Add September Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m10s

All 9 of September's SanctiM-track saints authored -- the first full
month in this pass with nothing left unsourced. Includes the
Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel, whose SanctiM file borrows
structure from his separate May 8 Apparition file but still resolves
its actual readings back to this day's own Tridentine content.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Thecla, Virgin, Martyr (Sep 23,
# sharing the date with St. Linus — see st-linus.yml). No genuine
# SanctiM match: the only SanctiM file for this date bases
# `@Sancti/09-23` (Linus, not Thecla) — a missed pre-1955-pool
# candidate rather than a genuine SanctiM case (see memory
# vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/09-23cc.txt, English/Sancti/09-23cc.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account, no
# responsory given in the source.

Thecla virgo, ex illustribus paréntibus Iconii nata, a Paulo Apóstolo fidei præceptis
instituta, miris sanctórum Patrum laudibus celebrátur. Quæ décimum octavum annum
agens, Thamíride sponso relícto, cum eam paréntes, quod Christiana esset,
accusassent, in ardentem rogum, qui, nisi Christo renuntiáret, ei parátus erat, prius
signo crucis armata, seipsam injecit. Sed igne, plúvia quæ repénte exorta est,
exstincto, Antiochíam venit; ubi, feris objecta et tauris in diversa incitátis
alligata, mox conjecta in fossam plenam serpéntibus, ex ómnibus Jesu Christi grátia
liberátur. Cujus ardore fidei et vitæ sanctitáte multi ad Christum convérsi sunt.
Iterum in pátriam rédiens, in montem sola secessit. Deínde, multis virtútibus et
miraculis insígnis, nonagenaria migrávit ad Dóminum, ac Seleucíæ sepúlta est.

This virgin Thecla was the daughter of noble parents at Iconium, and a disciple of the
Apostle Paul. She is the subject of extraordinary praises by the holy Fathers. In the
eighteenth year of her age, she parted from one Thamiris, to whom she had been
betrothed, and her kindred accused her of being a Christian. A pile was set a-fire for
her, unless she should deny Christ, but she made the sign of the Cross, and willingly
entered it, and rain came, and put out the fire. She came to Antioch, where they threw
her to wild beasts; and strove to tear her asunder, by tying her to oxen driven
different ways; and cast her into a pit with many snakes; but by the mercy of Jesus
Christ she was delivered from all. The warmth of her faith and the holiness of her life
brought many to Christ. She returned into her own country, and withdrew to be an
hermit, alone on a certain mountain, and passed away to be with the Lord, aged ninety
years, and famous for many good works and miracles. She was buried at Seleucia.
