From db141681a97c6396e867009f82e1a48305512543 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 15:10:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add St. Francis de Sales, St. Martina, St. John Bosco (Jan 29-31) Per direct instruction to import all available sanctoral content regardless of rubric-era markers: these three had real, complete Matins content in the reference engine and were simply never added during the earlier month-by-month sanctoral pulls (no exclusion comment, no placeholder -- just never reached). First of a broader sweep across the whole calendar. New shared Common template: benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor.yml (Commune/C5's own Ant 1) -- the first common-of-a-confessor saint that needed one; st-alexius.yml (the only prior user of this category) had used a Cistercian-specific alternate instead. npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

In his childish years his staid and godly + demeanour gave promise of his future sanctity. He received a liberal education as he + grew up, and afterwards studied Philosophy and Theology at Paris. In order to the + complete furnishing of his mind, he took the degree of Doctor of Laws, both Civil and + Ecclesiastical, at Padua, with much distinction. He had already bound himself with a + vow of perpetual virginity at Paris, and he renewed the same in the Holy House of + Loreto. From this path of virtue, neither the temptations of the devil nor the + allurements of the world ever induced him to depart. + + + He refused to be made Counsellor of the Parliament of Chambery, for which his family + had obtained for him patents from the Duke of Savoy, and determined to become a + clergyman. He was appointed to the Provostship of the Church of Geneva, and, being + shortly afterwards ordained Priest, discharged so admirably the duties of his + position, that he was sent by Granier, his Bishop, to preach the word of God in + Chablais, and other places in the outskirts of the diocese, where the inhabitants had + embraced the heresy of Calvin. He joyfully undertook this mission, in which he + suffered much, being often hunted by the Protestants to murder him, and assailed by + many calumnies and plots. Amid all these dangers and struggles his constancy remained + invincible, and under the blessing and care of God he is said to have recalled + seventy-two thousand of these heretics to the Faith of Christ's Universal Church, + among whom were many distinguished by rank and learning. + + + After the death of Bishop Granier, who had procured his appointment as Coadjutor, he + was consecrated Bishop. In that office he was truly a burning and a shining light, + showing all around a bright example of godliness, zeal for the discipline of the + Church, ardent love of peace, tenderness to the poor, and, indeed, of all graces. For + the greater ornament of God's worship he established a new Order of Nuns, which is + named from the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin. These nuns follow the Rule of St. + Augustine, but Francis added thereto several additional constitutions distinguished by + wisdom, prudence, and tenderness. He enlightened the Church by writings full of + heavenly teaching, and pointing out a safe and simple road to Christian perfection. In + the 55th year of his age, while on his way from France to Annecy, after saying mass at + Lyons on the Feast of St. John the Evangelist, he was seized with fatal illness, and on + the next day passed from earth to heaven, in the year of our Lord 1622. His body was + carried to Annecy and honourably buried in the Church of the nuns of the Visitation, + where it soon began to be distinguished for miracles. The truth of these having been + proved, the Supreme Pontiff, Alexander VII., enrolled his name among those of the + Saints, and appointed for his Feast-day the 29th of January. And the Supreme Pontiff, + Pius IX., on the advice of the Congregation of Sacred Rites, declared him a Doctor of + the Universal Church. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-john-bosco.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-john-bosco.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c56a4f9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-john-bosco.yml @@ -0,0 +1,202 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for St. John Bosco, Confessor (Jan 31). +# Sourced directly from web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/01-31.txt, +# English/Sancti/01-31.txt. +# +# Nocturn 2: Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita. +# Nocturn 3: Lectio7's Gospel citation (Matt 18:1-5) is a bare incipit +# ("Et réliqua") with no full pericope text given, so — per the +# established convention of not transcribing bare incipits — only the +# homily portion is authored (not marked isGospel), St. John +# Chrysostom's homily (Lectio7's homily + Lectio8-9 combined, one +# continuous piece). +id: st-john-bosco +readings: + - nocturn: 2 + isGospel: false + text: + la: >- + Joánnes Bosco, humili loco natus apud Castum Novum in Astensibus atque sanctíssime, + patre amisso, disciplína materna institútus, mira de se vel a prima ætate + portendit.

Docile and pious, he had a + remarkable influence over those of his own age, whose fights he soon began to settle, + and whose indecent words and improper jokes he stopped. Then he busied himself with + drawing them to him by good stories, by including prayers in their games, by + repeating in an attractive way the complete sermons he had heard in church, and with + persuading them to receive the sacraments of Penance and of the Holy Eucharist + without delay and frequently. His unassuming manner, his affability, and his + innocence drew everyone to him. Although pressed with difficulties at home, and + forced to work hard in his youth, he ardently desired with trust in God to become a + priest. + + + His wish was fulfilled, and he went first to Chieri, and then to Turin, where under + the direction of Blessed Joseph Cafasso, he made rapid progress in the science of + the Saints and in the learning of moral theology. There moved by divine grace and + personal liking he began to take an interest in the youths, whom he taught the + rudiments of the Christian religion. Their number increased day by day, and + notwithstanding great and persistent difficulties, under divine inspiration he made + a foundation for them in that section of the city called the Valdocco, on which he + began to spend all his energy. Shortly after, with the help of the Blessed Virgin, + who in a vision to him when a boy had revealed his future, John founded the Society + of the Salesians, whose principal purpose was to be the saving of youthful souls for + Christ. In like manner he founded a new family of nuns, who were called the + daughters of St. Mary Auxiliatrix, and who would do for poor girls what the + Salesians were doing for boys. To these he finally attached the Third Order of + Salesian Cooperators, who by their piety and zeal were to assist in the educational + work of the Salesians. And so in a short time he made great contributions both to + the Church and to the State. + + + Filled with zeal for souls, he spared himself no labour and no expense to build + recreational centres for the young, orphanages, schools for working children, + schools and homes for the training of the young, and churches far and wide + throughout the world. At the same time he did not stop spreading the Faith + throughout the Subalpine country by word and by example, and throughout the whole of + Italy, by writing and editing good books and by distributing the same, and in the + foreign missions to which he sent numerous preachers. A simple and upright man, bent + on every good work, he shone with all manner of virtue, which was fostered by his + intense and ardent charity. With his mind always on God, and showered with heavenly + gifts, this holy man of God was not disturbed by threats, nor tired by work, nor + overwhelmed by care, nor upset by adversity. He recommended three works of piety to + his followers: to receive as frequently as possible the sacraments of Penance and of + Holy Eucharist, to cultivate a devotion to St. Mary Auxiliatrix, and to be the most + loyal children of the Sovereign Pontiff. With a life of such accomplishments he died + on the 31st day of January, 1888. Illustrious for his many miracles, the Supreme + Pontiff, Pius XI, beatified him in 1929. Five years later, in the nineteenth + centenary of the anniversary of our redemption, he was canonized among a vast + gathering come to the Eternal City from every part of the world. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "St. John Chrysostom, Homily 60 on Matthew (on Matt 18:1-5)" + text: + la: >- + Vide quot modis nos inducat Dóminus ad curam vel minórum fratrum?

