Add December Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints, completing the pass
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m7s

13 of December's 15 SanctiM-track saints authored (st-bibiana, st-nicholas,
st-ambrose, immaculate-conception, st-damasus, st-lucy, st-thomas-apostle,
st-stephen-protomartyr, st-john-apostle, holy-innocents, st-thomas-becket,
st-silvester-i, st-eusebius-of-vercelli); st-barbara and st-melchiades left
unauthored as Common-only. This is the twelfth and final month of the
SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints' Matins readings pass — 129 saints
authored across the whole year.

Adding St. Eusebius of Vercelli's content surfaces a 3rd Matins lesson on
the existing Advent III Tuesday proof date (Dec 15 falls under his
commemoration); updated matins.test.ts accordingly — the "commemorations
get their own reading" design working as intended, not a regression.

# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for the Immaculate Conception (Dec 8) —
# SanctiM/12-08.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/12-08`) with no
# Nocturn 2/3 override, so this feast's own proper content is sourced
# from the Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see
# memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/12-08.txt, English/Sancti/12-08.txt.
#
# Nocturn 2 has two genuinely distinct sources kept as separate
# readings: Lectio4-5 (St. Jerome's sermon on the Assumption, applied
# here to the Conception, one continuous piece) and Lectio6 (the Acts
# of Pope Pius IX defining the dogma in 1854) — a real source and
# topic change, not a split-for-length case.
# Nocturn 3: Lectio7's Gospel citation (Luke 1:26-28) is a bare
# incipit ("Et réliqua") with no full pericope text given, so — per
# the established convention of not transcribing bare incipits — only
# the homily portion is authored (not marked isGospel), St. Germain of
# Constantinople's homily on the Presentation (Lectio7's homily +
# Lectio8-9 combined, one continuous piece).

Qualis et quanta esset beáta et gloriósa semper Virgo María, ab Angelo divínitus
declarátur, cum dícitur: Ave, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus.
Tálibus namque decébat Vírginem oppignorári munéribus, ut esset grátia plena, quæ
dedit cælis glóriam, terris Dóminum, pacémque refúdit, fidem géntibus, finem vítiis,
vitæ órdinem, móribus disciplínam. Et bene plena, quia céteris per partes præstátur;
Maríæ vero simul se tota infúdit plenitúdo grátiæ. Vere plena, quia etsi in sanctis
Pátribus et Prophétis grátia fuísse créditur, non tamen eátenus plena; in Maríam vero
totíus grátiæ, quæ in Christo est, plenitúdo venit, quamquam áliter. Et ídeo inquit:
Benedícta tu in muliéribus; id est plus benedícta quam omnes mulíeres. Ac per hoc
quidquid maledictiónis infúsum est per Hevam, totum ábstulit benedíctio Maríæ. De
ipsa Sálomon in Cánticis, quasi in laudem ejus, Veni, inquit, colúmba mea, immaculáta
mea. Jam enim hiems tránsiit, imber ábiit et recéssit. Ac deínde inquit: Veni de
Líbano, veni, coronáberis.
Non immérito ígitur veníre de Líbano jubétur, quia Líbanus candidátio interpretátur.
Erat enim candidáta multis meritórum virtútibus, et dealbáta nive candídior, Spíritus
Sancti munéribus, simplicitátem colúmbæ in ómnibus repræséntans: quóniam, quidquid in
ea gestum est, totum púritas et simplícitas, totum véritas et grátia fuit; totum
misericórdia et justítia, quæ de cælo prospéxit: et ídeo immaculáta, quia in nullo
corrúpta. Circúmdedit enim virum in útero, sicut Jeremías sanctus testátur, et non
aliúnde accépit. Fáciet, inquit, Dóminus novum super terram, et múlier circúmdabit
virum. Vere novum, et ómnium novitátum superéminens nóvitas virtútum, quando Deus
(quem ferre non potest mundus, neque vidére áliquis, ut vívere possit) sic ingréssus
est hospítium ventris, ut córporis claustrum nescíret; sicque gestátus, ut totus Deus
in eo esset; et sic exívit inde, ut esset (sicut Ezéchiel fatétur) porta omníno clausa.
Unde cánitur in eísdem Cánticis de ea: Hortus conclúsus, fons signátus, emissiónes
tuæ paradísus. Vere hortus deliciárum, in quo cónsita sunt univérsa florum génera, et
odoraménta virtútum; sicque conclúsus, ut nésciat violári, neque corrúmpi ullis
insidiárum fráudibus. Fons ítaque signátus sigíllo totíus Trinitátis.

