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.

Franciscus in oppido Salesio, unde famíliæ cognomen, piis et nobílibus paréntibus
natus, a téneris annis futuræ sanctitátis indícia præbuit, morum innocéntia et
gravitáte. Adoléscens liberálibus disciplinis eruditus, mox philosophíæ ac theologíæ
Parisiis operam dedit; et, ne quid sibi deésset ad animi culturam, juris utriusque
lauream summa cum laude Patavii obtinuit. In sacra æde Lauretana perpetuæ
virginitátis votum, quo pridem Parisiis se obstrinxerat, innovávit; a cujus virtútis
proposito nullis umquam dæmonum fraudibus, nullis sensuum illécebris pótuit
dimoveri.
Recusáta in Sabáudiæ senatu amplíssima dignitate, clericali milítiæ nomen dedit. Tum
sacerdotio initiátus et Genevénsis ecclésiæ præposituram adeptus, ejus muneris
partes adeo perfecte explevit, ut eum Granerius epíscopus vindicándis ab hæresi
Calviniana Chaballicensibus aliisque Genevæ finitimis pópulis, divini verbi
præcónem destinarit. Quam expeditiónem álacri animo suscípiens, asperrima quæque
perpéssus est, sæpe ab hæréticis conquisítus ad necem, variisque calumniis et
insídiis vexatus. Sed inter tot discrímina et agones, insuperábilis ejus constántia
semper enituit; Deique ope protectus, septuagínta duo míllia hæreticórum ad
catholicam fidem reduxísse dícitur, inter quos multi nobilitate et doctrina
insignes numerántur.
Mortuo Granerio, qui eum sibi coadjutórem decerni curáverat, epíscopus consecratus,
sanctitátis suæ radios circumquaque diffudit, zelo ecclesiásticæ disciplinæ, pacis
studio, misericórdia in páuperes, omnique virtúte conspicuus. Ad divini cultus
augméntum novum ordinem sanctimoniálium instituit, a Visitatióne beátæ Vírginis
nuncupátum, sub regula sancti Augustíni; cui addidit constitutiónes sapiéntia,
discretióne et suavitáte mirábiles. Suis étiam scriptis cælésti doctrina refertis
Ecclésiam illustrávit, quibus iter ad christianam perfectiónem tutum et planum
demonstrat. Annum denique agens quinquagesimum quintum, dum e Gállia Annesium
regréditur, post Sacrum in die sancti Joánnis Evangelistæ Lugduni celebrátum, gravi
morbo correptus, sequénti die migrávit in cælum, anno Dómini millesimo sexcentésimo
vigesimo secundo. Ejus corpus Annesium delátum, in ecclésia moniálium dicti ordinis
honorifice cónditum fuit, cœpitque statis miraculis claréscere. Quibus rite
probátis, ab Alexandro septimo Pontifice máximo in Sanctórum númerum relátus est,
assignáta ejus festivitáti die vigesima nona Januarii; et a summo Pontifice Pio
nono, ex sacrórum Rituum Congregatiónis consulto, universalis Ecclésiæ Doctor fuit
declaratus.

Francis was born of godly and noble parents, in the town of Sales, from which his
family take their name of de Sales. 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.

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. Ingenio enim mitis atque ad pietátem pronus, singulari se gerebat
auctoritate inter æquales, quorum lites dirímere, faciles rixas compónere, turpia
verba jocosque lascivos compéscere mature cœpit. Tum verbis eos jucundis ad se
advocare, ludis preces insérere, quæ sacra elóquia in templo audivísset mirábili
sermónis copia ac dulcédine referre, ad Pœniténtiæ et Eucharistiæ sacraménta rite
suscipienda puerulos quam primum quamque creberrime inducere sategit. Oris quoque
decor verecundus, morum suávitas, atque innocentíssimæ vitæ candor ómnium animos ad
eum pertrahebant. Licet vero, familiáris rei angustia pressus labórum ærumnarúmque
plenam adolescéntiam égerit, in id tamen unum hílaris ac Deo fidens contendit, ut
sacerdotio augerétur.
Voti tandem compos effectus, Cheriensem civitátem primum, ac dein Augustam
Taurinórum pétiit, quo acrius, beato Josepho Cafasso magistro, et in sciéntia
sanctórum profíceret et ad sacram morum doctrinam addiscéndam ánimum adjungeret.
Ibi autem, cum voluntátis inclinatióne tum superno instinctu incitatus, suum in
adolescéntulos ánimum convértit, ut prima iis christianæ sapiéntiæ traderet
rudimenta. Quorum cum fieret in dies major numerus, sedem ad eos coadunándos
stábilem ac firmam, haud sine cælésti afflatu, ásperis et diuturnis difficultátibus
superatis, in illa urbis parte collocávit, quæ vulgo Valdocco appellátur, in eamque
rem totus incúbuit. Paulo vero post, Vírgine Deípara auxiliante, quæ ei puérulo per
visum in somnis futura innúerat, Joánnes Salesianórum Societátem institúere
decrevit, cujus esset præsertim juveníles ánimas Christo lucrifácere; item novam
familiam suscépit constituéndam sacrárum vírginum, quæ, ab Auxiliatrice Dei Matre
nuncupátæ, adolescéntulas dirígerent in vias Dómini; quibus demum pium
Cooperatórum cœtum adjecit ad Salesianórum ópera studio ac pietáte fovenda. Itaque
brevi factum est, ut permagnam et christianæ et civíli societáti utilitátem
afferret.
Animárum enim studio flagrans, nulli pepércit labori nullique impensæ, ut festórum
diérum asceteria pro adolescentulis, pupillórum hospitia, pusiónum operariórum
scholas, ædes púeris alendis, instituéndis, templa Deo longe lateque per orbem
excitaret. Simul Christi fidem in Subalpinis verbo et exemplo fovére, per totam
Italiam optimos libros conficiendo, edendo, divulgando tutari, Evangélii præcones
ad gentes infidéles sæpius mitténdo propagare non desiit. Simplex ac rectus homo
Dei, ad omne opus bonum instructus, omnígenis virtútibus flóruit, quas incensíssimæ
caritátis ardor alebat. Mente in Deum constanter erecta ac supernis charismátibus
cumulátus, nullis sanctíssimus vir, nec minis terreri, nec labóribus fatigari, nec
curis ópprimi, neque rebus adversis perturbari videbátur. Tria autem pietátis
offícia suis maxime commendávit: ut quam sæpíssime ad sacram exhomologésim
sacramque synáxim accederent, ut Mariam Auxiliatricem peramanter cólerent, ut
Pontifici máximo ceu fílii addictíssimi obsequeréntur. Vitæ cursum, tot tantisque
opéribus ac labóribus refertum, confecit pridie Kalendas Februarias anno salútis
millesimo octingentésimo octogesimo octavo, ætátis septuagesimo tertio. Quem
multis clarum miraculis Pius undecimus, Pontifex maximus, anno millesimo
nongentésimo vigesimo nono Beatórum, quinquennio post, die solemni Paschæ, décimo
nono exeunte sæculo a peracta humani generis Redemptióne, géntibus ex orbe
universo in Urbem confluéntibus, Sanctórum ordínibus adserebat.

