From ff5cb601aa518e37874b54017e48c0e051a118a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 21:48:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add February Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 8 of February's 10 SanctiM-track saints authored (2 left unsourced — Common-only, no proper text in the source). Two more turned out to be missed pre-1955-pool candidates rather than genuine SanctiM cases (their date's SanctiM file belongs to a different saint sharing the date). Also settles a convention for bare Gospel incipits followed by a real homily: author the homily alone as isGospel:false rather than including the incipit line under isGospel:true. --- TODO.md | 28 +++- .../chair-of-st-peter-at-antioch.yml | 145 +++++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-agatha.yml | 82 ++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-dorothea.yml | 32 ++++ .../st-ignatius-of-antioch.yml | 148 ++++++++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-matthias.yml | 70 +++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-romuald.yml | 73 +++++++++ .../nocturn-readings/st-scholastica.yml | 97 ++++++++++++ .../propers/nocturn-readings/st-simeon.yml | 33 ++++ 9 files changed, 705 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/chair-of-st-peter-at-antioch.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-agatha.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-dorothea.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-ignatius-of-antioch.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-matthias.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-romuald.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-scholastica.yml create mode 100644 src/data/propers/nocturn-readings/st-simeon.yml diff --git a/TODO.md b/TODO.md index f44597b..093b517 100644 --- a/TODO.md +++ b/TODO.md @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ across every hour and content type in this app. saints (Tridentine/Divino Afflatu-sourced, no Monastic 1617 track) are now done — see "Pre-1955 saints' Matins readings" below.

At last, when + the glimmerings of earthly conjecture were spoken, he whose Apostleship is the first in + dignity, was the first to confess his Lord. And Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the + Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him: Blessed art thou, + Simon Bar-Jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father Which is + in heaven. That is to say, For this cause art thou blessed, because My Father Himself hath + taught thee; the opinions of men have not beguiled thee, the voices of angels have not + taught thee, not flesh and blood, but He, Whose Only begotten Son I am, hath revealed Me + unto thee. + + + Thus saith the Lord unto Simon Peter: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter. That + is to say, Even as My Father hath revealed unto thee concerning Me that I am God, even so + now will I also reveal unto thee that thou art Peter; I am the sure Rock of defence, the + Corner Stone, Who make both one, I am the Foundation, beside Which other can no man lay, + and thou also art a rock, in My Strength made hard, and those things whereof I by right am + Lord, into thy hand do I give them, that thou mayst bear rule over them, for Me, and with + Me. And upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail + against it. Upon this strength of thine, whereof I am the Strength, I will build My eternal + temple, and upon the truth of thy confession of Me I will make to rise My glorious Church + whose spires shall pierce to heaven. + + + Against this confession the gates of hell shall never prevail, neither shall the bonds of + death take hold upon it. Thus saith He That is faithful and true. And as this confession + hath power to lift up to heaven them that make it, so is it able to thrust down to hell them + that gainsay it. Wherefore it is said unto the most blessed Peter: And I will give unto thee + the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound + in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. This power + passed indeed to the other Apostles also; this the Lord's will had effect in them; but it + is not in vain that it is written that that was given to one which passed from him to all. + To Peter alone were the keys given, and Peter is set as the pattern for all them that bear + rule in the Church to follow.

The citizens of Palermo and Catania + dispute as to which city had the honour of being her birthplace. It was at Catania that, + during the persecution under the Emperor Decius, she won the crown of a glorious + martyrdom. She was equally celebrated for her beauty and her chastity, and Quintianus, + Praetor of Sicily, conceived a passion for her. He tried every sort of device to overcome + her modesty, and when he found it impossible to make her consent to his wishes, he caused + her to be arrested on a charge of Christian superstition, and handed over to a woman named + Aphrodisia to be corrupted. The company, however, of this woman had no effect in shaking + her constancy in the Christian worship, nor her settled determination to preserve her + purity. Aphrodisia therefore reported to Quintianus that she was only throwing away her + pains on Agatha. He ordered her to be brought before him. Thou, said he, art the daughter + of a noble family; dost thou feel no shame in living the degraded and slavish life of a + Christian? Agatha answered him, The lowliness and bondage of a Christian are far nobler + than the estate and pride of a king. + + + Then the Praetor, being incensed against her, gave her the alternative of either + sacrificing to the gods, or being submitted to the torture; and as she remained firm in + the faith, she was buffeted and sent back to prison. The next day she was brought forth, + and, because her resolution was still unshaken, she was stretched on the rack and tortured + with pieces of white-hot metal. Then her breasts were cut off. When Agatha received this + injury she cried out to Quintianus, Cruel tyrant, art thou not ashamed to do this to me, + having thyself sucked at a mother's breast? She was remanded again to prison and put in + irons. That night an old man, who called himself an Apostle of Christ, came to her, and + healed her wounds. The following day she was brought for the last time before the Praetor. + Her constancy was unmoved, and she was rolled on sharp potsherds and live embers. + + + At that time the whole city was shaken with a great earthquake, and two of the Praetor's + dearest friends, Silvinus and Falconius, were killed by falling walls. The townspeople were + in an uproar, and Quintianus, in fear of a riot, ordered Agatha, who was half dead, to be + carried back to prison quietly. Then she made the following prayer: O Lord, Who hast been + my Keeper from my childhood, Who hast taken from me all love for this present world, Who + hast strengthened me so that I am more than conqueror over the cruelty of the executioners, + receive my spirit, and with these words she passed to heaven.

When on his journey thither he arrived at Smyrna, where Polycarp, the disciple of + John, was Bishop, he wrote an Epistle to the Ephesians, another to the Magnesians, a third + to the Trallians, and a fourth to the Romans, and after leaving Smyrna, he addressed a + further Epistle to the Philadelphians, and another to the Smyrnians, along with a private + Epistle to Polycarp, to whose care he commended the Church of Antioch.

I may + say I am chained day and night to ten leopards, for indeed the soldiers, who have charge of + me, are no better. The more courteous I am to them, the worse they use me. But still their + wickedness is good schooling for me, though I know that my mere sufferings cannot in + themselves gain me justification. I earnestly wish for the beasts which are to devour me; + at any rate, I pray they may put me out of pain quickly, and fly on me willingly, that I be + not like some other Martyrs, whose bodies the animals have refused to touch.

Or secondly: he that loveth his life shall lose it; + love not then that which thou shalt lose; love not this present life, so that thou be + thereby in jeopardy of losing life eternal. + + + What this second interpretation is the meaning of the Gospel appeareth most probably from + the words which follow: And he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto life + eternal. From which we may suppose the sense of the first words to be: He that loveth his + life in this world shall lose it unto life eternal. This is a great and marvellous saying, + showing how a man may so love life as to lose life, and so hate life as to keep life.