So that ye will not fall into + such evil, reflect on how many ways he leadeth you to act humbly and take care of + them. He placed a child in their midst and said: Become like little children; and: + Whosoever receiveth one such little child for my sake, receiveth me; and: Who + causeth one to sin, will suffer the severest penalties. If therefore God so + rejoiceth over a little one that hath been found, why do ye despise those for whom + God is so solicitous, when ye should trade your own life for one of those little + ones? So great indeed is God's care for a soul that he did not spare his own Son. + Wherefore, I entreat you, the first thing in the morning when we go out of the + house, let us have in mind this purpose and this concern, to save someone in danger. + I do not speak here of a visible danger, for this is not danger at all, but of danger + to the soul, which the devil prepareth for men. + + + Ye say it is hard to tolerate the bad. Ye should be joined to him in love, to lead + him away from vice, to convert him and lead him back to virtue. But he doth not + follow, say ye, nor taketh he advice. How know ye this? Have ye exhorted him and have + ye tried to correct him? I have often exhorted, ye will say. How often? Once or + twice. Do ye call that very often? Even if ye were to do it for your whole life, ye + should neither stop nor despair. Do ye not see how God always encourageth us through + the Prophets, through the Apostles, and through the Evangelists? What followeth? Do + we act right? Do we obey in everything? Not at all. Should there be an end, then, to + admonishing? + + + There is indeed nothing as precious as a soul. For what doth it profit a man if he + gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul? But love of money hath + destroyed and cast down everything, it hath thrust aside the fear of God, taking + possession of the soul as a tyrant occupieth a fortress. And so we neglect our own + salvation and that of our children. Great is that folly, and our children are worse + than servants. Why do I speak of servants? If ye have a mule, ye take care to give it + the best groom, one who is not worthless, nor a thief, nor a drunk, and one is not + inexperienced in his work. If, however, it is necessary to have a preceptor for your + son, ye take anyone ye may meet by chance and ye give no thought to selection, + although there is no profession greater than this one. What is equal to that + profession which is concerned with directing the soul and forming the mind and + character of the young? He who hath such a task should shew more diligence than any + painter or sculptor. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } diff --git a/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-martina.yml b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-martina.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0c7f5e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-martina.yml @@ -0,0 +1,73 @@ +# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Martina, Virgin, Martyr (Jan 30). +# Sourced directly from web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/01-30.txt, +# English/Sancti/01-30.txt.

She + lost her parents while still very young, and, being inflamed with Christian zeal, she + distributed her wealth, whereof she had abundance, with great profusion among the + poor. Under the Emperor Alexander, she was commanded to sacrifice to the imaginary + gods, and refused with much boldness to commit this great wickedness. Upon this she + was again and again scourged, and mangled with iron prongs and hooks, and pieces of + broken pottery. Her limbs were cut off piece by piece with sharp swords, and boiling + tallow poured upon the living trunk. Lastly she was sent to be eaten publicly by the + wild beasts in the amphitheatre, but by the will of God they would not touch her, and + she was then thrown upon a burning pile, but still remained alive. + + + Some of her tormentors were so moved by the spectacle, that they repented, and, by + the grace of God confessing the faith of Christ, through which she remained constant, + were themselves tortured and beheaded. Martina herself lay praying, with a brightness + on her face, while a matter like milk oozed from her body along with the blood, + emitting a soft, sweet smell. She was as it were unconscious of an earthquake and + most violent thunderstorm which arose and was raging, and while the lightning struck + temples, and melted statues, she seemed in spirit rather to be seated above on a + queenly throne, praising God in heaven among the Blessed. + + + The judge being infuriated at what had taken place, and chiefly at her unbending + firmness, ordered the head of the martyr to be cut off. At the moment this was done, + a peal which shook the city was heard, like a voice calling her home, and so great was + the consternation, that it was made the means of conversion to many idolaters. The + holy body of Martina wherein she had suffered in the Pontificate of Urban I. was + discovered in the time of Urban VIII., in the very old Church called after her, + situated at the foot of the Capitoline Hill, near the Mamertine Prison, along with the + bodies of the holy martyrs Concordius, Epiphanius, and others. The Church was then + altered and restored and handsomely decorated, and then the body was replaced in it, + amid public rejoicings, with a solemn ceremony and procession. + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
