IN SANCTORVM FAVSTI, IANVARII ET MARTIALIS
'IN HONOUR OF FAUSTUS, IANUARIUS, AND MARTIALIS'
The first three strophes encourage the people to praise the Trinity and give thanks for the martyrdom of Faustus, Ianuarius, and Martialis. The martyrs are tortured by fire and cruelly blinded (strophes 4–5; cf. Martyrdom of Faustus, Ianuarius and Martialis 4 and 7) but their injuries are miraculously healed (strophe 6). This provokes the anger of the ruler who condemned them (strophe 7). The martyrs patiently suffer all torments in hope of the reward from God and later are welcomed in heaven by the angels who put crowns on their heads (strophe 8–9).
(10) Adestote, sancti Dei, supplicanti populo
et petentibus prebete quesitum remedium,
30 regnum ut participentur uestro in consortio.
'(10) Give heed, o saints of God, to the begging people and provide the requested remedy to those who ask, so that they can join you in the Kingdom.'
Text: Castro Sánchez 2010, 452-454. Translation and summary: M. Szada.
