The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER LVII
Of the Artists of the Monastery
If there be skilled workmen in the monastery, let them work at their
art in all humility, if the Abbot giveth his permission. But if
anyone of them should grow proud by reason of his art, in that he
seemeth to confer a benefit on the monastery, let him be removed from
that work and not return to it, unless after he hath humbled himself,
the Abbot again ordereth him to do so. But if any of the work of the
artists is to be sold, let them, through whose hands the transaction
must pass, see to it, that they do not presume to practice any fraud
on the monastery. Let them always be mindful of Ananias and Saphira,
lest, perhaps, the death which these suffered in the body (cf Acts
5:1-11), they and all who practice any fraud in things belonging to
the monastery suffer in the soul. On the other hand, as regards the
prices of these things, let not the vice of avarice creep in, but let
it always be given a little cheaper than it can be given by seculars,
That God May Be Glorified in All Things (1 Pt 4:11).
Martyrology-April 11th
Roman Martyrology-April 11th-on this date in various years-
St. Leo the First, pope and confessor, who was surnamed the Great.
His birthday falls on the 10th of November.
At Pergamum in Asia, the faithful witness, St. Antipas, who was
mentioned by St. John in the Apocalypse. Under Emperor Domitian, he
was enclosed in an ox made of brass that had been heated to redness,
and thus completed his martyrdom.
At Salona in Dalmatia, the holy martyrs Domnio, bishop, and eight
soldiers.
At Gortina in Crete, during the reign of Marcus Antoninus Verus and
Lucius Aurelius Commodus, St. Philip, bishop, well known for his life
and his teaching. He had defended the Church entrusted to his care
against the fury of the heathen and the snares of the heretics.
At Nicomedia, the priest St. Eustorgius.
At Spoleto, St. Isaac, monk and confessor, whose virtues are
recorded by Pope St. Gregory.
At Gaza in Palestine, in the time of Emperor Justinian, St.
Barsanuphius, an anchoret.
At Luca in Etruria, St. Gemma Galgani, virgin, renowned for her
contemplation of the Passion of our Lord, and for a life of holiness,
and whom Pope Pius XII joined to the number of the Saints.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors,
and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
