Add January Matins readings for SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m5s

Starts the bulk-content pass complementary to the pre-1955 saints pass:
11 of January's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (2 left unsourced —
their Nocturn 2/3 content is entirely octave homiletic material, no
proper vita text in either track). Most SanctiM files turn out to be
thin rule overrides pointing back at the same Sancti/ text; only
St. Maurus (Monastic-only, no Sancti file) needed direct SanctiM
sourcing, with an original translation for its missing English source.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Felix of Nola, Priest and Confessor
# (Jan 14, sharing the date with St. Hilary — see st-hilary-of-poitiers.yml).
# No SanctiM/01-14cc*.txt (only the plain SanctiM/01-14.txt exists, and
# that one bases on Sancti/01-14 i.e. Hilary, not Felix) — same
# "check every suffix variant, the shared plain file isn't necessarily
# yours" wrinkle as the pre-1955 pass (memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints).
# Felix's own content survives only at the suffixed Tridentine file:
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/01-14cc.txt, English/Sancti/01-14cc.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account, no
# responsory given in the source.

Felix Nolanus presbyter, cum in idola vehementius inveherétur, ab infidelibus varie
vexatus, in carcerem conjícitur. Unde ab Angelo nocte edúctus, quærere jussus est
Maximianum Nolæ episcopum: qui cum senio confectus desperáret se ferre posse supplícia
persequéntium, se abdíderat in silvam. Quo cum Felix Deo duce pervenísset, sanctum
episcopum humi jacéntem pene mortuum videt; quem recreátum ac sublátum in humeros, apud
fidélem víduam reficiéndum curávit. Sed cum is íterum idolórum cultores impietátis
argúeret, facto in ipsum ímpetu, fúgiens in angusto duórum paríetum intervállo se
occultávit; qui áditus cum repénte araneárum telis pertextus visus esset, némini recentis
látebræ suspiciónem relíquit. Inde ígitur evádens Felix in ædibus piæ mulíeris tres menses
látuit. Cum vero Dei Ecclésia requiéscere cœpísset, Nolam rédiens, multisque ibi vitæ
exemplis, et doctrinæ præceptis, miraculisque ad Christi fidem conversis, constanter étiam
recusato ejus urbis episcopatu, obdormívit in Dómino, sepultúsque est prope Nolam in loco,
quem in Pincis appellábant.

Felix was a Priest of Nola, who on account of his fiery zeal against idolatry, suffered
much persecution from the heathens, and was cast into prison. From thence an angel
delivered him by night, and bade him go to Maximian, Bishop of Nola. This Bishop, enfeebled
by old age, had at length despaired of power to withstand the torments of the persecutors,
and had hidden himself in a wood. Thither came Felix, by the will of God, and found the
holy bishop lying half-dead upon the ground. He succoured him, and carried him upon his
shoulders to the house of an holy widow. On another occasion, Felix, having again provoked
the anger of the devil-worshippers, became an object of their pursuit, from which he hid
himself in a narrow place between two walls. Hardly had he entered, when some spiders wove
their webs across the entrance, which the enemy perceiving, concluded that no man had
entered, and passed by. After leaving this hiding-place, Felix lay for three months in the
house of an holy woman. After the Lord gave peace to His Church, the Saint returned to
Nola, where he turned many to Christ by his life, his preaching, and his miracles. He
steadily refused to accept the Bishopric, fell asleep in the Lord, and was buried at Nola
in the place called The Pines.
