Continues the full-year sanctoral import: the Guardian Angels (Duplex majus, full proper content), St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Bruno, St. Bridget of Sweden, St. Francis Borgia, the Maternity of the BVM (Duplex II Classis, instituted 1931 for the 1500th anniversary of the Council of Ephesus, full proper content), St. Edward the Confessor, St. Teresa of Avila (distinct from St. Thérèse of Lisieux -- two different Carmelite saints sharing a name), St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Peter of Alcantara, St. John Cantius, and St. Raphael the Archangel (own full proper content, matching st-gabriel-archangel.yml's established pattern for a Sancti file that redirects wholesale to another date's file but still carries its own real content). St. Raphael's new fixed day (Oct 24, Duplex majus) collided with the "clean, empty Saturday" fixture used by three tests for Marian Saturday/Lauds-psalmody-override behavior; moved all three to 2026-07-04, verified genuinely free of any sanctoral entry (not even a commemorated Simplex).

Margarita Maria Alacóque, in pago diœcesis Augustodunénsis,
|
||||
honesto genere nata, jam inde a teneris annis futuræ
|
||||
sanctitátis indícia præbuit. In Deiparam Vírginem et in
|
||||
augustum Eucharistiæ sacraméntum amóre flagrans, adolescentula
|
||||
Deo virginitátem devovit, id exoptans unice ut ad christianas
|
||||
virtútes vitam compóneret. In deliciis habebat prolixas preces
|
||||
rerumque cæléstium contemplatiónem, sui contemptum, patiéntiam
|
||||
in adversis, corporis afflictatiónem, caritátem in próximos,
|
||||
præsertim egénos; summoque studio nitebátur ut sanctíssima
|
||||
divini Redemptoris exempla pro viribus referret.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ordinem Visitatiónis ingressa, statim religiosæ vitæ fulgóre
|
||||
nitére cœpit. Altioris dono oratiónis a Deo est decorata,
|
||||
aliisque gratiæ munéribus et crebris visiónibus. Harum
|
||||
celeberrima fuit cum ante Eucharistiam precanti Jesus
|
||||
semetípsum conspiciéndum obtulit, et divinum Cor in aperto
|
||||
péctore flammis incensum ac spinis constrictum osténdit,
|
||||
præcepitque ut, ob talem caritátem et ad ingratórum hóminum
|
||||
injurias expiandas, illa publicum Cordi suo cultum, magnis
|
||||
propositis cæléstis thesáuri præmiis, instituéndum curaret.
|
||||
Cunctanti ex humilitate seque tantæ rei ímparem profiténti
|
||||
amantíssimus Salvátor addit ánimum, simulque exímia sanctitáte
|
||||
virum, Claudium de la Colombiere, ducem et adjutórem designat;
|
||||
eamque spe fovet illíus summæ utilitátis, quæ póstea e divini
|
||||
Cordis cultu in Ecclésiam dimanávit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ut jussa Redemptoris impleret Margarita omni diligéntia
|
||||
studebat. Nec tamen illi defuére molestiæ plures atque acres
|
||||
contumeliæ ab iis qui eam vano mentis errori obnoxiam esse
|
||||
dictitábant. Quæ ómnia æquo animo tulit, immo apponebat lucro,
|
||||
existimans se per oppróbria et dolóres hóstiam Deo gratam fore,
|
||||
et majora ad propositum suum auxília consecuturam. Religiosæ
|
||||
perfectiónis laude florens et per æternárum rerum
|
||||
contemplatiónem in dies síngulos cælésti sponso conjúnctior, ad
|
||||
eum evolávit, anno ætátis suæ quadragesimo tertio, reparátæ
|
||||
salútis millesimo sexcentésimo nonagesimo. Miraculis insignem
|
||||
Benedíctus décimus quintus Sanctis adscripsit; ejusque offícium
|
||||
Pius undecimus Pontifex maximus ad universam Ecclésiam
|
||||
extendit.

|

Margaret Mary Alacoque was born of a respectable family in a
|
||||
village in the diocese of Autun. From her earliest years she
|
||||
gave signs of holiness. Filled with a burning love of the
|
||||
Virgin Mother of God, and of the august mystery of the
|
||||
Eucharist, while still a young girl she dedicated her
|
||||
virginity to God. Above all else she strove to realize in her
|
||||
life the performance of Christian virtues. She delighted to
|
||||
spend continuous hours in prayers and in meditation upon the
|
||||
things of heaven. She was humble, and patient in adversity. She
|
||||
practised bodily penance. She was charitable towards her
|
||||
neighbours, especially the poor. By every means within her
|
||||
power she strove diligently to imitate the most holy example
|
||||
left by our divine Redeemer.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Margaret entered the Order of the Visitation. There her life
|
||||
became immediately a shining example to others. God endowed
|
||||
her highly with the gift of prayer. He gave her other favours,
|
||||
such as frequent visitations. The most famous of these was
|
||||
that one when Jesus appeared to her as she knelt in prayer
|
||||
before the Blessed Sacrament. Opening his breast, He revealed
|
||||
his divine Heart glowing with flames and encircled with a
|
||||
crown of thorns. He bade her in return for his excessive love
|
||||
and in atonement for the insults of ungrateful men, to seek to
|
||||
have established public adoration of his Heart. This devotion
|
||||
he promised to enrich with treasures of heavenly grace. When,
|
||||
out of humility, she hesitated to undertake so great a task,
|
||||
the loving Saviour encouraged her. At the same time he pointed
|
||||
out Claude de la Colombiere, a man of great holiness, as one
|
||||
who could guide and help her. Our Lord also comforted her with
|
||||
the assurance that very great blessings would accrue
|
||||
afterwards to the Church from the worship of his divine Heart.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Margaret strove ardently to fulfill the Redeemer's command.
|
||||
Vexations, even bitter insults, were her portion from some who
|
||||
maintained that she was subject to mental aberrations. She not
|
||||
only bore these sufferings patiently, she even profited by
|
||||
them, offering herself in anguish and reproach as a victim
|
||||
acceptable to God, bearing all things as a more sure means of
|
||||
accomplishing her purpose. Renowned for her religious
|
||||
perfection, becoming each day more closely united with her
|
||||
divine spouse by contemplation of celestial things, she took
|
||||
flight to him in the forty-third year of her age, and in the
|
||||
year of restored salvation 1690. She became famous for
|
||||
miracles. Benedict XV added her to the list of the saints;
|
||||
Pius XI extended her office to the universal Church.

