith of Christ, and of whom mention hath been made upon the 24th day of this present month of February.

February 26th 2026, the 9th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Perge, in Pamphýlia, natális beáti Néstoris Epíscopi, qui, in persecutióne Décii, cum diu noctúque oratióni insísteret póstulans ut grex Christi custodirétur, comprehénsus est, ac, nomen Dómini mira libertáte et alacritáte conféssus, Prǽsidis Polliónis iussu equúleo sævíssime est cruciátus; ac demum, cum se Christo semper adhæsúrum constánter profiterétur, crucis suspéndio victor in cælum migrávit.

Ibídem pássio sanctórum Pápiæ, Diodóri, Conónis et Claudiáni, qui sanctum Néstorem martýrio præcessérunt.

At Perga, in Pamphylia, [in the year 251,] blessed Nestor, Bishop [of Magydensis.] During the persecution under Decius he was instant in prayer by day and by night that Christ's flock might be kept safe. When he was arrested he confessed the name of the Lord with wonderful freedom and readiness. By command of the President Pollio he was most cruelly racked, and as he steadfastly declared that he would alway cleave unto Christ, he was at last crucified, and from the cross passed to heaven a conqueror.

Item sanctórum Mártyrum Fortunáti, Felícis et aliórum vigínti septem.

At Perga likewise, [in 251,] the holy martyrs Papias, Diodorus, Conon, and Claudian, who suffered before holy Nestor.

Alexandríæ sancti Alexándri Epíscopi, gloriósi senis, qui, post beátum Petrum, eiúsdem civitátis Epíscopum, zelo fídei succénsus, Aríum, Presbýterum suum, hærética impietáte depravátum et divína veritáte convíctum, de Ecclésia eiécit; ac póstea, inter trecéntos decem et octo Patres, in Nicǽno Concílio eúndem damnávit.

Also the holy martyrs Fortunatus Felix, and twenty-seven others.

Bonóniæ sancti Faustiniáni Epíscopi, qui eam Ecclésiam, Diocletiáni persecutióne vexátam, verbo prædicatiónis firmávit et auxit.

At Alexandria, [in the year 326,] the glorious Elder, holy Alexander, Pope of that see, wherein he succeeded blessed Peter. He it was who cast his priest Arius out of the church when he became perverted with wicked heresy, and reprobate from the truth of God, and he was afterward one of the three hundred and eighteen fathers who condemned him in the Council of Nicea.

Gazæ, in Palæstína, sancti Porphýrii Epíscopi, qui, témpore Arcádii Imperatóris, Marnam idólum eiúsque templum evértit, ac, multa passus, quiévit in Dómino.

At Bologna, [in the fourth century,] the holy Bishop [of that see,] Faustinian, who by the preaching of the word of God strengthened and increased that Church when it had been troubled in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian.

Floréntiæ sancti Andréæ, Epíscopi et Confessóris.

At Gaza, in Palestine, [in the year 420,] holy Porphyry, Bishop of that see, who in the time of the Emperor Arcadius cast down the idol Mama and its temple, and after many sufferings fell asleep in the Lord.

In território Archiacénsi, in Gállia, sancti Victóris Confessóris, cuius laudes sanctus Bernárdus conscrípsit.

At Florence, [in the fifth century,] the holy Confessor Andrew, Bishop of that city, [who succeeded St. Zenobius.]

57:2 Si vere útique iustítiam loquímini: * recta iudicáte, fílii hóminum.

57:2 If in very deed you speak justice: * judge right things, ye sons of men.

57:3 Étenim in corde iniquitátes operámini: * in terra iniustítias manus vestræ concínnant.

57:3 For in your heart you work iniquity: * your hands forge injustice in the earth.

57:4 Alienáti sunt peccatóres a vulva, erravérunt ab útero: * locúti sunt falsa.

57:4 The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: * they have spoken false things.

