5. September
Hl. Laurentius Justiniani, Bischof und Bekenner
Samstag nach dem 14. Sonntag nach Pfingsten
Am 5. September feiert der traditionelle römische Kalender (Missale von 1962) das Fest des heiligen Laurentius Justiniani, Bischof und Bekenner. Laurentius wurde um 1381 in Venedig geboren und trat schon früh in den Kreis der Augustiner-Chorherren von San Giorgio in Alga ein. Er zeichnete sich durch tiefe Frömmigkeit, Demut und eine ausgeprägte Liebe zur Kontemplation und zum Gebet aus. Als überzeugter Reformer strebte er eine Erneuerung des religiösen Lebens seiner Zeit an, wobei er stets die Armen und Bedürftigen im Blick hatte. Im Jahr 1433 wurde er zum ersten Patriarchen von Venedig ernannt, nachdem Venedig von der Diözese Castello zu einer Patriarchalsitz erhoben worden war. In seinem bischöflichen Dienst legte Laurentius besonderen Wert auf pastorale Fürsorge, gefördert durch die regelmäßige Spendung der Sakramente, Predigttätigkeit und den persönlichen Kontakt mit den Gläubigen. Seine spirituellen Schriften, die von innerer Sammlung und mystischer Erfahrung zeugen, fanden über seine Lebenszeit hinaus große Verbreitung und beeinflussten spätere Generationen der katholischen Mystik.
Laurentius Justiniani starb im Jahr 1456 und wurde 1690 von Papst Alexander VIII. heiliggesprochen. Seine Heiligkeit wurde besonders in seiner Heimatstadt Venedig geschätzt, doch sein Fest fand Eingang in den römischen Generalkalender, um seiner Vorbildfunktion als Hirte und Reformator zu gedenken. Im traditionellen Kalender wird sein Fest als Fest III. Klasse begangen, was seine Bedeutung als herausragender Bischof und Glaubenszeuge in der Geschichte der Kirche unterstreicht.

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est iustus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio. Non est invéntus símilis illi, qui conservávit legem Excélsi.

Agnóvit eum in benedictiónibus suis: conservávit illi misericórdiam suam: et invénit grátiam coram óculis Dómini. Magnificávit eum in conspéctu regum: et dedit illi corónam glóriæ. Státuit illi testaméntum ætérnum, et dedit illi sacerdótium magnum: et beatificávit illum in glória. Fungi sacerdótio, et habére laudem in nómine ipsíus, et offérre illi incénsum dignum in odórem suavitátis.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Sir 44:16-27; 45:3-20
Behold, a great priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found just; and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. There was not found the like to him, who kept the law of the Most High. Therefore, by an oath, the Lord made him to increase among his people. He gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed His covenant upon his head. He acknowledged him in His blessings; He preserved for him His mercy; and he found grace before the eyes of the Lord. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him a crown of glory. He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him a great priesthood; and made him blessed in glory. To execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise in His name, and to offer Him a worthy incense for an odor of sweetness.
℟. Thanks be to God.

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Homo péregre proficíscens vocávit servos suos, et trádidit illis bona sua. Et uni dedit quinque talénta, álii autem duo, álii vero unum, unicuíque secúndum própriam virtútem, et proféctus est statim. Abiit autem, qui quinque talénta accéperat, et operátus est in eis, et lucrátus est ália quinque. Simíliter et, qui duo accéperat, lucrátus est ália duo. Qui autem unum accéperat, ábiens fodit in terram, et abscóndit pecúniam dómini sui. Post multum vero témporis venit dóminus servórum illórum, et pósuit ratiónem cum eis. Et accédens qui quinque talénta accéperat, óbtulit ália quinque talénta, dicens: Dómine, quinque talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce, ália quinque superlucrátus sum. Ait illi dóminus eius: Euge, serve bone et fidélis, quia super pauca fuísti fidélis, super multa te constítuam: intra in gáudium dómini tui. Accéssit autem et qui duo talénta accéperat, et ait: Dómine, duo talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce, ália duo lucrátus sum. Ait illi dóminus eius: Euge, serve bone et fidélis, quia super pauca fuísti fidélis, super multa te constítuam: intra in gáudium dómini tui.

℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Matt 25:14-23
At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: A man going abroad, called his servants and handed over his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his particular ability, and then he went on his journey. And he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more. In like manner, he who had received the two gained two more. But he who had received the one went away and dug in the earth and hid his master’s money. Then after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; behold, I have gained five others in addition.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; because you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many; enter into the joy of your master.’ And he also who had received the two talents came, and said, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; behold, I have gained two more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; because you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many; enter into the joy of your master.’
