From the Office of Matins:
| Lectio 3 Vincéntius, Oscæ in Hispánia citerióre natus, a prima ætáte stúdiis déditus, sacras lítteras a Valério Cæsaraugustáno epíscopo dídicit; cuius étiam partes suscépit prædicándi Evangélium, quod epíscopus, propter linguæ impediméntum, prædicatiónis offício fungi non póterat. Ea re ad Daciánum, impiíssimum præsidem deláta. Vincéntius ab eódem Valéntiam addúcitur; et cárceres, famem, equúleum aliáque tormentórum génera perpéssus, ad martyrii corónam advolávit undécimo Kaléndas Februárii. Anastásius Persa, mónachus, Heraclío imperatóre, cum sanctam Ierosolymórum terram visitásset, ad Cæsaréam Palæstínæ pro Christi religióne víncula et vérbera constánter perpéssus est. Mox a Persis ob eámdem causam váriis cruciátibus afféctus, a rege Chósroa una cum septuagínta áliis Christiánis secúri percútitur. Cuius relíquiæ primum Ierosólymam, deínde Romam delátæ, collocátæ sunt in monastério ad Aquas Sálvias. |
Vincent, born at Huesca in Spain. was an earnest student even as a child. He learned the sacred sciences from Valerius, Bishop of Saragossa. and then took over the work of preaching the Gospel since the bishop could not fulfill his preaching office because of an impediment of speech. For this reason Vincent was reported to the wicked prefect, Dacian, and brought to him in Valencia' He suffered imprisonment, hunger, racking and many other tortures; and gained the crown of martyrdom on the 22nd of January. Anastasius, a Persian monk' made a pilgrimage to the holy places in Jerusalem at the time of the emperor Heraclius. At Caesarea in Palestine he steadfastly endured imprisonment and scourging for professing his faith in Christ. Soon after, in Persia, he was afflicted by King Chosroes with many tortures for the same cause and was beheaded, together with seventy other Christians. His relics were first brought to Jerusalem' then taken to Rome, and finally placed in the monastery at Aquae Salviae. |
