ERUNT SIGNA IN SOLE, ET LUNA, &c. LUC. xxi. 25, &c.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars, and upon earth distress of Nations, for the confusion of the sound of sea and waves:

This Gospel is to be brought to the subject of the general judgment. Let the pastor here therefore have recourse to the article of the Creed, “From thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead,” p. 61 and following, as it is directed to be done, p. 18, or according to the rite of other Churches.

Hoc Evangelium ad argumentum de judicio generali traducendum est. Quare hic recurrat Parochus ad articulum Symboli. “Inde venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos,” p. 61, et seqq. prout. faciendum præcipitur, p. 18, vel secundum aliarum Ecclesiarum ritum.

ECCE REX TUUS VENIT TIBI, &c. MATT. xxi. 5, &c.

Matthew 21:5 Say ye to the daughter of Sion: Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.

Here the pastor will fitly treat of what is set down concerning the Incarnation, and the causes of the coming of Christ our Lord, in articles 2 and 3 of the Apostles' Creed, pp. 31 and 37.

Hîc opportunè tractabit parochus ea, quæ de Incarnatione, et causis adventûs Christi Domini nostri habentur art. 2. et 3. Symboli Apostolici, p. 31, et 37.

INVENIETIS ASINAM ALLIGATAM, ET PULLAM CUM EA ; SOLVITE, &c.

Matthew 21:5 (continuing the same passage)

St. Athanasius, in his sermon on the words of this Gospel, shows from this passage that the power was given to the Apostles and their successors of loosing those who, like the asses, pressed down by the weight of their sins, should take refuge with them. Here therefore the pastor will expound to the people what is set down concerning confession, p. 189 and following, and absolution, p. 181, and the power of remitting sins in the Church, p. 82 and following.

D. Athanasius in sermone de verbis hujus Evangelii ostendit ex hoc loco Apostolis et eorum successoribus factam esse potestatem solvendi eos qui, instar asinorum, peccatorum pondere pressi, ad eos confugerent. Quare hîc populo exponet Parochus quæ habentur de confessione, p. 189, et seqq. et absolutione, p. 181, et de potestate remittendi peccata in Ecclesia, p. 82, et seqq.

CUM AUDISSET JOANNES IN VINCULIS, &c. TU ES QUI VENTURUS ES, &c. MATTH. xi. 2, &c.

Matthew 11:2 And when John had heard in prison the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, he said to him:

This so earnest questioning of John shows with how great care we ought to see to it that both we ourselves and those under us be instructed in matters of faith duly, and by Catholic teachers. See what serves this subject at the beginning of the Catechism, as far as the first article of the Creed.

Ista Joannis interrogatio tam sedula, ostendit quanto cum studio curare debeamus, ut de rebus fidei, et nos, et ii, qui nobis subsunt, ritè, et à Catholicis doctoribus instruamur. Vide quæ huic argumento inserviunt initio Catechismi, usque ad primum Symboli articulum.

IN VINCULIS.

Matthew 11:2 (continuing the same passage)

The faith is to be professed even unto bonds, nay even unto death, when there is need and we are pressed by a judge; nor is it enough to keep it shut up in the breast, however upright and sincere it be, as is shown p. 22 and following. Or, “There shall be signs in the sun and the moon,” &c., as on the preceding Sunday.

Fides usque ad vincula, immò ad necem usque, cùm opus est, et a judice urgemur, profitenda est : nec est satis eam pectore inclusam habere, quantumvis rectam et sinceram, ut ostenditur, p. 22, et seqq. vel “Erunt signa in Sole et Luna,” &c. ut Dominica præcedenti.

Catechism: p. 22

CONFESSUS EST ET NON NEGAVIT, JOAN. i. 20, &c.

John 1:20 And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed, That I am not CHRIST.

From this passage we are taught simply to confess the truth, and not to bring in an oath that we may be believed. See how far, and under what penalties, swearing is forbidden, in the second commandment, p. 254 and following.

Ex hoc loco simpliciter verum fateri docemur, nec intermiscere jusjurandum, ut nobis fides adhibeatur. Vide quanto, et sub quibus pænis jurare prohibitum, in 2. præcepto, p. 254, et seqq.

Agendum hîc de ministris baptismi, de quo, p. 119, et seq. et quomodo sese habeant in dispensatione Sacramentorum Christus Dominus et minister, quantùm ad effectum Sacramenti, p. 108, et seqq.

