From 127eb618794253f40d30bb0a89d00d1b0406f7f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 05:49:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add May Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints 12 of May's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (1 left unsourced, Common-only). Resolves an old loose end from the pre-1955 pass: St. Romanus Abbot does have a real SanctiM file after all, it's just Common-only with no proper Lectio content, which looked like a missing file until actually opened. Also the first isGospel:true case since January (Ss. Philip and James's Nocturn 3 has a full Gospel pericope, not a bare incipit). --- TODO.md | 20 +- ...exander-eventius-theodulus-and-juvenal.yml | 55 ++++++ ...nereus-achilleus-domitilla-and-pancras.yml | 156 +++++++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/ss-philip-and-james.yml | 173 ++++++++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-athanasius.yml | 186 ++++++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-boniface.yml | 57 ++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-gregory-nazianzen.yml | 75 +++++++ .../st-john-before-the-latin-gate.yml | 108 ++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-john-i.yml | 74 +++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-peter-celestine.yml | 51 +++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-pudentiana.yml | 39 ++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-ubald.yml | 75 +++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-urban-i.yml | 41 ++++ 13 files changed, 1108 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-alexander-eventius-theodulus-and-juvenal.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-nereus-achilleus-domitilla-and-pancras.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-philip-and-james.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-athanasius.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-boniface.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-gregory-nazianzen.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-john-before-the-latin-gate.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-john-i.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-peter-celestine.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-pudentiana.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-ubald.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-urban-i.yml diff --git a/TODO.md b/TODO.md index e6dae41..b8a0007 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.

When in the + Council of Jerusalem certain questions were mooted touching the law and circumcision, + James, following the opinion of Peter, addressed a discourse to the brethren, wherein he + proved the call of the Gentiles, and commanded letters to be sent to such brethren as were + absent, that they might take heed not to lay upon the Gentiles the yoke of the Law of + Moses. It is of him that the Apostle Paul saith, writing to the Galatians: Other of the + Apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. + + + So great was James' holiness of life that men strove one with another to touch the hem of + his garment. When he was ninety-six years old, and had most holily governed the Church of + Jerusalem for thirty years, ever most constantly preaching Christ the Son of God, he laid + down his life for the faith. He was first stoned, and afterward taken up on to a pinnacle + of the Temple and cast down from thence. His legs were broken by the fall, and he was + well-nigh dead, but he lifted up his hands towards heaven, and prayed to God for the + salvation of his murderers, saying: Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do. As + he said this, one that stood by smote him grievously upon the head with a fuller's club, + and he resigned his spirit to God. He testified in the seventh year of Nero, and was + buried hard by the Temple, in the place where he had fallen. He wrote one of the Seven + Epistles which are called Catholic. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: true + citation: { la: "Joann 14:1-13", en: "John 14:1-13" } + source: "St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Tract 67 on John" + text: + la: >- + In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Non turbétur cor vestrum.

He was ordained Deacon by Alexander, Bishop of that city, whom he + afterwards succeeded. He had followed Alexander to the Council of Nicea, where he wrestled + triumphantly against the blasphemy of Arius. For this reason he was honoured with so much + of their hatred by the Arians, that their vindictiveness never forsook him from that time + forward. They called together a Council at Tyre, composed for the most part of Arian + Bishops, where they suborned a wretched woman to charge Athanasius with having raped her + when she had received him as a guest into her house. Athanasius therefore came into the + assembly, and with him a certain priest whose name was Timothy. This Timothy arose as + though he were Athanasius, and asked her, saying: Woman, was it I that was thy guest? was + it I that raped thee? She cried out indignantly: Yea, thou it was that didst rape me — the + which she attested with an oath, and called on the honour of the judges to punish such + iniquity. Upon this discovery of her perjury, they drave the shameless woman from their + presence. + + + The Arians also accused Athanasius of having murdered the Bishop Arsenius. This Arsenius + they kept shut up, and brought into the court a dead man's hand, which they declared had + been his, and had been cut off by Athanasius to use in sorcery. But Arsenius escaped in + the night, and when he appeared before all the Council whole and sound, the brazen-faced + crime of the enemies of Athanasius was exposed. This appearance nevertheless they + attributed to Athanasius being a warlock, and persisted still in their attack on him. He + was driven into exile, and banished to Treves in Gaul. Thenceforth, under authority of the + Emperor Constantius, that abettor of Arians, he was hunted to and fro with unceasing + persecutions. He suffered hardships which it is difficult to believe. He was sent + wandering all about the Roman world. He was twice more thrust out of his See, and again + restored through the authority of Pope Julius of Rome, and with the protection of the + Emperor Constans, the brother of Constantius, by decrees of the Councils of Sardica and of + Jerusalem. The vindictiveness of the Arians never let him alone. In his third exile so + great was the danger of his life from the pursuit of their undying hatred, that he had to + lie hid for five years in a dry cistern, unknown to all men, save one of his friends who + brought him food. + + + After the death of Constantius, Julian the Apostate, who succeeded him, allowed every + sort of Bishop who had been banished to return to their own Churches. Athanasius therefore + returned to Alexandria, and was received with profound reverence. But it was not long + before the same Arians got Julian to hunt him down again, and again it behoved him to fly. + A band of soldiers were sent in pursuit of him to kill him, and as he fled up the Nile, + their boat pressed hard on his. Athanasius, before they were yet in sight, had his own + boat turned round, and went down the stream to meet them. As the vessels passed one + another the murderers called out to ask if they knew where Athanasius was, and the servant + of God himself cried to them in answer, Ye are close to him! whereupon they redoubled + their exertions to ascend the stream, and Athanasius went peacefully down to Alexandria, + and found means of concealment till the death of Julian. Yet once again he had to fly from + another persecution at Alexandria, and in this his fifth and last exile he hid himself for + four months in his own father's sepulchre. From all these so many and so great dangers did + God deliver him, and at last he died in his own bed at Alexandria, in the reign of Valens. + He wrote much that is both godly and luminous in explaining the Catholic Faith, and + governed the Church of Alexandria in great holiness, amid all changes of weather, for six + and forty years. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Athanasius, Bishop, Defence of his own Flight (on Matt 10:23-28)" + text: + la: >- + In lege præcéptum erat ut constitueréntur civitátes refugiórum, ut, qui quomodocúmque ad + necem quæreréntur, servari possent.