57:5 Furor illis secúndum similitúdinem serpéntis: * sicut áspidis surdæ, et obturántis aures suas,

57:5 Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: * like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:

57:6 Quæ non exáudiet vocem incantántium: * et venéfici incantántis sapiénter.

57:6 Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; * nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.

57:7 Deus cónteret dentes eórum in ore ipsórum: * molas leónum confrínget Dóminus.

57:8 Ad níhilum devénient tamquam aqua decúrrens: * inténdit arcum suum donec infirméntur.

57:8 They shall come to nothing, like water running down; * he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.

57:9 Sicut cera, quæ fluit, auferéntur: * supercécidit ignis, et non vidérunt solem.

57:9 Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: * fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.

57:10 Priúsquam intellégerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum: * sicut vivéntes, sic in ira absórbet eos.

57:10 Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, * as alive, in his wrath.

57:11 Lætábitur iustus cum víderit vindíctam: * manus suas lavábit in sánguine peccatóris.

57:11 The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: * he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

57:12 Et dicet homo: Si útique est fructus iusto: * útique est Deus iúdicans eos in terra.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 15:21-28

Matt 15:21-28

In illo témpore: Egréssus Iesus secéssit in partes Tyri et Sidónis. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Liber 2 Comm. in cap. 15. Matthæi

Bk. ii Comm. on Matth. xv

Scribis et pharisǽis calumniatóribus derelíctis, transgréditur in partes Tyri et Sidónis, ut Týrios Sidoniósque curáret. Múlier autem Chananǽa egréditur de fínibus prístinis, ut clamans fíliæ ímpetret sanitátem. Obsérva quod in quintodécimo loco fília Chananǽæ sanétur. Miserére mei, Dómine, Fili David. Inde novit vocáre Fílium David, quia egréssa iam fúerat de fínibus suis, et errórem Tyriórum ac Sidoniórum loci et fídei commutatióne dimíserat.

Christ leaveth the Scribes and Pharisees who had spoken falsely against Him, and goeth into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, that He may heal the Tyrians and Sidonians. But a woman of Canaan cometh to Him out of the land He had left, and crieth to Him to give health to her daughter. Remark that the case of the daughter of this woman of Canaan is the fifteenth case of healing. Have mercy on me, O Lord, Thou Son of David! She knew that He was to be called Son of David because she was come out of His own country, and had left the errors of the Tyrians and Sidonians when she changed her home and her faith.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Tribulárer, si nescírem misericórdias tuas, Dómine; tu dixísti: Nolo mortem peccatóris, sed ut magis convertátur et vivat:

℟. I had been troubled, but that I knew thy mercy, O Lord; Thou hast said: I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that he turn from his way and live.

* Qui Chananǽam et publicánum vocásti ad pœniténtiam.

* O Thou, Who didst call the Canaanite woman and the Publican unto repentance!

℣. Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo, consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam.

℣. In the multitude of the sorrows within my heart, thy comforts delight my soul.

℟. Qui Chananǽam et publicánum vocásti ad pœniténtiam.

Fília mea male a dæmónio vexátur. Ego fíliam Chananǽæ puto ánimas esse credéntium, quæ male a dæmónio vexabántur, ignorántes Creatórem, et adorántes lápidem. Qui non respóndit ei verbum: non de supérbia pharisáica, nec de scribárum supercílio: sed ne ipse senténtiæ suæ viderétur esse contrárius, per quam iússerat: In viam géntium ne abiéritis, et in civitátes Samaritanórum ne intravéritis. Nolébat enim occasiónem calumniatóribus dare: perfectámque salútem géntium passiónis et resurrectiónis témpori reservábat.

My daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. I think that the daughter of this woman of Canaan, (whom the Lord at length delivered,) was a figure of the souls of such as now believe, but were once grievously vexed by the devil, knowing not Him Who made them, and bowing down to stocks and stones. But He answered not a word not because He was puffed up with the pride of the Pharisees, or shared the high looks of the Scribes, but that He might fulfil His own word that He had spoken, saying: Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. Matth. x. 5. He would not give an occasion to such as spoke falsely against Him, and He kept back perfect salvation from the Gentiles until such time as He should have suffered and risen again.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. In ómnibus exhibeámus nosmetípsos sicut Dei minístros in multa patiéntia:

℟. In all things let us approve ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience;

* Ut non vituperétur ministérium nostrum.