Catechism: p. 119, p. 108

CUJUS EGO NON SUM DIGNUS, &c.

John 1:20 (continuing the same passage)

Here the pastor ought to admonish the people committed to him to prepare themselves for the sacred communion at the Christmas festival, and to treat of the worthy receiving of so great a guest — the latchet of whose shoe John the Baptist judged himself unworthy to loose. See on preparation for the Eucharist, p. 167. Or, “When John had heard in prison,” as on the preceding Sunday.

Hic monere parochus populum sibi creditum debet ut se pro festis natalitiis ad sacram synaxim præparet, et agere de condigna tanti hospitis (cujus corrigiam calceamenti solvere indignum se Joannes Baptista censet) susceptione, vide de præparatione ad Eucharistiam, p. 167, vel “Cum audisset Joannes in vinculis. ut in Dominica præcedenti.”

ANNO QUINTODECIMO IMPERII TIBERII CÆSARIS, &c. LUC. iii. 1.

Luke 3:1 And in the fifteenth year of the empire of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Jewry, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch of Iturea, and the country Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilina,

Why mention is made here of the princes of the world, the same reason may be given which is given in article 4 of the Creed, concerning the same Pontius Pilate.

Cur hîc principum mundi fiat mentio, eadem ratio afferri potest, quæ affertur in articulo 4. Symboli de eodem Pontio Pilato.

FACTUM EST VERBUM DOMINI SUPER JOANNEM, &c.

Luke 3:1 (continuing the same passage)

Since John exercised the office of preaching the word of God only as one lawfully called by God, the pastor will here discourse of the lawful calling of the ministers of the Church, as it is set down on the Sacrament of Orders, p. 212 and following; and let him say that those are not lawful ministers who are not sent, as is delivered in the preface.

Quoniam Joannes non nisi a Deo legitimè vocatus officium verbi Dei prædicandi exercuit : ideo hîc de legitimâ vocatione ministrorum Ecclesiæ parochus disseret, ut habetur de sacram. Ordinis, p. 212, et seqq. legitimosque, eos ministros non esse dicat, qui missi non sunt, ut traditur in præfatione.

IN DESERTO.

Luke 3:1 (continuing the same passage)

Here let him treat of the probity and integrity of life of the ministers of the word (who are the priests) from the same place, p. 212 and following; and of the chastity enjoined upon them when they are made subdeacons, as is set down in the same place.

Hîc de probitate et morum integritate ministrorum verbi (qui sunt sacerdotes) agatur ex eodem loco 212, et seq. et de castitate, quæ eis, quando fiunt subdiaconi, indicitur, ut hab. ibidem.

PEPERIT PRIMOGENITUM FILIUM SUUM, &c. LUC. ii. 7, &c.

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her first begotten Son, and swaddled him in clothes, and laid him down in a manger; because there was not place for them in the inn.

Let the article of the Creed be explained, “Born of the Virgin Mary,” which belongs most properly to this place, of which p. 38 and following. On the same day, at the High Mass.

IN PRINCIPIO ERAT VERBUM, ET VERBUM ERAT, &c. JOAN i. 1, &c.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.

Since this passage is brought forward where the eternal generation of Christ our Lord is treated of, p. 35, the pastor will take the exposition of this passage from there.

Quoniam hic locus dum agitur de æterna Christi Domini generatione adducitur, p. 35, hinc parochus petet hujus loci expositionem.

ET TUAM IPSIUS ANIMAM PERTRANSIBIT GLADIUS, &c. LUC. ii. 35, &c.

Luke 2:35 and thine own soul shall a sword pierce, that out of many hearts cogitations may be revealed.

From this prediction of Simeon the pastor may take occasion to explain why God does not exempt the faithful, already baptized and held as his dearest children, from the troubles of this life — which is treated p. 129 — and whither they are then to flee for refuge, of which p. 318 and following.

Ex hac Simeonis prædictione ansam sumere poterit parochus explicandi, cur Deus fideles jam baptizatos, quos filios habet carissimos, non eximat ab incommodis vitæ hujus, qua de re agitur, p. 129, et quò confugiendum tunc sit, de quo p 318, et seq.

IN CIRCUMCISIONE DOMINI. ET POSTQUAM CONSUMMATI SUNT DIES OCTO, UT CIRCUMCIDERETUR PUER, &c. LUC. ii. 21, &c.

Luke 2:21 And after eight days were expired, that the child should be circumcised; his name was called Jesus, which was called by the Angel, before that he was conceived in the womb.