Who and what was the blessed and glorious Mary, always a Virgin, hath been revealed by
God by the message of an Angel, in these words: Hail, thou that art full of grace, the
Lord is with thee blessed art thou among women. It was fitting that a fullness of grace
should be poured into that Virgin who hath given to God glory and to man a Saviour, who
hath brought peace to earth, who hath given faith to the Gentiles, who hath killed sin,
who hath given law to life, who hath made the crooked ways straight. Verily, she is
full of grace. To others grace cometh measure by measure; in Mary grace dwelleth at
once in all fullness. Verily, she is full of grace. We believe that the holy Fathers
and Prophets had grace; but they were not full of grace. But into Mary came a fullness
of all the grace which is in Christ, albeit otherwise than as it is in Him. Therefore
is it said: Blessed art thou among women, that is, Blessed art thou above all women.
The fulness of blessing in Mary utterly neutralized in her any effects of the curse of
Eve. In her praise Solomon writeth in the Song of Songs: Rise up, my dove, my fair one,
for the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. And again: Come from Lebanon, my
Spouse, come, thou shalt be crowned.
Not unjustly then is she bidden to come from Lebanon, for Lebanon is so named on
account of its stainless and glistening whiteness. The earthly Lebanon is white with
snow, but the lonely heights of Mary's holiness are white with purity and grace,
brilliantly fair, whiter far than snow, sparkling with the gifts of the Holy Ghost she
is undefiled like a dove, all clean, all upright, full of grace and truth. She is full
of mercy, and of the righteousness that hath looked down from heaven, and therefore is
she without stain because in her hath never been any corruption. She hath compassed a
man in her womb, saith holy Jeremiah, but she conceived not by the will of fallen man.
The Lord, saith the Prophet, hath created a new thing in the earth; a woman shall
compass a man. Verily, it is a new thing. Verily, it was a new work of power, greater
than all other works, when God, Whom the world cannot bear, and Whom no man shall see
and live, entered the lodging of her womb, breaking not the blissful cloister of her
virgin flesh. And in her body He was borne, the Infinite inclosed within her womb. And
from her womb He came forth, so that it was fulfilled which was spoken of the Prophet
Ezekiel, saying: This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall
enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore
it shall be shut. Hence also in the Song of Songs it is said of her: A garden enclosed
is my sister, my spouse, a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed, thy perfumes are a
garden of delights. Verily a garden of delights, filled with the perfumes of all
flowers, rich with the sweet savour of grace. And the most holy Virgin herself is a
garden enclosed, whereinto sin and Satan have never entered to sully the blossoms, a
fountain sealed, sealed with the seal of the Trinity.

The fact that the Virgin Mother of God had at the moment of her conception triumphed
over the foul enemy of man, hath ever been borne out by the Holy Scriptures, by the
venerable tradition of the Church, and by her unceasing belief, as well as by the
common conviction of all Bishops and faithful Catholics, and by marked acts and
constitutions of the Holy See. At length the Supreme Pontiff Pius IX, in compliance
with the wishes of the Universal Church, determined to publish it as a truth of faith,
on his own absolute and unerring authority, and accordingly, on the 8th day of
December, 1854, in the Vatican Basilica, in presence of a great multitude composed of
the Fathers Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, and Bishops from all parts of the
earth, he, with the consent and jubilation of the whole world, declared and defined as
follows That doctrine which declareth that the most Blessed Virgin Mary was in the
first instant of her Conception preserved, by a special privilege granted unto her by
God, from any stain of original sin, is a doctrine taught and revealed by God, and
therefore is to be held by all faithful Christians firmly and constantly.

Ave, María, grátia plena, Sanctis sánctior, et cælis excélsior, et Chérubim
gloriósior, et Séraphim honorabílior, et super omnem creatúram venerabílior. Ave,
colúmba, quæ nobis et fructum fers olívæ, et servatórem a spiritáli dilúvio ac portum
salútis annúntias; cujus pennæ deargentátæ, et posterióra dorsi in pallóre auri
sanctíssimi et illuminántis Spíritus fulgóre irradiántur. Ave, amœníssimus et
rationális Dei paradísus, benevolentíssima et omnipoténti ejúsdem dextra hódie ad
Oriéntem plantátus, et ipsi suáve olens lílium, et rosam immarcescíbilem gérminans in
eórum medélam, qui pestíferam animǽque exitiálem amaritúdinem mortis ad Occidéntem
ebíberant; paradísus, in quo ad veritátis agnitiónem lignum vivíficum effloréscit, e
quo qui gustáverint, immortalitátem consequúntur. Ave, sacrosáncte ædificátum,
immaculátum, purissimúmque Dei summi Regis palátium, ejúsdem Dei Regis magnificéntia
circumornátum, omnésque hospítio recípiens ac mýsticis refíciens delíciis; in quo non
manufáctus et vário decóre nitens situs est spirituális Sponsi thálamus; in quo
Verbum errántem humánam stirpem revocáre volens, carnem sibi desponsávit, ut eos, qui
voluntáte própria extórres facti fúerant, Patri reconciliáret.
Ave, Dei mons præpínguis et umbrósus, in quo enutrítus Agnus rationális peccáta atque
infirmitátes nostras portávit: mons, e quo devolútus ille nulla manu præcísus lapis,
contrívit aras idolórum, et factus est in caput ánguli, mirábilis in óculis nostris.
Ave, sanctus Dei thronus, divínum donárium, domus glóriæ, perpúlchrum ornaméntum,
cimélium eléctum, et totíus orbis propitiatórium, cælúmque Dei glóriam enárrans. Ave,
urna ex puro auro confláta, et suavíssimam animárum nostrárum dulcédinem, Christum
scílicet qui manna est, cóntinens. O puríssima et omni laude et obséquio digníssima

