Add November Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints

14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All
Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast
with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available
English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St.
Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out
Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.

+# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for All Saints of the Benedictine Order
+# (Nov 13) — a genuine Monastic-only feast: no `Sancti/11-13*.txt`
+# names it at all (the general Tridentine calendar's own Nov 13 is a
+# different, later saint, St. Didacus); its own content exists only at
+# web/www/horas/Latin/SanctiM/11-13M.txt (a rare case where an
+# English/SanctiM translation also exists, unlike most of this pass's
+# genuinely Monastic-only saints — see memory vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
+# Nocturn 1 (Lectio1-4) falls back to Common of Several Confessors, not
+# proper text, so not authored here.
+#
+# Nocturn 2: Lectio5-8 (St. John Damascene's excerpt from the Life of
+# Barlaam and Josaphat, praising the saints generally) combined into
+# one reading, one continuous excerpt. One garbled character in the
+# Latin source ("exsultࢱtio") silently corrected to "exsultátio" in
+# transcription.
+# Nocturn 3: Lectio9's Gospel citation (Matt 19:27-29) is a bare
+# incipit ("Et réliqua") with no full pericope text given, so — per
+# the pre-1955 pass's convention of not transcribing bare incipits —
+# only the homily portion is authored (not marked isGospel), combined
+# with Lectio10-12 as one continuous excerpt of St. Bernard's own
+# sermon on St. Benedict. No responsory given for either reading.

+        ómnia pro níhilo duxérunt. Síquidem lácrimas profudérunt, diéque ac nocte in luctu
+        versáti sunt, ut perpétuam consolatiónem adisceréntur: seípsos ultro depressérunt, ut

+        illic paradísis delíciæ et exsultátio ipsos excíperent.
+
+
+        Spíritus Sancti tabernáculum per cordis puritátem exstitérunt, quemádmodum scriptum
+        est: Inhabitábo in ipsis et inambulábo. Seípsis mundo crucifixérunt, ut ad Christi
+        déxteram starent: lumbos suos in veritáte succinxérunt, atque in promptu semper
+        lámpades habuérunt, immortális Sponsi advéntum expectántes. Nam, cum mentis óculis
+        prǽditi essent, hórrendum illum diem semper prospiciébant, atque tum futurórum

+        cómpotes essent: perturbatiónum expértes, non secus atque Angeli fuérunt, ac nunc cum
+        illis, quorum vitam imitáti sunt, choréas agunt.

+        nec morte interrúmpitur, arripuérunt.

+        infirmitátis nostræ ac míseræ facultátis módulo eórum vitam exprímus; atque

+        Blessed, yea, thrice blessed, are they that have them loved God, and, for his love's
+        sake, have counted their suffering as nothing worth. For they wept and here mourned,
+        day and night, that they might gain glory and everlasting comfort: they humbled
+        themselves after willingly, that there they might be exalted: they afflicted the flesh
+        with hunger and thirst and vigil, that there they might come to the pleasures and joys
+        of Paradise.
+
+
+        By their purity of heart they became a tabernacle of the Holy Ghost, as it is
+        written, I will dwell in them and walk in them. They crucified themselves unto the
+        world, that they might stand at the right hand of the Crucified: they girt their loins
+        with truth, and alway had their lamps ready, looking for the coming of the immortal
+        bridegroom. The eye of their mind being enlightened, they continually looked forward
+        to that awful hour, and kept the contemplation of future happiness and everlasting
+        punishment immovable from their hearts, and pained themselves to labour, that they
+        might not lose eternal glory. They became passionless as the Angels, and now they
+        weave the dance in their fellowship, whose lives also they imitated.
+
+
+        Blessed, yea, thrice blessed are they, because with sure spiritual vision they
+        discerned the vanity of this present world and the uncertainty and inconstancy of
+        mortal fortune, and cast it aside, and laid up for themselves everlasting blessings,
+        and laid hold of that life which never faileth, nor is broken by death.
+
+
+        These then are the marvellous holy men whose examples we, that are poor and vile,
+        strive to imitate, but cannot attain to the high level of the life of these heavenly
+        citizens. Nevertheless, so far as is possible for our weakness and feeble power, we
+        take this assurance, that this holy profession is a means to perfection and an aid to
+        the incorruption given us by holy baptism.