Since Baptism succeeded to circumcision, something may here be said in general of the force and efficacy of the Sacraments of the new law above the Sacraments of the old, as is set down p. 111.

Quoniam circumcisioni successit Baptismus, hîc in genere dici poterit de vi, et efficientia Sacramentorum novæ legis supra antiquæ legis Sacramenta, ut habetur, p. 111.

Catechism: p. 111

VOCATUM EST NOMEN EJUS JESUS, &c.

Luke 2:21 (continuing the same passage)

How fitly this name was given to Christ our Lord, and why, see p. 33. It is also to be observed here that a name is now given to children in baptism, as of old in circumcision: what the reason of this is, and what name ought to be given to a child, you have p. 136. Lastly, since the giving of a name is one of the ceremonies used in baptism, a discourse suited to the ceremonies and rites of baptism may be drawn from it, p. 133 and following.

Quàm convenienter hoc nomen inditum fuerit Christo Domino, et quare, vide p. 33. Observandum hic etiam est pueris nunc in baptismo, et olim in circumcisione nomen esse imponendum : cujus rei quænam sit ratio, et quale nomen puero imponi debeat, habes, p. 136.

VIDIMUS ENIM STELLAM EJUS IN ORIENTE, &c. MATTH. ii. 2, &c.

Matthew 2:2 saying, where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him.

Since by this star the philosophical knowledge of God may not unfitly be understood, as by the answer of the priests the light of faith, what is set down of the difference between Christian wisdom and philosophical knowledge, p. 23, may well be applied here.

Quoniam non ineptè per hanc stellam philosophica de Deo scientia potest intelligi, sicut per responsum sacerdotum fidei lumen, non malè hic adaptari poterunt quæ de differentia sapientiæ Christianæ à Philosophica notitia habentur, p. 23.

ET PROCIDENTES ADORAVERUNT EUM, &c. MATTH. ii. 11, &c.

Matthew 2:11 And entering into the house, they found the child with Marie his mother, and falling down adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Here of the adoration of God, which is called LATRIA, and with it of the veneration of the Saints, which is named DULIA. See in the exposition of the Decalogue pp. 237 and 245, as far as the second commandment. Here too the veneration and adoration of the Eucharist may be treated. For if we acknowledge and confess the same Christ whom the Magi adored to be present in the Eucharist — as is proved in express words, p. 159 and following — then, if we would be devout, why shall we not adore him as the Magi did? See p. 146 and following.

Hîc de adoratione Dei, quæ LATRIA dicitur, et simul de veneratione Sanctorum, quæ DULIA nominatur. Vide in expositione Decalogi p. 237, et 245, usque ad secundum præceptum. Hic agi etiam potest de Eucharistiæ veneratione et adoratione. Nam si eundem Christum, quem Magi adoraverunt præsentem in Eucharistia agnoscimus, et confitemur ; ut disertis verbis probatur, p. 159, et seqq. si pii esse volumus, cur non æque ac Magi eum adorabimus ?

Matthew 8:2 and behold a leper came and adored him saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

The Fathers say that by leprosy heresy is signified. Who are to be accounted heretics, and who are to be cast out of the camp of the Church as lepers were of old, is set down p. 70 and following.

VADE, OSTENDE TE SACERDOTI, &c.

Matthew 8:2 (continuing the same passage)

Chrysostom, in the third book On the Priesthood, teaches that a far more excellent power is given to our Priests than to those of Moses: for those did not cleanse the lepers brought to them, but only declared them cleansed; whereas ours, when they bestow the benefit of absolution on one duly prepared, truly cleanse the man stained with the leprosy of sin, and restore him to perfect health. Here of the power of the keys granted to Priests, as it is set down p. 82 and following.

Longè excellentiorem virtutem nostris Sacerdotibus tributam docet Chrysostomus lib. 3, de Sacerd. quàm Mosaicis, quòd illi oblatos sibi leprosos non mundarent ; sed mundatos tantùm esse declararent ; nostri verò hominem peccati leprâ maculatum, dum absolutionis beneficium rite præparato impendunt, verè emundant, et perfectæ sanitati restituunt.

Matthew 8:23 (continuing the same passage)

Since there is no time in which the life of men is so endangered as when the soul's departure is near, the pastor may from this passage exhort those under his charge that, when the day of death is at hand, they have recourse above all to God and receive the Sacrament of Extreme Unction, of which p. 206 and following.