* That our ministry be not blamed.

℣. Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis: commendémus nosmetípsos in multa patiéntia.

Et accedéntes discípuli eius, rogábant eum, dicéntes: Dimítte eam, quia clamat post nos.

Ipse aútem respóndens ait: Non sum missus, nisi ad oves quæ periérunt domus Israël. Non quo et ad gentes non missus sit, sed quo primum missus sit ad Israël: ut illis non recipiéntibus Evangélium, iusta fíeret ad gentes transmigrátio.

And His disciples came and besought Him, saying: Send her away; for she crieth after us. The disciples, knowing not as yet the mysterious things of the Lord, said this, either because they were moved with compassion and so interceded for this Canaanite woman, whom another Evangelist calleth a Syrophoenician, Mark vii. 26, or because she was crying out that the Lord was an hard, instead of a merciful physician, and they desired to be rid of her clamour. But He answered and said: I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel, not that He was not sent unto the Gentiles, but because it was to Israel in the first instance that He was sent, whom refusing the Gospel, He might justly pass away from, and go to the Gentiles.

Cordis rigórem cónterat.

They were both placed upon camels and led about the whole city, lashed, and at length publicly burnt upon a pyre.

Alexandríæ pássio sancti Iuliáni Mártyris, qui, cum ita pódagra constríctus esset, ut neque incédere neque stare posset, una cum duóbus fámulis, qui eum in sella gestábant, Iúdici offértur; quorum alter fidem negávit, alter, nómine Eunus, cum dómino suo perdurávit in confessióne Christi.

Psalm 72(1-9) [1]

72:1 Quam bonus Israël Deus, * his, qui recto sunt corde!

72:1 How good is God to Israel, * to them that are of a right heart!

72:2 Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes: * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei.

72:2 But my feet were almost moved; * my steps had wellnigh slipped.

72:3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.

72:3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, * seeing the prosperity of sinners.

72:4 Quia non est respéctus morti eórum: * et firmaméntum in plaga eórum.

72:4 For there is no regard to their death, * nor is there strength in their stripes.

72:5 In labóre hóminum non sunt, * et cum homínibus non flagellabúntur:

72:5 They are not in the labour of men: * neither shall they be scourged like other men.

72:6 Ídeo ténuit eos supérbia, * opérti sunt iniquitáte et impietáte sua.

72:6 Therefore pride hath held them fast: * they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.

72:7 Pródiit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum: * transiérunt in afféctum cordis.

72:7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: * they have passed into the affection of the heart.

72:8 Cogitavérunt, et locúti sunt nequítiam: * iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.

72:8 They have thought and spoken wickedness: * they have spoken iniquity on high.

72:9 Posuérunt in cælum os suum: * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.

72:10 Therefore will my people return here * and full days shall be found in them.

72:11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?

72:11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.

72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa iustificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:

72:13 And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, * and washed my hands among the innocent.

72:14 Et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.

72:14 And I have been scourged all the day; * and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.

72:15 Si dicébam: Narrábo sic: * ecce, natiónem filiórum tuórum reprobávi.

72:15 If I said: I will speak thus; * behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.

72:16 Existimábam ut cognóscerem hoc, * labor est ante me:

72:16 I studied that I might know this thing, * it is a labour in my sight:

72:17 Donec intrem in Sanctuárium Dei: * et intéllegam in novíssimis eórum.

72:17 Until I go into the sanctuary of God, * and understand concerning their last ends.

72:18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: * when they were lifted up, thou hast cast them down.

72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.

72:19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.

72:20 Velut sómnium surgéntium, Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.

72:20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; * so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.

72:21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.

72:21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: * and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.

72:23 Ut iuméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.

