Import calendar-month/week Matins Nocturn 2 content for Aug-Nov
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m24s

The later post-Pentecost Sundays' real Nocturn 2 patristic content isn't
keyed by Pentecost offset in the reference engine — it's keyed by civil
calendar month/week (the old "Scriptura occurrens" cycle), which shifts
relative to post-pentecost-NN every year depending on Easter's date. Port
Date.pm's monthday() algorithm (pre-1955/Tridentine rubrics) as a new,
date-driven id, author all 20 August-November month-week files from the
reference engine's Tempora/0MN-0.txt sources, and pool them in
hours/matins.ts as a third, independent reading source alongside the
existing temporalId lookup.

Si accédant áliqui, e dicant tibi: Ne frequénter jejúnes, ne imbecíllior fias; ne credas
illis, neque auscúltes: per istos enim inimícus hæc súggerit. Reminíscere ejus quod scriptum
est, quod, cum tres púeri, et Dániel, et álii adolescéntuli, captívi ducti essent a
Nabuchodónosor rege Babylónis, jussúmque esset ut de ipsíus mensa régia coméderent et de vino
bíberent; Dániel et tres púeri illi noluérunt póllui ex mensa regis, sed dixérunt eunúcho qui
eos curándos suscéperat: Da nobis de semínibus terræ, et vescémur. Quibus ait eunúchus: Tímeo
ego regem, qui constítuit vobis cibum et potum, ne forte fácies vestræ appáreant regi
squalidióres præ céteris púeris qui régia mensa alúntur, et púniat me.
Cui dixérunt illi: Tenta servos tuos dies decem, et da nobis de semínibus. Et dedit eis
legúmina ad vescéndum, et aquam ad bibéndum; et introdúxit eos in conspéctu regis, et visæ
sunt fácies ipsórum speciosióres præter céteros púeros, qui régiæ mensæ cibis nutriebántur.
Vidésne quid fáciat jejúnium? Morbos sanat, distillatiónes córporis exsíccat, dǽmones fugat,
pravas cogitatiónes expéllit, mentem clariórem reddit, cor mundum éfficit, corpus sanctíficat,
dénique ad thronum Dei hóminem sistit. Et ne putes hæc témere dici; habes hujus rei
testimónium in Evangéliis a Salvatóre prolátum. Cum enim quæsivíssent discípuli quonam modo
immúndi spíritus ejiceréntur, respóndit Dóminus: Hoc genus non ejícitur, nisi in oratióne et
jejúnio.
Quisquis ígitur ab immúndo spíritu vexátur, si hoc animadvértat, et hoc phármaco utátur,
jejúnio inquam, statim spíritus malus oppréssus abscédet, vim jejúnii métuens. Valde enim
dǽmones oblectántur crápula et ebrietáte et córporis cómmodis. Magna vis in jejúnio, et magna
ac præclára fiunt per illud. Alióquin unde hómines tam mirífica præstárent, et signa per eos
fíerent, et sanitátem infírmis per ipsos largirétur Deus, nisi plane ob exercitatiónes
spirituáles, et humilitátem ánimi, et conversatiónem bonam? Jejúnium enim Angelórum cibus est:
et qui eo útitur, órdinis angélici censéndus est.

If any should come and say unto thee, "Fast not so often, lest thou injure thine health,"
believe them not, neither listen to them. They are but the tools of the great enemy to suggest
such a thing unto thee. Remember how it is written that when the three children, and Daniel,
and the other lads, were led captives by Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon, and it was commanded
them to eat of his Royal table, and to drink of his wine, Daniel and those three children would
not defile themselves with the King's table, but said unto the eunuch into whose keeping they
had been given, "Give us of the fruits of the earth, and we will eat." And the eunuch answered
them, "I fear my lord the King, who hath appointed your meat and your drink, lest perchance your
faces should appear unto the King worse-liking than the other children, who are fed from his
Royal table, and he should punish me."
Then they said unto him: "Prove thy servants ten days, and give us herbs." And he gave them
pulse to eat and water to drink; and, when he brought them in before the King, their countenances
appeared fairer than all the children which did eat the portion of the King's meat. Seest thou
what fasting doth? It healeth diseases, it drieth up the humours of the body, it scareth away
devils, it purgeth forth unclean thoughts, it maketh the intellect clearer, it purifieth the
heart, it sanctifieth the body, and in the end it leadeth a man unto the throne of God. Think
not that this is rash talking. Thou hast the testimony of this in the Gospels under the
sanction of the Saviour Himself. His disciples asked Him why they could not cast out an evil
spirit, and He said unto them, "This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting."
(Mark 9:28.)
If any man therefore be troubled with an unclean spirit, if he bethink him of this, and have
recourse to this remedy, namely, fasting, the evil spirit will be forthwith compelled to leave
him, from dread of the power of fasting. Devils take great delight in fulness, and drunkenness,
and bodily comfort. There is great power in fasting, and great and glorious things are wrought
thereby. How cometh it that men work such wonders, and that signs are done by them, and that
God through them giveth health to the sick, unless it be from their ghostly exercises, and the
meekness of their souls, and their godly conversation? To fast is to banquet with Angels, and
he that fasteth is to be reckoned, so far, among the Angelic host.
