​Chapter XXVI: Of A Certain Virgin Who Was In Jerusalem
AND moreover, I saw a certain virgin in Jerusalem who had been clothed in sackcloth for three years, and she had secluded herself in a solitary cell, and had never permitted herself to enjoy any of the desirable things wherein there is pleasure. Now this woman, having been forsaken by the Divine Providence, because of her immeasurable pride and ​arrogance fell into the ditches of fornication, and she opened the window of the habitation in which she had secluded herself, and received [therein] the man who ministered unto her, and she had intercourse with him. And because she did not continue to persevere in faith and in the ascetic life with a perfect will, and with a mind which possessed Divine love, but [departed therefrom] for the sake of men, that is to say, for the sake of vainglory, doing so, moreover, with an evil intent and with a corrupt and lascivious mind—for her own thoughts having been cut off, since they had been robbed of the Divine understanding, she came to the condition of casting blame upon others—the guardian of chastity did not remain with her.

​Chapter XXIV: Of Ptolemy The Egyptian Who Was In Scete
AND there was also another man whose name was Ptolemy, and he was by race from Egypt, and he observed a rule of life which no man is able to describe, or rather it is very difficult to relate the story of his life. He dwelt away beyond Scete in that [district] which is called “Klimax.” Now the place which is thus called it is impossible for a man to dwell in by reason of its ruggedness, and it was distant from the stream of water wherefrom the brethren used ​to draw twelve miles. Now this man Ptolemy used to take many vessels for water, and carry [them] to a certain spot where much dew fell, and in December and January he used to collect it, for in those countries the dewfall is abundant. And having gathered together for himself water in sponge[s] from time to time they were squeezed out by him, and the water which he had collected from the dew ran out, and this he was in the habit of doing during the fifteen years which he dwelt there. Now this man, having for much time been deprived of doctrine (or teaching), and of the meetings with the holy fathers, and of the intercourse of edifying speech, and especially of participation in the Mysteries, went as wholly astray from the straight path as if he had said, “The matters of service, that is to say, the Holy Mysteries, are nothing at all.” And from this state he senselessly departed and went on until at length he went into Egypt and delivered himself over to prodigal and riotous living, and he never more spake a word of excellence unto any man. And his madness came upon Ptolemy also because of the senseless and exalted opinion which he held of himself, even as it is written, “Those who are not under the law of the governors shall fall like leaves.”

​Chapter XXV: Of Abraham The Egyptian
AND there was also a certain man whose name was Abraham, and he kept a rule of life of the sternest hardness in the desert; and he was hurt in his understanding by reason of the vain opinion which he held concerning himself. One day he came to the church and strove with the elders, saying, “I have been made an elder by Christ during the past night, and ye must associate me in the ministrations of the priesthood.” And when the fathers had come to a decision concerning him, and had brought him out of the desert, they laid a light rule of life upon him, and in this manner they cured him of his arrogance, and brought him to the state of being sensible of his feebleness, and of having knowledge of his infirmity, through which the devils made a mock of him.

​Chapter iij. The History of the Virgin Potamiaena
THERE was a certain young virgin [called Potamiaena] who was exceedingly beautiful and she was a Christian; she was the handmaiden of a certain worldly man who was given over to a life of pleasure, and she lived in very great luxury, and her master flattered her greatly, wishing to destroy her. And being unable to bring her into subjection to his will, he at length was seized with madness, and he became furiously angry with her and delivered her over to a certain prefect who lived at that time in Alexandria (i.e., Basilides), saying, “She is a Christian, and she revileth the government, and uttereth blasphemies against the Emperor.” And he promised to give him much money saying, “If she can be persuaded to do my will, keep her for me without disgrace and punishment, but if she persisteth in her obstinacy of heart, punish her with every kind of torture thou pleasest, and let her not remain alive to laugh at me and at my luxurious way of life.” And when they brought the valiant woman before the throne of the judges, she was greatly moved, but she was not persuaded; and the prefect tortured the body of the virgin of Christ with many different kinds of tortures. Then again after these things he thought out a crafty plan, and invented a method of punishment by torture which was as follows. He commanded them to bring a huge cauldron which was full of pitch, and to light a fierce fire under it, and when the pitch was melted and was boiling, the judge cried to her, saying, “Go thou and submit thyself to the will of thy lord, and know thou if thou doest not this thing thou shalt straightway fall into this cauldron.” Now when she heard this, she sealed her soul, and answered and said, “Thou judgest with iniquity, O judge, for thou commandest me to become subject unto fornication. I am the handmaiden of Christ, and it is meet that I should stand before ​His throne without blemish.” And when the judge heard this, he was straightway greatly troubled and filled with wrath, and he commanded them to bring her and to cast her into the cauldron. Then the virgin said unto him, “I adjure thee, by the head of the Emperor, if thou condemnest me to this thing of thine own self, to command them to put me into the cauldron little by little, without stripping my apparel from me, so that thou mayest know the patient endurance which I have through Christ for the sake of my purity.” And as they were dipping her little by little into the cauldron, for a very short space of time, immediately the pitch reached her neck it became cold; thus she delivered her soul unto God, and she was crowned with a good martyrdom. And a great congregation of holy men and women were made perfect (i.e., they suffered martyrdom) at that time in the church of Alexandria, and they became worthy of that land which the meek inherit. [Potamiaena was martyred, with her mother Marcella, in the reign of Septimius Severus.]

