Add August sanctoral content: 10 saints/feasts
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m9s

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: Ss. Tiburtius and Susanna, Ss.
Hippolytus and Cassian, the Vigil of the Assumption, St. Joachim (Duplex
II Classis, own full proper content), St. Hyacinth, St. John Eudes, St.
Jane Frances de Chantal, the Immaculate Heart of the BVM (Duplex II
Classis, instituted 1942, full proper content), St. Joseph Calasanctius,
and St. Raymond Nonnatus.

Several of the new fixed dates (Aug 16, 17, 21, 22) fall within or
adjacent to St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's overlapping octave
windows and now win outright there under the ordinary-feria/ordinary-
sunday precedence rules, displacing what several existing tests
expected to be bare octave commemorations or ferial fallbacks. Updated:

- august-sanctoral.test.ts: Aug 22 now correctly shows the Immaculate
  Heart of Mary as the winner, with the Assumption's octave still
  commemorated alongside her.
- day-label.test.ts: the two octave-priority tests pinned to Aug 17
  (now St. Hyacinth's own day) moved their "day 8 alone" case to All
  Saints' own octave (Nov 8, still open); the two-octaves-overlap
  comparison can no longer be demonstrated via any real date in this
  app since every day where St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's octaves
  genuinely overlap is now real sanctoral content -- the underlying
  `pickWinningOctave` mechanism itself stays covered by
  tests/calendar/octaves.test.ts's own synthetic-data unit test.
- vespers.test.ts: the Thursday Ps 138 split test moved off Aug 20,
  whose own first Vespers is now claimed by St. Jane Frances de
  Chantal's fixed day (Aug 21).

Quis mortálium, nisi divíno tutus oráculo, de vera Dei et hóminis
Genetríce quidquam módicum, sive grande præsúmat incircumcísis, immo
pollútis lábiis nomináre, quam Pater ante sǽcula Deus perpétuam
prædestinávit in Vírginem, digníssimam Fílius elégit in Matrem,
Spíritus Sanctus omnis grátiæ domicílium præparávit? Quibus verbis
ego homúnculus sensus altíssimos virgínei Cordis, sanctíssimo ore
prolátos, éfferam, quibus non súfficit lingua ómnium Angelórum?
Dóminus enim ait: Bonus homo de bono thesáuro cordis profert bona;
quod verbum potest étiam esse thesáurus. Quis inter puros hómines
mélior homo potest excogitári, quam illa, quæ méruit éffici Mater
Dei, quæ novem ménsibus in corde et in útero suo ipsum Deum
hospitáta est? Quis thesáurus mélior, quam ipse divínus amor quo
fornáceum cor Vírginis ardens erat?
De hoc ígitur Corde quasi de fornáce divíni ardóris Virgo beáta
prótulit verba bona, id est, verba ardentíssimæ caritátis. Sicut
enim a vase summo et óptimo vino pleno, non potest exíre nisi óptimum
vinum; aut sicut a fornáce summi ardóris non egréditur nisi incéndium
fervens; sic quippe a Christi Matre exíre non pótuit verbum, nisi
summi summéque divíni amóris atque ardóris. Sapiéntis quoque dóminæ
et matrónæ est pauca verba, sólida tamen atque sententiósa habére;
proínde septem vícibus quasi septem verba tantum miræ senténtiæ et
virtútis a Christi benedictíssima Matre legúntur dicta, ut mýstice
ostendátur ipsam fuísse plenam grátia septifórmi. Cum Angelo bis
tantúmmodo est locúta. Cum Elísabeth bis étiam. Cum Fílio étiam bis,
semel in templo, secúndo in núptiis. Cum minístris semel. Et in his
ómnibus semper valde parum locúta est; excépto quod in laude Dei et
gratiárum actióne se ámplius dilatávit, scílicet, quum ait:
Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum. Ubi non cum hómine, sed cum Deo locúta
fuit.
Cultum litúrgicum, quo Cordi Immaculáto Vírginis Maríæ débitus
tribúitur honor, cuíque plures viri sancti ac mulíeres viam
parárunt, ipsa Apostólica Sedes primum approbávit ineúnte sǽculo
undevicésimo, cum Pius Papa séptimus festum Puríssimi Cordis Maríæ
Vírginis instítuit, ab ómnibus diœcésibus et religiósis famíliis,
quæ id petiíssent, pie sanctéque agéndum: quod póstmodum Pius Papa
nonus Offício ac Missa própria auxit. Ardens autem stúdium atque
optátum, jam sǽculo décimo séptimo exórtum et in dies invaléscens,
ut nempe ejúsmodi festum, majóri solemnitáte donátum, totíus
Ecclésiæ commúne efficerétur, Summus Póntifex Pius duodécimus
benígne excípiens anno millésimo nongentésimo quadragésimo secúndo,
bello atrocíssimo per orbem fere totum ingravescénte, infínitas
populórum ærúmnas míserans, pro sua in Matrem cæléstem pietáte ac
fidúcia genus hóminum univérsum illíus Cordi benigníssimo
obsecratióne solémni eníxe commendávit, atque in honórem ejúsdem
Immaculáti Cordis festum cum Offício et Missa própriis in perpétuum
ubíque celebrándum indíxit.