Quoniam nullum est tempus, in quo ita hominum vita, quam in propinquo animæ exitu, periclitetur ; ideo parochus ex hoc loco hortari poterit suos subditos ut cùm mortis dies instabit, ad Deum maximè recurrant, et extremæ unctionis Sacramentum accipiant, de quo, p. 206, et sequentibus.

Matthew 13:25 But when men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat, and went his way.

In the Church there are two kinds of men: the good, who are signified by the name of wheat, and the wicked by the name of cockle — see p. 72 and following. Or by the cockle are understood the hatreds and quarrels which the Devil, the father of dissension, strives to sow in the field of the children of peace; the remedy of which malady you have pp. 281, 285 and 286.

In Ecclesià duo sunt hominum genera, boni, qui tritici nomine designantur ; improbi nomine zizaniorum, vide p. 72, et seqq. Vel per zizania intelliguntur odia, atque rixæ, quas pater dissentionis Diabolus seminare conatur in agro filiorum pacis, cujus morbi remedium habes, p. 281, 285, et 286.

Matthew 13:31 Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The Kingdom of Heaven is like to a Mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.

Since according to the Doctors faith is understood by the grain of mustard seed, there should be treated here what is set down of its necessity, p. 24; how the things proposed to be believed by faith are to be kept, pp. 26 and 27; and its excellence, and how far Christian wisdom concerning God differs from a philosophical knowledge of divine things, p. 23.

That the soldiers of Christ, beholding his cross as the standard of their captain, may be stirred up to take the arms of penance, this Gospel is read at the beginning of Lent, since it comprises the sum of our Lord's Passion. In this place the pastor will not unseasonably expound what is delivered at large of the Passion of our Lord, p. 43 and following. Or, if he prefers to defer this subject to another and more convenient time, he will today treat the other part of the Gospel, as follows.

Ut Christi milites ejus crucem tamquam vexillum sui ducis contuentes, ad arma pœnitentiæ sumenda exstimulentur, ideo hoc Evangelium ineunte quadragesimâ legitur, quod passionis Dominicæ summam complecitur, quo loco non importunè parochus exponet, quæ de Passione Domini fusè traduntur, p. 43, et seqq. Vel si in aliud tempus commodius differre malit hoc argumentum ; hodie alteram Evangelii partem pertractabit, ut sequitur.

JESU FILI DAVID MISERERE MEI.

Luke 18:32 (continuing the same passage)

Here you will show from this form how we pray to God otherwise than to the Saints, as you have p. 327. Further, if we are pressed by straits or tribulations, or stand in need of anything, we must have recourse to our Lord with this blind man, and importune God with prayers that he be at hand for us. See on the necessity and usefulness of prayer, p. 317.

Hic quomodo Deum aliter oremus ac Sanctos ex hac formula demonstrabis, ut habes, p. 327. Porrò si angustiis, aut tribulationibus premimur, aut re aliqua indigemus, ad Dominum cum hoc cæco nobis recurrendem est, precibusque sollicitandus Deus, ut nobis adsit.

Matthew 6:16 And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, that they have received their reward.

Since the fast of Lent was instituted for this end, that we might redeem the sins of the whole year by this as by a solemn penalty, the pastor ought today to stir up the faithful to embrace penance — of the necessity of which he writes, pp. 81 and 180 — to teach by what steps one may rise to penance, p. 179, and by what kinds of works we may satisfy for sins, p. 204 and following.

Cùm quadragesimæ jejunium eo nomine sit institutum, ut totius anni peccata hac quasi solemni mulctà redimeremus, hodiè parochus excitare fidelem populum debebit ad pœnitentiam amplectendam, de cujus necessitate scribit, p. 81, et 180, docere quibus gradibus ad pœnitentiam licet ascendere, p. 179, et quibus operum generibus pro peccatis satisfacere possimus, p. 204, et seqq.

Matthew 4:11 Then the Devil left him: and behold Angels came, and ministered to him.

Since the life of man upon earth is a temptation, as Job says (vii), temptation is here to be treated: the kinds of temptation; to what end men are suffered to be tempted; with what arms temptations are to be resisted; and other such matters, which are set down p. 375 and following.

Cùm sit tentatio vita hominis super terram, ut dicit Job, vii. hic de tentatione agendum, de generibus tentationum, ad quid permittantur homines tentari, quibus armis tentationibus resistendum, et cætera hujusmodi, quæ habentur, p. 375, et seqq.

