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, Sunday within the Octave of Christmas (temporalId
+# christmas-octave-sunday). Sourced from Tempora/Nat1-0.txt (Latin) /
+# English/Tempora/Nat1-0.txt - see christmas-octave-sunday-collect.yml's
+# own header for why this Sunday's other content (2026-08) had to be
+# sourced from a Divino Afflatu 1954 live query instead: the Monastic
+# Tridentinum 1617 rubrics rarely let this Sunday's own identity render on
+# a real date, but its underlying office (this file's own source) is real
+# and shared across both tracks. See advent-1.yml for the general sweep
+# method.
+#
+# Nocturn 2 (Lectio4-6): one continuous excerpt from St. Leo the Great's
+# 9th Sermon on Christmas. Responsory: Lectio4's own, a cross-reference in
+# the source to Sancti/12-25 (Christmas Day itself)'s Responsory5 ("Beáta
+# Dei Génetrix María") - resolved and transcribed here directly, same
+# pattern the post-Pentecost files used for their own cross-references.
+#
+# Nocturn 3 (Lectio7-9): Lectio7 carries real homily prose after its bare
+# Gospel incipit (Luke 2:33-40, "Et réliqua") - St. Ambrose's own homily
+# (Bk. 2 on Luke ii) begins within Lectio7 itself, same pattern as the
+# Advent Sundays. Combined Lectio7's homily portion (incipit dropped) with
+# Lectio8-9, using Lectio7's own responsory - again a cross-reference, to
+# Sancti/12-25's Responsory8 ("Verbum caro factum est") - rather than the
+# inline "O Regem cæli" text this file gives at its own [Responsory8] slot
+# (that inline text belongs to the *next* Sunday's now-renumbered
+# sequence after Lectio1 was swapped for "OctNat" per this file's own
+# [Rule], not to the Lectio7-9 unit authored here).

+        Excédit quidem, dilectíssimi, multúmque superéminet humáni elóquii facultátem divini operis
+        magnitúdo: et inde óritur difficultas fandi, unde adest rátio non tacendi. Quia in Christo Jesu
+        Fílio Dei non solum ad divinam esséntiam, sed étiam ad humanam spectat natúram quod dictum est
+        per prophétam: Generatiónem ejus quis enarrábit? Utrámque enim substántiam in unam convenísse
+        persónam, nisi fides credat, sermo non explicat. Et ideo numquam materia déficit laudis, quia
+        numquam sufficit copia laudatóris.
+
+
+        Gaudeámus ígitur, quod ad eloquéndum tantæ misericórdiæ sacraméntum ímpares sumus; et cum salútis
+        nostræ altitúdinem prómere non valeamus, sentiámus nobis bonum esse, quod vincimur. Nemo enim ad
+        cognitiónem veritátis magis propinquat, quam qui intélligit in rebus divinis, étiam si multum
+        profíciat, semper sibi superesse quod quærat. Nam qui se ad id, in quod tendit, pervenísse
+        præsúmit, non quæsíta réperit, sed in inquisitióne déficit.
+
+
+        Ne autem infirmitátis nostræ perturbemur angústiis, evangélicæ nos et prophéticæ ádjuvant voces;
+        quibus ita accendimur, et docemur, ut nos nativitátem Dómini, qua Verbum caro factum est, non tam
+        prætéritam recólere, quam præséntem videámur inspícere. Quod enim pastóribus pro gregum suórum
+        custódia vigilántibus nuntiávit Angelus, étiam nostrum implévit audítum: et ideo Dominicis ovibus
+        præsumus, quia verba divínitus édita cordis aure servámus: tamquam et in hodiérna festivitáte
+        dicátur: Evangelizo vobis gáudium magnum, quod erit omni pópulo, quia natus est vobis hódie
+        Salvator, qui est Christus Dóminus, in civitáte David.

