The Golden Legend, Vol. 3 The Golden Legend, vol. 3 Author(s): Voragine, Jacobus de (1230-1298) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: The Golden Legend, an extensive collection of saints' bio- graphies, became one of the best-selling books of the late medieval period. By the 15th century, editions of Voragine's Golden Legend were available in every major European language. This seven-volume edition, published in 1900, is F. S. Ellis' modern update of a 1483 Middle English transla- tion. The third volume contains brief biographies of St. Valentine, St. Patrick, and St. Ambrose among more than fifty others.

ELLIS First issue of this Edition, 1900 Reprinted 1922, 1931 1 The Life of S. Pauline the Widow The Life of S. Pauline the Widow Here followeth of S. Pauline the Widow S. Pauline was a much noble widow of Rome, of whom S. Jerome wrote the life, and saith first thus: If all my members were turned into tongues, and all my arteries should re- sound in human voice, yet I might not worthily write the virtues of S. Pauline. I take witness of God and of his holy angels, and also of the angel that was keeper of this woman that I shall say nothing for praising but that same that I shall say shall be less than appertaineth to her virtues. She was born among the nobles of the senators of Rome, and of the lineage of the noble Gregois, rich of good and puissant of seignory at Rome. She was the most humble of all other, for like as the sun surmounteth the clearness of the stars, so surmounted she the beauty of others by her great humility. When her husband was passed out of this world, she abode lady of all the goods and riches. It happed that, at the mandment of the Emperor, many bishops came to Rome, among whom were there the holy man Paulinus, the patriarch of Antioch, and Epiphanius, bishop of Cyprus, of whom she was esprised in good virtues, so that she gave largely of her goods for God’s sake. Her parents, ne her friends, ne her own children could not turn her, ne make her to change her purpose, but that she would become the pilgrim of Jesu Christ, for the amorous desire that she had to Jesu Christ surmounted the love that she had to her children. Only among all her children she had put her affection in Eustochium her daughter, whom she led with her in this pilgrimage. She took the sea and sailed so far that she came into the holy land of Jerusalem. O how great devotion she had to visit the sepulchre of Jesu Christ and the other holy places, and how all weeping she kissed them, there can no man rehearse. All the city of Jerusalem could speak of it, and yet best of all knew the Lord for whose love she had forsaken all things. She had been at Rome so puissant and so noble, that every man coveted to do to her honour for her great renomee, but she that was founded upon humility sought the humble places and religious, and came at the last to Bethlehem. And when she had devoutly visited the place in which the Virgin Mary infanted and childed Jesu Christ, she fell in a vision, and as she sware to me, she saw in that vision the child wrapped in poor clouts Iying in the crib or in the rack, and how the three kings worshipped him, how the star came upon the house, and how the shepherds came to see him, and how Herod made persecution upon the inno- cents, and how Joseph bare the child into Egypt. And this vision she said, all in weeping and in laughing, and said: I salute thee Bethlehem wherein he is born, that descended from heaven, of thee prophesied Micah the fifth chapter, that of thee should be born the God that should govern the people of Israel, and the lineage of David should endure in thee unto the time that the glorious virgin should enfant Jesu Christ; and I wretched, as unworthy to repute me to kiss the crib in which our Lord wept as a child, and the virgin childed, here I shall take my rest and my dwelling, for my Saviour chose this place in Bethlehem. 2 The Life of S. Pauline the Widow She made there her habitation with many virgins that served God, and how well that she was lady of all, nevertheless she was the most humble and meek in speaking, in habit, and in going, in such wise that she seemed servant of all the other. She never ate after the death of her husband with no man, how good that he was; she visited as it is said tofore, all the holy places and the monks of Egypt, among whom were many of the ancient fathers and many holy men, and her seemed that she saw Jesu Christ among them. And after, she founded in Bethlehem an abbey in which she assembled virgins as well of noble estate as of middle and low lineage, and departed them in three congregations, so that they were departed in work, in meat, and drink, but in saying their psalter and adoring were they together at the hours as it appertaineth. And she induced and informed all the other in prayer and in work, by example giving, she was never idle. And all they were of one habit, and they had ne sheets ne linen cloth but to dry their hands, and they might have no licence to speak to men, and they that came late to the hours, she blamed debonairly or shortly, after that they were, and suffered not that any of them should have anything save the living and clothing, for to put away avarice from them.

