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.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Catherine of Siena, Virgin (Apr 29

# on this app's own calendar, sharing the date with St. Robert — see

# st-robert.yml) — an off-date sourcing case like St. Paul the Hermit
|

# in the pre-1955 pass (memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints): the general

# Apr 30 slot going to St. Peter Martyr — see st-peter-martyr.yml's own

# day (`@Sancti/04-30`) with no Nocturn 2/3 override, so this saint's

Catharina, virgo Senensis piis orta parentibus, beati Dominici habitum, quem sorores de
|
||||
Pœnitentia gestant, impetravit. Summa ejus fuit abstinentia, et admirabilis vitæ
|
||||
austeritas. Inventa est aliquando a die Cinerum usque ad Ascensionem Domini jejunium
|
||||
perduxisse, sola Eucharistiæ communione contenta. Luctabatur quam frequentissime cum
|
||||
dæmonibus, multisque illorum molestiis vexabatur, æstuabat febribus, nec aliorum morborum
|
||||
cruciatu carebat. Magnum et sanctum erat Catharinæ nomen, et undique ad eam ægroti et
|
||||
malignis vexati spiritibus deducebantur. Languoribus et febribus in Christi nomine
|
||||
imperabat, et dæmones cogebat ab obsessis abire corporibus.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Cum Pisis immoraretur die Dominico, refecta cibo cælesti, et in extasim rapta, vidit
|
||||
Dominum crucifixum magno cum lumine advenientem, et ex ejus vulnerum cicatricibus quinque
|
||||
radios ad quinque loca sui corporis descendentes; ideoque mysterium advertens, Dominum
|
||||
precata, ne cicatrices apparerent; continuo radii colorem sanguineum mutaverunt in
|
||||
splendidum, et in formam puræ lucis pervenerunt ad manus, pedes, et cor ejus: ac tantus
|
||||
erat dolor, quem sensibiliter patiebatur, ut nisi Deus minuisset, brevi se crederet
|
||||
morituram. Hanc ítaque gratiam amantissimus Dominus nova gratia cumulavit, ut sentiret
|
||||
dolorem illapsa vi vulnerum et cruenta signa non apparerent. Quod ita contigisse cum Dei
|
||||
famula confessario suo Raymundo retulisset, ut oculis étiam repræsentaretur, radios in
|
||||
imaginibus beatæ Catharinæ ad dicta quinque loca pertingentes, pia fidelium cura pictis
|
||||
coloribus expressit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Doctrina ejus infusa, non acquisita fuit; sacrarum litterarum professoribus difficillimas
|
||||
de divinitate quæstiones proponentibus respondit; nemo ad eam accessit, qui non melior
|
||||
abierit: multa exstinxit odia, et mortales sedavit inimicitias. Pro pace Florentinorum,
|
||||
qui cum Ecclesia dissidebant, et interdicto ecclesiastico suppositi erant, Avenionem ad
|
||||
Gregorium undecimum Pontificem maximum profecta est. Cui étiam votum ejus de petenda
|
||||
Urbe soli Deo notum, sese divinitus cognovisse monstravit: deliberavitque Pontifex, ea
|
||||
étiam suadente, ad sedem suam Romanam personaliter accedere: quod et fecit. Eidem
|
||||
Gregorio et Urbano sexto ejus successori acceptissima fuit, adeo ut legationibus eorum
|
||||
fungeretur. Denique post innumera virtutum insignia, dono prophetiæ, et pluribus clara
|
||||
miraculis, anno ætatis suæ tertio circiter et trigesimo, migravit ad Sponsum. Quam Pius
|
||||
secundus Pontifex maximus sanctarum Virginum numero adscripsit.

This Katharine was a maiden of Siena, and was born of godly parents. 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. Pope Pius II enrolled her among
|
||||
the Virgin Saints.
