Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m4s

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: St. Angela Merici, St. Francis
Caracciolo, St. Boniface of Mainz (Bishop and Martyr, Apostle of Germany --
distinct from the earlier, unrelated St. Boniface Martyr already on May 14),
St. Norbert, St. Margaret of Scotland, and St. Aloysius Gonzaga.

Two of the new fixed dates (June 1, June 4) fall on dates used by two
day-label tests pinned to specific Trinity Sunday years; moved those to
years/dates free of the new entries, with explanatory comments.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Margaret, Queen and Widow (June 10).
# Sourced directly from web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/06-10.txt,
# English/Sancti/06-10.txt. Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one
# continuous vita. (Note: the source's own Lectio94 gives a different
# death date, Nov. 16, than Lectio6's June 11 -- an inconsistency
# already present in the reference engine's own text, not introduced
# here; Lectio4-6 is the fuller, internally-consistent account and is
# what's transcribed.) No Lectio7-9 in her own file (her `[Rule]` is
# `vide C7a`) -- defers to the Common's own Nocturn 3, not transcribed
# here.

Margarita, Scotórum regína, paterno Angliæ regum, materno Cæsárum sánguine
claríssima, illustrior adhuc fuit christiana virtúte. Hæc in Hungária nata, ubi
pater tunc témporis exsulabat, post exactam summa cum pietáte puerílem
ætátem, una cum genitore, qui a sancto Eduárdo patruo, Anglórum rege, ad
paterni regni fastigium vocabátur, in Angliam venit. Mox, alternante paréntum
fortuna, ex Angliæ littore solvens, vi tempestátis expulsa, seu verius divinæ
providéntiæ consílio deducta est in oram marítimam Scotiæ. Ibi cum ex matris
imperio Malchólmo tertio Scotórum regi, egregiis ejus dótibus capto,
nupsísset, sanctimóniæ ac pietátis opéribus, trigínta quibus regnávit annis,
toti regno mirifice prófuit.
Inter regales delicias corpus afflictatiónibus ac vigiliis mácerans, magnam
noctis partem piis precatiónibus extrahebat. Præter alia jejunia, quæ
idéntidem usurpabat, íntegros quadragínta dies ante Natalícia festa tanta cum
severitáte jejunare consuevit, ut ne in gravíssimis quidem dolóribus
intermiserit. Divino cultui addictíssima, templa pluria et cœnobia partim ex
íntegro excitávit, partim resarcívit, et sacra supelléctili ac largo censu
ditávit. Regem cónjugem ad meliórem frugem et ad simília suis exercitatiónibus
ópera saluberrimo exemplo traduxit, liberosque omnes tam sancte et féliciter
educávit, ut eórum plerique, quemádmodum et Agatha mater, et Christina soror,
sanctíssimum vitæ genus ampléxi sint. Universi demum regni felicitáti
cónsulens, a vitiis ómnibus, quæ furtim irrepserant, pópulos expurgávit,
eisque mores christiana pietáte dignos restituit.
Nihil tamen æque in illa mirábile fuit ac flagrantíssima caritas erga
próximos, præsertim egénos, quorum numerosis grégibus non modo stipem áffatim
suppeditare, verum étiam trecentis quotídie materna benignitate dapes
præbére, flexis genibus in morem ancíllæ ministrare, regiis mánibus pedes
ablúere, et pressis étiam ósculis úlcera fovére, solemne hábuit. His porro
aliisque piis sumptibus non regias tantum vestes et preiosa monília distraxit,
sed ipsum non semel exhausit ærárium. Tolerátis demum ad patiéntiæ miraculum
acerbíssimis dolóribus, ánimam semestri corporis ægrotatióne purgatam Auctori
suo, sextodecimo Kalendas Decembris, réddidit. Quo témporis momento fácies
ejus, diuturni morbi macie ac pallore fœdata, insólita quadam venustáte
reflóruit. Miris étiam post mortem prodigiis clara, et Clementis décimi
auctoritate in Scotiæ patronam accepta, ubíque terrárum religiosíssime
cólitur.

Margaret, Queen of Scots, was most noble by birth, uniting in herself, from her
father the blood of the Kings of England and from her mother the blood of the
Caesars, but her greatest nobleness was in her brave Christian life. She was
born in Hungary, where her father was then an exile, and had passed a
religious childhood, when her uncle Edward, the holy King of England, recalled
him to his own royal home, and she came to England with him. A few years
after, upon the ruin of her family, she was escaping from England by sea, when
the violence of the weather, or, to speak more truly, the Providence of God,
caused that the ship should take refuge upon the coast of Scotland. There her
extraordinary graces of mind and body so attracted King Malcolm III., that by
the advice of his mother, he took her to wife, and of Scotland she deserved
exceedingly well for the thirty years of her reign, by the holiness of her
life and the abundance of her works of mercy.
In the midst of kingly dainties, she afflicted her body with hardships and
watching, using to spend great part of the night in earnest prayer. Besides
other fasts which she imposed upon herself, it was her custom to observe one of
forty days before Christmas, concerning which fast she was so rigid, that she
would not relax it even under sharp suffering. She took great delight in the
public worship of God, and founded or renewed a great number of Churches and
convents, which she enriched at great cost with sacred furniture. Her healthy
example drew the King her husband to habits of sobriety, and to imitate her in
her good works. To all her children she had the happiness of giving a godly
education, and several of them, like her mother Agatha and her sister
Christina, led notable holy lives. The happiness of the whole kingdom was the
object for which she constantly strove, and she successfully rooted out all the
vices which had stealthily crept in, and established among the people a
standard of living worthy of Christians.
The most remarkable feature of her life was the tenderness of her charity
toward her neighbour, especially the needy. Of these she would not only order
whole flocks to be relieved, but was accustomed to give dinner to three hundred
of them every day, treating them with the tenderness of a mother, and waiting
upon them on her knees like a maidservant. She held it one of the privileges of
her rank to wash their feet with her own Royal hands, and to dress their
sores, which latter she would even kiss. To meet the expenses of her charities
she sold not only her queenly raiment and her precious jewels, but more than
once exhausted her funds entirely. Purified by grievous suffering, which she
bore with marvelous patience during an illness of six months, she resigned her
soul into the hands of Him Who had created it. At the moment of death, the
bystanders saw her poor worn face, pale and disfigured by continual suffering,
flush again with a beauty to which it had long been unused. After her death she
became illustrious on account of great signs and wonders. With the approval of
Clement X., she was chosen Patroness of Scotland, and her memory is held in
profound reverence throughout the whole earth.
