| Oratio V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spiritu tuo. Orémus. Deus, qui populo tuo aeternae salutis beatum Hilarium ministrum tribuisti: praesta quaesumus; ut, quem Doctorem vitae habuimus in terris, intercessorem habere mereamur in caelis. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, Filium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. R. Amen. Orémus. Pro S. Felicis Mart. Concéde, quaesumus, omnípotens Deus: ut ad meliórem vitam Sanctórum tuórum exémpla nos próvocent; quaténus, quorum sollémnia ágimus, étiam actus imitémur. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, Filium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. R. Amen. |
V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. O God, Who gave to Your people, blessed Hilary, as a minister of salvation, grant, we beseech You, that we who cherished him on earth as a teacher of life, may be found worthy to have him as an intercessor in heaven. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. R. Amen. Let us pray. For ST. FELIX Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the example of Your saints may urge us on to a better life, so that we may imitate the deeds of those whose feasts we celebrate. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. R. Amen. |
From the Office of Matins:
| Lectio 3 Hilárius, in Aquitánia nóbili génere natus, doctrína et eloquéntia excélluit. Pictavórum epíscopus creátus, tale munus sic gessit, ut a fidélibus summam laudem consequerétur. Ob cathólicam fidem, quam strénue propugnávit, quadriénnio apud Phrygiam relegátus, inter ália mirácula, mórtuum suscitávit. Duódecim libros scripsit de Trinitáte contra Ariános, et Gálliam univérsam addúxit, ut Arianórum impietátem condemnáret. Multos libros scripsit mira eruditióne; quos omnes sanctus Hierónymus ad Lætam sine ulla erróris suspicióne legi posse testátur illis verbis: Hilárii libros inoffénso decúrrat pede. Migrávit in cælum Idibus Ianuárii, anno trecentésimo sexagésimo nono. Eum Pius nonus Póntifex máximus, instánte synodo Burdigalénsi, Doctórem universális Ecclésiæ declarávit et confirmávit.V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis. R. Deo grátias. |
Hilarius born of a noble family in Aquitaine, had few equals in teaching and eloquence. Made bishop of Poitiers, he exercised his ministry in such a way as to gain the highest praise from the faithful. His vigorous campaign for the Catholic faith led to a four year exile in Phrygia. There he raised a dead man to life and performed other miracles. He wrote twelve books on the Trinity against the Arians, and induced all Gaul to condemn the Arian blasphemy He wrote many books showing wonderful learning; St. Jerome writing to Laeta, testifies in these words that they can be read with out the least fear of error: one can run through Hilary's works without stumbling." He went to heaven on the l3th of January in the year 369. Pins IX, at the request of the synod of Bordeaux, declared and confirmed him to be a Doctor of the universal Church.V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R. Thanks be to God. |