Matthew 15:22 And behold a woman of Chanaan came forth out of those coasts, and crying out, said to him: Have mercy upon me, O Lord the Son of David: my daughter is sore vexed of a Devil.

Here you have a pattern of perfect prayer as regards the two conditions chiefly required in prayer, namely faith and perseverance, of which p. 329 and following.

If the Apostles, while living in this life and still anxious for themselves, intercede for the woman of Chanaan and are heard, shall they not dare so much as open their mouths in heaven? says St. Jerome against Vigilantius. Here of the intercession of the Saints, as it is set down p. 246 and following.

Si Apostoli in hac vita degentes, adhuc pro se soliciti pro Chananeâ interpellant, et exaudiuntur, et in cælo mutire non audebunt, inquit D. Hieron, contra Vigilantium. Hic de intercessione, Sanctorum, prout habetur p. 246, seqq.

Catechism: p. 246

[And Jesus was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb, Luke xi. 14, &c.] It is the devil's property to make him whom he possesses dumb — that is, to call him back from the confession of his sin. Yet there is no other way of casting out the devil than that the tongue be loosed to disclose the sin before the Priest. See what is set down of Confession, p. 189 and following.

ET ERAT JESUS EJICIENS DÆMONIUM, ET ILLUD ERAT MUTUM, LUC. xi. 14., &c.] Dæmonis proprium est eum, quem possidet, reddere mutum, id est, á confessione peccati revocare. Sed tamen non est alia ratio ejeciendi Dæmonis, quam ut linguam solvas ad detegendum coram Sacerdote peccatum, vide quæ de Confessione habentur, p. 189, et seqq.

OMNE REGNUM IN SEIPSUM DIVISUM DESOLABITUR.

The Church is the kingdom of Christ, as is set down p. 346; and that it be not divided against itself, it must needs be one. Hence the unity of the Church is here to be treated, from p. 74 and following.

Ecclesia est Christi regnum, ut habetur, p. 346. Id autem, ut in seipsum non sit divisum, unum esse necesse est, unde hic de unitate Ecclesiæ agendum est, ex p. 74, et seq.

TUNC ASSUMIT ALIOS SEPTEM SPIRITUS NEQUIORES SE.

This passage is brought forward p. 374 to prove that not one demon only, but sometimes several, tempt a man; and it appears from this place that the devil tempts the more fiercely those who have fallen away from him, as p. 375 and following.

Hic locus p. 374, inducitur ad probandum non unum tantum dæmonem, sed plures etiam interdum hominem tentare ; patet autem ex hoc loco dæmonem acrius eos tantare, qui ab eo defecerunt, ut est p. 375, et seqq.

John 6:5 When JESUS therefore had lifted up his eyes, and saw that a very great multitude cometh to him, he saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread: that these may eat?

Here that petition of the Lord's Prayer may fitly be explained: “Give us this day our daily bread,” p. 357 and following. It is besides to be noted that this bread had also the power of allaying thirst, as the doctors hold; and so the bread of the Eucharist stands to the laity in place of the chalice. Read of Communion under one kind, pp. 171, 172.

Hic aptè explicari poterit illa petitio Dominicæ orationis ; “Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis,” p. 357, et seqq. Notandum preterea quòd panis iste vim etiam habebat sedandi sitim, ut tenent doctores. Ita et panis Eucharistiæ laicis pro calice est. Lege de Communione sub una specie, p. 171, 172.

DISTRIBUIT DISCUMBENTIBUS.

John 6:5 (continuing the same passage)

Christ did not himself distribute, but gave to the Apostles, and they distributed to the multitude (Matt. xiv. 19). So from the beginning of the world, by the Patriarchs and Prophets, and afterwards by the Apostles and their successors, God supplies the word of God and the sacraments, as is set down pp. 13, 14 and 108. Yet it is Christ who chiefly works all these things, p. 108.

Christus non distribuit, sed dedit Apostolis, et illi distribuerunt turbæ, Matth., xiv. 19. Sic à mundi initio per Patriarchas et Prophetas, et postea per Apostolos eorumque successores Deus verbum Dei et sacramenta subministrat, ut habetur p. 13, 14, et 108.

John 8:46 Which of you shall argue me of sin? If I say the verity: why do you not believe me?

