The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER LII
Of the Oratory of the Monastery
Let the oratory be what it is called, and let nothing else be done or stored there. When the Work of God is finished, let all go out with the deepest silence, and let reverence be shown to God; that a brother who perhaps desireth to pray especially by himself is not prevented by another's misconduct. But if perhaps another desireth to pray alone in private, let him enter with simplicity and pray, not with a loud voice, but with tears and fervor of heart. Therefore, let him who doth not say his prayers in this way, not be permitted to stay in the oratory after the Work of God is finished, as we said, that another may not be disturbed.
Martyrology-December 4th
Roman Martyrology-December 4th-on this date in various years-
St. Peter Chrysologus, bishop of Ravenna, confessor, and doctor of the
Church, whose birthday is kept on the 2nd of December.
At Nicomedia, the passion of St. Barbara, virgin and martyr, in the
persecution of Maximinus. After a series of sufferings, a long
imprisonment, the burning with torches, and the cutting away of her breasts,
her martyrdom was fulfilled by the sword.
At Constantinople, St. Theophanes and his companions.
In Pontus, blessed Meletius, bishop and confessor, who joined to an eminent
gift of knowledge the more distinguished glory of fortitude and integrity of
life.
At Bologna, St. Felix, bishop was one time deacon of the Milanese Church
under St. Ambrose.
In England, St. Osmund, bishop and confessor.
At Cologne, St. Anno, bishop.
In Mesopotamia, St. Maruthas, bishop, who restored the churches of God that
had been ruined in Persia by the persecution of King Isdegerd. Being
renowned for many miracles, he merited to be honoured even by his enemies.
At Parma, St. Bernard, cardinal and bishop of that city, of the Congregation
of Vallombrosa of the Order of St. Benedict.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and
holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
