De libro secúndo Maccabæórum 6, 18-28
In diébus illis: Eleazárus quidam, unus de primóribus scribárum, vir iam ætáte provéctus et aspéctu faciéi decórus, apérto ore compellebátur carnem porcínam manducáre. At ille magis cum illústri fama mortem quam cum exsecratióne vitam compléctens, voluntárie præíbat ad supplícium, éxspuens autem, quemádmodum opórtet accédere eos qui sústinent non admíttere illa, quæ non est fas gustáre, propter nímium vivéndi amórem.
Hi autem, qui iníquo sacrifício præpósiti erant, propter antíquam cum viro amicítiam tolléntes eum secréto rogábant ut afférret carnes, quibus uti ei licéret quæque ab ipso parátæ essent, et fíngeret se eas manducáre, quas rex imperáverat de sacrifícii cárnibus, ut hoc facto a morte liberarétur et propter véterem cum illis amicítiam consequerétur humanitátem.
At ille, consílio decóro ínito ac digno ætáte et senectútis eminéntia et acquisíta nobilíque canítie atque óptima a púero vitæ disciplína, magis autem sancta et a Deo cóndita legislatióne, consequénter senténtiam osténdit: cito, dicens, dimítterent ad ínferos. " Non enim ætáti nostræ dignum est fíngere, ut multi adulescéntium arbitrántes Eleazárum nonagínta annórum transísse ad morem alienigenárum et ipsi propter meam simulatiónem et propter módicum et pusíllum vitæ tempus decipiántur propter me, et exsecratiónem atque máculam meæ senectúti conquíram. Nam etsi in præsénti témpore evásero eam quæ ex homínibus est pœnam, manus tamen Omnipoténtis nec vivus nec defúnctus effúgiam. Quam ob rem viríliter nunc vita excedéndo senectúte quidem dignus apparébo, adulescéntibus autem exémplum forte relíquero, ut prompto ánimo ac fórtiter pro sacris ac sanctis légibus honésta morte perfungántur." Et, cum hæc dixísset, conféstim ad supplícium venit.
r. Congregátæ sunt gentes in multitúdine, ut dimicárent contra nos, et ignorámus quid ágere debeámus. * Dómine Deus, ad te sunt óculi nostri, ne pereámus. v. Qui regis Israel, inténde, qui dedúcis velut ovem Ioseph. * Dómine Deus. v. Glória Patri. * Dómine Deus.
In secundo nocturno, anno II)
Ex Catechésibus sancti Cyrílli Hierosolymitáni epíscopi (Cat. 5: PG 33, 518-519)
Fidei nomen appellatióne unum est, bifáriam vero divíditur. Est enim unum genus fídei quod ad dógmata pértinet, quod assensiónem et approbatiónem ánimæ de re quadam inclúdit; et ad ánimæ utilitátem pértinet, sicut ait Dóminus: Qui audit verba mea et credit ei qui misit me, habet vitam ætérnam et in iudícium non venit; et rursus: Qui credit in Fílium, non iudicátur, - sed tránsiit de morte ad vitam.
O magnam Dei in hómines bonitátem! Iusti síquidem multórum annórum labóre Deo placuérunt. Quod autem illi, per annórum plurimórum accéptum Deo servítium strénue se geréntes, consecúti sunt, id tibi Iesus uníus horæ compéndio largítur. Si enim credíderis quod Dóminus est Iesus Christus et quod Deus suscitávit illum a mórtuis, salvus eris et transferéris in paradísum ab eo qui latrónem illo introdúxit. Neque diffídas utrum id fíeri possit, nam qui latrónem post uníus horæ fidem in hoc sancto Gólgotha salvum effécit, idem te quoque cum credíderis salvum effíciet.
Alterum vero genus est fídei, quod grátiæ cuiúsdam loco a Christo donátur. Alii enim per Spíritum datur sermo sapiéntiæ, álii sermo sciéntiæ secúndum eúmdem Spíritum; álteri vero fides in eódem Spíritu, álteri vero curatiónum dona. Hæc ígitur grátiæ loco a Spíritu colláta fides, non solum dogmática est, verum étiam rerum humánas vires excedéntium effíciens. Qui enim habúerit fidem hanc, dicet monti huic: Transi hinc illuc; et transíbit. Quando enim per fidem hoc ipsum díxerit quíspiam, credens ita futúrum, nec hæsitáverit in corde suo, tunc illam áccipit grátiam. Hábeas ítaque eam fidem quæ a te pendet, et in Deum fertur; ut étiam ab illo accípias eam quæ super humánas vires operátur.
r. Congregáti sunt inimíci nostri et gloriántur in virtúte sua; cóntere fortitúdinem illórum, Dómine, et dispérge illos, * Quia non est álius qui pugnet pro nobis, nisi tu Deus noster. v. Dispérge illos in virtúte tua et déstrue eos, protéctor noster, Dómine. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.
Orémus.
Omnípotens et miséricors Deus, univérsa nobis adversántia propitiátus exclúde, † ut, mente et córpore páriter expedíti, * quæ tua sunt líberis méntibus exsequámur. Per Dóminum.
Almighty and merciful God, in Thy goodness remove everything that would be contrary unto us, so that with our soul and body freed, we can devote ourselves to Thy service in complete freedom of spirit.