72:23 I am become as a beast before thee: * and I am always with thee.

72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.

72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.

72:28 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:

72:28 But it is good for me to adhere to my God, * to put my hope in the Lord God:

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 5:1-15

John 5:1-15

In illo témpore: Erat dies festus Iudæórum, et ascéndit Iesus Ierosólymam. Et réliqua.

In that time was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo

Tractatus 17 in Ioannem, post initium

17th Tract on John

Videámus quid volúerit significáre in illo uno, quem étiam ipse servans unitátis mystérium, de tot languéntibus unum sanáre dignátus est. Invénit in annis eius númerum quemdam languóris: trigínta et octo annos habébat in infirmitáte. Hic númerus quómodo magis ad languórem pertíneat, quam ad sanitátem, paulo diligéntius exponéndum est. Inténtos vos volo: áderit Dóminus, ut cóngrue loquar, et sufficiénter audiátis. Quadragenárius númerus sacrátus nobis in quadam perfectióne commendátur; notum esse árbitror caritáti vestræ: testántur sæpíssime divínæ Scriptúræ: ieiúnium hoc número consecrátum esse, bene nostis. Nam et Móyses quadragínta diébus ieiunávit, et Elías tótidem: et ipse Dóminus noster et Salvátor Iesus Christus hunc ieiúnii númerum implévit. Per Móysen significátur Lex, per Elíam significántur Prophétæ, per Dóminum significátur Evangélium. Ideo in illo monte tres apparuérunt, ubi se discípulis osténdit in claritáte vultus et vestis suæ: appáruit enim médius inter Móysen et Elíam, tamquam Evangélium testimónium habéret a Lege et Prophétis.

Let us see what is mystically signified by that one infirm man whom alone the Lord, keeping to a mysterious unity, chose out of so many sufferers, to be the subject of His healing power. He found in him a certain number of years of sickness. He had had an infirmity thirty and eight years. How this number is proper rather to weakness than to health, will now be the subject of a few careful remarks. I bespeak your attention; the Lord will be present, that I may speak fitly, and you may understand. The number forty is put before us as hallowed, and, in a way, perfect. I think that your love knoweth this God's Scriptures often and; often witness it. Ye well know that a Fast of this number of days is hallowed. Moses fasted forty days. Elias did the same. And our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself fasted this number of days complete. Moses representeth the Law, Elias the Prophets, and the Lord the Gospel. And therefore these three appeared on the Mount of the Transfiguration. There the Lord showed Himself to His disciples with His Face shining as the sun, and His raiment glistering; and He stood between Moses and Elias; as it were, the Gospel receiving testimony, on the one hand from the Law, and, on the other, from the Prophets.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Emendémus in mélius, quæ ignoránter peccávimus: ne súbito præoccupáti die mortis, quærámus spátium pœniténtiæ, et inveníre non possímus:

℟. Let us amend for the better in that wherein we have sinned unknowingly, or ever the day of death suddenly prevent us, and we seek a place of repentance, and find none.

* Atténde, Dómine, et miserére, quia peccávimus tibi.

* Give heed, O Lord, and have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee.

℣. Adiuva nos, Deus salutáris noster, et propter honórem nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos.

℣. Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the glory of thy Name deliver us, O Lord.

℟. Atténde, Dómine, et miserére, quia peccávimus tibi.

℟. Give heed, O Lord, and have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee.

