The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER XI
How the Night Office Is to Be Said on Sundays
For the night office on Sunday the monks should rise earlier. At this
office let the following regulations be observed, namely: after six
psalms and the verse have been sung, as we arranged above, and all
have been properly seated on the benches in their order, let four
lessons with their responsories be read from the book, as we said
above. In the fourth responsory only, let the Gloria be said by the
chanter, and as soon as he beginneth it let all presently rise with
reverence.
After these lessons let six other psalms with antiphons and the verse
follow in order as before. After these let there be said three
canticles from the Prophets, selected by the Abbot, and chanted with
Alleluia. When the verse also hath been said and the Abbot hath given
the blessing, let four other lessons from the New Testament be read
in the order above mentioned. But after the fourth responsory let the
Abbot intone the hymn Te Deum laudamus. When this hath been said, let
the Abbot read the lesson from the Gospel, all standing with
reverence and awe. When the Gospel hath been read let all answer
Amen, and immediately the Abbot will follow up with the hymn Te decet
laus, and when he hath given the blessing Lauds will begin.
Let this order of the night office be observed on Sunday the same way
in all seasons, in summer as well as in winter, unless perchance
(which God forbid) the brethren should rise too late and part of the
lessons or the responsories would have to be shortened. Let every
precaution be taken that this does not occur. If it should happen,
let him through whose neglect it came about make due satisfaction for
it to God in the oratory.
Martyrology-June 15th
Roman Martyrology-June 15th- on this date in various years-
Near the river Silaro in Lucania, the birthday of the holy martyrs
Vitus, Modestus, and Crescentia, who were brought there from Sicily
in the reign of the emperor Diocletian. They were plunged into a
vessel of molten lead, exposed to the beasts, and stretched on the
rack, but after having survived these torments through the power of
God, they came to the end of their glorious trials.
At Silistria in Rumania, St. Hesychius, a soldier, who was arrested
with blessed Julius, and under the governor Maximus followed him to
the crown of martyrdom.
At Zephirium in Cilicia, St. Dulas, martyr under the governor
Maximus. For the name of Christ, he was scourged, laid on the
gridiron, scalded with boiling oil, and after enduring other trials,
received for his victory the palm of martyrdom.
At Cordova in Spain, St. Benildes, martyr.
At Palmyra in Sicily, the holy martyrs Libya and Leonides, sisters,
and Eutropia, a girl of twelve years, who won the crown of martyrdom
by various torments.
At Vallenciennes in France, the death of St. Landelin, abbot.
In Auvergne in France, St. Abraham, confessor, illustrious by his
holiness and miracles.
At Pibrac in the diocese of Toulouse, St. Germaine Cousin, virgin.
After a life of poverty, humility, and patient suffering amidst many
trials as shepherdess of her flocks, she went to her heavenly spouse,
and became renowned for numerous miracles after her death. Pope Pius
IX placed her in the number of holy virgins.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors,
and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
