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 St. Ubald, Bishop and Confessor (May
# 16). No genuine SanctiM match: the only SanctiM file for this date,
# `SanctiM/05-16b.txt`, is a wholly different saint (St. Gentius the
# Hermit, a later addition) — a missed pre-1955-pool candidate rather
# than a genuine SanctiM case (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints,
# vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/05-16.txt, English/Sancti/05-16.txt.
# Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita, no genuine
# source break. No responsory given in the source.

Ubaldus Eugubii in Umbria nobili genere natus, a primis annis pietáte et litteris
egregie est institútus; jamque adoléscens, ut uxórem duceret, sæpe tentatus, numquam
tamen a proposito servandæ virginitátis recéssit. Sacerdos effectus, patrimónium suum
paupéribus et ecclésiis distríbuit, et canonicórum regulárium ordinis sancti Augustíni
institutum suscípiens, illud in pátriam tránstulit, atque in eo aliquámdiu sanctíssime
vixit. Cujus sanctitátis opinióne evulgata, ab Honorio secundo summo Pontifice ecclésiæ
Eugubinæ invítus præfícitur, et episcopalis consecratiónis munere decorátur.
Ad suam ítaque revertens ecclésiam, cum de consueta vivéndi ratióne nihil ádmodum
immutasset, in omni tamen virtútum genere eo magis eminére cœpit, quo efficacius aliórum
étiam salútem verbo et exemplo procuraret, factus forma gregis ex animo. Nam victu
parco, vestítu moderáto, léctulo áspero et paupérrimo, crucis mortificatiónem jugiter in
suo corpore circumferebat, dum inexplébili oratiónis studio spíritum quotídie recrearet.
Hinc admirábilem illam mansuetúdinem est adeptus, qua gravíssimas injurias et
contumelias non modo æquanimiter tulit, verum étiam mirifico dilectiónis afféctu
persecutores suos omni benignitátis testimonio complectebátur.
Biennio, antequam ex hac vita migráret, cum diutinis afflictarétur infirmitátibus,
inter acerbíssimos corporis cruciátus velut aurum in fornace purgátum, Deo grátias
indesinenter agebat. Adveniénte autem sacro Pentecostes die, cum multis annis ecclésiam
sibi commissam cum magna cum laude gubernasset, sanctis opéribus ac miraculis clarus
quiévit in pace. Quem Cælestinus Papa tertius in Sanctórum númerum retulit. Ejus virtus
præcipue in effugandis spirítibus immundis elucet. Corpus vero, per tot sæcula
incorruptum, magna fidelium veneratióne in pátria colitur, quam non semel a præsénti
discrimine liberávit.

Ubald was born of a noble family at Gubbio in Umbria, and well established in godliness
and learning from his earliest years. When he was a young man, it was often proposed to
him to marry, but he never abandoned his determination to preserve his virginity. After
that he was ordained Priest he divided his inheritance among the poor and Churches, and
embraced the Institute of Canons Regular of St. Augustine. This Institute he brought to
Gubbio, and for some time led therein a most holy life. When the fame of his saintliness
had got noised abroad, Pope Honorius II set him, contrary to his own wishes, over the
Church of Gubbio, and he was honoured with consecration as Bishop by the hands of the said
Pope himself.
When Ubald came to live as Bishop in Gubbio, he changed his way of life in no wise from
that which he had led before, but his virtues began to be more eminent because his word
and example were now more able to benefit his neighbours, to whom the shepherd of their
souls was a pattern, not by outward showing only, but from his heart. He ate little,
dressed simply, and slept upon a hard and very poor bed. He always bore in the body the
dying of the Lord Jesus, while he daily fed his soul in unceasing and earnest prayer.
Hence he acquired such wonderful meekness, that when he was most grievously wronged and
insulted he not only took it patiently, but, by a strange impulse of love for them,
embraced his persecutors with every proof of affection.
Just the space of two years before Ubald passed away from this present life, he was
tried as gold in the furnace, by grievous bodily weakness, and, day after day, amid the
sharpest sufferings, he never ceased patiently to give God thanks. He rested in peace on
the sacred day of Pentecost, having for many years governed with great praise the Church
which had been entrusted to him, and glorious for good works and miracles. Pope Celestine
III. numbered him with the Saints. His strength is most chiefly shown in the casting out
of evil spirits. His body hath remained without corruption for all these ages, and is
reverenced greatly in his native town by Christ's faithful people. To them he hath more
than once shown himself good at need.