Sive ergo in Lege, sive in Prophétis, sive in Evangélio, quadragenárius númerus nobis in ieiúnio commendátur. Ieiúnium autem magnum et generále est, abstinére ab iniquitátibus et illícitis voluptátibus sǽculi, quod est perféctum ieiúnium: Ut abnegántes impietátem et sæculáres cupiditátes, temperánter et iuste et pie vivámus in hoc sǽculo. Huic ieiúnio quam mercédem addit Apóstolus? Séquitur et dicit: Exspectántes illam beátam spem, et manifestatiónem glóriæ beáti Dei et Salvatóris nostri Iesu Christi. In hoc ergo sǽculo quasi quadragésimam abstinéntiæ celebrámus, cum bene vívimus, cum ab iniquitátibus et ab illícitis voluptátibus abstinémus: sed quia hæc abstinéntia sine mercéde non erit, exspectámus beátam illam spem, et revelatiónem glóriæ magni Dei et Salvatóris nostri Iesu Christi. In illa spe, cum fúerit de spe facta res, acceptúri sumus mercédem denárium. Ipsa enim merces rédditur operáriis in vínea laborántibus, secúndum Evangélium, quod vos credo reminísci: neque enim ómnia commemoránda sunt tamquam rúdibus et imperítis. Denárius ergo, qui accépit nomen a número decem, rédditur, et coniúnctus quadragenário fit quinquagenárius: unde cum labóre celebrámus Quadragésimam ante Pascha; cum lætítia vero, tamquam accépta mercéde, Quinquagésimam post Pascha.

Whether, therefore, it be in the Law, or in the Prophets, or in the Gospel, the number of forty is recommended to us for Fast-days. The great and general Fast is this to abstain from the iniquity of the world, and her forbidden pleasures. This is the perfect Fast, that, denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. After such a Fast, what is the Feast that followeth? Hear what the Apostle saith in continuation Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Titus ii. 12, 13. We, then, make our pilgrimage in this world a Lent, by living good lives, and abstaining from her iniquities and her forbidden pleasures. But at the end of this life-long Lent there will be an Easter indeed. We look for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ When that hope is realised, when that faith is swallowed up in knowledge, then indeed shall we receive every man a penny. In good sooth, it is true that every labourer in the vineyard will get his wages witness that Gospel which I believe ye have not forgotten, Matth. xx. 116 and which it is not my business to quote again as if ye were ignorant children. Now, the word used in the original for this penny which the labourers received is denarion. And the derivation of the word denarion is the numeral decem, ten. There are forty days in Lent, and if we add ten, we get fifty. So do we toil in fasting for the forty days of Lent before Easter, and, then, when we have, as it were, received our reward, we keep holiday for the fifty days of Eastertide.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius:

℟. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him;

* Quia benígnus et miséricors est, et præstábilis super malítia Dóminus Deus noster.

* For the Lord our God is gracious, and merciful, and repenteth Him of the evil.

℣. Non vult Dóminus mortem peccatóris, sed ut convertátur et vivat.

℣. The Lord hath no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that he turn from his way and live.

℟. Quia benígnus et miséricors est, et præstábilis super malítia Dóminus Deus noster.

Mementóte quod proposúerim númerum trigínta octo annórum in illo lánguido. Volo expónere, quare númerus ille trigésimus et octávus, languóris sit pótius quam sanitátis. Ergo, ut dicébam, cáritas implet Legem: ad plenitúdinem Legis in ómnibus opéribus pértinet quadragenárius númerus. In caritáte autem duo præcépta nobis commendántur: Díliges Dóminum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota ánima tua, et ex tota mente tua: et díliges próximum tuum sicut teípsum. In his duóbus præcéptis tota Lex pendet, et Prophétæ. Mérito et illa vídua omnes facultátes suas, duo minúta misit in dona Dei: mérito et pro illo lánguido a latrónibus sauciáto stabulárius duos nummos accépit, unde sanarétur: mérito apud Samaritános bíduum fecit Iesus, ut eos caritáte firmáret. Binário ergo isto número cum áliquid boni significátur, máxime bipertíta cáritas commendátur. Si ergo quadragenárius númerus habet perfectiónem Legis, et Lex non implétur nisi in gémino præcépto caritátis: quid miráris, quia languébat, qui ad quadragínta, duo minus habébat?

