From 2cecda3a6eb7be94d9cf514589bc1dd60e41d18c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 06:14:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add July Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints 13 of July's 18 SanctiM-track saints authored (5 left unsourced, Common-only). Discovered the Monastic calendar keeps a full Octave of St. Benedict (Jul 11-18), which explains several dates' SanctiM files not matching their expected saint. Also hit a translation-misalignment bug on St. Bonaventure's English source (paragraph boundaries don't line up with the Latin), worked around with an original translation. --- TODO.md | 21 ++- .../nocturn-readings/ss-abdon-and-sennen.yml | 35 +++++ .../ss-seven-brothers-rufina-and-secunda.yml | 96 ++++++++++++ .../ss-symphorosa-and-seven-sons.yml | 49 +++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-alexius.yml | 36 +++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-anacletus.yml | 79 ++++++++++ src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-anne.yml | 89 +++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-apollinaris.yml | 138 ++++++++++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-bonaventure.yml | 97 ++++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-james-the-greater.yml | 111 ++++++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-john-gualbert.yml | 107 ++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-martha.yml | 123 ++++++++++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-mary-magdalene.yml | 110 ++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-pius-i.yml | 40 +++++ 14 files changed, 1129 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-abdon-and-sennen.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-seven-brothers-rufina-and-secunda.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/ss-symphorosa-and-seven-sons.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-alexius.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-anacletus.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-anne.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-apollinaris.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-bonaventure.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-james-the-greater.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-john-gualbert.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-martha.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-mary-magdalene.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-pius-i.yml diff --git a/TODO.md b/TODO.md index dfed368..1e84c16 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.

This centurion was a secret worshipper of Christ, and in the + night he let Apollinaris go.

As a boy he fell dangerously ill, and his + mother vowed that if he recovered, he should be dedicated to the religious life of + blessed Francis; he came through unharmed by the prayers of that same Francis. So, as a + young man, he chose to embrace the Institute of the Friars Minor, in which, under his + teacher Alexander of Hales, he attained such excellence in learning that, seven years + later, having taken the laurel of the mastership at Paris, he publicly expounded the + Books of the Sentences with the greatest applause, and later illustrated them with + splendid commentaries. He excelled wonderfully not only in the depth of his learning but + in integrity of character and innocence of life, in humility, gentleness, contempt of + earthly things, and longing for the things of heaven — worthy indeed to be held up as a + pattern of perfection, and to be called a saint even by blessed Thomas Aquinas, to whom + he was joined in the greatest affection. For Thomas, when he found him writing the life + of St. Francis, said: Let us allow a saint to labour for a saint. + + + Kindled with the flame of divine love, he was borne along by a singular devotion toward + the Passion of the Lord Christ, on which he meditated continually, and toward the + Mother of God, to whom he had wholly devoted himself; and he strove with the greatest + earnestness to stir up this same devotion in others, both by word and example, and to + increase it through his written works. Hence came that sweetness of manner, that grace of + speech, and that charity poured out upon all, by which he bound the hearts of each to + himself most closely. For this reason, when he was scarcely thirty-five years old, he was + chosen at Rome, by the unanimous consent of all, Minister General of the Order; and he + carried out the office he had undertaken for eighteen years with wonderful prudence and + renown for holiness. He established many things useful to regular discipline and to the + enlargement of the Order, which, together with the other mendicant Orders, he + successfully defended against the slanders of its detractors. + + + Summoned by blessed Gregory X to the Council of Lyons and created Cardinal Bishop of + Albano, he gave outstanding service to the difficult business of the Council, whereby the + discords of schism were settled and the doctrines of the Church vindicated. In the midst + of these labours, in the fifty-third year of his age, in the year of salvation 1274, he + departed this life to the great grief of all, and was honoured with a funeral by the + whole Council, the Roman Pontiff himself being present.