Hail, Mary, full of grace, holier than the Saints, higher than the heavens, more
glorious than the Cherubim, more honourable than the Seraphim, and the most worshipful
thing that the hands of God have made. Hail, O dove, bearing in thy beak the
olive-branch of peace that telleth us of salvation from the spiritual flood, dove,
blessed omen of a safe harbour, whose wings are of silver, and thy feathers of gold,
shining in the bright beams of the Most Holy and Light-giving Spirit. Hail, thou living
garden of Eden, planted towards the East by the right hand of the Most Merciful and
Mighty God, wherein do grow to His glory rich lilies and unfading roses, for the
healing of them that have drunk in death from the blighting and pestilential breezes
of the bitter West; Eden, wherein hath sprung that Tree of life, Whereof if any man eat
he shall live for ever. Hail, stately Palace of the King, most holy, stainless, purest,
House of the Most High God, adorned with His Royal splendour, open to all, filled with
Kingly dainties; Palace wherein is that spiritual bridal chamber, not made with hands,
nor hung with diverse colours, in the which the Eternal Word, when He would raise up
fallen man, wedded flesh unto Himself, that He might reconcile unto the Father them
who had cast themselves away.
Hail, O rich and shady Mountain of God, whereon pastured the True Lamb, Who hath taken
away our sins and infirmities, mountain, whereout hath been cut without hands that
Stone which hath smitten the altars of the idols, and become the head-stone of the
corner, marvellous in our eyes. Hail, thou holy Throne of God, thou divinest
store-house, thou temple of glory, thou bright crown, thou chosen treasure, thou
mercy-seat for the whole world, thou heaven declaring the glory of God. Hail, thou
vessel of pure gold, made to hold the manna that came down from heaven, the sweet food
of our souls, even Christ. Hail, O purest Virgin, most praiseworthy and most
worshipful, hallowed treasury for the wants of all creatures; thou art the untitled
earth, the unploughed field; thou art the vine full of flowers, the well overflowing
with waters, Maiden and Mother; thou art the Mother that knew not a man, the hidden
treasure of guilelessness, and the clear, bright star of holiness; by thy most
acceptable prayers, strong from thy motherly mouth, obtain for all estates of men in
the Church that they may continually tend unto Him Who is the Lord, and God, and Maker
of thee, and of them, and of all, but of thee the Son also, conceived without man's
intervention; obtain this, O Mother, pilot them to the harbour of peace.
Be it thine to clothe God's priests with righteousness, and to make them shout aloud
for joy in approved and stainless, and upright and glorious faith. thine be it to
guide in peace the sceptres of orthodox princes, even of princes who put their trust in
thee to be the crown of their Majesty, and the Royal Robe of their greatness, and the
firm foundation of their dominion, more than in purple, or fine gold, or pearls, or
precious stones; thine be it to put under their feet the unfaithful nations, nations
that blaspheme thee, and the God That was born of thee; thine be it to keep in meek
obedience the people that are under them, according to the commandment of God. Behold,
this is thine own city, which hath thee for her towers and her foundations, crown her
with victory, gird the house of God with strength, keep undefiled the loveliness of His
tabernacles, as for them that praise thy name, be thou their deliverer from strife and
bitterness of spirit. Free thou the prisoner, protect the wanderer, and if there be any
that hath no refuge, be thou to him a consolation. Stretch forth thine hand and help
the whole earth so shall we year by year keep this and all thy feasts, and at last be
found with thee in Christ Jesus, Who is Lord of all, and verily our God. To Him, with
the Holy Father, Who is the Fountain of Life, and the coeternal Spirit, Three Persons
and One Substance, even as there is one Kingdom, be glory and strength, now and for
ever. Amen.
