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-June 13th
Roman Martyrology-June 13th- on this date in various years-
At Padua, St. Anthony, a native of Portugal, priest of the Order of
Friars Minor and confessor, illustrious for the sanctity of his life,
his miracles, and his preaching. Pope Gregory IX placed him on the
canon of the saints within a year after his death.
At Rome, on the Ardeatine Way, the birthday of St. Felicula, virgin
and martyr, who was delivered to the judge for refusing to marry
Flaccus and to sacrifice to idols. As she persevered in the
confession of Christ, he confined her in a dark dungeon without food,
and afterwards caused her to be stretched on the rack until she
expired. She was then thrown into a sewer, but St. Nicomedes the
Priest recovered her body and buried it on this road.
In Abruzzi, St. Peregrinus, bishop and martyr. For the Catholic
faith he was thrown into the river Aterno by the Lombards.
At Cordova in Spain, in the persecution of the Arabs, St. Fandila, a
priest and monk, who underwent martyrdom by beheading for the faith
of Christ.
In Africa, the holy martyrs Fortunatus and Lucian.
At Byblos in Phoenicia, St. Aquilina, virgin and martyr, at the age
of twelve years, under Emperor Diocletian and the judge Volusian.
For the confession of the faith, she was beaten, scourged, pierced
with heated stakes, and finally being struck with a sword,
consecrated her virginity by martyrdom.
In Cyprus, St. Triphyllius, bishop.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors,
and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
