So there is no visible indication yet of the awakening Dawn, not that I can see with the laptop open and the reading light on, anyway. It is 48 degrees and predicted by the one coven of mages to reach 68 later on-- a twenty degree range is unusual but perhaps I am just forgetting, after the dry season begun in May, what is more or less ordinary in these months. Today is the feast of the Imprinting of Saint Francis's Stigmata and the Saturday infra hebdomadam XIVa post Pentecosten. I believe that this is probably the only day of the year when Saint Bonaventura is read at Matins; the lessons from Saint Francis's feast in October are, I suppose, his legenda from one version or another. The Mass Mihi autem absit gloriári is said both today and on the feast of the Saint's Transitus, 4th October, if Divinum Officium is a reliable guide here; the video recording from Saint-E. is available (since it was celebrated at midnight, my time; I was fast asleep at that point). Dawn is behaving with much decorum this morning but is still quietly uprising-- yet again I've not noticed when this began.
Oratio. Dómine Jesu Christe, qui, frigescénte mundo, ad inflammándum corda nostra tui amóris igne, in carne beatíssimi Francísci passiónis tuæ sacra Stígmata renovásti: concéde propítius; ut ejus méritis et précibus crucem júgiter ferámus, et dignos fructus pœniténtiæ faciámus: Qui vivis.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Gálatas. Gal. 6, 14-18. Fratres: Mihi autem absit gloriári, nisi in Cruce Dómini nostri Jesu Christi: per quem mihi mundus crucifíxus est, et ego mundo. In Christo enim Jesu neque circumcísio áliquid valet neque præpútium, sed nova creatúra. Et quicúmque hanc régulam secúti fúerint, pax sin per illos et misericórdia, et super Israël Dei. De cetero nemo mihi moléstus sit: ego enim stígmata Dómini Jesu in córpore meo porto. Grátia Dómini nostri Jesu Christi cum spíritu vestro, fratres. Amen.
Graduale. Ps. 36, 30-31. Os justi meditábitur sapiéntiam, et lingua ejus loquétur judícium. V. Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsíus: et non supplantabúntur gressus ejus.
Allelúja, allelúja. V. Francíscus pauper et húmilis cœlum dives ingréditur, hymnis cœléstibus honorátur. Allelúja.
+ Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum. Matth. 16, 24-27. In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Si quis vult post me veníre, ábneget semetípsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequátur me. Qui enim volúerit ánimam salvam fácere, perdet eam: qui autem perdíderit ánimam suam propter me, invéniet eam. Quid enim prodest hómini, si mundum univérsum lucrétur, ánimæ vero suæ detriméntum patiátur? Aut quam dabit homo commutatiónem pro ánima sua? Fílius enim hóminis ventúrus est in glória Patris sui cum Angelis suis: et tunc reddet unicuíque secúndum ópera ejus.
Offertorium. Ps. 88, 25. Véritas mea et misericórdia mea cum ipso: et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu ejus.
Secreta. Múnera tibi, Dómine, dicata sanctífica: et, intercedénte beáto Francísco, ab omni nos culpárum labe purífica. Per Dóminum.
Communio. Luc. 12, 42. Fidélis servus et prudens, quem constítuit dóminus super famíliam suam: ut det illis in témpore trítici mensúram.
Postcommunio. Deus, qui mira Crucis mystéria in beáto Francísco Confessóre tuo multifórmiter demonstrásti: da nobis, quǽsumus; devotiónis suæ semper exémpla sectári, et assídua ejúsdem Crucis meditatióne muníri. Per Dóminum.
