will cf0ecdf4c5 Close latent Matins Gospel-homily dedup gap
Deploy / deploy (push) Has started running
When a Gospel+homily pair is folded into one pool entry, the homily's
own text was never registered in seenReadingText -- only the Gospel
pericope's text was. Not live for any date today, but the same
structural mistake already fixed once for two ids pooling the same
Gregory the Great excerpt: a later pooled id whose solo lesson happens
to share a homily's exact text would render as a visible duplicate.

will 9d671751d9 Annotate Matins octave readings with their occasion too
The octave-reading branch never called withOccasion/occasionName at
all, so an active octave's own reading always showed a bare source
even when pooled alongside other content on the same day -- the same
missing-annotation gap just fixed for plain-Sunday and saint/temporal
readings, in a fourth branch that predates that helper. octave-readings'
source is bilingual ({la, en}), unlike nocturn-readings' plain string,
so the occasion suffix is appended to both language slots directly
rather than routed through withOccasion itself.

will ff94000f48 Annotate plain-Sunday-sourced Matins readings with their occasion
occasionName() only recognized saints, named temporal feasts, and Ember
days, so any reading pooled under a plain governing-Sunday id
(post-pentecost-15, month-week-092, etc.) -- the most common id shape
in the whole pool -- silently got no "(for ...)" annotation. This is
why Sept 6's Gregory the Great homily and its paired Augustine Gospel
homily showed up with no indication of why they were present. Falls
back to the same getDayLabel() the day's own heading already uses.

will 28b29c71d2 Author the remaining 6 Matins Nocturn 3 gaps found last commit
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m17s
Unlike the ~110 files fixed previously (a homily present with no
paired Gospel), these 6 had no Nocturn 3 at all: nativity-bvm.yml
(Matt 1:1-16 + St. Jerome), ss-cletus-and-marcellinus.yml/
ss-soter-and-caius.yml (Common-of-Popes, Matt 16:13-19 + Leo's Sermon
2 on his own Election, reused from st-martin-i.yml), ss-cornelius-and-
cyprian.yml (Common-of-Martyrs, Luke 21:9-19 + Gregory's Homily 35),
ss-seven-brothers-rufina-and-secunda.yml (a proper override, Matt
12:46-50 + Gregory's Homily 3), and st-anacletus.yml (an alternate
"rubrica 1570 aut rubrica 1617" variant carrying real content the
file's modern-rubric default lacks entirely -- Luke 14:26-33 +
Gregory's Homily 37, English composed directly from the Latin where
no reference-engine translation lines up with this Lectio split).

npm test (2029 passed) and tsc --noEmit both pass; live-verified via
resolveOrdo on all 6 saints' real dates.

will 4bd05e68f0 Author missing Matins Gospel pericopes across nocturn-readings store
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m56s
~110 of 355 nocturn-readings files had a patristic homily with no
paired Gospel-pericope text -- the homily discussing a Gospel that was
never itself transcribed into the file. Closed in two waves (the first
pass's source-string regex missed many real cases where the citation
lived only in a header comment or wasn't named at all), each entry
sourced from divinum-officium-reference's own Missale files (following
Sancti/Commune redirects where a feast reuses another's Gospel) and
verified per file rather than assumed -- several candidates turned out
to be genuine Nocturn 2 content or Common-of-saints cross-references
with no proper Gospel of their own, correctly left untouched.

Includes both live-reported gaps: St. Joseph of Cupertino's own Bk. II
Homily 38 (Matt 22:1-14) and the Vigil of St. Matthew's Ambrose homily
(Luke 5:27-32).

TODO.md logs the closed item plus a new, distinct follow-up: a handful
of files with no Nocturn 3 content authored at all (not just an
unpaired Gospel), found along the way.

npm test (2029 passed) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

will 65a1f359e6 Fix Matins reading-pool ordering/leak bugs and redundant day-label commemoration
- nocturnReadingIds no longer lets a demoted commemoration's temporal id
  (equal to the plain governing-Sunday temporalId) sneak a Sunday's own
  homily into an unrelated weekday's pool via the commemorations loop —
  a second code path than the one a prior fix gated, affecting 18
  days/year.
- Reading pool order now follows id priority (winner first, then every
  temporal commemoration, then every sanctoral commemoration) instead of
  raw nocturn-tag/array order, matching the day label's own
  temporal-then-sanctoral convention.
- gospelReadingPart now falls back to the paired homily's own responsory
  when the Gospel entry has none of its own, instead of silently
  dropping it.
- Patristic source labels now show "(for <occasion>)" so a reader can
  tell which occasion a pooled reading belongs to on a multi-reading day.
- collectCommemorations no longer restates the plain generic temporal
  label (e.g. "Saturday in the 15th week after Trinity") once anything
  else is already being celebrated — general, not Ember-specific.
  Updated 4 day-label tests that encoded the old behavior.

Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m56s
No liturgical precedent exists for this book; the verse's antithesis
("the hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and
his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him") is
reordered so the hopeful clause repeats after the V., not the wrath
clause. Closes the per-book pool at 68/72 -- the last 4 have no
sourceable material at all.

both from that accented Missa Lectio.

Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m51s
User-directed: compose Ruth's own responsory from Ruth 1:16-17 ("thy
people shall be my people, and thy God my God") on the verse's own
merit. Unlike deut/rom/bar, this text has no liturgical precedent
anywhere in the reference source (no Nuptial Mass file even exists
there) -- flagged that distinction before proceeding; user confirmed
explicitly.

Since data/scripture/ruth-1.yml (the usual bulk import) carries no
accents, the Latin was hand-accented rather than transcribed, but
cross-checked word-by-word against already-accented occurrences of
the same words elsewhere in the corpus rather than guessed freehand.

will 3ee87098c0 Note user's explanation for the Ezra Introit citation mismatch
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m53s
Vulgate "Esdras" numbering is genuinely ambiguous: 1/2 Esdras is
canonical Ezra/Nehemiah, but there's also a separate non-canonical
Greek "Esdras A" (the Vulgate appendix's own 3 Esdras, sometimes
itself called "1 Esdras" in Septuagint/Orthodox numbering) -- a
different text this project has never digitized. The reference
engine's own citation never disambiguates, so this can't be
confirmed, but it cleanly explains why the Pasc7-2.txt Introit's
"Esdr 2:36-37" citation doesn't match our canonical Ezra text.
Practical outcome unchanged (ezra stays unseeded), now documented
with a clear reason rather than an open mystery.

will e52c285f99 Add bar (Baruch), found in the Missa propers, not the Horas
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m54s
User pointed to missa/Latin/Tempora/Quad6-6.txt -- the Mass propers, a
directory tree this whole responsory search had never once checked
(everything so far searched horas/, the Divine Office proper). The
Easter Vigil Mass's own fourth prophecy ([Proph_Baruch3], Bar 3:9-38,
"Audi, Israel, mandata vitae") is genuine, real, accented liturgical
Latin -- just never part of Matins at all.

Composed bar the same way as deut/rom: built from that prophecy's own
climactic close ("Hic est Deus noster... Post haec in terris visus
est, et cum hominibus conversatus est" -- read at the Vigil because
early exegetes saw "seen upon earth, and conversed with men" as a
prophecy of the Incarnation).

Extended the Missa check to the other 6 already-absent books too --
genuinely zero citations anywhere. Ezra turned up one thin, ambiguous
Missa Introit citation that doesn't match its own cited verse; left
unseeded rather than force it.

65 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded -- this closes the per-book
responsory pool. npm test (2029 passed) and tsc --noEmit pass;

Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m53s
Composed rom from Rom 13:11-12 ("the night is past, the day is at
hand... let us cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour
of light") -- the standing year-round ferial Lauds Capitulum, also
used at Advent I's own Capitulum. Genuine accented Vulgate/
Douay-Rheims text, never historically assembled into its own Matins
responsory, same approach as deut. User-confirmed before adding.

64 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded -- every book actually used in
the bible-plan has a real responsory, whether transcribed (62) or
composed from genuine already-liturgical text (deut, rom). The
remaining 8 have no citation anywhere in the source at all; there's
nothing further to check.

Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m55s
User found a lead reading a patristic homily (English/Sancti/01-02.txt)
that quotes Deut 32:11's eagle image. Deuteronomy has no historical
Matins responsory anywhere in the reference source, so unlike every
other entry in this pool, this one is composed rather than
transcribed: a real R./V. pairing built from the Canticle of Moses'
own genuine verses (Latin/Psalterium/Psalmorum/Psalm226.txt, sung at
Lauds), verified against data/scripture/deut-32.yml to confirm the
citation is standard verse 11 and not the breviary's own internal
chant-verse-numbering (32:15-16) for the same text. Documented plainly
in the data file's own header as vu's composition, not presented as
historically attested.

will d39359e5ac Carry over unreached Advent bible-plan readings into Christmastide
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m55s
Advent's own reading plan (advent-1-sunday through advent-4-saturday,
28 rows for a full 4-week Advent) is always longer than real Advent
runs. Advent's last real day is always Dec 23 (Dec 24 is the Vigil of
Christmas's own temporal id), while Advent 1 Sunday lands anywhere
from Nov 27 to Dec 3 -- even the longest possible Advent is one row
short of the full plan, and the shortest is a whole week short. Every
year, at least the plan's last row never reaches its own natural date.

Added adventCarryoverReadings to propers/bible-plan.ts: whatever
doesn't land on its own natural date now carries forward one reading
per day starting Christmas Day, pooled alongside whatever
Christmastide's own calendar-dated rows already have -- never
replacing them. This is the one place in bible-plan.ts that needs
real calendar-year awareness (calendar/temporal.ts's adventStart).

4 new tests covering the shortest (2028) and a long (2027) Advent,
pooling behavior, and the Dec-24 boundary. npm test (2029 passed) and

Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m51s
User pushback on Canticles being "confirmed absent" -- right instinct
to check the Commune files, which redirected productively: the same
Lectio-citation survey run against Sancti (individual saint/feast
files) rather than just Tempora found real, genuine content:

- cant: the Visitation (July 2) reads straight through the Song of
  Songs, blending it with the Visitation narrative itself.
- lev: the Purification of the BVM's own Leviticus purification-law
  reading is the feast's actual reason for being.
- num: the Exaltation of the Holy Cross's bronze-serpent/Cross
  typology (Num 21:6-9).

Re-checked the other 9 already-"confirmed absent" books against
Sancti too -- still genuinely absent, no alternate abbreviation
missed.

Romans and 9 books with no citation anywhere (Tempora or Sancti)

Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m49s
Asked to translate the 15 remaining "real Latin, no English" books.
None needed translation: the whole post-Epiphany reading season
(Galatians/Ephesians/Philippians/Colossians/1-2 Timothy/Titus/
Philemon/2 Thessalonians) turns out to have no distinct responsory
content of its own -- every feria file references 2 Corinthians' own
week (already bilingual) by weekday position. Same for 2 Peter/2-3
John/Jude, which reference Ascension Day's own responsories (act).

Only Romans genuinely has nothing: every citing file borrows an
unrelated feast's own proper responsory (Circumcision, Christmas Day,
a January saint), never anything Romans-specific. Left unseeded --
using one would repeat the Sacred Heart/Jeremiah mismatch this pool
already avoids elsewhere.

59 of 72 books now seeded -- every book with any usable Latin content
in the source at all. The remaining 13 (Romans plus 12 books with no
citation anywhere) are the real, final gap.

will f0b771a02a Fix real correctness bug: pool keys must match canonical book form
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m50s
bible-plan.ts normalizes a reading's book through canonicalBook()
(scripture/index.ts's BOOK_ALIASES map) before calling
getResponsoryForBook -- so the pool must be keyed by the canonical
form, not the bible-plan YAML's own raw book code. 12 of the 33 keys
seeded earlier today used the raw form and would have silently
resolved to undefined in the real app despite passing an initial
"live verification" that called getResponsoryForBook directly
(bypassing the normalization the real call site always applies).

Renamed: 1macc->1mach, 2macc->2mach, 1sam->1reg, 2sam->2reg,
1kgs->3reg, 2kgs->4reg, jdt->jdth, zeph->soph, obad->abd, jonah->jon,
hos->osee, mic->mich.

tag, missing the reference engine's underscore-suffixed [ResponsoryN_]
template convention that holds the real text (a bare tag often just
@:-references it, alongside a Cistercian-rubric variant). This wrongly
made 1sam/2sam/1kgs/2kgs/2macc look untranslated in English.

