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 reading for St. Nicholas, Bishop, Confessor
|
||||
# (Dec 6) — SanctiM/12-06.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/12-06`)
|
||||
# with no Nocturn 2 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/12-06.txt, English/Sancti/12-06.txt.
|
||||
# Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita (including
|
||||
# the famous three-dowries and three-tribunes episodes), no genuine
|
||||
# source break.

Nicoláum, illustri loco Pátaræ in Lycia natum, paréntes a Deo precibus impetrarunt.
|
||||
Cujus viri sanctitas quanta futura esset, jam ab incunábulis appáruit. Nam infans, cum
|
||||
réliquos dies lac nutrícis frequens súgeret, quarta et sexta feria semel dumtaxat,
|
||||
idque vesperi sugebat: quam jejunii consuetúdine in réliqua vita semper ténuit.
|
||||
Adoléscens paréntibus orbatus, facultates suas paupéribus distríbuit. Cujus illud
|
||||
insigne est christianæ benignitátis exemplum, quod cum ejus civis egens tres filias
|
||||
jam nubiles in matrimonio collocare non posset, earumque pudicítiam prostitúere
|
||||
cogitaret; re cognita, Nicolaus noctu per fenestram tantum pecuniæ in ejus domum
|
||||
injecit, quantum uníus vírginis doti satis esset: quod cum íterum et tertio fecísset,
|
||||
tres illæ vírgines honestis viris in matrimónium datæ sunt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Cum vero se totum Deo dedísset, in Palæstinam profectus est, ut loca sancta viseret,
|
||||
et præsens venerarétur. Qua in peregrinatióne navem conscéndens sereno cælo et
|
||||
tranquillo mari, horribilem nautis tempestátem prædixit; moxque ortam, cum essent
|
||||
omnes in summo periculo, orans mirabíliter sedávit. Unde cum domum reversus
|
||||
singuláris sanctitátis ómnibus documénta præberet, Dei admónitu Myram, quæ Lyciæ
|
||||
metropolis erat, venit; quo témpore ejus urbis episcopo mortuo, provinciales epíscopi
|
||||
de successore deligéndo consultábant. Itaque in ea deliberatióne divinitus admoniti
|
||||
sunt, ut eam eligerent, qui postridie mane primus in ecclésiam ingrederétur, Nicolaus
|
||||
nómine. Qua observatióne adhibita, in ecclésiæ janua deprehénsus est Nicoláus, et
|
||||
summo ómnium consénsu Myræ epíscopus creatur. In episcopatu castitátem, quam semper
|
||||
colúerat, gravitátem, oratiónis assiduitátem, vigílias abstinéntiam, liberalitátem et
|
||||
hospitalitátem, in adhortando mansuetúdinem, in reprehendéndo severitátem perpetuo
|
||||
adhibuit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Viduis et orphanis pecúnia, consílio, ópera non defuit; oppressos adeo sublevávit, ut
|
||||
étiam tres tribunos, per calumniam a Constantino Augusto condemnatos, qui se propter
|
||||
famam ejus miraculórum oratiónibus longíssime absenti commendarant, adhuc vivens, cum
|
||||
imperatóri, mináciter eum terrens, apparuísset, liberaverit. Cum vero contra edictum
|
||||
Diocletiáni et Maximiáni christianæ fidei veritátem Myræ prædicaret, ab imperatórum
|
||||
satellítibus comprehénsus, et longíssime abductus, in carcerem conjéctus est; ubi fuit
|
||||
usque ad Constantinum imperatórem, cujus jussu ex custódia ereptus, Myram rediit. Mox
|
||||
ad Nicænum concílium se cóntulit; ubi cum trecentis illis decem et octo Pátribus
|
||||
Arianam hæresim condemnávit. Inde reversus ad episcopátum, non ita multo post,
|
||||
instante morte, suspíciens in cælum, cum Angelos sibi occurréntes intuerétur, illo
|
||||
Psalmo pronuntiato, In te Dómine, sperávi; usque ad eum locum, In manus tuas
|
||||
comméndo spíritum meum; in cælestem pátriam migrávit. Ejus corpus Bárium in Apulia
|
||||
translátum, ibidem summa celebritate ac veneratióne cólitur.

Nicolas was born at the famous city of Patara in Lycia. His parents obtained him from
|
||||
God by prayer, and the holiness of his life was marked even from the cradle. When he
|
||||
was at the breast he never would suck more than once on Wednesdays and Fridays, and
|
||||
that always after sunset, though he sucked freely on other days. This custom of
|
||||
fasting he never broke through during his whole life. While he was still a young man
|
||||
he lost both his father and mother, after which he gave his whole property away to the
|
||||
poor. One particular example is given of his Christian charity. There was a certain
|
||||
needy man in the city who had three marriageable daughters, for whom he could not get
|
||||
husbands, and so thought to make them harlots. When Nicolas heard of it, he went to
|
||||
the house by night and threw in by the window such a sum of money as made a dowry for
|
||||
one of them. This he did a second and a third time, and thus by his charity they were
|
||||
honourably given in marriage.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When he had given himself entirely to God he set forth for Palestine, that he might
|
||||
see the Holy Places, and worship therein. During this pilgrimage he embarked once on
|
||||
board a ship when the sky was clear and the sea calm, but he foretold a great storm,
|
||||
which afterwards arose and raged until the sailors were afraid; and then the saint by
|
||||
prayer stilled the tempest. After he had returned home, and his holy life was known to
|
||||
all men, God bade him go to Myra, which is the chief city of Lycia, at a time when the
|
||||
Bishop had just died and the Bishops of the Province were called together to choose a
|
||||
successor. While they deliberated, they received a warning from heaven to choose that
|
||||
Nicolas who should first come into the church in the morning. In obedience to that
|
||||
warning, Nicolas was seized at the door of the church, and with universal consent
|
||||
consecrated Archbishop. In his great office he was an unceasing model of purity, as he
|
||||
had always been, of gravity, of regularity in prayer, of watching, of abstinence, of
|
||||
charity, of hospitality, of meekness in exhortation, and of sternness in rebuke.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He was the comforter of widows and orphans by money, by advice, and by labour. He was
|
||||
the deliverer of the oppressed, so mightily, that it is related that the Emperor
|
||||
Constantine once unjustly condemned three Tribunes to death, and these unhappy men
|
||||
called upon Nicolas, though living and absent, to save them, who yet appeared in a
|
||||
vision to the Emperor, and forced him by threats to set them free. When the Emperors
|
||||
Diocletian and Maximian published their edict against Christianity, Nicolas did not
|
||||
cease to preach the truth at Myra, wherefore he was seized by the soldiers of the
|
||||
Emperors, carried away from his See, and thrown into prison, where he remained until
|
||||
the accession of Constantine. This Prince set him free, and he returned to Myra. He
|
||||
betook himself to the first Council of Nicea, where he was one of the 318 Bishops who
|
||||
condemned the heresy of Arius. He returned thence to his Bishopric, and, not long
|
||||
after, became aware of the approach of death. When his last moment was come, he lifted
|
||||
up his eyes to heaven, and, when he saw the Angels coming to meet him, he began to
|
||||
recite the thirtieth Psalm, In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust, and when he had said,
|
||||
Into thy hands I commend my spirit, he passed to the heavenly Fatherland. His body was
|
||||
finally removed to Bari in Apulia, where it is kept with great fame and honour.
