Add September sanctoral content: 10 saints/feasts
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m7s

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: St. Stephen of Hungary, St.
Pius X, St. Lawrence Justinian, Ss. Protus and Hyacinth, the Holy Name
of Mary, the Seven Sorrows of the BVM (Duplex II Classis, own full
proper content except Nocturn 2, a real cross-reference to Passion
Friday's own temporal content), the Impression of the Stigmata of St.
Francis, St. Joseph of Cupertino, Our Lady of Ransom, and St.
Wenceslaus.

Ss. Protus and Hyacinth (Sep 11) were previously excluded under a
stale "real secondary saint blocked by the Nativity's own octave, same
as St. Clare in August" note -- wrong, same class of error already
corrected for St. Tiburtius/Susanna in August: the octave-window
exclusion was never a real rule. Sep 15 (day 8 of the Nativity's own
octave) is now also the Seven Sorrows' own fixed day (Duplex II
Classis), which wins outright with the octave still commemorated
alongside her -- updated september-sanctoral.test.ts's own "excluded
secondary saints" case accordingly, splitting it into the still-valid
Sep 9 (Gorgonius) half and a new Sep 15 case reflecting the real
winner.

Quo témpore major feliciorque Hispaniárum pars diro Saracenórum
opprimebátur jugo, innumerique fidéles sub immani servitute,
maximo cum periculo christianæ fidei abjurandæ, amittendæque
salútis ætérnæ, infeliciter detinebántur, beatíssima cælórum
Regína, tot tantisque benigniter occurrens malis, nimiam
caritátem suam in iis rediméndis osténdit. Nam sancto Petro
Nolasco, pietáte et opibus florenti, qui, sanctis vacans
meditatiónibus, jugiter animo recogitábat qua ratióne tot
Christianórum ærumnis sub Maurórum captivitáte degéntium
succurri posset, ípsamet beatíssima Virgo, serena fronte, se
conspiciéndam dedit; et acceptíssimum sibi ac unigenito suo
Fílio fore dixit, si suum in honórem institueréntur ordo
religiosórum, quibus cura incumberet captivos e Turcárum
tyrannide liberandi. Qua cælésti visióne vir Dei recreatus,
mirum est quo caritátis ardore flagrare cœperit, hoc unum
servans in corde suo, ut ipse ac instituénda ab eo religio
maximam illam caritátem sedulo exercerent, ut quisque ánimam
suam póneret pro amicis et próximis suis.
Ea ipsa nocte éadem Virgo sanctíssima beato Raymundo de
Péñafort et Jacobo Aragoniæ regi appáruit, idípsum de religiosis
instituéndis ádmonens, suadensque ut opem pro constructióne
tanti operis ferrent. Petrus autem statim ad Raymundi pedes, qui
ipsi erat a sacris confessiónibus, ádvolans, ei rem omnem
apéruit; quem étiam cælitus instructum réperit, ejusque
directióni se humillime subjécit. At, superveniens Jacobus rex,
quam et ipse acceperat a beatíssima Vírgine, revelatiónem
éxsequi státuit. Unde, collátis inter se consíliis, et
consentiéntibus ánimis, in honórem ejusdem Vírginis Matris
ordinem institúere aggressi sunt, sub invocatióne sanctæ Maríæ
de Mercede redemptiónis captivórum.
Die ígitur décima Augusti anno Dómini millesimo ducentésimo
décimo octavo, rex idem Jacobus eam institutiónem, jamprídem ab
iisdem sanctis viris conceptam, éxsequi státuit, sodálibus
quarto voto adstrictis manéndi in pignus sub paganórum potestate,
si pro Christianórum liberatióne opus fúerit. Quibus rex ipsa
arma sua regia in péctore deferre concessit, et a Gregório nono
illud tam præcellentis erga próximum caritátis institutum et
religiónem confírmari curávit. Sed et ipse Deus per Vírginem
Matrem increméntum dedit, ut talis institútio celerius ac
felicius totum per orbem divulgarétur, sanctisque viris florúerit
caritate ac pietáte insígnibus, qui eleemósynas a Christi
fidelibus collectas in prétium redemptiónis suórum proximórum
expénderent, seque ipsos intérdum darent in redemptiónem
multórum.

In the early part of the thirteenth century of the era of our
Lord, the greatest and fairest part of Spain lay crushed under
the yoke of the Saracens, and countless numbers of the faithful
were held in brutal slavery, with the most lively danger of
being made to deny the Christian faith and of losing everlasting
salvation. Amid such sorrows the most Blessed Queen of heaven
came mercifully to the rescue, and showed how the greatness of
her motherly love was fain for their redemption. Holy Peter
Nolasco, in the full bloom of the treasures of godliness as well
as rich in earthly wealth, was earnestly pondering with himself
how he could succour so many suffering Christians dwelling in
bondage to the Moors. To him appeared with gracious visage the
Most Blessed Virgin, and bade him know that it would be well
pleasing in her own sight, and in the sight of her Only-begotten
Son, that an Order of Religious men should be founded in her
honour, whose work it should be to redeem prisoners from
Mohammedan slavery. Strengthened by this heavenly vision, the man
of God began to burn with wonderful charity, nursing in his
heart the one desire that he himself and the Order which he
should found might exercise that love, greater than which hath
no man, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Upon the same night the same most holy Virgin appeared to the
Blessed Raymund de Penafuerte, and to James, King of Aragon,
charging them concerning the founding of the Order, and desiring
them to help in raising up so great a work. Peter betook himself
forthwith to the feet of Raymund, who was his confessor, and
laid the matter before him, whom also he found taught from
heaven, and to whose governance he right humbly submitted
himself. Then came King James, who appointed to carry out this
revelation, which himself also had received from the Most
Blessed Virgin. The three took counsel together, and all with
one consent entered upon the institution of an Order in honour
of the said Virgin Mother, to be placed under the invocation of
St. Mary of Ransom, for the redemption of captives.
Upon the 10th of August, in the year of our Lord 1218, the
above-named King James decreed the establishment of this Order,
thus already conceived by these holy men. The brethren take, in
addition to the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, a
fourth vow, whereby they bind themselves to remain in pawn with
the unbelievers, if need so require, for the liberation of
Christians. The King granted them the right to bear on their
breasts his own Royal blazon, and obtained from Gregory IX. the
confirmation of this Institute and Order so nobly marked by
brotherly charity. God Himself, through the Virgin Mother, gave
the increase, causing this Institute speedily and prosperously
to spread through all the world, and to blossom with holy men,
great in love and godliness, to spend in the redemption of their
neighbours the alms which are committed to them by Christ's
faithful people, to that end, and some whiles to give themselves
up for the ransom of many.
