PROLEGOMENA.

ELOGIUM EX MARTYROLOGIO ROMANO.

Salerni depositio beati Gregorii septimi, Ecclesiae libertatis propugnatori ac defensoris acerrimi.

LEGENDA EX BREVIARIO ROMANO.

LECTIO IV. Gregorius Papa Septimus, antea Hildebrandus, Suanae in Hetruria natus, doctrina, sanctitate, omnique virtutum genere cumprimis nobilis, mirifice universam Dei illustravit Ecclesiam. Cum parvulus ad fabri ligna edolantis pedes, jam litterarum inscius luderet, ex rejectis tamen segmentis illa Davidici elementa oraculi, Dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, casu formasse narratur, manum pueri ductante Numine: quo significaretur ejus fore amplissimam in mundo auctoritatem. Romam deinde profectus, sub protectione sancti Petri educatus est.
Juvenis Ecclesiae libertatem a laicis oppressam, ac depravatos Ecclesiasticorum mores vehementius dolens, in Cluniacensi monasterio, ubi sub regula sancti Benedicti austerioris vitae observantia eo tempore maxime vigebat, monachi habitum induens, tanto pietatis ardore divinae majestati deserviebat, ut a sanctis ejusdem coenobii patribus Prior sit electus. Sed, divina providentia majora de eo disponente in salutem plurimorum, Cluniaco eductus Hildebrandus, Abbas primum monasterii sancti Pauli extra muros Urbis electus, ac postmodum Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalis creatus, sub summis Pontificibus Leone Nono, Victore Secundo, Stephano Nono, Nicolao Secundo, et Alexandro Secundo, praecipuis muneribus et legationibus perfunctus est, sanctissimi et purissimi consilii vir a beato Petro Damiano nuncupatus. A Victore Papa Secundo legatus a latere in Galliam missus, Lugduni episcopum Simoniaca labe infectum ad sui criminis confessionem miraculo adegit, Berengarium in Concilio Turonensi ad iteratam haeresis abjurationem compulit: Cadolai quoque schisma sua virtute compressit.
LECTIO V. Mortuo Alexandro Secundo, invitus et moerens unanimi omnium consensu, decimo Kalendas Maii, anno Christi millesimo septuagesimo tertio, Summus Pontifex electus, sicut sol effulsit in domo Dei: nam potens opere et sermone, Ecclesiasticae disciplinae reparandae, fidei propagandae, libertati Ecclesiae restituendae, exstirpandis erroribus et corruptelis tanto studio incubuit, ut ex Apostolorum aetate nullus Pontificum fuisse tradatur qui majores pro Ecclesia Dei labores molestiasque pertulerit, aut qui pro ejus libertate acrius pugnaverit. Aliquot provincias a Simoniaca labe expurgavit. Contra Henrici imperatoris impios conatus, fortis per omnia athleta, impavidus permansit, seque pro muro domui Israel ponere non timuit, ac eumdem Henricum, in profundum malorum prolapsum, fidelium communione regnoque privavit, atque subditos populos fide ei data liberavit.
LECTIO VI. Dum Missarum solemnia perageret, visa est viris piis columba e coelo delapsa, humero ejus dextro insidens, alis extensis caput ejus velare: quo significatum est, Spiritus sancti afflatu, non humanae prudentiae rationibus ipsum duci in Ecclesiae regimine. Cum ab iniqui Henrici exercitu Roma gravi obsidione premeretur, excitatum ab hostibus incendium signo crucis exstinxit. De ejus manu tandem a Roberto Guiscardo duce Northmanno ereptus, Cassinum se contulit, atque inde Salernum ad dedicandam Ecclesiam sancti Matthaei Apostoli contendit. Cum aliquando in ea civitate sermonem habuisset ad populum, aerumnis confectus in morbum incidit, quo se interiturum praescivit. Postrema morientis
Gregorii verba fuere: Dilexi justitiam, et odivi iniquitatem, propterea morior in exsilio. Innumerabilia sunt quae vel fortiter sustinuit, vel, multis coactis in urbe Synodis, sapienter constituit vir vere sanctus, criminum vindex, et acerrimus Ecclesiae defensor. Exactis itaque in Pontificatu annis duodecim, migravit in coelum anno salutis millesimo octogesimo quinto, pluribus in vita et post mortem miraculis clarus, ejusque sacrum corpus in Cathedrali Basilica Salernitana est honorifice conditum.