The innocence of Christ is fitly brought forward in today's Gospel, that the cause of our Lord's Passion — which the Church today begins to set before us — may be ready to our mind: namely, not his own offences, but ours. Of the causes of Christ's Passion you have p. 47.

Innocentia Christi in hodierno Evangelio convenienter profertur in medium, ut in promtu sit nobis causa Dominicæ Passionis quam hodie representare incipit Ecclesia, nimirum non propria illius delicta, sed nostra, De causis Passionis Christi habes, p. 47.

Catechism: p. 43

The Gospel as on the first Sunday of Advent, of which see there. But since at this season all who have come to the use of reason are bound by the precept of the Church to receive the Eucharist, the pastor may from these words of the Gospel, “Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek,” exhort the faithful to receive it, from what is set down pp. 147, 148, 163 and onward. And since parents are for the most part very negligent in presenting their children to receive the Eucharist, the pastor will press upon them especially what is set down of the age at which children are bound to receive it, p. 171.

Evangelium ut in prima Dominica Advents, de quo ibid. Cœterum quoniam ad Eucharistiam percipiendam ex præcepto Ecclesiæ eo tempore omnes discretione præditi obligantur, ideo ex his Evangelii verbis “Ecce Rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus,” ad ejus sumptionem Fideles hortari poterit parochus ex his quæ habentur, p. 147, 148, 163, et deinceps ; et quoniam parentes utplurimum negligentissimi sunt ad liberos suos ad Eucharistiæ perceptionem præsentandos, ideo eis maximè Parochus inculcabit, quæ de ætate ad quam pueri ad eam percipiendam tenentur, et habentur, p. 171.

Since on this day a solemn discourse is wont to be made on the mystery of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, besides what is set down in the exposition of the fourth article of the Creed, p. 43 and following, these further matters seem fit to be treated today.

Of the fall of our first parent and the miseries that followed it, of which pp. 32, 250 and following. How all remission of sins has flowed from the Passion of Christ, of which pp. 84 and 368; and that accordingly all the Sacraments have received their power from this Passion of Christ, as pp. 110 and 111. Of the sacrifice of Christ, both bloody and unbloody, from p. 175. Of the satisfaction and merit of Christ, of which pp. 202 and 203. Lastly, how the way into the kingdom of heaven never lay open to any, nor indeed can lie open, without this faith in the redemption of mankind by Christ, as p. 31; and that this is the sum and hinge of the whole Christian religion, to know Jesus Christ, and him crucified, as is set down p. 16.

Quoniam fieri vix potuit ut Parochus omnia, quæ ad resurrectionem Christi pertinent pridiè explicuerit, ideo hoc die poterit ea quæ prætermisit, ex eo loco repetere.

OPORTUIT PATI CHRISTUM, ET ITA INTRARE IN GLORIAM SUAM.

This is the proper place for expounding the reasons why it was necessary that Christ should rise, which are set down p. 55; and for exhorting the faithful by Christ's example to bend every effort to obtain the heavenly kingdom, which is set down p. 343; and of the benefits of tribulation, p. 378 and following.

Hic locus est proprius causas exponendi ob quas necesse fuit Christum resurgere, quæ habentur, p. 55, et exemplo Christi fideles hortandi ut omni studio incumbant ut cælesti regno potiantur ; quod habetur p. 343, et de commodis tribulationis, p. 378, et seq.

The rich are heaped with goods by God for this end, that they may lay them out upon the poor, p. 363. Here the pastor may exhort his people to almsgiving, as pp. 298, 299 and 328. This passage also makes for the intercession of the Saints, of which p. 245 and following, 326 and 327. Or, “Beware of false prophets,” as on the preceding Sunday; and so henceforth all the Gospels which follow on the remaining Sundays are in some Churches accustomed to be read on the preceding Sunday, which we have forborne to note.

Ideo divites à Deo bonis cumulantur, ut pauperibus ea erogent, p. 363. Hic ad eleemosynas suas poterit exhortari Parochus, prout est, p. 298, 299, et 328. Hic etiam locus pro intercessione Sanctorum facit, de qua, p. 245, et seq. 326, et 327 ; vel “Attendite à falsis prophetis,” ut in præcedenti Dominica, sicque deinceps omnia Evangelia quæ consequenter in reliquis Dominicis proponuntur, in quibusdam Ecclesiis, in præcedenti Dominica legi consueverunt, quod notare supersedimus.

FLEVIT SUPER ILLAM, LUC. xix. 41.