What man, unless secure in a divine oracle, may presume to speak with
impure, indeed with polluted lips, anything little or great about the
true Parent of God and of man, whom the Father before all ages
predestined a perpetual Virgin, whom the Son chose as his most
worthy Mother, whom the Holy Ghost prepared as the dwelling place of
every grace? With what words shall I, a lowly man, give expression
to the highest sentiments of the virginal Heart uttered by the
holiest mouth, for which the tongues of all the Angels do not
suffice? For the Lord saith: A good man bringeth forth good things
from the good treasure of his heart; and this word can also be a
treasure. Among pure mortals who can be conceived of as better than
she who was worthy to be the Mother of God, who for nine months had
as a guest in her heart and in her womb God himself? What better
treasure than the divine love itself, which was burning in the Heart
of the Virgin as in a furnace?
And so, from this Heart as from a furnace of divine ardor the
Blessed Virgin brought forth good words, that is, words of the most
ardent charity. For as from a vessel full of the richest and best
wine only good wine can be poured; or as from a furnace of intense
heat only a burning fire is emitted; so indeed from the Mother of
Christ no word can go forth except of the greatest and most intense
divine love and ardor. It is also the mark of a wise woman and
matron to speak few words, but words that are effective and full of
meaning; and so seven times, as it were, seven words of such
wonderful meaning and virtue are read as having been uttered by the
Most Blessed Mother of Christ, that mystically it may be shown she
was full of the sevenfold grace. To the Angel twice only did she
speak; to Elizabeth also twice; with her Son likewise twice, once in
the temple, and a second time at the marriage feast; and once to the
attendants. And on all those occasions she always said very little;
with this one exception that she spake at length in the praise of
God and in thanksgiving, namely, when she said: My soul doth
magnify the Lord. But here she did not speak with man, but with God.
The liturgical worship, through which due honor is given to the
Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary, and for which many holy men and
women have prepared the way, the Apostolic See itself first
approved in the beginning of the nineteenth century, when Pope Pius
VII instituted the feast of the Most Pure Heart of the Virgin Mary,
to be piously and reverently celebrated by all the dioceses and
religious families who had asked for it. Afterwards Pope Pius IX
added an Office and a proper Mass to it. But an ardent desire and
longing, which had arisen in the seventeenth century, grew day by
day, that namely, the same Feast, given greater solemnity, might be
spread to the entire Church. In 1942, Pope Pius XII, graciously
acceding to this wish, and during the terrible war then ravaging
almost the entire world, pitying the infinite hardships of men, and
because of his devotion and confidence in our heavenly Mother, in
solemn supplication earnestly entrusted the entire human race to
her most generous Heart, and in honor of the same Immaculate Heart
he ordered a Feast to be kept forever with its proper Office and
Mass.