+        Modo útique, fratres, audístis in Evangélio promitténtem Dóminum et dicéntem
+        discípulis: Sedébitis super sedes, judicántes duódecim tribus Israël. Ecce quies
+        sessiónis et honor judícii. Nam et ipse Dóminus ad hæc nóluit perveníre, nisi per
+        humilitátem et labórem. Unde et morte turpíssima condemnátus est, interrogátus
+        torméntis, et oppróbriis saturátus: útique ut inimícus induátur confusióne, ipse
+        páriter et omnes, qui imitántur eum, et prætergrediúntur viam. Ipse est, o iníque,
+        ipse est, qui sessúrus est in sede majestátis suæ símilis Altíssimo, et coaltíssimus
+        ei. Hoc útique cogitavérunt Angeli sancti, qui, cadénte malígno, apostasíæ illíus
+        non consensérunt, nobis relinquéntes exémplum, ut, quemádmodum ipsi elegérunt
+        ministráre, sic et nos faciámus.
+
+
+        Qui enim labórem fúgiunt et honórem captant, illum se nóverint imitári, qui
+        sessiónem altitudinémque quæsívit: et si non satis terret eos illíus culpa, térreat
+        vel vindícta. Ad hæc vitánda prudéntiam nobis reliquérunt Sancti Dei, qui profécto
+        sedébunt; ipsi, inquam, vermículi terræ judicántes sedébunt. Nescítis, ait
+        Apóstolus, quia et Angelos judicábimus? Ipsi útique, qui ibant et flebant, mitténtes
+        sémina sua, veniéntes autem vénient cum exsultatióne, portántes manípulos suos. Qui
+        seminavérunt labórem et vilitátem, metent honórem páriter et quiétem. Pro
+        confusiónem enim sua dúplici et labóre, in terra sua duplícia possidébunt. Unde et
+        dicébat quidam: Vide humilitátem meam et labórem meum.
+
+
+        Non solum autem ipsa vita, sed et promíssio vitæ ætérnæ et expectátio justórum,
+        lætítia est, et tanta lætítia, ut omne, quod concupíscitur, ei non váleat
+        comparári. Hanc quoque prudéntiam nobis Apóstoli sancti seminavérunt, quando,
+        recedéntibus his, qui sapiéntiam hujus mundi sequebántur, quæ stultítia est apud
+        Deum, et prudéntiam carnis, quæ mortem operátur et inimíca est Deo; ipsi Dómino
+        adhæsérunt. Mártyres vero maniféstum est fortitúdinem seminásse. Porro Confessóres
+        sectáti sunt justítiam in omni vita sua.
+
+
+        Hac doctrína nos étiam ínstruit noster cæléstis pater, dux, magíster et légifer
+        Benedíctus, et dírigit gressus nostros in viam pacis. Porro vitæ justítia omníno
+        róborat et ánimat nos, ut tanto magis accendámur ad agénda quæ dócuit, quanto certi
+        sumus eum non ália docuísse quam fécerit. Sermo quidem vivus et éfficax, exemplum
+        óperis est, plúrimum fáciens suadíbile quod dícitur, dum monstrat factíbile quod
+        suadétur. In hunc ergo modum sánctitas confórtat, pietátis infórmat, justítia
+        confírmat. Quantæ enim pietátis fuit, quod non solum præséntibus prófuit, sed et pro
+        futúris sollícitus fuit? Pascit vita, pascit doctrína, pascit intercessióne. Per
+        quam incessánter adjúti, fructificáte et vos, caríssimi, quóniam in hoc pósiti
+        estis, ut eátis et fructum afferátis. Imitémur et hunc; quóniam ad hoc venit, ut
+        formam nobis tráderet, et viam demonstráret.
+      en: >-
+        Brethren, you have just heard our Lord making a promise to His disciples, saying to
+        them: You shall sit on seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Behold, the
+        restfulness of being seated and the honour of passing judgment are promised. Now our
+        Lord Himself was unwilling to receive these rewards except by humility and labour.
+        Wherefore He was condemned to a most shameful death, loaded with torments, filled with
+        opprobrium. So has He done, together with all who imitate Him in journeying on the
+        way, in order that the enemy might be confounded. He it is, O wicked creature, He it
+        is who will be seated on the throne of His Majesty, like to the Most High and equal to
+        Him. The angels considered this when, at the fall of the evil one, they did not
+        consent to his apostasy, thereby leaving us an example that as they chose to serve, so
+        should we.
+
+
+        Let those who fly labour and seek honour know that they imitate him who sought for
+        himself power and majesty; and if the devil's crime does not terrify them, his
+        punishment should. The saints of God, who indeed will be seated in judgment, have
+        given us an example of prudence in avoiding these vices. They, I say, in their own
+        esteem wretched worms of the earth, will sit in judgment. Do you not know, says the
+        Apostle, that we shall judge even the angels? They indeed who went forth weeping,
+        sowing their seed, will come with joy carrying their sheaves. They who have sown
+        labour and humility reap honour and rest. Because for their double confusion and
+        shame they will receive double in their land. Wherefore also a certain one has said:
+        Behold my lowliness and sorrow.
+
+
+        Not only that life itself, but also the promise of eternal life and the eager
+        anticipation of it, are a joy for the just, and a joy so great that anything to be
+        desired cannot be compared with it. This too the holy Apostles sowed for us as
+        prudence, when, as those who followed the wisdom of this world (which is indeed
+        foolishness in God's sight) and the prudence of the flesh (which worketh death and is
+        inimical to God) withdrew from Christ, they themselves clung to our Lord. Manifestly,
+        the martyrs sowed fortitude; the confessors followed justice throughout their lives.
+
+
+        Our heavenly father, guide, master, and lawgiver Benedict, also instructs us in this
+        doctrine and directs our steps along the way of peace. Moreover, he strengthens and
+        animates us for a life of justice in such a way that we are so much the more impelled
+        to practice what he taught as we are certain that he taught not otherwise than he
+        acted. The example of works is indeed a living and effective sermon, since it makes
+        what is spoken most persuasive, showing that that which is urged is possible. In this
+        regard his sanctity comforts us, his piety instructs us, his justice strengthens us.
+        With what great piety was he not animated who provided not only for his children
+        present, but was also solicitous for those of the future! He nourishes us by his life,
+        his teaching, and by his intercession. Being always thus helped, dearly beloved,
+        become fruitful; since for this were you appointed, that you should go and bring forth
+        fruit. Let us imitate him, because for this end he came, that he might give us the
+        example and show us the way.