Remember how I remarked, that the man healed by our Lord at the pool of Bethesda had had an infirmity thirty and eight years. I wish to explain why this number of thirty-eight is proper rather to weakness than to health. Love is the fulfilling of the law Rom. xiii. 10; to the fulfilling of the law belongeth in every work the number forty. But in love we have given us two precepts Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matth. xxii. 37-40. When the widow gave all she had for an offering to God she gave two mites Mark xii. 42; the inn-keeper received two pence wherewith to cure him that had fallen among thieves Luke x. 35; Jesus abode for two days among the Samaritans John iv. 40, that He might establish them in love. When, then, anything good is spoken of as two, the two great divisions of love are the chief mystic interpretation. If, then, the law is fulfilled in the number forty, and it is not fulfilled if there be lacking the two precepts of love, what wonder is it that he was infirm who lacked two of forty?

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 17:1-9

Matt 17:1-9

In illo témpore: Assúmpsit Iesus Petrum, et Iacóbum, et Ioánnem fratrem eius, et duxit illos in montem excélsum seórsum: et transfigurátus est ante eos. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured before them. And so on.

Homilía sancti Leónis Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Leo the Great.

Homilia de Transfiguratione Domini

On the Transfiguration of the Lord

Evangélica lectio, dilectíssimi, quæ per aures córporis interiórem méntium nostrárum pulsávit audítum, ad magni sacraménti nos intellegéntiam vocat: quam, aspiránte grátia Dei, facílius assequémur, si consideratiónem nostram ad ea, quæ paulo supérius sunt narráta, referámus. Salvátor enim humáni géneris Iesus Christus, condens eam fidem, quæ et ímpios ad iustítiam, et mórtuos révocat ad vitam, ad hoc discípulos suos doctrínæ mónitis, et óperum miráculis imbuébat, ut idem Christus et Unigénitus Dei, et hóminis Fílius crederétur. Nam unum horum sine áltero non próderat ad salútem: et æquális erat perículi, Dóminum Iesum Christum aut Deum tantúmmodo sine hómine, aut sine Deo solum hóminem credidísse: cum utrúmque esset páriter confiténdum: quia sicut Deo vera humánitas, ita hómini ínerat vera divínitas.

Dearly beloved brethren, the Lesson from the Holy Gospel which, entering in by our bodily ears, hath knocked at the door of our inner mind, calleth us to understand a great mystery. This, by the grace of God, we shall the more readily do, if we return to consider what hath been told us just before. The Saviour of mankind, even Jesus Christ, laying the foundations of that faith whereby the ungodly are called to righteousness and the dead to life, instilled into the minds of His disciples, both by the voice of His teaching and the wonder of His works, that they should believe Him, the one Christ, to be both the Only-begotten Son of God and the Son of man. Had they believed Him one of these and not the other, it had availed them nothing to salvation; and the danger was equally great, of holding the Lord Jesus Christ to be God without the Manhood, or Man only without the Godhead, since we are constrained to acknowledge that He is perfect God and perfect Man, and that as there is in the Godhead perfect Manhood, so there is in the Manhood perfect Godhead.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Scíndite corda vestra, et non vestiménta vestra: et convertímini ad Dóminum Deum vestrum:

℟. Rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God;

* Quia benígnus et miséricors est.

* For He is gracious and merciful.

℣. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius.

℣. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him.

℟. Quia benígnus et miséricors est.

℟. For He is gracious and merciful.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Ad confírmandam ergo huius fídei salubérrimam cognitiónem interrogáverat discípulos suos Dóminus, inter divérsas aliórum opiniónes quid ipsi de eo créderent, quidve sentírent. Ubi Petrus Apóstolus, per revelatiónem summi Patris corpórea súperans, et humána transcéndens, vidit mentis óculis Fílium Dei vivi, et conféssus est glóriam Deitátis; quia non ad solam respéxit substántiam carnis et sánguinis: tantúmque in hac fídei sublimitáte complácuit, ut beatitúdinis felicitáte donátus, sacram inviolábilis petræ accíperet firmitátem: super quam fundáta Ecclésia, portis ínferi et mortis légibus prævaléret: nec in solvéndis aut ligándis quorumcúmque causis áliud ratum esset in cælis, quam quod Petri sedísset arbítrio.