And He surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons + of thunder. Peter, and James, and John, were the three Apostles whom the Saviour loved + best; them He took and brought up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured + before them; when He went to the house of the ruler of the synagogue to raise his + daughter from the dead, He suffered no man to follow Him save Peter, and James, and John; + and, at the last, just before the Jews took Him, when He cometh unto a place called + Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples: Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. He took + with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee. + + + After that Jesus Christ was ascended into heaven, James preached how that He was God, + and led many in Judaea and Samaria to the Christian Faith. A while afterward, he went to + Spain, and there he brought some to Christ, of whom seven were afterwards ordained + Bishops by Blessed Peter, and were the first such sent into that country. From Spain + James went back to Jerusalem, where he taught the Faith to diverse persons, and, among + others, to the Magician Hermogenes. Thereupon Herod Agrippa, who had been raised to the + kingdom under the Emperor Claudius, to curry favour with the Jews, condemned James to + death for his firm confession that Jesus Christ is God. The officer who led James to the + judgment-seat, at sight of the courage wherewith he was ready to offer up his testimony, + declared himself also to be a Christian. + + + As they were being hurried to execution, this man asked pardon of James, and the + Apostle kissed him, saying, Peace be unto thee. James healed a paralytic, and immediately + afterwards both the prisoners were beheaded. The body of the Apostle was afterwards taken + to Compostella, where his grave is very famous.

In accordance with the wishes + of his father, he became a soldier. While he was in that profession, his only brother, + Hew, was slain by a cousin. On a certain Good Friday, John, armed and accompanied by + soldiers, met the murderer, alone and defenceless, in a narrow way, where neither could + turn aside. As he was at the point to kill him, the wretch fell on his knees, and + stretched out his arms in the form of the Cross, adjuring him, for the sake of that sign, + to forgive him; and out of reverence for the Cross he had mercy on him and spared his + life. After pardoning his enemy, he went into the Church of St. Minias, which was hard by, + to pray. And there he saw the image of Jesus crucified, which had that day received the + worship of the faithful, bow its head to him. By this miracle John was so moved, that he + laid aside soldiering, even against his father's wishes, cut off his hair with his own + hands, at the Convent of St. Minias, and clad himself in the garb of a monk. In a short + while he so shone with all godly and monkish graces, that he became a pattern of + excellency to many. When the Abbat of that house died, the monks all chose John to + succeed him. But the servant of God desired to obey, more than to command, and, being + kept by God for greater things, he betook himself to one Romuald, a dweller in the + hermitage at Camaldoli. Through Romuald he received a revelation from heaven, and + forthwith founded an Order of his own under the Rule of St. Benedict, in the valley + called Vallombrosa. + + + Many gathered themselves to him, drawn by the fame of his holy life. Them he took for + his comrades, and laboured earnestly among them to cleanse the Church in those parts from + the pollution of heresy and simony, and spread abroad the Apostolic Faith. He and his had + to fight with almost countless hardships. Certain enemies broke by night into the + monastery of San Salvi, to destroy John and his monks, set the church on fire, pulled down + the huts, and mortally wounded all the monks; but the man of God perfectly healed them + all by the sign of the Cross. One of his monks named Peter also passed unhurt through a + vast and raging fire. At length John and his disciples got the peace which they longed + for. He purged Tuscany of the pollution of simony, and restored the faith throughout all + Italy to its first purity. + + + He entirely built several monasteries, and furnished them and others with buildings. He + restored in them the strict observance of the Rule, and gave them holy laws. He sold the + furniture of the Church to feed the poor, and found the very elements subject to him to + bend stubborn hearts withal. He used the Cross like a sword to drive out devils. In his + old age, worn out by abstinence, watching, fasts, prayers, and punishing of the flesh, his + strength utterly gave way, and he often repeated the words of David: My soul thirsteth for + God, for the mighty God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God? When + he was at the point of death, he gathered his disciples together and exhorted them to + love one another, and, after a little while, ordered the following words to be written + down, which he wished should be buried with him: I, John, do believe and confess that + Faith which the Holy Apostles preached, and which the Holy Fathers have ratified in the + four Councils. At length, at Passignano, where he is held in the highest reverence, after + a vision of angels which lasted three days, he passed away to be with the Lord, upon the + 12th day of July, in the 78th year of his own age, and in that of salvation 1073.

There remain several eminent ordinances of his, + notably that which ruleth that the Resurrection of the Lord be not observed upon any day + of the week save the Lord's Day. He turned the house of Pudens into a church, and on + account of its eminence above the other churches, as being that where the Bishop of Rome + dwelt, he dedicated it under the name of the Shepherd. Here he often celebrated, and + baptized and numbered among the faithful many converts to the faith. While he strove to do + the work of a good shepherd he shed his blood for his sheep, and for the chief Shepherd + Christ. He was crowned with martyrdom upon the 11th day of July, and buried upon the + Vatican Hill. + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