+        Dearly beloved brethren: This day we keep, with one great cry of joy, a Feast in memory
+        of all God's holy children; His children, whose presence is a gladness to heaven; His
+        children, whose prayers are a blessing to earth; His children, whose victories are the
+        crown of the Holy Church; His chosen, whose testifying is the more glorious in honour,
+        as the agony in which it was given was the sterner in intensity, for as the dreader
+        grew the battle, so the grander grew the fighters, and the triumph of martyrdom waxed
+        the more incisive by the multiplicity of suffering, and the heavier the torment the
+        heavier the prize. And it is our Mother, the Catholic Church, spread far and wide
+        throughout all this planet, it is she that hath learnt, in Christ Jesus her Head, not to
+        fear shame, nor cross, nor death, but hath waxed lealer and lealer, and, not by
+        fighting, but by enduring, hath breathed into all that noble band who have come up to
+        the bitter starting-post the hope of conquest and glory which hath warmed them manfully
+        to accept the race.
+
+
+        If a verity thou art blessed, O my Mother the Church! The blaze of God's mercy beateth
+        full upon thee; thine adornment is the glorious blood of victorious Martyrs, and thy
+        raiment the virgin whiteness of untarnished orthodoxy; thy garlands lack neither roses
+        nor lilies. And now, dearly beloved brethren, let each one of us strive to gain the
+        goodly crown of one sort or the other, either the glistening whiteness of purity, or
+        the red dye of suffering. In the army in heaven peace and war have both chaplets of
+        their own, to crown Christ's soldiers withal.
+
+
+        Moreover, to this also hath the unutterable and boundless goodness of God seen, that
+        He spreadeth not the time of working and wrestling, neither maketh it long, nor
+        everlasting, and, as it were, but for a moment, so that in this short and scanty life
+        there is wrestling and working, but the crown and the prize is in a life which is
+        eternal. So the work is soon over, but the wage is paid for ever. And when the night of
+        this world is over, the Saints are to see the clearness of the essential light, and to
+        receive a blessedness outweighing the pangs of any torment, as testifieth the Apostle
+        Paul, where he saith: The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
+        with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

