From 10c10fdaf47f9483047168629100a681a1f847ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 05:38:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add April Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints All 9 of April's SanctiM-track saints authored. Found a new wrinkle: St. Catherine of Siena and St. Peter Martyr sit on swapped dates between this app's calendar and the general Tridentine one (Apr 29/30 each way), not just an off-by-a-few-days shift like earlier cases. Also hit a reference-engine data bug on St. George (English prose filed under a Latin heading) and another genuinely Monastic-only saint (St. Robert of Molesme) needing an original translation. --- TODO.md | 19 ++- .../ss-cletus-and-marcellinus.yml | 92 +++++++++++++++ .../ss-tiburtius-valerian-and-maximus.yml | 46 ++++++++ .../st-catherine-of-siena.yml | 98 ++++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-george.yml | 41 +++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-leo-i.yml | 84 ++++++++++++++ src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-mark.yml | 45 ++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-peter-martyr.yml | 75 ++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-robert.yml | 108 ++++++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-vitalis.yml | 41 +++++++ 10 files changed, 647 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-cletus-and-marcellinus.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-tiburtius-valerian-and-maximus.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-catherine-of-siena.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-george.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-leo-i.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-mark.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-peter-martyr.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-robert.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-vitalis.yml diff --git a/TODO.md b/TODO.md index de98261..e6dae41 100644 --- a/TODO.md +++ b/TODO.md @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ across every hour and content type in this app. saints (Tridentine/Divino Afflatu-sourced, no Monastic 1617 track) are now done — see "Pre-1955 saints' Matins readings" below.

She took the habit + of the Third Order of St. Dominic. Her fasts were most severe, and the austerity of her + life wonderful. It was discovered that on some occasions she took no food at all from Ash + Wednesday till Ascension Day, receiving all needful strength by taking the Holy Communion. + She was engaged oftentimes in a wrestling with devils, and was sorely tried by them with + diverse assaults: she was consumed by fevers, and suffered likewise from other diseases. + Great and holy was the name of Katharine, and sick folk, and such as were vexed with evil + spirits, were brought to her from all quarters. Through the Name of Christ, she had + command over sickness and fever, and forced the foul spirits to leave the bodies of the + tormented. + + + While she dwelt at Pisa, on a certain Lord's Day, after she had received the Living Bread + Which came down from heaven, she was in the spirit; and saw the Lord nailed to the Cross + advancing towards her. There was a great light round about Him, and five rays of light + streaming from the five marks of the Wounds in His Feet, and Hands, and Side, which smote + her upon the five corresponding places in her body. When Katharine perceived this vision, + she besought the Lord that no marks might become manifest upon her flesh, and straightway + the five beams of light changed from the colour of blood into that of gold, and touched in + the form of pure light her feet, and hands, and side. At this moment the agony which she + felt was so piercing, that she believed that if God had not lessened it, she would have + died. Thus the Lord in His great love for her, gave her this great grace, in a new and + twofold manner, namely, that she felt all the pain of the wounds, but without there being + any bloody marks to meet the gaze of men. This was the account given by the handmaiden of + God to her Confessor, Raymund, and it is for this reason that when the godly wishes of the + faithful lead them to make pictures of the blessed Katharine, they paint her with golden + rays of light proceeding from those five places in her body which correspond to the five + places wherein our Lord was wounded by the nails and spear. + + + The learning which Katharine had was not acquired but inspired. She answered Professors + of Divinity upon the very hardest questions concerning God. No one was ever in her company + without going away better. She healed many hatreds, and quieted the most deadly feuds. To + make peace for the Florentines, who had quarrelled with the Church, and were under an + Ecclesiastical Interdict, she travelled to Avignon to see the Chief Pontiff Gregory XI. To + him she showed that she had had revealed to her from heaven his secret purpose of going + back to Rome, which had been known only to God and himself. It was at her persuasion, as + well as by his own judgment, that the Pope did in the end return to his own See. She was + much respected by this Gregory, as well as by his successor Urban VI, who even employed + her in their embassies. The Bridegroom took her home when she was about thirty-three years + old, after she had given almost countless proofs of extraordinary Christian graces, and + manifestly displayed the gifts of Prophecy and miracles.

