Author Matins Nocturn 2/3 patristic readings for the whole post-Pentecost season
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m27s

Closes the gap the user found on 2026-08-23 (post-pentecost-13's Matins had
no patristic reading): nocturn-readings/ had content for only one temporal
id (post-pentecost-15, the original mechanism proof date). Since
resolveTemporalId maps every day in a liturgical week to the same id, one
file per id covers the whole week — authored all 23 remaining
post-pentecost-NN ids (01-14, 16-24) from the reference engine's own
Tempora/PentNN-0.txt files. Trinity Sunday (01) keeps its own full proper
office including a displaced-Sunday commemoration; 02-11 have real Nocturn
2+3 content; 12 onward are Nocturn-3-only (homily, Gospel incipit skipped
per convention), reusing the same two responsories the source itself
cross-references week to week.

Rest of the temporal cycle (Advent/Christmas/Epiphany/Septuagesima/Lent/
Easter) is a separate follow-up pass, tracked in TODO.md.

Facta est quidem nonnúlla imágo rei futúræ étiam in Salomóne, in eo quod templum ædificávit, et
pacem hábuit secúndum nomen suum (Sálomon quippe pacíficus est Latíne), et in exórdio regni sui
mirabíliter laudábilis fuit. Sed eádem sua persóna per umbram futúri prænuntiábat étiam ipse
Christum Dóminum nostrum, non exhibébat. Unde quædam de illo ita scripta sunt, quasi de ipso
ista prædícta sint, dum Scriptúra sancta étiam rebus gestis prophétans, quodámmodo in eo
figúram delíneat futurórum.
Nam præter libros divínæ históriæ, ubi regnásse narrátur, Psalmus étiam septuagésimus primus
título nóminis ejus inscríptus est. In quo tam multa dicúntur, quæ omníno ei conveníre non
possunt, Dómino autem Christo aptíssima perspicuitáte convéniunt: ut evidénter appáreat, quod in
illo figúra qualiscúmque adumbráta sit, in isto autem ipsa véritas præsentáta.
Notum est enim quibus términis regnum conclúsum fúerit Salomónis: et tamen in eo Psalmo légitur,
ut ália táceam: Dominábitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flúmine usque ad términos orbis terræ;
quod in Christo vidémus impléri. A flúmine quippe dominándi sumpsit exórdium, ubi baptizátus a
Joánne, eódem monstránte, cœpit agnósci a discípulis, qui eum non solum magístrum, verum étiam
Dóminum appellavérunt.

Things which were then still to come were in a certain manner imagined in Solomon, who built the
temple, who had that peace which his name implieth (for the name Solomon signifieth "the Peaceful
One") and who, at the beginning of his reign, was marvellously praiseworthy. By these things he
foreshadowed in his own person, though he set not forth with his mouth, our Lord Christ. Thus are
some things written of Solomon which are, as it were, things written concerning Christ, the Holy
Scripture in this way, by giving the history of things past, prophesying all the while of things
to come.
Nor besides the books of the Divine history wherein his reign is recorded, the 71st Psalm is
superscribed with his name. In this Psalm are many things which cannot suit him, but are most
clearly applicable to the Lord Christ, thus showing that Solomon was, as it were, a shadowy
figure cast before, of that which was afterwards revealed in very truth in the Person of Christ.
Without going into the rest, I may say that it is known what were the limits of Solomon's
dominions, and yet in that Psalm we read: "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from
the river unto the ends of the earth." This we see fulfilled in Christ. It was from the river,
that is, from His Baptism by John in Jordan, that He began His assumption of dominion, for then
it was when John bare testimony unto Him that His disciples began to acknowledge Him, calling
Him, not Master only, but Lord.

Si dispensátor iníqui mammónæ, dómini voce laudátur, quod de re iníqua sibi justítiam
præparárit; et passus dispéndia dóminus laudat dispensatóris prudéntiam, quod advérsus dóminum
quidem fraudulénter, sed pro se prudénter égerit: quanto magis Christus, qui nullum damnum
sustinére potest, et pronus est ad cleméntiam, laudábit discípulos suos, si in eos qui creditúri
sibi sunt, misericórdes fúerint?
Dénique post parábolam íntulit: Et ego vobis dico, Fácite vobis amícos de iníquo mammóna.
Mammóna autem non Hebræórum, sed Syrórum lingua divítiæ nuncupántur, quod de iniquitáte colléctæ
sint. Si ergo iníquitas bene dispensáta vértitur in justítiam; quanto magis sermo divínus, in quo
nulla est iníquitas, qui et Apóstolis créditus est, si bene fúerit dispensátus, dispensatóres
suos levábit in cælum?
Quam ob rem séquitur: Qui fidélis est in mínimo, hoc est, in carnálibus; et in multis fidélis
erit, hoc est, in spirituálibus. Qui autem in parvo iníquus est, ut non det frátribus ad uténdum,
quod a Deo pro ómnibus est creátum; iste et in spirituáli pecúnia dividénda iníquus erit, ut non
pro necessitáte, sed pro persónis doctrínam Dómini dívidat. Si autem, inquit, carnáles divítia,
quæ labúntur, non bene dispensátis; veras æternásque divítias doctrínæ Dei quis credet vobis?

The lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely though wickedly. The lord,
although himself defrauded by it, could not but praise the shrewdness of his dishonest servant,
because he had cheated him with profit to himself. How much more will our Master Christ, Who is
above any defrauding by us, and is Himself the Great Forgiver, praise us if we win a blessing
from Him by dealing indulgently with those who are to believe in Him?
After this parable the Lord saith: "Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness."
This word "mammon" is a Syriac, not an Hebrew, word, signifying ill-gotten gains. If then even
ill-gotten gains can be so used by such as have them as to profit them, how much more can they
who, like the Apostles, are "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Cor. iv. 1), those true and
blameless riches, how much more can they profit themselves, even everlastingly, by their right
use of them?
Therefore it is immediately written: "He that is faithful in that which is least," that is to
say, in bodily things, "is faithful also in much," that is to say, in spiritual things. "And he
that is unjust in the least," that is to say, by not giving to his needy brother succour of those
things which are needful for the body, and which God hath made for all men, such an one is
unjust also in much, that is to say, he will deal out spiritual things unfairly, this to one and
that to another, and not according to their true spiritual needs. "If therefore," saith the Lord,
"ye have not been faithful in the use of earthly riches which pass away, who will commit to your
trust the true and abiding riches," that is, the spiritual riches of the word of God?