+        Among the hallowed places which have from of old time been held in honour among
+        Christians, the most famous and sought after were those where the bodies of the
+        Saints were buried, or where there was some trace or token of the Martyrs. Among
+        these spots so hallowed hath been ever among the most noteworthy that place on the
+        Vatican Hill which is called the Confession of St. Peter. Thither Christians do come
+        from all parts of the earth as unto the rock of faith and the foundation-stone of the
+        Church, and surround with godly reverence and love the spot hallowed by the grave of
+        the Prince of the Apostles.
+
+
+        Whither came the Emperor Constantine the Great upon the eighth day after his Baptism,
+        and, taking off his crown, cast himself down upon the ground, and wept abundantly.
+        Then presently he took a spade and pick-axe, and began to break up the earth,
+        whereof he carried away twelve baskets-full in honour of the twelve Apostles, and
+        built a Church upon that spot, appointed for the Cathedral Church of the Prince of
+        the Apostles. This Church was hallowed by holy Pope Silvester, in like manner as he
+        had hallowed the Church of the Lateran. In this Church did the Pope set up an altar
+        of stone, and pour ointment thereon, and ordain that from thenceforth no altars
+        should be set up, save of stone.
+
+
+        The same Emperor Constantine likewise built a very stately Church upon the road to
+        Ostia, in honour of the holy Apostle Paul, which Church also was hallowed by the
+        blessed Sylvester. These Churches the Emperor enriched by grants of much land, and
+        adorned with exceedingly rich gifts. So great was this Emperor's zeal for religion
+        that, having destroyed the temples of idols, he built churches in many places
+        throughout the earth, and especially at Rome, among which were the Basilica of the
+        Holy Cross at Jerusalem in the Sessorian estate, that of St. Lawrence outside the
+        walls in the Verano field, that of Ss. Peter and Marcellinus on the Lavican Way, and
+        very many others.

+        If we would be truly wise, and behold wisdom herself, we must humbly acknowledge
+        ourselves to be fools. Let us cast away harmful wisdom, and learn praiseworthy folly.
+        For this reason indeed is it written: God hath chosen the foolish things of the
+        world, to confound the wise. And again it is said: If any man among you seemeth to be
+        wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. And unto this doth
+        the very Gospel bear witness, wherein it is said that Zacchaeus sought to see Jesus,
+        Who He was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran
+        before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him; for He was to pass that way.
+        For this name Sycamore, being interpreted, signifieth the Foolish Fig.
+
+
+        Little Zacchaeus therefore accepted the humiliation of having recourse to the
+        sycamore and saw the Lord. They who humbly choose to be fools in the estimation of
+        the world, have a deep insight into the wisdom of God. The press standeth in our way,
+        on account of our little stature, when we are fain to see the Lord; for the toilsome
+        din of worldly business tormenteth our weak minds, so as to hinder our perceiving the
+        light of the truth. But we climb up wisely into the sycamore tree, if we willingly
+        give up our minds to that folly which God giveth unto us. What can be more utter
+        folly in this world than not to seek for that we have lost, to leave that whereof we
+        have been robbed in the hands of our despoilers, to take no revenge for wrongs which
+        have been done us, yea, even to offer to him that taketh away our cloak, our coat
+        also, and be patient?
+
+
+        The Lord biddeth us, as it were, to climb up into the sycamore, where He saith: Of
+        him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again. And again: Whosoever shall smite
+        thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. From the boughs of this sycamore
+        tree, the Lord is seen passing by. He may indeed, as yet, not be seen face to face,
+        but by this wise folly the inward eye may see the Wisdom of God, as it were, passing
+        by, even that Wisdom Which they that are wise in their own conceit cannot see. They
+        are mixed up in the overbearing press of their own imaginations, and have not yet
+        found the sycamore tree whereinto to climb up, if they would see the Lord.