Fixed the script and hand-followed @Tempora/X:ResponsoryN cross-file
references to add 1sam, 2sam, 1kgs, 2kgs, 2macc, zach, amos, and agg --
19 of ~66 bible-plan books now seeded (up from 11).

npm test (2025 passed) and tsc --noEmit pass; live-verified via
getResponsoryForBook resolving real text for every new key at every
pool index.

prov's/ezek's own entries respectively, confirmed by the reference

this app's loose book-level responsory match is historically authentic,
not invented.

Skipped 1sam (macro-only responsory text, not worth resolving for one
book) and 2sam/1kgs/2kgs/2macc/zach/amos/agg (real Latin but no

Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m52s
The per-book responsory pool (Nocturn 1 scripture readings) only had `isa`
seeded; the much bigger, previously untracked gap was that 272 of 355
nocturn-readings/*.yml files (Nocturn 2/3 patristic readings) had no
responsory at all. Added a sibling per-Common-category pool, sourced from
the reference engine's static Commune text files, covering all 19 of vu's
real `common:` category ids (several confirmed aliases of the same
underlying file). Wired into matins.ts's reading assembly as a fallback
when a reading has no proper responsory of its own. Also expanded the
per-book pool with `gen` and `jer`.

Live-verified end-to-end (St. Francis de Sales, Ss. Cornelius/Cyprian, Ss.
Euphemia/Lucy/Geminianus). npm test (2025 passed) and tsc --noEmit pass.

will 58b201dc23 Build the Paschaltide "Suffragium Paschale" mechanism
Throughout Paschaltide (Eastertide/Ascensiontide/Pentecost), two
things happen wherever they'd otherwise show: the ordinary
5-suffrage set (Cross/BVM/Joseph/Apostles/Peace) collapses into one
alleluia-form "Suffragium Paschale" (Lauds and Vespers each have
their own distinct antiphon here, unlike the ordinary suffrages,
which share identical text at both hours), and the ferial-Preces
litany drops entirely rather than being replaced. Live-verified
against the reference source's own [Suffragium] macro directly,
byte-identical between Monastic Tridentinum 1617 and Tridentine 1906.

Exported isPaschaltide(season) from resolve-common.ts (wraps the
pre-existing PASCHALTIDE_SEASONS set). resolveSuffrages gained a
third hourId parameter to pick the right antiphon; the Preces
omission is a small new check gated on the same isFerialOrVigil
predicate that already selects the ferial litany form.

Authored lauds-suffrage-paschale.yml and vespers-suffrage-
paschale.yml -- English on the Vespers antiphon is this project's own
translation (the reference engine leaves it untranslated) and marked
draft; everything else verified.

Closes the last item in TODO.md's "Mechanism gaps" priority tier.

