Sweep remaining duplex-majus+ saints for missing Matins Gospel/homily

Follow-up to All Saints' own fix: audited every duplex-majus+ saint's
nocturn-readings file for a missing Nocturn 3 Gospel entry and checked
each of the 14 gaps found against the real historical source
(Divinum Officium, Monastic Tridentinum 1617 track).

Real Gospel+homily authored (4): Apparition of St. Michael (Matt
18:1-10 + St. Hilary of Poitiers), St. Barnabas (Matt 10:16-22 + St.
John Chrysostom), St. Bartholomew (Luke 6:12-19 + St. Ambrose).

Homily-only, Gospel citation is a bare incipit with no full text
recoverable anywhere in the reference source (2): St. Maurus, St.
Patrick.

Confirmed genuinely absent in the source, header comments corrected to
say so explicitly (8): Conversion of St. Paul, Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
Our Lady of Ransom, Ss. Placid and Companions, St. Ignatius of Loyola,
St. Luke, St. Mark, St. Scholastica.

+        Unless ye become as little children,” saith the Lord, “ye shall not enter into the kingdom
+        of heaven,” that is, unless by the uprooting of bodily and mental depravity, we bring our
+        souls to the innocency of childhood. But He giveth the name of children to all such as
+        believe by the hearing of faith. Children follow their father, love their mother, know not
+        how to wish evil to their neighbours, are not careful for earthly riches they insult not,
+        they hate not, they lie not, they believe what they are told, and take for truth what they
+        hear. Us then it behoveth to return to the simpleness of little children, for when we are
+        well rooted therein, we shall so far bear about in ourselves an image of the sublime
+        simpleness of the Lord Jesus.
+
+
+        Woe unto the world because of offences. The lowliness of the Passion is an offence unto the
+        world. Such is the state of stupidity to which man's ignorance hath reduced itself, that it
+        turneth away from the Lord of Eternal Glory, because of the unsightliness of the Cross. And
+        what is so certain to bring woe unto the world as to turn away from Christ. And therefore He
+        saith: "It must needs be that offences come," because His fulfilling the lowliness of the
+        Passion was the predestined mean whereby He was to give us eternal life.
+
+
+        Make heed that ye despise not one of these little ones that believe in Me. He hath laid on
+        us a most meet tie to constrain us to love one another, especially such as indeed believe in
+        the Lord. For I say unto you that in heaven their Angels do always behold the face of My
+        Father Which is in heaven. For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost. From
+        these words we see, first, that the Son of Man saveth secondly, that the Angels do see God
+        and thirdly, that the Angels of these little ones have the wardship over the prayers of the
+        faithful. That the Angels have this wardship is taught us absolutely. The Angels therefore
+        do every day offer to God the prayers which they which are saved do make to Him in the Name
+        of Christ. Therefore it is dangerous for a man to despise them, seeing that these are they by
+        whose watchful service and ministry, his wishes and requests are presented before the throne
+        of the eternal and unseen God.

+        When the Lord had cleared the minds of His disciples of all care, and had armed them
+        by showing forth His mighty works, had estranged them from all business of this
+        world, and freed them from all anxiety touching the things of time, moulding them
+        into a frame of iron-like, nay, diamondlike, hardness, then at length He told them of
+        the contendings against the which they were afterward to wrestle. By this foretelling
+        of things to come they were much holpen. First, they learnt the power of His
+        fore-knowledge. Then, they were guarded against all suspicion that these great
+        sorrows flowed from faultiness in their Master. Again, the future sufferers were made
+        safe from all trouble of being taken unawares. Lastly, seeing that they heard these
+        things at a time nigh to His own suffering, they were not over troubled.
+
+
+        And now, that they may understand how that this is a new kind of warfare, and an
+        unaccustomed manner of contending, when He sendeth them forth unarmed, providing
+        neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in their purses nor scrip for their journey,
+        neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves, left to the hospitality of
+        whosoever would receive them, He maketh not here an end to His discourse, but, in
+        manifestation of His unspeakable power, He biddeth them, so going, to show forth the
+        meekness of sheep, seeing they were about going unto wolves; neither simply unto
+        wolves, but in the very midst of wolves. Neither is it only the meekness of sheep
+        which He biddeth them have, but also the harmlessness of doves, that He might so much
+        the more gloriously display His power, when the sheep overcame the wolves. These are
+        the sheep which albeit they abide in the midst of wolves, and are mangled by many a
+        bite, not only are not destroyed, but do gradually make the wolves change their
+        nature, and become sheep themselves.
+
+
+        Beyond all doubt it is a greater and more marvellous thing to change the minds of
+        enemies, and to turn their thoughts round, than to kill them; more especially when
+        the work is to be done by only twelve sheep, and the whole world is full of the
+        wolves. Shame then upon us, whose deeds are so contrary, and who rather run like
+        wolves upon our enemies. For so long as we are sheep we conquer; yea, though a
+        thousand wolves be gathered round about us, we overcome, and are the conquerors; but
+        if we become wolves ourselves, then are we conquered. For then doth the Shepherd's
+        help forsake us, Who feedeth not wolves but sheep.