+        The Apostle Andrew was born at Bethsaida, a town of Galilee, and was the brother of
+        Peter. He was a disciple of John the Baptist, and heard him say of Christ, Behold the
+        Lamb of God, whereupon he immediately followed Jesus, bringing his brother also with
+        him. Some while after, they were both fishing in the Sea of Galilee, and the Lord
+        Christ, going by, called them both, before any other of the Apostles, in the words,
+        Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. They made no delay, but left their
+        nets, and followed Him. After the death and Resurrection of Christ, Andrew was
+        allotted Scythia as the province of his preaching, and, after labouring there, he
+        went through Epirus and Thrace, where he turned vast multitudes to Christ by his
+        teaching and miracles. Finally he went to Patras in Achaia, and there also he
+        brought many to the knowledge of Gospel truth. Aegeas the Pro-consul resisted the
+        preaching of the Gospel, and the Apostle freely rebuked him, bidding him know that
+        while he held himself a judge of his fellow men, he was himself hindered by devils
+        from knowing Christ our God, the Judge of all.
+
+
+        Then Egeas, being angry, answered him, Boast no more of this thy Christ. He spake
+        words even such as thine, but they availed Him not, and He was crucified by the
+        Jews. Whereto Andrew boldly answered that Christ had given Himself up to die for
+        man's salvation; but the Pro-consul blasphemously interrupted him, and bade him look
+        to himself, and sacrifice to the gods. Then said Andrew, We have an altar, whereon
+        day by day I offer up to God, the Almighty, the One, and the True, not the flesh of
+        bulls nor the blood of goats, but a Lamb without spot; and when all they that believe
+        have eaten of the Flesh Thereof, the Lamb That was slain abideth whole and liveth.
+        Then Aegeas being filled with wrath, bound the Apostle in prison. Now, the people
+        would have delivered him, but he himself calmed the multitude, and earnestly
+        besought them not to take away from him the crown of martyrdom, for which he longed
+        and which was now drawing near.
+
+
+        Come a short while after, he was brought before the judgment-seat, where he
+        extolled the mystery of the cross, and rebuked Aegeas for his ungodliness. Then
+        Aegeas could bear with him no longer, but commanded him to be crucified, in
+        imitation of Christ. Andrew, then, was led to the place of martyrdom, and, as soon
+        as he came in sight of the cross, he cried out, O precious cross, which the Members
+        of my Lord have made so goodly, how long have I desired thee! how warmly have I
+        loved thee! how constantly have I sought thee! And, now that thou art come to me, how
+        is my soul drawn to thee! Welcome me from among men, and join me again to my Master,
+        that as by thee He redeemed me, so by thee also He may take me unto Himself. So he
+        was fastened to the cross, whereon he hung living for two days, during which time he
+        ceased not to preach the faith of Christ, and, finally, passed into the Presence of
+        Him the likeness of Whose death he had loved so well. Under the Emperor Constantine
+        the bones of the Apostle were first taken to Constantinople, whence they were
+        afterwards brought to Amalfi. In the Pontificate of Pope Pius II his head was carried
+        to Rome, where it is kept in the Basilica of St. Peter.

+        Cæcília, Virgo Romana, nobili genere nata, a prima ætate christianæ fidei præceptis

