From 1de62e698d83a52059e1dc6cbdd8ca3d6ae8e968 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 06:01:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add June Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 12 of June's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the major Duplex I class feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. One left unsourced (the Vigil of St. John the Baptist has only a Nocturn 1 scripture reading in the source, nothing proper to author for Nocturn 2/3). Found a new wrinkle: St. William Abbot has real vita content in both tracks, essentially the same story independently transcribed — sourced from the Tridentine file since only it has an English translation. --- TODO.md | 17 +- .../commemoration-of-st-paul.yml | 151 +++++++++++++++++ .../nativity-of-st-john-the-baptist.yml | 153 ++++++++++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/ss-john-and-paul.yml | 65 ++++++++ .../ss-marcellinus-peter-and-erasmus.yml | 69 ++++++++ .../ss-mark-and-marcellian.yml | 38 +++++ .../nocturn-readings/ss-peter-and-paul.yml | 148 +++++++++++++++++ .../ss-primus-and-felicianus.yml | 54 +++++++ .../ss-vitus-modestus-and-crescentia.yml | 58 +++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-barnabas.yml | 76 +++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-basil-the-great.yml | 148 +++++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-leo-ii.yml | 64 ++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-william-abbot.yml | 87 ++++++++++ 13 files changed, 1126 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/commemoration-of-st-paul.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/nativity-of-st-john-the-baptist.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-john-and-paul.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-marcellinus-peter-and-erasmus.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-mark-and-marcellian.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-peter-and-paul.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-primus-and-felicianus.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-vitus-modestus-and-crescentia.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-barnabas.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-basil-the-great.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-leo-ii.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-william-abbot.yml diff --git a/TODO.md b/TODO.md index b8a0007..dfed368 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.

It is I that have made + you to be what ye are. + + + But let us look what wisdom it is which the Lord requireth. It is the wisdom of the + serpent. The serpent draweth all the rest of his body after his head, and it is no matter + to him if his body be cut through, so long as he keepeth his head unharmed. Thus, O + Christian, is it with thee. It is no matter to thee that for thy faith's sake thou + shouldest lose all things else, money, or body, or, if need be, life itself; thy faith is + thy head, and the root of thy being; hold fast to that, and, as long as thou hast that, + although thou shouldest lose all things else, it will only be to receive them back again + with interest an hundredfold. And thus it is that the Lord biddeth us, not to be + single-hearted only, nor wise only, but both together, that therefrom we may be strong. + + + If thou wilt see how these words were brought to the proof in very deed, read the Book of + the Acts of the Apostles. There thou wilt see how that oftentimes the Jewish people rose + against the Apostles and gnashed on them with their teeth, but they, with dove-like + guilelessness, gave them smooth answers, and turned away their wrath, and quenched their + fury, and stopped their onset. When the Jews said: Did not we straitly command you, that + ye should not teach in this Name? although the Apostles could have worked any miracles + they chose, yet they neither said nor did anything sharp, but answered them with all + meekness: Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, + judge ye.

