Author Common-of-a-Confessor Matins hymn ("Iste Confessor")

Fixes the ferial-hymn fallback for St. Louis and 82 other confessor
saints across all 5 confessor common ids, using the pre-Urban VIII
(Monastic-track "sacrátus") textual variant with a fresh English
translation rather than the reference engine's mismatched reused one.

Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus,
Festa plebs cujus celébrat per orbem,
Hódie lætus méruit secréta
Scándere cæli.
Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbrius, castus fuit et quiétus,
Vita dum præsens vegetávit ejus
Córporis artus.
Ob sacrum cujus túmulum frequénter
Membra languéntum modo sanitáti,
Quólibet morbo fúerint graváta,
Restituúntur.
Unde nunc noster chorus in honórem
Ipsius, hymnum canit hunc libénter:
Ut piis ejus méritis juvémur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui supra cæli résidens cacúmen,
Tótius mundi máchinam gubérnat
Trinus et unus. Amen.

This is the Lord's own hallowed confessor,
Whose feast today the nations round are keeping;
Joyful, he merited this day to enter
Heaven's hid glory.
Dutiful, prudent, humble, chaste, he flourished,
Sober and quiet, pure in all his living,
While in his body yet the breath of this life
Quickened his members.
Often at his consecrated tomb, the
Limbs of those worn by long and grievous sickness,
Whatsoever ill had laid them low, are
Wholly restored.
Therefore our choir today, in glad thanksgiving,
Sings in his honor this our joyful anthem:
That by his merits, freely won through goodness,
We may be aided.
Praise be to Him, all honor, might, dominion,
Who from the height of heaven's throne is reigning,
Governing all the fabric of creation,
Three and yet One. Amen.

# The Common-of-a-Confessor's Matins hymn ("Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus" /
# "This is the Lord's own hallowed confessor"). Latin is the Monastic-track
# textual variant (reference engine's Commune/C4.txt [HymnusM Vespera] block,
# live-verified for St. Louis, 2026-08-25, version=Monastic Tridentinum
# 1617) — distinct from the secular breviary's later Urban VIII revision
# ("...coléntes... Hac die lætus méruit beátas Scándere sedes"), which vu's
# Monastic-structured Matins does not use. English is an original
# translation (the reference engine's own English/Commune/C4.txt reuses one
# translation for both Latin textual variants — mismatched here: its tomb
# imagery and "merits" wording actually belong to this sacrátus form, not
# the secular one it's nominally paired with there — so it wasn't trusted
# and re-translated fresh instead), hence status.en: draft while
# status.la: verified (transcribed as-is from the reference engine).