+        All they who go up into the mountain are the great and the aspiring. It is not to
+        every man that the Prophet saith: O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee
+        up into the high mountain, Thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy
+        voice with strength. Not with bodily feet, but by high deeds get thee up into this
+        mountain, and follow Christ, that thou mayest be a mountain thyself. Therefore it is
+        that thou findest in the Gospel that none but His disciples went up into the mountain
+        with the Lord. The Lord therefore prayeth, not to entreat anything for Himself, but
+        to obtain somewhat for me. For, albeit the Father had given the Son power over all
+        flesh, that He might give eternal life to as many as He had given Him, the Son
+        Himself, being found in fashion as a man, thinketh well to pray the Father on our
+        behalf, inasmuch as He is our Advocate with the Father.
+
+
+        And continued all night in prayer to God. Herein, O Christian, a pattern is set
+        before thee, an example is given thee, after the which thou oughtest to aspire. What
+        doth it not behove thee to do for thy salvation, when Christ spent an whole night in
+        prayer for the same? What doth it become thee to do, when thou willest some good
+        work, when Christ prayed before He sent forth His Apostles? He prayed first, and He
+        prayed alone. Neither, unless I am mistaken, do we anywhere find that He ever joined
+        in prayer with His disciples. He ever prayed alone. Human desires cannot grasp the
+        counsel of God, nor can any man, however spiritually minded, share the thoughts of
+        God.
+
+
+        The Evangelist continueth thus: And when it was day, He called unto Him His disciples
+        and of them He chose twelve whom He sent forth to help the salvation of men by sowing
+        the seed of the faith throughout the whole world. Consider here the counsel of
+        heaven. He chose out for His mission men, not wise, nor rich, nor noble, but fishermen
+        and publicans, lest He should seem to have converted any to His grace by skill, or
+        bought them with money, or drawn them by the power and authority of greatness, and
+        the simple force of the truth, not the charms of argument, might have the victory.

+        dedístis mihi manducáre: sitívi, et dedístis mihi bíbere.
+

+        fídei christiánæ mystériis initiáti, ópera fídei exercére contémnunt, quibus in judício

+        ángelis ejus: esurívi enim, et non dedístis mihi manducáre. Alterum eórum, qui fidem et

+        ætérnae tantúmmodo vitæ præmia suis sequácibus, sed et præséntis múnera pollicétur exímia.

+        aut uxórem, aut fílios, aut agros, propter nomen meum, céntuplum accípiet, et vitam

+        In the judgment to come, the elect will be in two classes. One class are they who have
+        forsaken all, and followed the Lord: and these shall judge along with Him. The other class
+        are they who have not equally forsaken all that they had, but who have been careful daily
+        to give alms of their goods to the poor of Christ: these shall be the subjects of judgment,
+        and these are they who shall then hear these words: "Come, ye blessed of My Father,
+        inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was an
+        hungered, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink." (Matth. xxv. 34, 35.)
+
+
+        Of the reprobate also we gather, from the words of the Lord, that there will be two
+        classes. One class are they who, being made partakers in the mystery of Christian faith,
+        have neglected to show their faith by their works: these are they to whom it will be said
+        at the judgment: "Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
+        and his angels: for I was an-hungered, and ye gave Me no meat." The other class are they
+        who either have never received the faith and mysteries of Christ, or who, having received,
+        have apostatised, and abandoned it: and touching these it is said: "But he that believeth
+        not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten
+        Son of God." (John iii. 18.)
+
+
+        And now that we have touched for a moment, with fear and just dread, upon these things,
+        let us rather turn our hearing to the right joyful promises of our Lord and Saviour. Let us
+        look what His so great, beautiful, and fatherly love will give to such as follow Him; not
+        the reward of life everlasting only, but gifts exceeding precious in this life also. "Every
+        one," saith He, "that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
+        or wife, or children, or lands, for My Name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall
+        inherit everlasting life." For every one that shall forsake earthly affections and goods,
+        to go and be Christ's disciple, the further he goeth on in Christ's love, the more shall he
+        find who will rejoice to give him a place in their hearts, and to minister to him of their
+        substance.

+        Dearly beloved brethren, this Lesson from the Holy Gospel moveth us to take good heed lest
+        we, who are seen in this world to have received more than others, should thereby bring
+        ourselves into greater condemnation from the Maker of this world. To whom much is given,
+        of the same is much required. Therefore, let him that receiveth much, strive to be all the
+        more lowly, and all the more ready to do God service, for his very gifts' sake, knowing
+        that he will be obliged to give account thereof. Behold, a man, travelling into a far
+        country, calleth his own servants, and delivereth unto them talents, to the end that they
+        may trade therewith. After a long time, the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth
+        with them, and to them that have done well He rendereth a reward of their labours, but that
+        servant which was careless of his master's work He condemneth.
+
+
+        What other, then, is that man travelling into a far country but our Redeemer, Who is gone
+        up from us into heaven in that Flesh Which He had taken into Himself? For the earth is the
+        home of the Flesh, Which travelleth into a far country when our Redeemer giveth It a place
+        in heaven. But that man travelling into a far country delivered unto his servants his
+        goods and so doth our Redeemer give spiritual gifts unto His faithful people. "And unto
+        one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one." There are five bodily
+        senses that is, sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. By the five talents therefore are
+        signified the five senses, that is, outward knowledge. By the two, wit and work. And by the
+        figure of the one talent, understanding, which is alone.
+
+
+        And so he that had received five talents, gained other five talents for some there be who,
+        while yet they are not able to go on unto things inward and mystic, do yet so desire our
+        Fatherland which is above, that they teach well all whom they can, and of those very
+        outward things which they have received make gain double. These are they which keep
+        themselves clean from the unruly motions of the flesh, and from the lust of the world, and
+        from the delight of things which are seen, and, by their preaching, keep other men also
+        clean from all these things. And some there are who receive, as their two talents, the
+        power to think and the power to work. These are they which inwardly understand dark
+        things, and outwardly work wonders. And these, since they preach unto others, both through
+        their understanding and their works, gain, as it were, double, for the talents which they
+        have received.