John Bosco, born in the poor town of Castelnuovo d'Asti, and having lost his father
at the age of two, was raised by his mother in a most saintly manner, and from his
earliest years gave evidence of an extraordinary future. 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.

Vide quot modis nos inducat Dóminus ad curam vel minórum fratrum? Ne ítaque
dixeris: Ærarius est ille, aut calceórum sutor, agricola, insípiens, ut ideo
despícias illum. Ne enim in illud mali íncidas, perpende quot modis te inducat, ut
modeste agas et eórum curam geras. Puerum in médio státuit et ait: Efficiámini ut
párvuli: et: Quicúmque suscéperit párvulum talem, me suscipit: et: Qui
scandalizaverit, extrema patiétur. Si ergo Deus ita gaudet de párvulo qui repertus
est, cur tu despícias eos quos Deus tam sollicite curat, cum oporteret ánimam ipsam
tradere pro uno ex párvulis istis? Tanta quippe est Deo cura de anima, ut ne Fílio
quidem suo pepércerit. Quare, óbsecro, primo dilúculo cum a domo exiérimus, hunc
unum scopum habeámus et hanc præcipue sollicitúdinem, ut periclitántem eripiámus.
Non loquor hic de sensibili periculo; hoc enim ne periculum quidem est; sed de
periculo ánimæ, quod homínibus parat diabolus.
Improbus, inquis, difficile tolerátur. Atque ideo debes illi amóre jungi, ut eum a
vítio removeas, ut convértas et ad virtútem redúcas. At non obtemperat, inquis,
neque consílium admittit. Unde hoc nosti? An exhortátus es et emendare studuísti?
Hortátus sæpe sum, inquies. Quóties? Sæpius: semel et íterum. Idne sæpius vocas?
Etiamsi per totam vitam id fecisses, nec deficere, nec desperáre oportebat. Non
vides quómodo nos Deus semper hortátur per Prophétas, per Apóstolos, per
Evangelistas? Quid ígitur? Num recte operamur? Num in ómnibus obtemperamus? Minime.
Num ideo finem fecit admonendi?
Nihil quippe tam pretiósum est quam ánima: quid enim prodest homini, si mundum
univérsum lucrétur, ánimæ vero suæ detriméntum patiátur? Verum ómnia pervértit et
dejécit pecuniárum amor, Deique timórem decussit, sicut tyrannus arcem sic ánimas
occupans. Idcirco et filiórum et nostram neglígimus salútem. Hinc magna insipiéntia;
hinc líberi servis vilióres fiunt. Ecquid de servis loquor? Mulum si quis habeat,
multum curat ut agasónem illi optimum provideat, non ímprobum, non furacem, non
temuléntum, non artis suæ imperítum: si autem fílio pædagogum dare opus sit, casu et
sine delectu obvium quemque excipimus; etsi hac arte nulla sit major. Quid par illi
arti, quæ dirigendæ juvenis menti et índoli incumbit? Qui tali instructus est
facultate, plus diligéntiæ exhibeat oportet, quam quivis pictor aut statuarius.

Do ye see in how many ways the Lord leadeth us on to the care of our lesser brethren?
Therefore do not say: He is only a taxpayer, or a shoemaker, or a farmer, or that he
is foolish, that ye may in that way look down on him. 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.

Martina virgo Romana, patre consulari, illustri genere nata, teneris, adhuc annis
orbáta paréntibus, christianæ pietátis ardore succensa, divítias, quibus affluebat,

Martina was a maiden of a most illustrious Roman family, daughter of a Consul. 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.