Onus et jugum impósitum a Dómino sancto Joánni, ut Vírginis Matris
curam géreret, vere fuit jugum suáve et onus leve. Quis enim non
libentíssime cohabitáret Matri illi, quæ Verbum incarnátum in útero
novem ménsibus portávit, et illi totos trigínta annos devotíssime
dulcissiméque cohabitávit? Quis non invídeat dilécto Dómini, qui in
abséntia Fílii Dei præséntiam obtínuit Matris Dei? Sed, nisi fallor,
póssumus et nos a benignitáte Verbi nostri causa incarnáti et ex
dilectióne nímia nostri causa crucifíxi, précibus impetráre, ut
dicat et nobis: Ecce Mater tua; et Matri suæ de nobis dicat: Ecce
fílius tuus.
Non est avárus pius Dóminus gratiárum, dúmmodo ad thronum grátiæ
ejus cum fide et fidúcia et non ficto corde, sed vero et sincéro
accedámus. Qui nos coherédes esse vóluit regni Patris sui, non
dedignábitur certe nos coherédes habére amóris Matris suæ. Sed nec
ipsa Virgo benigníssima gravábitur multitúdine filiórum, cum sinum
amplíssimum hábeat et valde cúpiat, nullum períre ex his, quos
Fílius suus tam pretióso sánguine et tam pretiósa morte redémit.
Adeámus ergo cum fidúcia ad thronum grátiæ Christi, et supplíciter
nec sine lácrimis ab eo petámus, ut de unoquóque nostrum Matri suæ
dicat: Ecce fílius tuus; et unicuíque nostrum de Matre sua dicat:
Ecce Mater tua.
Quam bene nobis erit sub præsídio tantæ Matris? Quis nos detráhere
audébit de sinu ejus? Quæ nos tentátio superáre póterit,
confidéntes in patrocínio Matris Dei et nostræ? neque nos primi
érimus in tanti consecutióne benefícii. Multi nos præcessérunt;
multi, inquam, ad singuláre et plane matérnum patrocínium tantæ
Vírginis accessérunt, et nemo confúsus aut tristis dimíssus est, sed
omnes hílares et gaudéntes, freti patrocínio tantæ Matris.

The burden and yoke which our Lord imposed on St. John, that he take
care of his Virgin Mother, was indeed a sweet yoke and a light
burden. Who indeed would not esteem it a happiness to dwell under
the same roof with her, who for nine months had borne in her womb
the Incarnate Word, and for thirty years had enjoyed the sweetest
and happiest communication of sentiments with him? Who doth not
envy the chosen disciple of our Lord, who in the absence of the Son
of God, was given the presence of the Mother of God? Yet, if I am
not mistaken, we can obtain by our prayers that our most kind Lord,
who became man for our sakes and was crucified for love of us,
should say to us: Behold thy Mother; and should say to his Mother
for each one of us: Behold thy son.
Our good Lord is not avaricious of his graces, if only we approach
the throne of grace with faith and confidence, with a true and
sincere but not a false heart. He who desireth to have us co-heirs
in the kingdom of his Father, will certainly not disdain to have us
co-heirs in the love of his Mother. Nor will the most benign Virgin
herself take it amiss to have a countless number of children, since
she hath an heart capable of embracing all of us, and ardently
desireth that not even one of those souls should perish whom her
divine Son redeemed with his precious Blood, and his still more
precious death. And so let us approach with confidence the throne
of the grace of Christ, and with tears let us humbly beg of him to
say to his Mother for each of us: Behold thy son; and to each one of
us concerning his Mother: Behold thy Mother.
How secure shall we be under the protection of such a Mother? Who
will dare to drag us from her bosom? What temptation can overcome us
if we confide in the protection of the Mother of God and of our
Mother? Nor will we be the first who have secured such a great
favour. Many have preceded us; many, I say, have placed themselves
under the singular and really maternal protection of so powerful a
Virgin, and no one hath been cast off by her with his soul in a
perplexed and sad state, but all who confide in the patronage of
such a Mother are happy and contented.
