Urgent request!

[Paul]

Grumpy has contacts in Paris? If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I've been looking for the Office of St. Joan of Arc - I have most of it, except II Vespers and the non-Eastertide Antiphons of Matins; if he knows someone with a Breviary with local feasts, I'd love to have copies of it (and can pay for copies and mailing).

My French missal shows only the Octave Day of St. John for 3 January (with a commemoration of the Holy Innocents). I would note that it was published in 1899 in Tours with the imprimatur of the local bishop so at the time it was probably proper to the diocese of Tours. I looked around the internet a bit but I didn't see a proper Mass for Ste Genevieve, although it's entirely possible that there is one appended to a Parisian Missal. (Sorry – don’t have one of those).

Not much of a help but page 514 of the Colbertine breviary has a semidouble Office of St. Genevieve for November 26

 

Also, this French breviary has an Office for January 3 (pg 498). But I think it is a diocesan and not a Roman one.

 

From the Roman Missal:

The Mass Dilexisti with the following Proper COLLECT

 

Pour down upon us, O Lord, that spirit of knowledge and love of Thee wherewith thou didst fill Thy handmaid Genevieve, that, sincerely serving Thee by an assiduous imitation of her we may please Thee by our faith and works. Through our Lord......

I have a contact in Paris (frère Alphonse-Marie), but he barely ever checks his e-mail inbox.

I left my Missal in France, but I recall that it contains propers for France and for Canada, so I shall be able to fulfil requests, but only on Saturday (when I return home).

From Martyrology:
At Paris, at the end of the Vth century, St. Genevieve, virgin.  
Consecrated to God at the age of seven by St. Germanus of Auxerre, she led a life of great mortification until her eightieth year.  By the radiance of her sanctity and by her charity she exercise a true spiritual maternity over the people of Paris, whom she inspired with courage at the approach of Atilla.  King Clovis admired her greatly. She was one of the first saints who were not martyrs, and a witness to the role offered to women by Christianity.  

COLLECT (for a Feast of a holy Virgin):  
Oremus.
Deus, qui nos annua beatae (Sancta Genevieve) Virginis tuae solemnitate laetificas, da quaesumus, ut quam veneramur officio, etiam piae covesationis sequamur exemplo.  Per Dominum nostroum Jesum Chrustum, Fillium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia saecula saeclorum.  R. Amen.

COLLECT
Let us pray,
O God, who makest us glad by the yearly festival of blessed Saint Genevieve, thy Virgin, grant that we, who honor her with sacred rites, may also follow the exampleof her good and holy life.  Through Jesus Christ thy Son, our Lord, who is God, living and reigning with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit.  
R. Amen.

Where'd you find the Collect? "Deus, qui nos annua" is from the Common of Several Martyrs, and occasionally used for Virgin Martyrs, but for Virgins, it's "Exaudi nos". I would assume that's some sort of local use?