+        Cecilia was a Roman maiden of noble birth, trained up from her earliest years in the
+        teaching of the Christian faith, and who by vow consecrated her virginity to God. She
+        was afterwards given in marriage, against her will, to Valerian. On the first night
+        she said to him: Valerian! I am under the wardship of an Angel, who keepeth me always
+        a maiden. Therefore do nothing unto me, lest the anger of God should be aroused
+        against thee. Valerian was moved at her words, and dared not to touch her. Also he
+        added even this, that he would believe in Christ, if he could see the Angel. Cecilia
+        answered him that that could not be unless he were first baptized, and for the sake
+        of seeing the Angel he was willing. So she bade him go unto Pope Urban, who was hiding
+        in the sepulchre of the Martyrs on the Appian Way on account of the persecution. And
+        he went unto him and was baptized.
+
+
+        Whence he came back to Cecilia, and found her praying, and the Angel with her,
+        shining from the glory of God. As soon as he had recovered from the shock of wonder
+        and fear, he brought his brother Tiburtius, and Cecilia taught him Christ, and he was
+        baptized by the same Pope Urban, and he also was vouchsafed to see the Angel whom his
+        brother had seen. A little while after, both of them bravely suffered martyrdom under
+        the Praefect Almachius, who then caused Cecilia to be taken, and asked of her, first
+        of all, where was the property of Tiburtius and Valerian?
+
+
+        To him the Virgin answered that all their goods had been given to the poor.

+        could not cut off her head, left her half-dead. Three days thereafter, in the reign
+        of the Emperor Alexander Severus, she winged her flight for heaven, glorified with

+        Callistus by the aforenamed Pope Urban, who also consecrated a Church in her name in

+        Chrysogonus was imprisoned at Rome in the reign of the Emperor Diocletian. There he

+        images of devils, them I hate and curse. Then was the Emperor kindled to fury at this

+        Clement, the son of Faustinus, was a Roman, from the quarter of the Coelian Mount. He
+        was a disciple of the blessed Peter, and is the same concerning whom Paul saith,
+        writing to the Philippians: And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those
+        women which laboured with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and with other my
+        fellow-labourers, whose names are written in the book of life. He it was who divided
+        the seven quarters of the city among seven scribes, one to each, whose duty it was to
+        search out most carefully, and record in writing the sufferings and acts of the
+        Martyrs. He himself also wrote much, and that most orthodox and healthy, whereby he
+        clearly explained the Christian Religion.
+
+
+        His teaching and the holiness of his life brought many to believe in Christ, and he
+        was therefore exiled by the Emperor Trajan to Kherson, in the Crimea, where he found
+        two thousand Christians, who had been condemned by the same Trajan. There they all
+        worked in the marble quarries. During their labour they suffered for want of water,
+        and Clement prayed, and then went up an hill hard by, on the top whereof he saw a
+        Lamb standing, touching with its right foot a flowing spring of sweet waters.
+        Therewith they all quenched their thirst, and by this miracle many unbelievers were
+        brought to believe in Christ, and began to honour the holiness of Clement.
+
+
+        These things moved Trajan to send a messenger to the Crimea, who tied an anchor
+        about Clement's neck, and cast him into the deep of the sea. After it had been done,
+        while the Christians were praying on the shore, the sea went back three miles, and
+        when they followed it, they found a grotto of marble, in form like a temple, and
+        therein a stone coffin wherein was laid the body of the Martyr. A Church was also
+        built in the place where God had made the water to break forth. Clement lived as
+        Pope nine years, six months, and six days. He held two Ordinations in the month of
+        December, wherein he made ten Priests, two Deacons, and fifteen Bishops for diverse
+        places.

+        Martin was born at Todi in Tuscany. At the beginning of his Popedom, he was careful to
+        send an embassage with letters to Paul, Patriarch of Constantinople, to call upon him
+        to return to the truth of the Catholic faith from the blasphemous heresy of the
+        Monothelites. But Paul, being backed up by the heretic Emperor Constans, had become so
+        rabid, that he sent away the messengers of the Apostolic See into diverse places in
+        the islands. This crime moved the Pope to gather together at Rome a council of
+        one-hundred-and-five Bishops, by whom Paul was condemned.
+
+
+        Thereupon Constans sent Olympius into Italy as Exarch, straitly commanding him either
+        to slay Pope Martin, or else to bring him into his Imperial presence. Olympius
+        therefore came to Rome and bade a lictor to kill the Pope while as he was celebrating
+        the Liturgy solemnly in the Cathedral Church of St Mary-at-the-Manger. But when the
+        lictor went thither, he was struck with blindness.
+
+
+        From that time forth many evils befell the Emperor Constans; but he repented not. He
+        sent the Exarch Theodore Calliopas to Rome, with command to lay hands on the Pope. By
+        him Martin was treacherously taken, brought to Constantinople, and sent to the Crimea.
+        There his sufferings for the Catholic faith utterly broke him down, and he left this
+        life for a better, famous for miracles. His body was afterwards brought back to Rome
+        and buried in the Church dedicated under the names of St. Silvester and St. Martin (of