Nulla alia est vera sciéntia, nisi ea quæ a Spíritu Sancto
|
||||
datur, sed hæc humílibus tantummodo tribúitur. Nonne magnos
|
||||
vídimus theólogos qui mira dixérunt de virtútibus, sed ut eas
|
||||
non exercerent? E contra complures vídimus feminas, quæ de
|
||||
virtútibus dissérere nesciébant, sed virtútum ópera digne
|
||||
nóverant adimplére. Eas enim Spíritus Sanctus sapiéntes
|
||||
effécit, quia et timórem Dómini et pietátem et humilitátem
|
||||
habebant.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Dóminus noster, magnus et præclaríssimus ómnium nostrárum
|
||||
infirmitátum medicus, antequam in hunc mundum veníret, per
|
||||
prophétas suos palam nuntiáverat: Quod confractum fúerit
|
||||
alligábo, et quod infirmum fúerit consolidábo. Et deínde suo
|
||||
ipse ore clamávit dicens: Veníte ad me omnes qui laborátis et
|
||||
oneráti estis, et ego reficiam vos. Quid ígitur mirum si ipsum
|
||||
ab ægrotis, a peccatóribus et publicanis circúmdatum cernimus?
|
||||
Nonne médici glória est ab ægrotis exquiri?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fert ille nostras misérias et jas nobilitat, apponit misériam
|
||||
Cordi suo, osténdit latus. Sed eum redamémus oportet, alioquin
|
||||
qui præ amóre osténdit vulnera, semel osténdet præ ira et
|
||||
indignatióne. Fac, o bone Jesu, ut pacem, quam offers,
|
||||
accipiámus, videamúsque vulnera tua, ut quandóquidem manent
|
||||
fides, spes, caritas, fide radicati, spe gaudéntes et caritate
|
||||
fervéntes, exspectémus beátam spem et advéntum tuum, ita ut in
|
||||
illo Te, Agnum ad déxteram non leónem ad sinistram videámus; ac
|
||||
pro fide visiónem, pro spe possessiónem et pro caritate
|
||||
imperfécta perféctam habeámus, in qua gaudébimus in sæcula
|
||||
sæculórum. Amen.

There is no other true knowledge given but that which is given
|
||||
by the Holy Ghost. And this is granted to the humble only.
|
||||
Have we not known great theologians who spake marvellously of
|
||||
the virtues but did not practice them? Have we not seen, on
|
||||
the contrary, many women who did not know how to discourse on
|
||||
the virtues, practice the works of virtue worthily? The Holy
|
||||
Spirit hath made these wise because they had fear of the Lord,
|
||||
piety and humility.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Our Lord is the great and excellent physician of all our
|
||||
infirmities. Before he came into the world he announced openly
|
||||
to his prophets, I will bind up that which was broken, and I
|
||||
will strengthen that which is weak. Finally with his own lips
|
||||
he invited us, saying, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
|
||||
burdened, and I will give you rest. What wonder is it, then, if
|
||||
we see him surrounded by the sick, by sinners, and by
|
||||
publicans. Is it not the glory of the physician to be sought
|
||||
out by the sick?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Lord beareth our miseries and ennobleth them. He layeth our
|
||||
miseries to his Heart; he sheweth his side. It is meet then,
|
||||
that we should make some return to him, lest he who now
|
||||
sheweth us his wounds out of love, may one day shew them with
|
||||
wrath and indignation. Grant, O good Jesu, that we may receive
|
||||
the peace which thou dost offer and let us see thy wounds.
|
||||
Since there remain faith, hope and charity, grant that, rooted
|
||||
in faith, rejoicing in hope, glowing in charity, we may await
|
||||
thy coming in the blessed expectation that we may see thee as
|
||||
the Lamb upon the right, and not as the lion on the left; and,
|
||||
for faith, may we have vision, and for hope, possession, and
|
||||
for imperfect charity, perfect charity, in which we may
|
||||
rejoice for ever and ever. Amen.