# The Sermon on the Mount (Bossuet)/Day 47

Forty-seventh Day
The wonderful effects and invincible strength of Jesus Christ's doctrine.—Matt. vii. 28, 29.
THINK over this teaching of Our Lord’s. It is so beautiful and so solid that it calls forth admiration from the whole world. For who could help admiring its purity, grandeur and practicalness? It has converted- the world; it has peopled deserts 5 it has caused thousands of martyrs — of every condition, age and sex — to shed their life-blood. It has made riches and pleasures contemptible, and caused the honours of this world to lose their glory. Men, by its means, have become angels, and have gone so far as to put God Himself before them as their model. Who, then, can fail to admire this lovely and ravishing doctrine?
But admiring is not enough. ‘ Jesus teaches as having power ’: everything must give way ​before His teaching; all human pride must bow the head.
May God preserve you from a timid teacher, who dares not tell you plain truths, or who flatters your defects like the Scribes and Pharisees, who thought only of pleasing the people and not of correcting them! Beg of God to give you a teacher who will speak powerfully and with effect, and not spare your vices: — for on this your conversion depends.
Amen, Amen.
# The Sermon on the Mount (Bossuet)/Day 7

Seventh Day
SIXTH BEATITUDE
To be clean of heart.—Matt. v. 8.
BLESSED are the clean of heart.’ Who can tell the beauty of a pure heart? A spotless mirror — a piece of perfectly refined gold — a diamond of the purest water — an absolutely clear fountain — none of them equal the beauty and the cleanness of a pure heart. To produce such a heart, every bit of dirt must be removed: — and especially all that comes from the pleasures of sense, for one drop from the cup of these pleasures will disturb this beautiful fountain. How lovely, how truly ravishing even, is the untroubled stream of an unspotted heart! God takes pleasure in seeing Himself reflected in it, as in a highly-polished glass, in all His beauty; and, piercing it with His rays, He makes the mirror itself appear all resplendent as a sun. God’s own purity then becomes united to that ​which He Himself has worked in us; and our illuminated sight beholds Him shining within our souls and lighting them up with an everlasting radiance. 'Blessed,' therefore, ' are the clean of heart, for they shall see God.'
Let us love chastity above all other virtues, for it is she who makes the heart pure. In every object that attracts our love let us see a danger of sullying our hearts, or of plunging them deeper in the very mire whence we should make every effort to snatch them.
'Blessed is the pure in heart, for he shall see God.’ The last two words alone are enough for the soul to feed upon for a whole day. 'He shall see God ’: — that is, he shall behold all charity, all beauty, all perfection; goodness itself — the source of all goodness — all goodness in one, as He Himself has declared. 'I will show thee all good,’ He said to Moses, when He talked with him in the tabernacle. To see so perfect an object, and to love it, are one and the same thing. The man who is pure in heart, then, will behold and love; but he will also be loved; he will sing the praises of God whom he is to see and love for ever. He will be filled with the abundance of his dwelling-place, and intoxicated ​with the torrent of his delights. Happy being! But this can only be for the pure in heart, and hence he is blessed. Let him, then, who is not pure hasten to come forth from the slough wherein he lies wallowing; let him wash off the filthy stains that degrade and disfigure him!

* ↑ Exod. xxxiii. 19.