### Paschaltide's "Suffragium Paschale" mechanism (2026-09-04)
Closed the highest-priority remaining mechanism gap. Live-verified against Divinum Officium (both
Monastic Tridentinum 1617 and Tridentine 1906, byte-identical between the two tracks — the source's
own `[Suffragium]` macro literally has a `(sed tempore paschali) @:Suffragium Paschale` override,
2026-04-20, a plain Eastertide feria): throughout the whole Paschaltide window (`eastertide`/
`ascensiontide`/`pentecost` — the same boundary `PASCHALTIDE_SEASONS` already governs elsewhere in
this store), two things happen whenever they'd otherwise show at all:
1. The ordinary 5-suffrage set (Cross/BVM/Joseph/Apostles/Peace) collapses into one single
alleluia-form "Suffragium Paschale" block — one antiphon (different at Lauds, "Crucifíxus
surréxit a mórtuis...", vs. Vespers, "Crucem sanctam súbiit...", unlike the ordinary 4/5
suffrages, which share identical text at both hours), one shared versicle, one shared collect.
2. The ferial-Preces litany (`lauds-preces-feriales`/`vespers-preces-feriales`, sourced from
Tridentine 1906/1910 since Monastic 1617 has none at all — see that file's own header) drops
entirely rather than being replaced by anything ("Preces Feriales{omittitur}" live) — a
Sunday/feast's own short litany (`lauds-short-litany`) is untouched, a separate, universal
collect-opening dialogue unrelated to this ferial-specific one.
Exported a new `isPaschaltide(season)` helper from `hours/resolve-common.ts` (wraps the existing
`PASCHALTIDE_SEASONS` set, previously private to that file) and used it in both
`resolveSuffrages` (gated after the pre-existing "omit suffrages entirely" checks — Double+/active
octave/Advent-Christmastide-Passiontide already drop suffrages regardless of season, unaffected)
and a new check in `hours/lauds.ts`'s/`hours/vespers.ts`'s own `'lauds-preces'`/`'vespers-preces'`
cases (gated on `isFerialOrVigil(day)`, matching the existing predicate that already selects the
ferial litany in the first place). `resolveSuffrages` gained a third `hourId: 'lauds' | 'vespers'`
parameter (both call sites updated) to pick the right antiphon.
Authored `lauds-suffrage-paschale.yml` and `vespers-suffrage-paschale.yml` — English on the Vespers
antiphon is this project's own translation and left `draft` (the reference engine's own English
render leaves that one antiphon untranslated, Latin-only); everything else `verified`.
Verified end-to-end via `resolveOrdo` on real dates for Lauds (both the suffrage collapse and the
Preces omission fire together correctly on a clean Eastertide feria, 2026-04-20) and via a direct
`resolveSuffrages` unit call plus a separately-found clean Vespers evening (2026-04-15, since this
particular stretch of Eastertide 2026 is otherwise densely packed with First-Vespers anticipations
and octaves — Easter's own, the Patronage of St. Joseph's, Ascension's, Pentecost's — that already
correctly suppress suffrages for other, pre-existing reasons and would have made a false negative
look like a false positive). `npm test` (2025 passed, no pre-existing tests exercised this path at
all) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass.
### Matins responsory pools: per-book expansion + new per-Common-category pool (2026-09-04)
User request: real Matins responsories for each Bible book (sourced from the reference engine),
and for the patristic (Nocturn 2/3 homiletic) readings too. Investigation found the patristic side
was a much bigger, previously-untracked gap than the per-book pool's own "expand beyond `isa`" item
already on this list: 272 of 355 `data/propers/nocturn-readings/*.yml` files have no `responsory`
field at all — most of the calendar, not a handful of stragglers.
**Per-book pool** (`data/hours/matins-responsories-by-book.yml`): added `gen` (2 entries, Latin/
Tempora/Quadp1-1.txt — Monday of Septuagesima week, the historical start of the Genesis "Historia"
cycle, a plain ferial with no overriding feast; only 2 entries because the source's own English
translation is missing a 3rd) and `jer` (3 entries, Latin/Tempora/Quad6-2.txt — Tuesday of Holy
Week, "Feria privilegiata," genuine ferial Jeremiah/Lamentations content). Deliberately did *not*
seed `jer` from Pent02-5.txt despite it citing Jeremiah too — that day's Rank is Sacred Heart
(Duplex I classis), so its Responsory1-3 are the feast's own proper text, not genuine ferial-book
content, even though its Lectio verses are borrowed from Jeremiah. Still only 3 of 72 books used
in the user's own bible-plan seeded (`isa`, `gen`, `jer`) — the rest is deferred bulk content, one
real live-sourced query per book, same pattern.
**New per-Common-category pool** (`data/hours/matins-responsories-by-common.yml` +
`getResponsoryForCommon` in `src/propers/matins-responsories.ts`, sibling to the existing