Flevit Christus, ut nos flere doceat. Quomodò verò in pœnitudine erratorum sint adhibendæ lacrymæ, et quam diligenter procurandæ, habes, p. 186, ubi de contritione agitur.

DEUS PROPITIUS ESTO MIHI PECCATORI.

Luke 18:11 (continuing the same passage)

This example of a true penitent is set forth among others, p. 327. Wherefore by his example and by others' — which are given in the same place and pp. 184, 185 — pastors will stir up the faithful to true penance. It is besides an example of those who, though sinners, pray to God and are heard, p. 322. Lastly, with how great humility we ought to come before God to pray is here shown, p. 328.

Hoc veri pœnitentis exemplum inter alia proponitur, p. 327. Quare cum istius tum aliorum exemplo, qui habentur ibidem et p. 184, 185, ad veram pœnitentiam Parochi fideles excitabunt.

ET DEPRECABANTUR EUM, UT ILLI IMPONAT MANUM, MARC, vii. 32, &c.

Mark 7:32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb, and they besought him that he would impose his hand upon him.

By the example of those who entreat Christ for the deaf and dumb man brought to him to be healed, we are admonished to pray for others. How this is to be done, and for whom we are to pray, you have p. 324 and following.

Istorum exemplo, qui Christum pro muto et surdo ad eum adducto, ut sanaretur, interpellant, monemur pro aliis orare. Quomodo verò id faciendum et pro quibus orandum habes, p. 324, et seq.

SUSPICIENS IN CŒLUM INGEMUIT, &c.

Mark 7:32 (continuing the same passage)

Since God is everywhere, why we turn our eyes to heaven rather than elsewhere, and why he is said to be in the heavens, p. 339. Moreover, since the sacred writings often call us deaf and blind and disabled in every member, as is set down p. 366, the pastor may here fitly discourse of the evils which sin brings in, as is set down in the same place.

Cùm Deus sit ubique, cur potius in cœlum quàm aliô oculus convertamus, et cur in cœlis esse dicatur, p. 339. Præterea quoniam sacræ literæ nos surdos et cæcos, et omnibus membris captos sæpe appellant : ut habetur, p. 366, hîc de malis quæ peccatum invehit, ut ibidem habetur, disserere Parochus commodè poterit.

DILIGES DOMINUM DEUM TUUM EX TOTO CORDE TUO, &c. LUC. x. 37, &c.

Luke 10:37 But he said: He that did mercy upon him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.

To this effect let there be set before the people what is contained at the beginning of the exposition of the Decalogue, p. 237, as far as the second commandment. Or, since this Gospel coincides with that of the seventeenth Sunday, he will expound the latter part of this Gospel, the former having been passed over.

In hanc sententiam populo proponantur, quæ habentur initio explicationis Decalogi, p. 237, usque ad secundum præceptum, vel quia hoc Evangelium concurrit cum Dominica decima-septima, posteriorem hujus Evangelii partem priori prætermissa exponet.

By this man so pitifully wounded by robbers the Doctors understand human nature after the fall of Adam; how many, of what kind, and how great the wounds it received, you have pp. 31, 32, and 350 and following, 358 and following, and 382 and following, and often elsewhere.

Hominis hujus ita miserabiliter à latronibus vulnerati nomine, Doctores intelligunt humanam naturam post Adæ lapsum, quæ, quot, qualia, et quanta, vulnera acceperit, habes, p. 31, 32, et 350, et seq. 358, et seqq. et 382, et seq. sæpeque alibi.

Catechism: p. 31

SAMARITANUS AUTEM INFUNDENS OLEUM, &c.

Luke 10:37 (continuing the same passage)

Here let the pastor treat of the Sacraments, which were instituted by our Samaritan, that is by Christ, as remedies against the wounds inflicted on human nature by the fall of Adam, as is set down pp. 103, 104.

Hic de Sacramentis agat Parochus, quæ à nostro Samaritano, id est à Christo instituta sunt, tamquam remedia contra vulnera humanæ naturæ, per Adæ lapsum inflicta, ut habetur, p. 103, 104.

JESU PRÆCEPTOR, MISERERE NOSTRI, LUC. xvii. 13, &c.

Luke 17:13 and they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus Master, have mercy on us.

Of the name of Jesus, see p. 33. [Go, show yourselves to the priests, &c.] See what was said to this effect on the second Sunday after the Epiphany; see besides p. 191, where this passage is expressly cited. How likewise sins are forgiven by the benefit of contrition is proved from this passage, pp. 188 and 189 — which nevertheless requires confession, as is set down pp. 184 and 190.