Ninth Day
EIGHTH AND LAST BEATITUDE
To suffer for Justice.—Matt. v. 10.
BLESSED are they that suffer persecution for Justice’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.’ All those who suffer for having done right — for having set a good example — for having obeyed with simplicity — or for having put people who live irregularly to shame, so that the blame of causing others to be justly reproved is laid upon them, suffer persecution for Justice’ sake. Those also who daily carry their cross, and constantly persecute their own evil desires, suffer persecution for Justice’ sake.
This is the last and most perfect of all the Beatitudes, because it is the one that most vividly reproduces the character of the Son of God Himself.
Hence it is that He dwells on this one. Not content with having spoken of it like the rest, ​He proceeds to comment on it, saying, 'Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake; be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you ’: — and not only the prophets, but the Messias Himself.
Thus we are brought back to the beginning and to the reward shown forth in the first Beatitude. Poverty and persecution for Justice sake equally merit the Kingdom of Heaven.
# The Sermon on the Mount (Bossuet)/Day 46

Forty-sixth Day
What true virtue consists in.—Matt. vii. 21; xxi. 28-32.
JESUS CHRIST has just spoken of trees without fruit; and, of these, one especially bad kind should be noted. This is the Christian who bears the appearance of goodness, whilst in reality he is not good at all. Such a man talks much and does nothing. ' Lord, Lord! ' he says; but he had much better not so often name the Lord, and do what He commands.
There are some people who object to nothing: who will undertake whatever you may suggest to them. Yes, I will do and say what you like; I will pray; I will help in everything:—but when it comes to putting all this into practice, nothing can be got out of them. The Jews were of those who make many professions; and Jesus said to them: — ' The publicans and harlots shall go into the Kingdom of God before you': — by ​which He meant that their purely external piety made them entertain a false opinion of their own virtue; whilst those who are openly wicked often become ashamed of themselves, and are converted at last more readily than the outwardly righteous.
Consider those two young men in the Parable. One of them is ashamed to disobey his Father openly by saying ' I will not ’; yet after having said ' I go, sir,’ he followed his own inclination 'and he went not.’ The other said openly ' I will not'; but afterwards, ‘being moved with repentance, he went.’ One had the presumption to wish to appear virtuous, but was so in words only: hence he fell. The other became horrified at his own boldness, and repented.
We should, therefore, neither pay too much attention to the presumptuous assertions of those who promise everything, nor despair of those who seem to give up everything. Great offences more often lead to repentance than do faults that are hidden under a sham piety, which consists in nothing but words; and whose professors think they have done all when they have praised the Law and the practice of virtue, like the Jews.
Bestir yourself, O Christian Soul! Have ​you promised anything? No matter how great a thing it may be, do more than you promised. Have you refused to do something? Be ashamed of your refusal, and do whatever you said you could not or would not undertake.
He who both listens and performs — in whom virtue becomes a habit by force of practice — is 'the wise man who built his house upon a rock.' Temptations may come — disease may enfeeble — every sort of trial may afflict that soul; but it will not succumb. Those, on the contrary, who only listen — who take delight in the beauty or truth of the Sacred Word, without putting it into practice, or doing so but imperfectly — 'have built their house upon the sand,’ and it will fall upon the first occasion, 'and great ’ will be ' the fall thereof.’
# The Sermon on the Mount (Bossuet)/Day 6

Sixth Day
FIFTH BEATITUDE
To be merciful.—Matt. v. 7.
BLESSED are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.' The most beautiful fruit of love is to be touched by the ills of others. ‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive,' said Jesus Christ. This saying had not been recorded by the Evangelists, but God chose St Paul to have the honour of handing it down to us. ‘Remember,' said that Apostle, ‘the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said, 'It is a more blessed thing to give rather than to receive.”' Blessed, then, are those who both give and really like giving better than receiving. Blessed, furthermore, is he who invites to his feast, not the rich who can return his hospitality, but the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind. ‘Then,' said our Saviour, ' thou shalt be blessed, because they ​have not wherewith to make thee recompense, for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.’ Blessed, therefore, are the merciful, who give without hope of receiving anything from those towards whom they show mercy, for they themselves shall obtain unending mercy from God.
We must then have mercy on all we may see in suffering: on the sick and the afflicted: — we must soothe them by words of comfort and wise counsel if we have nothing else to give: — help them to bear their troubles, and if possible share these with them.
This is the most beautiful of all offerings. 'I will have mercy and not sacrifice,’ as He Himself has said.