`getResponsoryForBook`): keyed by `SaintRecord.common` instead of a scripture book, same "loose
match, cycle by index" design. Unlike the per-book pool (scattered one query per book, across the
whole liturgical year), a Commune category's responsories live in one static file each
(`divinum-officium-reference`'s `web/www/horas/{Latin,English}/Commune/CN.txt`) — 9 files
(`C1`-`C8`, `C11`) transcribed directly, cover all 19 of vu's real `common:` category ids (several
are genuine aliases, confirmed by reading each candidate file's own `@Commune/CX` inheritance line
rather than guessed — e.g. `common-of-a-confessor-doctor`/`-pope` inherit C4 unchanged, same pool
as `common-of-a-confessor-bishop`; `common-of-an-abbot`/`-not-bishop`/`several-confessors` inherit
C5 unchanged; `common-of-a-martyr` inherits C2 unchanged; `common-of-a-virgin` inherits C6
unchanged; `common-of-a-widow`/`several-women-martyrs` inherit C7 unchanged — see the data file's
own header for the full mapping). Not seeded: `common-of-an-angel`/`-an-evangelist`/`-a-vigil` and
the `proper-to-*` ids — none of these are real Commune categories with a responsory file to source
from (angels/evangelists have their own proper content instead).
Wired into `hours/matins.ts`'s `nocturnReadingPart`/`gospelReadingPart`: when a reading's own
`responsory` field is absent, falls back to `getResponsoryForCommon(getSaintRecord(id)?.common,
index)` — `index` is the reading's position within that same id's own file (a new `commonPoolIndex`
counter in `buildReadingPool`'s assembly loop), so a saint with several undated readings still gets
distinct responsories across them rather than the pool's first entry repeated. A temporal/octave id
(no `common` category) still correctly gets `undefined` — an honest absence, not a wrong guess.
Live-verified end-to-end via `resolveOrdo`: St. Francis de Sales (2026-01-29, `common-of-a-
confessor-bishop`, previously responsory-less) now resolves a real Nocturn 3 responsory; Ss.
Cornelius and Cyprian plus Ss. Euphemia, Lucy, and Geminianus (both on 2026-09-16, both `common-
of-several-martyrs`) each resolve their own responsory from the same pool, confirming the
per-saint-file cycling index doesn't leak across different saints sharing a day. `npm test` (2025
passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass.
### Matins responsory pools: 8 more books seeded (2026-09-04)
Follow-up to the same-day entry above, continuing the per-book pool's bulk-content pass — same
"one real source per book" method, no mechanism changes. Added `exod` (Latin/Tempora/Quad4-0.txt,
Sunday IV in Lent, its own ordinary rank — the burning bush through the Song of the Sea), `prov`
(081-1.txt, August week 1's own ferial), `tob` (093-0.txt, September week 3's own Sunday), `ezek`
(111-1.txt, November week 1's own ferial), and `1macc` (101-1.txt, October week 1's own ferial) —
all bilingual, all genuinely their own book's content, no overriding rank.
Also added `sir` and `sap` (identical to `prov`'s own entries) and `dan` (identical to `ezek`'s) —
not guessed reuse, confirmed by reading each week's own reference-engine file: the August "Wisdom
literature" weeks (081 Prov, 083 Sap, 084-085 Sir) and the November "prophetic" weeks (111 Ezek,
113 Dan) `@`-reference *the same* underlying responsory set regardless of which specific book that
week's Lectio actually reads that day — a real confirmation, from the reference engine's own data,
that this app's "loose, book-level match, not exact-citation" responsory design (see the pool's own
header, and the 2026-08 user direction it's sourced from) matches how these responsories genuinely
worked historically, not an invention to paper over a smaller pool.
Skipped, deliberately: `1sam` (1 Reg) — every Pent01 week file's responsories are macro references
(`@:Responsory1_ (sed rubrica cisterciensis) ...`, `[Rule] Initia cum responsory`) rather than
literal text, needing the base macro template resolved with per-file substitutions to get real
text; not worth the complexity for one book this pass. `2sam`/`1kgs`/`2kgs`/`2macc` (2/3/4 Reg, 2
Mac) — real Latin responsories exist in every week's own file, but the reference engine's own
English translation is entirely absent for all of them (checked every Post-Pentecost week each book
appears in); left unseeded rather than guessing a translation, consistent with only seeding books
that have real bilingual source text. `zach`/`amos`/`agg` (minor prophets) — same English-translation
gap, but Latin is real and available (Latin/Tempora/114-4.txt, 115-4.txt, 115-5.txt) if a future
pass wants to add an own-translation draft English side (see `vu-prefer-text-over-missing` memory
for the precedent).