To strengthen, therefore, the saving knowledge of this faith, the Lord had asked His disciples what, among the differing opinions of men, it was their own belief and judgment as to Who He was. Then did the Apostle Peter, by the revelation of That Father Who is above all, rising above fleshly things, yea, outstripping the thoughts of men, then did he fix the eyes of his mind upon the Son of the living God, and confess the glory of the Godhead, for he looked not on the substance of the flesh and blood only. And in all the exaltation of this faith so well did he please God, that he was gifted with that joyous blessing, the hallowed establishment of that impregnable rock, whereon the Church being founded, should prevail against the gates of hell and the laws of death; neither, when anything is to be bound or loosed, is any bound or loosed in heaven, otherwise than as the judgment of Peter hath bound or loosed it upon earth.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℟. Frange esuriénti panem tuum, et egénos vagósque induc in domum tuam:

℟. Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the poor and the wanderer to thine house.

* Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

* Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

℣. Cum víderis nudum, óperi eum, et carnem tuam ne despéxeris.

℣. When thou seest the naked, cover him; and hide not thyself from thine own flesh.

℟. Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

℟. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

Hæc autem, dilectíssimi, laudátæ intellegéntiæ celsitúdo instruénda erat de inferióris substántiæ sacraménto: ne apostólica fides ad glóriam confiténdæ in Christo Deitátis evécta, infirmitátis nostræ receptiónem indígnam impassíbili Deo atque incóngruam iudicáret: et ita iam in Christo humánam créderet glorificátam esse natúram, ut nec supplício posset áffici, nec morte dissólvi. Et ídeo dicénte Dómino, quod oportéret eum ire Ierosólymam, et multa pati a senióribus et scribis, ac princípibus sacerdótum, et occídi, et tértia die resúrgere: cum beátus Petrus, qui supérno illustrátus lúmine, de ardentíssima Fílii Dei confessióne fervébat, contumélias illusiónum et crudelíssimæ mortis oppróbrium religióso, ut putábat, et líbero fastídio respuísset; benígna a Iesu increpatióne corréptus, et ad cupiditátem participándæ cum eo passiónis animátus est.

But, dearly beloved brethren, it behoved that the height of this understanding, which the Lord praised, should rest upon a foundation, and that foundation, the mystery of the lower nature, lest the faith of the Apostle, carried away by the glorious acknowledgment of the Godhead in Christ, should deem it unworthy and unnatural for the impassible God to take into Himself the frailty of our nature; and should thus believe that in Christ the Manhood had been so glorified as to be no longer able to suffer pain, or be dissolved in death. And therefore it was that, when the Lord said how that He must go up unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again the third day, and the blessed Peter, bright with heavenly illumination, and still glowing from the passionate acknowledgment of the Divine Sonship, by a natural, and, as seemed to him, a godly shrinking, could not bear the mention of mockery and insult and a cruel death, he was corrected by the merciful rebuke of Jesus, and moved rather to desire to be a partaker in the sufferings of his Master.

℣. Date eleemósynam, et ecce ómnia munda sunt vobis.

At Heliopolis, [in 114,] the holy martyr Eudocia [of Samaria, now Balbek in Turkey-in-Asia,] during the persecution under the Emperor Trajan. She was baptized by Theodotus, Bishop of [Heliopolis,] and, armed for the battle, the President Vincentius ordered her to be smitten with the sword, and thus she received the crown of martyrdom.

Romæ natális sancti Felícis Papæ Tértii, qui sancti Gregórii Magni átavus fuit; qui étiam (ut ipse Gregórius refert), sanctæ Tharsíllæ nepti appárens, illam ad cæléstia regna vocávit.

At Perugia is commemorated the translation [in the year 547] of the holy martyr Herculanus, Bishop of that see, of whom mention is made upon the 7th day of November. He was beheaded by order of Totila, King of the Goths, and it is written by holy Pope Gregory that, forty days after his head was cut off, head and body were found united again, as though the iron had never touched him.