+        When the Lord, as we read in the Evangelist, asked His disciples: Who did men, amid
+        their diverse speculations, believe that He, the Son of Man, was; blessed Peter
+        answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered
+        and said unto him: Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
+        revealed it unto thee, but My Father, Which is in heaven: and I say also unto thee,
+        that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell
+        shall not prevail against it; and I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
+        heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and
+        whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Thus therefore
+        standeth the ordinance of the Truth, and blessed Peter, abiding still that firm rock
+        which God hath made him, hath never lost that right to rule in the Church which God
+        hath given unto him.
+
+
+        In the universal Church it is Peter that doth still say every day, Thou art the
+        Christ, the Son of the living God, and every tongue which confesseth that Jesus is
+        Lord is taught that confession by the teaching of Peter. This is the faith that
+        overcometh the devil and looseth the bands of his prisoners. This is the faith which
+        maketh men free of the world and bringeth them to heaven, and the gates of hell are
+        impotent to prevail against it. With such ramparts of salvation hath God fortified
+        this rock, that the contagion of heresy will never be able to infect it, nor idolatry
+        and unbelief to overcome it. This teaching it is, my dearly beloved brethren, which
+        maketh the keeping of this Feast to-day to be our reasonable service, even the

+        who is still entrusted with the care of all other shepherds and of all the flocks to
+        them committed, and whose authority I have, albeit unworthy to be his heir.
+
+
+        When therefore, we address our exhortations to your godly ears, believe ye that ye are
+        hearing him speak whose office we are discharging. Yea, it is with his love for you
+        that we warn you, and we preach unto you no other thing than that which he taught,
+        entreating you that ye would gird up the loins of your mind and lead pure and sober
+        lives in the fear of God. My disciples dearly beloved, ye are to me, as the disciples
+        of the Apostle Paul were to him, a crown and a joy, if your faith, which, in the first
+        times of the Gospel, was spoken of throughout the whole world, abide still lovely and

+

+        Martin was born at Sabaria in Pannonia. When he was ten years old he went to the
+        Church, in the spite of his heathen father and mother, and by his own will was
+        numbered among the Catechumens. At fifteen years of age he joined the army, and
+        served as a soldier first under Constantius and then under Julian. Once at the gate of
+        Amiens a poor man asked him for an alms for Christ's name's sake, and since he had
+        nothing to his hand but his arms and his clothes, he gave him half of his cloak. In the
+        night following Christ appeared to him clad in the half of his cloak, and saying (to
+        the angels who bare Him company): While Martin is yet a Catechumen, he hath clad Me in
+        this garment.
+
+
+        At eighteen years of age he was baptized. He gave up thereupon the life of a soldier,
+        and betook himself to Hilary, Bishop of Poietiers, by whom he was placed in the order of
+        Acolytes. Being afterwards made Bishop of Tours, he built a monastery wherein he lived
+        in holiness for a while in company of four-score monks. At the last he fell sick of a
+        grievous fever at Cande, a village in his diocese, and besought God in constant prayer
+        to set him free from the prison of this dying body. His disciples heard him and said:
+        Father, why wilt thou go away from us? unto whom wilt thou bequeath us in our sorrow?
+        Their words moved Martin, and he said: Lord, if I be still needful to thy people, I
+        refuse not to work.
+
+
+        When his disciples saw him, in the height of the fever, lying upon his back and
+        praying, they entreated him to turn over and take a little rest upon his side while
+        the violence of his sickness would allow him. But Martin answered them: Suffer me to
+        look heavenward rather than earthward, that my spirit may see the way whereby it is so
+        soon going to the Lord. At the moment of death he saw the enemy of mankind, and cried
+        out: What are you come here for, you bloody brute? You murderer, you'll find nothing in
+        me. With these words on his lips, he gave up his soul to God, being aged eighty years.
+        He was received by a company of Angels, who were heard praising God by many persons,
+        especially by holy Severinus, Bishop of Cologne.