As regardeth all others among + God's holy and chosen ones we know that that day is observed whereon, with their work + finished, and the world conquered and finally trampled down, they were born from this + into a better life, even one of everlasting blessedness. In others is honoured the + crowning of the struggle on their last day of dying life, but in John is honoured the + first day; in him the very beginning is found hallowed. And the reason of this is, without + doubt, because he was sent from God to bear witness to the coming of the Light, lest when + It came It might take the darkness by surprise, and the darkness might not comprehend It. + Now, John was a figure of the Old Testament, and showed in his own person a typical + embodiment of the Law; and therefore John heralded beforehand the coming of the Saviour, + even as the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us to the grace of Christ. + + + But as touching this, that he prophesied while yet in the hidden depths of his mother's + womb, and while himself lightless bore testimony to the truth, we are to understand it as + a figure how that while himself wrapped round with the veil and carnal ordinances of the + letter, he by the spirit preached unto the world a Redeemer, and testified that Jesus is + our Lord even while for himself, working under the law, the birth of the new dispensation + was still in the womb of the future, and not come to day. The Jews were estranged from the + womb, that is from the Law, that womb heavy with the Christ That was to be; they went + astray from the belly, speaking lies; and therefore John came for a witness, to bear + witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. + + + But as for this, that when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two + of his disciples; this is the Law sending to the Gospel. For John here was a figure of the + Law, imprisoned in ignorance, lying in the dark, and in a hidden place, and he was + fettered through Jewish misunderstanding within the bonds of the letter. But of him was it + said, as is written in the Blessed Evangelist: He was a burning and a shining light; that + is to say, that, when the whole world was wrapt in the night of ignorance, this Saint was + kindled by the fire of the Holy Ghost, to show before men the light of salvation, and at + the hour of the thickest darkness of sin, appeared like a bright morning star to herald + the rising of that Sun so right gloriously radiant, the Son of righteousness, Christ our + Lord. And this is why John said of himself: I am the voice of one crying in the + wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Commentary on Luke, Bk. 2 (on Luke 1:57-69)" + text: + la: >- + Péperit fílium Elísabeth, et congratulabántur vicíni.

The birth of a Saint is a joy for many, for it is a + good to all. Righteousness is an help to all, and therefore when a righteous man is born + it is an heralding of his life, which is still to come, that the helpful excellency of his + future should be hailed by the, as it were, prophetic joy of the neighbours. It is well + that we should be told concerning the prophet, while he was yet in the womb, that we may + know how that Mary was there; but we hear nothing of his childhood, because we know that + it was safe and strong through the nearness of the Lord, Himself then in that womb which + was free from the sorrows of pregnancy. And therefore we read in the Gospel nothing + touching him save his coming, the annunciation thereof to his father, the leap which he + gave in the womb, and his crying in the wilderness. + + + It was not for him to feel childishness, who beyond all use of nature or of his age, when + as yet he lay in his mother's womb, leapt at once unto the measure of the stature of the + fullness of Christ. It is strange how that the Holy Evangelist hath judged meet to tell us + that they thought to call the child Zacharias, after the name of his father, that thou + mayest notice that the mother would have none of the names whereby their kindred were + called, but only that name which the Holy Ghost had dictated, and which the Angel had told + before unto Zacharias. The dumb man had certainly not been able to tell his wife by what + name to call the child, and Elizabeth must needs have learnt by revelation what she could + not have heard from her husband. + + + His name is John; that is, it is not for us to choose a name now for him to whom God hath + given a name already. He hath a name, which we know, but it is not one of our choosing. To + receive a name from God is one of the honours of the Saints. Thus was it that Jacob's name + was no more called Jacob but Israel, because he saw God face to face. Thus was it that our + Lord Jesus was named before He was born, with a name not given by an Angel, but by the + Father.

These are they who have set on + thine head this thy glorious crown, that thou art become an holy nation, a chosen people, + a city both Priestly and Kingly, whom the Sacred Throne of blessed Peter hath exalted till + thou art become the Lady of the world, unto whom the world-wide love for God hath conceded + a broader lordship than is the possession of any mere earthly empire. Thou wast once + waxen great by victories, until thy power was spread haughtily over land and sea, but thy + power was narrower then which the toils of war had won for thee, than that thou now hast + which hath been laid at thy feet by the peace of Christ. + + + It well suited for the doing of the work which God had decreed that the multitude of + kingdoms should be bound together under one rule, and that so the universal preaching of + the Gospel should find easier entry into all peoples, since all were governed by the + empire of one city. But this city, knowing not Him, Who had been pleased to make her + great, used her lordship over almost all nations to make herself the minister of all their + falsehoods, and seemed to herself exceeding godly because there was no false god whom she + rejected.