Thence he was hurrying to Rome, on fire with anger, and his + troops were already preparing to cross the Po, at the place where that river is joined by + the Mincio, when he was met by Leo, moved with compassion at the thought of the ruin which + hung over Italy. By his God-given eloquence, Attila was persuaded to turn back, and when he + was afterwards asked by his servants why, contrary to his custom, he had so meekly yielded + to the entreaties of the Bishop of Rome, he answered that he had been alarmed by a figure + dressed like a Priest, which had appeared at the side of Leo while he was speaking, holding + a drawn sword, and had made as though to kill the king unless he consented. And so he + returned into Pannonia. + + + Leo went back to Rome, where he was received with rejoicing by all men. A while later, + Genseric entered the city, but Leo, by the power of his eloquence and the authority of his + holy life, persuaded him to abstain from fire, insult, and slaughter. When Leo beheld how + the Church was assailed by many heresies, and in dire trouble through the Nestorians and + Eutychians, to purify the same and establish her in the Catholic Faith, he called the + Council of Chalcedon, where, in an assembly of six hundred and thirty Bishops, Nestorius + was again condemned, along with Eutyches and Dioscorus; the decrees of which Council were + confirmed by the authority of Leo. + + + After these matters, this holy Pope set himself to the restoration and building of + Churches. By his advice that godly woman Demetria built the Church of St. Stephen upon + her farm on the Latin Road, at the third milestone from the city. He himself built another + Church upon the Appian Way, which Church is called that of St. Cornelius. He restored + likewise many other Churches, and the holy vessels used therein. He built Clergy-houses at + the three Basilicas of Peter, Paul, and Constantine. He built a monastery hard by the + Basilica of St. Peter. He appointed for the graves of the Apostles certain keepers, whom + he called the Chamberlains of the said Apostles. He ordained that in the action of the + Mystery should be uttered the words An holy sacrifice, an offering without spot. He + ordered that no nun should have the covering of her head blessed until she had made trial + of her virginity for forty years. After doing all these and other illustrious works, and + after he had written much that is both godly and easy to be understood, he fell asleep in + the Lord on the eleventh day of April. He held the Papal See for twenty years, one month, + and thirteen days. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-mark.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-mark.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6604644 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-mark.yml @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Mark, Evangelist (Apr 25) — +# SanctiM/04-25.txt's Lectio5-6 resolve back to `@Sancti/04-25:Lectio4-5` +# (its other lessons fall back to Common of an Evangelist), 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/04-25.txt, English/Sancti/04-25.txt. +# Lectio4-5 combined into one reading, one continuous excerpt from St. +# Jerome.

At the age of eleven + he took the religious habit at the monastery of Saint-Pierre-de-Cella. There, devoting + himself to fasting and prayer by night and by day, he rendered service pleasing to God, + subjecting the flesh to the spirit, and the spirit to the Creator. By God's own disposing + he was chosen Prior by the monks of that monastery, and afterwards co-opted Abbot by + those of Tonnerre. + + + Afterwards he was asked by certain hermits to take up the same office over them; whose + wishes he would have granted, had not the monks of Tonnerre protested. Sending back their + messengers, he gave them sure hope that he would come to them as soon as the Lord should + grant him the means. Later, taking two companions with him, he went to the forest called + Molesme, where, labouring with their own hands, they built dwellings and an oratory out + of the branches of trees, and there offered to the Lord saving sacrifices and the + sacrifice of a contrite heart. But as he greatly desired that, wherever servants of God + were to be found, he himself might also be found among them, he came to the place called + Aux, and being devoutly received by those monks, was shortly afterwards chosen their + Abbot. + + + The monks of Molesme, grieved at his withdrawal, went to the Supreme Pontiff; and, + relying on his authority, recalled the man of God to Molesme. Meanwhile certain of the + brethren — Alberic, Stephen, and two others — desiring the eremitical life, set out for + the place called Vivicus; but being driven from there, they came to the forest called + Cîteaux, where, having built an Oratory in honour of the Blessed Mary, they persevered. + When blessed Robert heard of their holy manner of life, he took with him twenty-two monks + and went to join them, that he might share in and assist their holy purpose; and, being + received by them with the greatest devotion, he governed them for a time with fatherly + solicitude. + + + The monks of Molesme, taking it ill to be deprived of so great a shepherd, went again to + the Supreme Pontiff, that he might compel blessed Robert to return to Molesme. The + Pontiff, granting their request, wrote to the Bishop of Châlons that, another Abbot + having been ordained for the Cistercians, he should compel Robert to return to Molesme. + Having therefore settled what pertained to the observance according to the Rule of St. + Benedict, he set Alberic over them in his own place as Abbot, and upon his death Stephen + succeeded him. And so blessed Robert, having been the founder of that new planting, while + holding the government of both monasteries — that of Molesme, and that of Cîteaux — + returned a second time to Molesme.