+        In that which goeth before, Christ hath set the Church before the synagogue, and He
+        exhorteth us rather to trust in the Church. The candle is faith, even as it is
+        written: thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Our faith is the
+        word of God. The word of God is light. Faith is the candle. It is written concerning
+        the Word of God, that That was the true Light, Which lighteth every man that cometh
+        into this world. But a candle cannot shine, unless it be lighted from some other fire.
+
+
+        Also it is written: What woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,
+        doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
+        And here the candle lighted to find the lost piece is the strength in our
+        understandings and affections. Let no man therefore seek faith under the law. For the
+        law is by measure, but grace without measure; the law overshadoweth, but grace
+        enlighteneth. And therefore let no man shut up his faith within the measure of the
+        law, but give it unto the Church, wherein shineth the sevenfold grace of the Spirit,
+        and whereon the Divine glory of the Great High Priest doth strike from heaven, lest the
+        shadow of the law should rest any more at all upon her. Under the old law there was
+        the sevenfold lamp which the Priest of the Jews lighted every morning and every
+        evening, and this was as it were a candle put under a bushel. That Jerusalem which is
+        upon earth, that Jerusalem which killed the Prophets, lieth hid, as it were, in a dark
+        place in the valley of tears. But that Jerusalem which is in heaven, whereof by faith
+        we are soldiers, is a city set upon the highest of all mountains, even upon Christ.
+        Her the darkness and tempests of earth cannot hide, but she blazeth with the glory of
+        the Eternal Sun, and maketh to fall upon us the light of spiritual grace.

+        This Peter succeeded that eminent Saint, Theonas, as Pope of Alexandria, and the

+        the persecution under Maximian Galerius caused many greatly to increase in Christian
+        graces. He was the first who cut off Arius, then a Deacon of Alexandria, from the
+        Communion of the faithful, on account of his leaning to the Meletian schism. He was
+        condemned to death by Maximian, and was in prison when there came to him the two

+        thereby signified, had said unto him: Arius hath torn My vesture, which is the
+        Church. Also, he foretold to them that they should be Popes of Alexandria after him,

+        people by his prayers, his example, and his sermons.

+        At the funeral of a certain nobleman he perceived in an open grave the disfigured
+        corpse of a kinsman of his own who had been very comely in his lifetime, and he said
+        to himself, I am what he was, and what he is I shall be. Straightway after the funeral
+        he read the words of the Lord, If any man will come after Me let him deny himself and
+        take up his cross and follow Me. Thereupon he withdrew into the desert to seek after
+        greater perfection, and then gave himself up to watching, praying, and fasting, very
+        often taking no food but uncooked herbs. In order, however, to cut himself off the
+        more from men, he moved from one place to another, and at length came to Mount Fano,
+        which is hard by Fabriano, but was itself then absolutely uninhabited. Then he built a
+        church in honour of the holy Father Benedict, and founded the congregation of
+        Silvestrians, with a rule and dress which were revealed to him in a vision by the holy
+        Patriarch himself.

+        Satan envied him, strove to trouble his monks by diverse terrors, and made an hostile
+        attack by night upon the gates of his monastery, but the man of God so overcame the
+        assault of the enemy that his monks were the more confirmed in their Institute and
+        recognised the holiness of their father. He shone with the spirit of prophecy and
+        other gifts. These things he always preserved by the deepest lowliness, whereby he so
+        stirred up against him the ill-will of the devil that that evil spirit cast him
+        headlong down the stairs of his oratory, and went near to slay him, but he was
+        restored to soundness by the helpful gift of the Virgin. This help he remembered with
+        an unceasing and singular love toward her until the last breath of his life, the
+        which breath he resigned to God, famous for holiness and miracles, aged almost ninety
+        years, upon the 26th day of November, in the year of salvation 1267. The Supreme
+        Pontiff Leo XIII extended his Office and Mass to the whole Church.
