# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for St. Matthew, Apostle, Evangelist
# (Sep 21) — SanctiM/09-21.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/09-21`)
# with no Nocturn 2/3 override, so this saint's own proper content is
# sourced from the Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint
# (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/09-21.txt, English/Sancti/09-21.txt.
#
# Nocturn 2: Lectio4-5 combined into one reading, one continuous vita
# — Lectio6 falls back to Common of an Evangelist, not proper text, so
# not authored here.
# Nocturn 3: Lectio7's Gospel citation (Matt 9:9-13) is a bare incipit
# ("Et réliqua") with no full pericope text given, so — per the
# pre-1955 pass's convention of not transcribing bare incipits — only
# the homily portion is authored (not marked isGospel), a single
# excerpt of St. Jerome's commentary. No responsory given for either
# reading.

        Matthǽus, qui et Levi, Apóstolus et Evangelísta, Caphárnai cum ad telónium sedéret, a
        Christo vocátus, statim secútus est ipsum; quem étiam cum réliquis discípulis convívio
        excépit. Post Christi resurrectiónem, ántequam in provínciam proficiscerétur, quæ ei
        ad prædicándum obtígerat, primus in Judǽa, propter eos qui ex circumcisióne
        credíderant, Evangélium Jesu Christi Hebráice scripsit. Mox in Æthiópiam proféctus,
        Evangélium prædicávit, ac prædicatiónem multis miráculis confirmávit.


        Illo ígitur in primis miráculo, quo regis fíliam a mórtuis excitávit, regem patrem et
        uxórem ejus cum univérsa província ad Christi fidem convértit. Rege mórtuo, Hírtacus,
        ejus succéssor, cum Iphigeníam, régiam fíliam, vellet sibi dari in matrimónium;
        Matthǽum, cujus ópera illa virginitátem Deo vóverat et in sancto propósito
        perseverábat, ad altáre mystérium celebrántem jussit occídi. Qui undécimo caléndas
        octóbris munus apostólicum martýrii glória cumulávit. Cujus corpus Salérnum
        translátum, ac póstmodum in ecclésia ejus nómine dedicáta, Gregório séptimo summo
        Pontífice, cónditum, ibídem magno hóminum concúrsu ac pietáte cólitur.

        It came to pass one day at Capernaum, that Christ went forth, and saw a publican, named
        Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom; and He said unto him: Follow Me. And he left
        all, rose up, and followed Him. And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house. This
        Levi is the Apostle and Evangelist Matthew. After that Christ was risen again from the
        dead, and while he was yet in Judea, before he set forth for that land which had fallen
        to the lot of his preaching, he wrote the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Hebrew tongue,
        for the sake of them of the circumcision who had believed. His was the first written of
        the four Gospels. Thereafter he went to Ethiopia, and there preached the Gospel,
        confirming his preaching with many miracles.


        Of his miracles, the most notable was that he raised the King's daughter from the dead,
        and thereby brought to believe in Christ the King her father, his wife, and all that
        region. After that the King was dead, Hirtacus, who came after him, was fain to take his
        daughter Iphigenia to wife, but by the exhortation of Matthew she had made vow of her
        maidenhood to God, and stood firm to that holy resolution, for which cause Hirtacus
        commanded to slay the Apostle at the Altar while he was performing the mystery. He
        crowned the dignity of the Apostleship with the glory of martyrdom upon the 21st day of
        September. His body had been brought to Salerno, where it was afterwards buried in a
        Church dedicated in his name during the papacy of Gregory VII, and there it is held in
        great worship and sought to by great gatherings of people.

        Céteri Evangelístæ, propter verecúndiam et honórem Matthǽi, noluérunt eum nómine
        appelláre vulgáto, sed dixérunt, Levi; dúplici quippe vocábulo fuit. Ipse autem
        Matthǽus (secúndum illud quod dícitur a Salomóne: Justus accusátor est sui in
        princípio sermónis; et in álio loco: Dic tu peccáta tua, ut justificéris) Matthǽum se
        et publicanum nóminat, ut osténdat legéntibus nullum debére salútem desperáre, si ad
        melióra convérsus sit, cum ipse de publicáno in Apóstolum sit repénte mutátus.

        The other Evangelists, out of tenderness towards the reputation and honour of Matthew,
        have abstained from speaking of him as a publican by his ordinary name, and have called
        him Levi. Both names were his. But Matthew himself, according to what Solomon saith: The
        just man is the first to accuse himself, and again, in another place: Declare thou thy
        sins that thou mayest be justified, doth plainly call himself Matthew the publican, to
        show unto his readers that none need be hopeless of salvation if he will but strive to do
        better, since he himself had been all of a sudden changed from a publican into an
        Apostle.