  • The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip
    f The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip: The Apostle Who Was Slow-Witted Simon the Canaanite: The Apostle Who Was A Revolutionist Text: John 1:43-45. John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Introduction: Philip is always listed as the fifth person in the list of the Apostles. While he may have not been as prominent as the first four men listed; nevertheless, he seems to be the head of the second grouping of the disciples. We must remember that God is of no respecter of persons so, Philip is not to be considered to be of less importance. Although Philip is mentioned in the four complete lists of the twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14; Acts 1:13), it is interesting to observe that John is the only writer to tell us all that is to be said about Philip, yet he is the only one out of the four evangelists who does not quote the list. The first three evangelists give us his name and acquaint us with the fact that he was an apostle, but John loses sight of the dignity of the office that Philip filled and gives us a profile of the man himself with his own individualities and peculiarities.

  • Preaching the Risen Christ
    1 7861U NEW ZEALAND BIBLE CLASSES PREACHING THE RISEN CHRIST Speaker: Bro. Roger Lewis Study #2: The work of Philip continues Reading: Acts 8:14 to 25 Thank you, brother chairman, and my dear brethren and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, and my dear young people. Well, Acts 8 then, you'll remember that last time, we looked at verses 4 to 13, and this beginning of the story of the truth being preached in Samaria; and we found, remember, that this is the second great stage of the advance of the truth, that was predicted by Christ in Acts 1 verse 8 when He said, that the apostles would be witnesses unto Him in Jerusalem , in all Judea, in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. So Acts 8 and verses 4 to 25, or possibly 5 to 25, becomes that section of the truth going to Samaria. So the first thing is, if you haven't got that marked in you should do that now, is just have that lightly penciled out from either verse 4 or 5 (just a little pencil in the margin) and after the end of verse 25 (a little pencil in the margin, that just says that this is the beginning and end of a section which is one of the great stages of the advance of the truth marked out in Acts 1 verse 8). The truth going to Samaria which is the second great section of the advance of the truth. You'll remember that what we found interestingly enough in our study last time was that the man who becomes the champion of this work was Philip, and that the man Philip in this chapter is not Philip the apostle, but Philip the evangelist.

  • Mary and Motherhood by Lynee Zaunbrecher
    Mary and Motherhood by Lynee Zaunbrecher May is a very special month for our Blessed Mother, Mary. Not only do we celebrate Moth- er’s Day next weekend we also celebrate the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fama on May 13th. The month of May is our opportunity to honor Mary as our Blessed Mother and to honor our own mothers. Each of us has a mother. This woman may not be the one who gave us life through birth. This woman may be someone brave and selfless enough to “adopt” another as his or her own. Motherhood is the pinnacle of selfless giving. We should all take the me to say thank you to our mothers for giving us life. Say thank you to your mother for choosing to accept responsi- bility for your upbringing. Mother’s know joy and pain, suffering and sorrow. Mother’s know love beyond measure and immense pride in each accomplishment earned by their children. A mother knows love. “Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Luke 1:30 Mary was born without sin and lived her life without sin. Her fiat to the Archangel Gabriel is the bravest response ever recorded in human history. She chose to be the sacred vessel for Jesus. She chose to marry a man and not have relaons with him. Mary chose to follow Jesus as he walked to his death showing all of us how to face tragedy with grace and dignity. “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to thy word.” Luke 1:38 The selfless response to Gabriel is an example for all of us on how to respond to God.

  • HOLY NAME of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST January 1
    SAINT ANDREW THE APOSTLE November 30 A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans (10:8b-18) But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ. But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” The Word of the Lord Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God.