+        Dearly beloved brethren, the greatness of God's work, in its breadth and height, passeth the
+        power of man's utterance; and, therefore, when we must needs not keep silence, we find it hard
+        to know what to say. The words of the Prophet: Who shall declare His generation? look not only
+        to the Divine, but also to the human birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Faith believeth, but
+        words cannot explain, how the two natures were joined in one Person, and therein we find that we
+        shall never lack matter of praise in Him, Whose abundance ever outrunneth the power of our
+        expression.
+
+
+        Therefore let us rejoice, that this mystery of mercy is greater than we can ever speak; and let
+        us feel that it is good for us to fail if we try to express the height and depth of redeeming
+        love. He cometh nearest to the knowledge of the truth, who, the farther he advanceth, seeth all
+        the more clearly that he can never overtake that whereafter he searcheth. For he that imagineth
+        therein that he hath ever attained unto the goal, hath not found that which he seeketh, but hath
+        altogether missed.
+
+
+        But lest we should be confounded at the weakness of our mortality, we have help in the words of
+        the Prophets and Evangelists; and they are able so to inflame and teach us that we may see the
+        Birth of the Lord, wherein the Word was made Flesh, not so much as a thing past, as a thing
+        present. The proclamation of the angel to the shepherds who watched their flocks by night,
+        ringeth in our ears also; and for this end are we appointed to rule the Lord's flock, that we may
+        ever keep in our heart the word revealed from heaven, and say unto you, as we do this day:
+        Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people; for unto you is born
+        this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, Which is Christ the Lord!
+    responsory:
+      la: "R. Beáta Dei Génetrix María, cujus víscera intácta pérmanent: * Hódie génuit Salvatórem sǽculi.\nV. Beáta, quæ crédidit: quóniam perfécta sunt ómnia, quæ dicta sunt ei a Dómino.\nR. Hódie génuit Salvatórem sǽculi."
+      en: "R. Blessed is God's holy Mother, Mary, maiden undefiled. * This day hath she brought forth the Saviour of the world.\nV. Blessed is she that believed; for there is a performance of all those things which were told her from the Lord.\nR. This day hath she brought forth the Saviour of the world."

+        Vides úberem in omnes grátiam, Dómini generatióne diffúsam, et prophetíam incrédulis negátam

+        Dóminum Jesum Christum, ut justórum, iniquorúmque mérita discérnat; et pro nostrórum qualitáte

+
+
+        Et tuam ipsíus ánimam pertransíbit gládius. Nec littera, nec historia docet, ex hac vita Mariam
+        corporalis necis passióne migrasse. Non enim anima, sed corpus materiali gládio transverberátur.
+        Et ideo prudéntiam Maríæ haud ignaram mysterii cæléstis osténdit. Vivum enim verbum Dei, et
+        válidum, et acutius omni gládio acutíssimo, pénetrans usque ad divisiónem ánimæ et spíritus,
+        artuum quoque et medullárum, cogitatiónes cordis et secreta scrutátur animórum, quia nuda et

+
+
+        Prophetávit ítaque Simeon, prophetáverat virgo, prophetáverat copuláta conjugio; prophétare
+        debuit étiam vidua, ne qua aut proféssio deésset, aut sexus. Et ideo Anna et stipendiis
+        viduitátis, et móribus talis inducitur, ut digna plane fuísse credátur, quæ Redemptórem ómnium
+        venisse nuntiáret. Cujus mérita cum álibi descripsérimus, cum víduas hortarémur, hoc loco,

+        We see that God's abounding grace is poured forth on all by the birth of the Lord, and that the
+        gift of prophecy is not denied to the righteous, but to the unbelieving. Simeon prophesieth that
+        our Lord Jesus Christ is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, setting forth that
+        the just and the unjust reap different fruits from the coming of the Saviour; so will it be with
+        us; according to our individual works will the True and Just Judge apportion to us punishment or
+        reward.
+
+
+        See, a sword shall pierce through thine own soul also. We have no record or tradition that Mary
+        left this world by suffering a violent death, and the material sword can pierce the body only,
+        and not the soul. Wherefore here we see the wisdom of Mary in that she was not ignorant of the
+        heavenly mysteries. For, the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
+        sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,
+        and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart: for all things are naked and opened
+        unto the eyes of the Son of God, from Whom also the secret things of our conscience are not
+        hidden.
+
+
+        There had been a triple prophecy; the prophecy of Simeon had followed the prophecy of the virgin,
+        and the prophecy of the wife; those, namely, of Mary and Elizabeth. And now ought the widow also
+        to prophesy, that no sex nor state might be wanting. And Anna is brought before us with such a
+        title from her widowhood and her life, that we may well believe that she received the grace to
+        announce the Advent of the Redeemer. In our exhortation addressed to widows we have already
+        treated of her gifts at length, and, as we have much matter before us, we will not now again
+        enter on the subject.

Omnia per ipsum facta sunt, et sine ipso factum est nihil.\nR. Et vídimus glóriam ejus, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis."
+      en: "R. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. * And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.\nV. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made.\nR. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