De nomine Jesu, vide p. 33. ITE, OSTENDITE VOS SACERDOTIBUS, &c.] Vide quæ in hanc sententiam dicta sunt Dominica secunda post Epiphaniam : vide præterea, p. 191, ubi nominatim hic locus adducitur.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say to you, be not careful for your life, what you shall eat, neither for your body what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?

Si hic mortuus et quidam alii sint revocati ad vitam, quomodo intelligendum quod Christus primus omnium resurrexerit, vide p. 53. Hic tractari poterit articulus Symboli Apostolici penult. de carnis resurrectione p. 85, et seq.

CUM INVITATUS FERIS AD NUPTIAS, &c.

Luke 14:3 (continuing the same passage)

This is the place for exhorting all Christians not to prefer themselves one before another, as p. 338, nor to be ambitious and over-desirous of honours, as p. 41.

Matthew 9:2 And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in bed. And Jesus seeing their faith, said to the sick of the palsy: Have a good heart Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

See how far God is moved by another's faith to bestow a gift upon one who not only does not ask it but does not even think of it. Hence it comes that in baptism infants are made partakers of regeneration — not because they believe by the assent of their own mind, but because they are fortified by the faith of their sponsors, or of their parents if these be believers, and if not, by the faith of the Catholic Church, as Augustine says: p. 124; and of sponsors, p. 120 and following.

Ecce quantum fide aliena moveatur Deus ad aliquod donum alteri non modo non petenti, sed ne cogitanti quidem impertiendum. Hinc fit ut in baptismo infantes regenerationis fiant participes, non quia mentis suæ assentione credant, sed quia susceptorum, vel parentum, (si fideles fuerint) sin minus, Ecclesiæ Catholicæ (ut ait Augustinus) fide muniantur, p. 124, et de patrinis, p. 120, et seq.

Catechism: p. 124, p. 120

REMITTUNTUR TIBI PECCATA TUA, &c.

Matthew 9:2 (continuing the same passage)

That Christ as man had first of all the power of forgiving sins is proved from this passage, p. 83. Further, when a Priest having jurisdiction, whether ordinary or delegated, forgives the sins of one duly penitent, that man is no less absolved than the paralytic was, so far as the Sacrament is concerned. Of the form of absolution you have pp. 181 and 182.

Christum ut hominem primum omnium potestatem remittendorum peccatorum habuisse ex hoc loco probatur, p. 83. Porro dum Sacerdos, jurisdictionem habens vel ordinariam vel delegatam, rite pænitenti peccata remittit, non minus absolvitur, quàm paralyticus, quantum est ex parte Sacram.

QUI NUPTIAS FECIT FILIO SUO, MATTH. xxii. 2, &c.

Matthew 22:2 The Kingdom of Heaven is likened to a man being a King, which made a marriage to his son.

For what causes a man and a woman ought to be joined, see p. 229; what sort of wives are rather to be sought, p. 230; the mutual duties of husband and wife, p. 233 and following; and that at certain times they ought to abstain from the marriage duty for the sake of prayer, p. 236. Likewise of the three goods of matrimony, p. 233.

Whence come so many miseries and adversities, and what and how many they are, p. 358. Whither we must flee in evils and adversities, pp. 375 and 380. Here the last petition of the Lord's Prayer may be expounded: “But deliver us from evil,” p. 381.

Unde tot miseriæ et adversitates, et quæ quotque illæ sint, p. 358. Quò in malis et rebus adversis confugiendum, p. 375, et 380. Hic exponi poterit ultima petitio Dominicæ orationis : “Sed libera nos à malo,” p. 381.

Matthew 18:28 And when that servant was gone forth, he found one of his fellow-servants that did owe him an hundred pence: and laying hands upon him throttled him, saying: Repay that thou owest.

Restitution is necessary for a penitent before he is absolved, because “the sin is not forgiven unless what was taken away be restored,” as Augustine says. See of restitution, pp. 294 and 296. Likewise of theft, rapine, usury and other unlawful takings, p. 294 and following.

Restitutio pænitenti est necessaria, antequam absolvatur, quia “non dimittitur peccatum, nisi restituatur ablatum,” ut inquit Augustinus : vide de restitutione, p. 294, et 296. Item de furto, rapina, usuris et aliis illicitis rerum usurpationibus, p. 294, et seq.
