Author Matins temporal-cycle nocturn readings for Advent through Ascensiontide

Extends the post-Pentecost nocturn-readings sweep to the other 26 temporal
ids spanning the rest of the liturgical year — Advent, Christmastide,
post-Epiphany, Septuagesima through Lent, Passiontide/Holy Week, and
Eastertide — transcribed directly from the reference engine's own
per-season Tempora source files.

# Nocturn 2-3, First Sunday of Advent (temporalId advent-1). Sourced from
# the reference engine's Tempora/Adv1-0.txt (Latin) / English/Tempora/
# Adv1-0.txt. Part of the temporal-cycle nocturn-readings sweep extending
# the post-Pentecost season's method (see post-pentecost-01.yml/-02.yml
# and TODO.md's "Temporal-cycle nocturn-readings sweep") to the rest of
# the liturgical year.
#
# Nocturn 2 (Lectio4-6): one continuous excerpt from St. Leo the Great's
# 8th Sermon on the December Fast and almsgiving - no source break,
# combined into one reading. Responsory: Lectio4's own (Responsory4, "Ave
# Maria").
#
# Nocturn 3 (Lectio7-9): Lectio7 itself already carries real homily prose
# after its bare Gospel incipit (Luke 21:25-33, "Et réliqua") - Pope St.
# Gregory the Great's own Homily 1 on the Gospels begins within Lectio7,
# not just at Lectio8 (distinct from the post-pentecost-02-style pattern
# where the homily proper only starts at the lesson after the incipit).
# Combined Lectio7's homily portion (incipit dropped) with Lectio8-9 into
# one continuous reading, using Responsory7 ("Ecce virgo concipiet") - the
# first responsory of the group the combined reading actually spans.

Cum de advéntu regni Dei, et de mundi fine ac témporum, discípulos suos Salvátor instrúeret,
totámque Ecclésiam suam in Apóstolis erudíret: Cavéte, inquit, ne forte gravéntur corda vestra in
crápula, et ebrietáte, et cogitatiónibus sæculáribus. Quod útique præcéptum, dilectíssimi, ad nos
speciálius pertinére cognóscimus, quibus denuntiátus dies, etiámsi est occúltus, non dubitátur
esse vicínus.
Ad cujus advéntum omnem hóminem cónvenit præparári: ne quem aut ventri déditum, aut curis
sæculáribus invéniat implicátum. Quotidiáno enim, dilectíssimi, experiménto probátur, potus
satietáte áciem mentis obtúndi, et cibórum nimietáte vigórem cordis hebetári; ita ut delectátio
edéndi étiam córporum contrária sit salúti, nisi rátio temperántiæ obsístat illécebræ, et quod
futúrum est óneri, súbtrahat voluptáti.
Quamvis enim sine ánima nihil caro desíderet, et inde accípiat sensus, unde sumit et motus:
ejúsdem tamen est ánimæ, quædam sibi súbditæ negáre substántiæ, et interióri judício ab
inconveniéntibus exterióra frenáre: ut a corpóreis cupiditátibus sǽpius líbera, in aula mentis
possit divínæ vacáre sapiéntiæ: ubi omni strépitu terrenárum silénte curárum, in meditatiónibus
sanctis, et in delíciis lætétur ætérnis.

Our Saviour Himself instructed His disciples concerning the times and seasons of the coming of
the Kingdom of God and the end of the world, and He hath given the same teaching to the Church
by the mouth of His Apostles. In connection with this subject then, Our Lord biddeth us beware
lest we let our hearts grow heavy through excess of meat and drink, and worldly thoughts. Dearly
beloved brethren, we know how that this warning applieth particularly to us. We know that that
day is coming, and though for a season we know not the very hour, yet this we know, that it is
near.
Let every man then make himself ready against the coming of the Lord, so that He may not find
him making his belly his god, or the world his chief care. Dearly beloved brethren, it is a
matter of every day experience that fulness of drink dulleth the keenness of the mind, and that
excess of eating unnerveth the strength of the will. The very stomach protesteth that gluttony
doth harm to the bodily health, unless temperance get the better of desire, and the thought of
the indigestion afterward check the indulgence of the moment.
The body without the soul hath no desires; its sensibility cometh from the same source as its
movements. And it is the duty of a man with a reasonable soul to deny something to his lower
nature and to keep back the outer man from things unseemly. Then will his soul, free from fleshly
cravings, sit often at leisure in the palace of the mind, dwelling on the wisdom of God. There,
when the roar and rattle of earthly cares are stilled, will she feed on holy thoughts and
entertain herself with the expectation of the everlasting joy.

Quómodo fiet istud, quóniam virum non cognósco? Et respóndens Angelus, dixit ei.\nR.

Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; * The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore, also that Holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.\nV. How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the Angel answered and said unto her,\nR. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore, also that Holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."

Dóminus ac Redémptor noster parátos nos inveníre desíderans, senescéntem mundum quæ mala
sequántur denúntiat, ut nos ab ejus amóre compéscat. Appropinquántem ejus términum quantæ
percussiónes prævéniant, innotéscit: ut, si Deum metúere in tranquillitáte nólumus, saltem
vicínum ejus judícium vel percussiónibus attríti timeámus.
Huic étenim lectióni sancti Evangélii, quam modo vestra fratérnitas audívit, paulo supérius
Dóminus præmísit, dicens: Exsúrget gens contra gentem, et regnum advérsus regnum: et erunt
terræmótus magni per loca, et pestiléntiæ, et fames. Et quibúsdam interpósitis, hoc, quod modo
audístis, adjúnxit: Erunt signa in sole, et luna, et stellis, et in terris pressúra géntium præ
confusióne sónitus maris, et flúctuum. Ex quibus profécto ómnibus ália jam facta cérnimus, ália
in próximo ventúra formidámus.
Nam gentem contra gentem exsúrgere, earúmque pressúram terris insístere, plus jam in nostris
tempóribus cérnimus, quam in codícibus légimus. Quod terræmótus urbes innúmeras óbruat, ex áliis
mundi pártibus scitis quam frequénter audívimus. Pestiléntias sine cessatióne pátimur. Signa vero
in sole, et luna, et stellis, adhuc apérte mínime vídimus: sed quia et hæc non longe sint, ex ipsa
jam áëris immutatióne collígimus.

Our Lord and Saviour wisheth to find us ready at His second coming. Therefore He telleth us what
will be the evils of the world as it groweth old, that He may wean our hearts from worldly
affections. Here we read what great convulsions will go before the end, that, if we will not
fear God in our prosperity, we may at least be scourged into fearing His judgment when it is at
hand.
Immediately before the passage which hath just been read from the Gospel, are found the
following words of our Lord, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and
great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and pestilences and famines. Then, after a few more
verses, cometh today's Gospel. There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars; and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring. Now
some of these things are come to pass already, and we fear the others are not far off.
In these our days we see nation rise against nation, and their distress over all the earth, more
than we read in books hath ever come to pass of old time. Ye know also how often we hear of
earthquakes overwhelming countless cities in other parts of the world. As for pestilences, we
suffer from them ourselves, with hardly any intermission. As yet we do not see signs in the sun,
and in the moon, and in the stars; but the changes of seasons and climates warn us that we may
look for these also before long.
