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).

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for Ss. Alexander I, Pope, Eventius and
# Theodulus, Martyrs, and Juvenal, Bishop and Confessor (May 3) — the
# correct Tridentine file is the suffixed `Sancti/05-03r.txt` (whose
# own `Lectio93` in turn just repeats its `Lectio94`, the real proper
# text). `SanctiM/05-03rM.txt` matches this same suffix and bases
# `@Sancti/05-03r`, but narrows the feast's own Officium to the three
# martyrs alone (dropping Juvenal) — same "Monastic office narrows a
# joint feast" pattern already seen for `ss-vincent-and-anastasius.yml`
# and `ss-cletus-and-marcellinus.yml`; the full joint text (which
# genuinely covers all four, Juvenal included) is used here per
# vu-prefer-text-over-missing (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints,
# vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/05-03r.txt, English/Sancti/05-03r.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio94), one continuous account, no
# responsory given in the source.

Alexander Romanus, Hadriáno imperatóre regens Ecclésiam, magnam partem Romanæ
nobilitátis ad Christum convértit. Is constítuit ut tantummodo panis et vinum in
mysterio offerrétur: vinum autem aqua miscéri jussit, propter sánguinem et aquam, quæ ex
Jesu Christi látere profluxérunt; et in Cánone Missæ addidit, Qui pridie quam paterétur.
Idem decrevit ut aqua benedicta, sale admixto, perpetuo in ecclésia asservarétur, et in
cubiculis adhiberétur ad fugándos dæmones. Sedit annos decem, menses quinque et dies
viginti, vitæ sanctitáte et salutáribus institútis illustris. Martyrio coronátus est una
cum Eventio et Theodúlo presbyteris, sepultúsque est via Nomentana, tertio ab Urbe
lápide, eodem in loco, ubi secúri percússus fuerat; creátis diverso témpore mense
Decembri presbyteris sex, diáconis duobus et epíscopis per diversa loca quinque. Eórum
corpora, póstea in Urbem translata, in ecclésia sanctæ Sabinæ condita sunt. In eumdem
diem incidit beáta mors sancti Juvenalis, Narniénsis epíscopi; qui, cum plurimos in ea
urbe sanctitáte et doctrina Christo peperísset, clarus miraculis in pace quiévit ibique
honorifice sepúltus est.

Alexander was a Roman, who ruled the Church during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. He
turned to Christ a great number of the Roman nobility. He ordained that nothing but bread
and wine should be offered at the mystery, but that some water should be mingled with the
wine, in memory of the Blood and Water Which flowed from the Side of Jesus Christ. He
added to the Canon of the Mass the words Who, the night before He suffered. He also
ordained that blessed water mingled with salt, should be kept always in Churches, and
should be used in private rooms to scare away devils. He sat in the throne of Peter ten
years, five months, and twenty days. He hath great renown on account of the holiness of
his life, and the usefulness of his institutions. He was crowned with martyrdom, together
with the Priests Eventius and Theodulus, and was buried beside the Nomentan Way, at the
third mile-stone from the city, in the same place where he had been beheaded. During his
Popedom he held diverse Advent ordinations, and at them ordained six Priests, two
Deacons, and five Bishops for diverse places. The bodies of these three Martyrs,
Alexander, Eventius, and Theodulus, were afterwards brought into the city, and buried in
the Church of St Sabina. On this day likewise occurred the blessed death of Juvenal, the
holy Bishop of Narni, who by the holiness of his life and teaching, became the father in
Christ of so many of the dwellers in that city. He fell asleep very peacefully, with great
fame for miracles, and was there honourably buried.
