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.

Curátur hydrópicus, in quo fluxus carnis exúberans ánimæ gravábat offícia, spíritus exstinguébat
ardórem. Deínde docétur humílitas, dum in illo convívio nuptiáli appeténtia loci superióris
arcétur; cleménter tamen, ut persuásio humanitátis aspertitátem coërcitiónis exclúderet, rátio
profíceret ad persuasiónis efféctum, et corréctio emendáret afféctum. Huic quasi próximo límine
humánitas copulátur: quæ ita Domínicæ senténtiæ definitióne distínguitur, si in páuperes et
débiles conferátur: nam hospitálem esse remuneratúris, afféctus avarítiæ est.
Postrémo jam quasi eméritæ milítiæ viro contemnendárum stipéndium præscríbitur facultátum: quod
neque ille, qui stúdiis inténtus inferióribus possessiónes sibi terrénas coémit, regnum cæli
possit adipísci, cum Dóminus dicat: Vende ómnia tua, et séquere me: nec ille, qui emit boves, cum
Eliséus occíderit, et pópulo divíserit quos habébat: et ille qui duxit uxórem, cógitet quæ mundi
sunt, non quæ Dei. Non quo conjúgium reprehendátur, sed quia ad majórem honórem vocétur
intégritas: quóniam múlier innúpta et vídua cógitat quæ sunt Dómini, ut sit sancta córpore et
spíritu.
Sed ut in grátiam, ut supra cum víduis, ita nunc étiam cum conjúgibus revertámur: non refúgimus
opiniónem, quam sequúntur pleríque, ut tria génera hóminum a consórtio magnæ illíus cœnæ
æstimémus exclúdi: Gentílium, Judæórum, Hæreticórum. Et ídeo Apóstolus avarítiam dicit esse
fugiéndam; ne impedíti more Gentíli, iniquitáte, malítia, impudicítia, avarítia, ad regnum
Christi perveníre nequeámus. Omnis enim immúndus aut avárus, quod est idolórum sérvitus, non
habet hereditátem in regno Christi et Dei.

Now is healed this man sick of the dropsy, in whom too much watery matter had well-nigh drowned
the functions of life, and quenched the fire of understanding. Anon, a lesson is given in
lowly-mindedness, when it is forbidden to the guests at a marriage feast to go and sit down
unasked in the highest room, albeit the Lord spake gently, that the teaching of courtesy might
forestall a harsh rebuke, reason prevail by dint of persuasion, and the desires be bent to follow
the instruction. And upon this, as next-door neighbour, cometh courtesy, which is so called by
the Lord, when it is shown to the poor and weak, since to show it to them from whom we are to
receive aught, is but a movement of self-interest.
Lastly, as to a soldier that hath served his full time, is apportioned a reward for esteeming
lightly of riches so he only can inherit the kingdom of God, whose soul is not given to seek
after lower ends, and who purchaseth not to himself earthly possessions whereas the Lord saith:
"Sell that thou hast, and follow Me" (Matth. xix. 21). Neither can he gain it that buyeth oxen,
which beasts Elisha slew and gave unto the people (3 Kings xix. 21). Neither can he win it which
hath married a wife and therefore cannot come, for "he that is unmarried careth for the things
that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord but he that is married careth for the things
that are of the world, how he may please his wife" (1 Cor. vii. 32, 33). Not that this is to be
taken for blame of marriage, but only that virginity is the more honourable way, since "the
unmarried woman" and the widow "careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in
body and in spirit" (34).
But in all fairness, having thus spoken concerning widows, let us betake ourselves again among
the married, and join with them in entertaining the opinion which is held by so many, that there
are only three classes of men who are shut out from the great supper named in the gospel, which
three classes are Heathens, Jews, and Heretics. And therefore it is that the Apostle warneth us
that we "walk not as other Gentiles walk," in malice and bitterness, and uncleanness, and
covetousness, and so have no entry into the kingdom of Christ, since "no unclean person, nor
covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God"
(Eph. iv. 17, v. 5).
