The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER IX
How Many Psalms Are to Be Said at the Night Office
During the winter season, having in the first place said the verse: Deus, in
adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina, there is next to
be said three times, Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem
tuam (Ps 50[51]:17). To this the third psalm and the Gloria are to be added.
After this the 94th psalm with its antiphon is to be said or chanted.
Hereupon let a hymn follow, and after that six psalms with antiphons. When these and
the verse have been said, let the Abbot give the blessing. All being seated
on the benches, let three lessons be read alternately by the brethren from
the book on the reading stand, between which let three responsories be said.
Let two of the responsories be said without the Gloria, but after the third
lesson, let him who is chanting say the Gloria. When the cantor beginneth to
sing it, let all rise at once from their seats in honor and reverence of the
Blessed Trinity.
Let the inspired books of both the Old and the New Testaments be read at the
night offices, as also the expositions of them which have been made by the
most eminent orthodox and Catholic Fathers.
After these three lessons with their responsories, let six other psalms
follow, to be sung with Alleluia. After these let the lessons from the Apostle
follow, to be said by heart, then the verse, the invocation of the litany, that
is, Kyrie eleison. And thus let the night office come to an end.
Martyrology-February 12th
Roman Martyrology-February 12th-on this date in various years-
The seven Holy Founders of the Order of Servítes of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, whose deaths are noted on their respective days. As one spirit of true
fraternal love united them in life, and as the people joined them together in
the same veneration after death, Pope Leo XIII placed them together in the
catalogue of the saints.
In Africa, St. Damian, soldier and martyr.
At Carthage, the holy martyrs Modestus and Julian.
At Alexandria, the holy children Modestus and Ammonius, martyrs.
At Barcelona in Spain, in the time of Emperor Diocletian, St. Eulalia,
virgin, who, being racked, torn with iron hooks, cast into the fire, and
crucified, received the glorious crown of martyrdom.
At Constantinople, St. Meletius, bishop of Antioch, who often suffered
exile for the Catholic faith, and finally died at Constantinople and went to his
reward. His virtues have been extolled by St. John Chrysostom and St.
Gregory of Nyssa.
Also at Constantinople, St. Anthony, a bishop in the time of Emperor Leo
VI.
At Verona, St. Gaudentius, bishop and confessor.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and
holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