He + afterwards studied things sacred in a monastery, where he quickly attained an eminent + degree of excellence in doctrine and life, whereby he gained to himself the surname of the + Great. He was called to Pontus to preach the Gospel of Christ Jesus, and brought back into + the way of salvation that country which before had been wandering astray from the rules + of Christian discipline. He was shortly united as coadjutor to Eusebius, Bishop of + Caesarea, for the edification of that city, and afterwards became his successor in the + see. One of his greatest labours was to maintain that the Son is of one Substance with + the Father, and when the Emperor Valens, moved to wrath against him, was willing to send + him into exile, he so bent him by dint of the miracles which he worked that he forced him + to forego his intention. + + + The chair upon which Valens sat down, in order to sign the decree of Basil's ejectment + from the city, broke down under him, and three pens which he took one after the other to + sign the edict of banishment, all would not write; and when nevertheless he remained firm + to write the ungodly order, his right hand shook. Valens was so frightened at these + omens, that he tore the paper in two. During the night which was allowed to Basil to make + up his mind, Valens' wife had a severe stomach-ache, and their only son was taken + seriously ill. These things alarmed Valens so much that he acknowledged his wickedness, + and sent for Basil, during whose visit the child began to get better. However, when Valens + sent for some heretics to see it, it presently died. + + + The abstinence and self-control of Basil were truly wonderful. He was content to wear + nothing but one single garment. In observance of fasting he was most earnest, and so + instant in prayer, that he would oftentimes pass the whole night therein. His virginity he + kept always unsullied. He built monasteries, wherein he so adapted the institution of + monasticism, that he exquisitely united for the inmates the advantages of the + contemplative and of the active life. He was the author of many learned writings, and, + according to the witness of Gregory of Nazianzus, no one hath ever composed more faithful + and edifying explanations of the books of the Holy Scripture.

He was but little over + fourteen years of age, when, impelled by a strange earnestness for holiness, he undertook + a pilgrimage to Compostella, to the far-famed Church of St. James. This journey he made + clad in a single garment, wearing an iron girdle wound two-fold round his body, and with + bare feet. He accomplished his object under the severest hardships of cold and heat, + hunger and thirst, and at the great danger of his life. After his return to Italy, he + undertook a new pilgrimage, this time to the Holy Sepulchre of the Lord. But in the way of + fulfilling this, there arose diverse and most grievous obstacles, whereby the hand of God + drew the lad to the higher and holier life of a monk. He dwelt in the town of Monte + Solicolo for two years, which he passed in constant prayer, watching, sleeping upon the + ground, and fasting. At the end of this time, the power of God made him the mean to + restore a blind man to sight. The fame of this miracle became so noised abroad, that + William could no longer remain unknown. His thoughts turned again towards Jerusalem, and + he again entered cheerfully on the journey. + + + He was again hindered by a vision from God, and remained among the Italians to be more + useful, and to bring forth more fruit than he would have done among strangers. With + extraordinary speed, he built a monastery upon the summit of Monte Vergiliano, ever since + named Monte Vergine. Thither he called around him, as his comrades, devout men, and + schooled them into a way of life most closely following the commands and counsels of the + Gospel, in great part by a rule taken from the constitutions of Blessed Benedict, and + supplemented by his own words, and the example of his own holy life. + + + As other monasteries were raised, the holy life of William became more known day by day, + and brought men to him from all quarters, drawn by the sweet savour of his godliness, and + the fame of his miracles. At his prayers the dumb spake, the deaf heard, the withered were + strengthened, and they that suffered under diverse and incurable diseases received + health. He turned water into wine, and openly worked many other miracles. Among all these + things it must be told that a wretched woman sought him to lure him to impurity, but he + raked hot embers out upon the floor and cast himself down upon them, and wallowed among + them, and escaped unhurt. When this thing came to the knowledge of Roger I., King of + Naples, it roused in him the highest reverence for the man of God. At the last, after + foretelling his own death to the King and to others, and full of good works and miracles, + he fell asleep in the Lord, in the year of salvation 1142. + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