Now 11 of 72 bible-plan books seeded: `isa`, `gen`, `jer`, `exod`, `prov`, `sir`, `sap`, `tob`,
`ezek`, `dan`, `1macc`. `npm test` (2025 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified via
`getResponsoryForBook` resolving real text for every new key.
### Matins responsory pools: a real extraction bug found, 8 more books unblocked (2026-09-04)
User pushback on the previous entry's "5 books skipped, no English available" claim ("look at the
secular office for most of the books") — right call: re-checking found a genuine bug, not a real
source gap. The extraction script's Responsory-block regex only matched a bare `[ResponsoryN]` tag;
it missed the reference engine's own `[ResponsoryN_]` convention (an underscore-suffixed literal
template tag holding the real text, which a plain `[ResponsoryN]` often just `@:`-references
alongside a Cistercian-rubric variant) — so every file using that convention looked like it had no
English translation when the real text was sitting right there under a different tag name. Fixed
the script to prefer the `_`-suffixed tag's literal body over a bare `@:`-reference.
This unblocked `1sam` (Latin/Tempora/Pent01-1.txt, its own genuine 3-entry set — the young Samuel's
call and consecration) outright. Chasing the `@Tempora/X:ResponsoryN` cross-file references (not
resolved by the extraction script, hand-followed instead) also unblocked:
- `2sam`/`1kgs`/`2kgs` (2/3/4 Reg) — all three books' own week files `@`-reference the *same*
single entry, Tempora/Pent03-1Feria's Responsory1 (2 Samuel 24's census/plague narrative,
"Recordáre, Dómine, testaménti tui") — read directly, not guessed, same "loose match" reuse
pattern already established for the Wisdom-literature and Ezekiel/Daniel weeks. One entry only;
Responsory2/3 chain further references not followed this pass.
- `2macc` — reuses `1macc`'s own 3-entry set outright (Tempora/104-1 `@`-references Tempora/101-1).
- `zach` (Tempora/115-5, itself referencing 111-0's Responsory4-6 — Ezekiel's own Sunday, distinct
from `ezek`/`dan`'s own Monday-sourced entries) and `amos`/`agg` (both referencing Tempora/
Pent01-0's Responsory1 — Isaiah's throne-vision — plus 111-0's Responsory2-3) — all three
minor-prophet books previously assumed to have no reference-engine English at all; that was true
of their *own* week files in isolation, but false once their `@`-references were actually
followed.
19 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded (added this pass: `1sam`, `2sam`, `1kgs`, `2kgs`, `2macc`,
`zach`, `amos`, `agg`). `npm test` (2025 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified via
`getResponsoryForBook` resolving real text for every new key, at every pool index (not just index
0) for the 3-entry sets.
Still genuinely unseeded after this pass — real gaps, re-confirmed: books with no reference-engine
citation anywhere in Tempora at all (Josue, Judices, Ruth, Paralipomenon/Chronicles, Esdras/
Nehemias, Canticles — the historic secular/monastic Historia cycle apparently never assigns these
their own continuous reading), and the remaining ~45 New Testament epistle/Acts/Apocalypse books
plus minor books not yet attempted.
### Matins responsory pools: 12 more OT books, and 2 real process misses caught (2026-09-04)
User caught two things this pass, neither of them a source gap:
1. Directly pointed at `web/www/horas/English/Tempora/094-3.txt` and asked why Judith ("jdt") was
listed as unseeded when it plainly has real responsory content. Checking confirmed it — worse,
`jdt` and `esth` (Esther) had *both* already surfaced in this same day's own full-citation dump
of Tempora (`!Jdt`, `!Esth` were right there in the list) and were simply never followed up on.
Not a search-methodology gap this time, an attention gap: the data was already in hand.
2. Self-audit prompted by that catch found a second, independent miss: `job` — one of the
heaviest-used books in the bible-plan (42 rows) — had been extracted early in this same day's
session (Latin/Tempora/091-1.txt, the classic "Job Responsories," also used in the Requiem) but
never actually committed to the pool file at all. Sourced, verified, then silently dropped.
Fixed both, then used the same "reused across a whole prophetic-literature week" pattern already
established for `ezek`/`dan`/`zach` to sweep the rest of November's minor prophets efficiently by
following each book's own `@Tempora/X:ResponsoryN` reference rather than re-querying from scratch:
`obad` (reuses `zach`'s own R1), `jonah`/`mal` (share one entry, Tempora/111-0:R7), `hos`/`nah`
(reuse `ezek`/`dan`'s own R1), `mic` (reuses `amos`/`agg`'s own R1), `hab`/`joel` (share one entry,
Tempora/111-2:R1), `zeph` (Tempora/111-3:R1, its own). Also added `eccl` (Tempora/081-2:R1, the
same August "Wisdom literature" week cluster as `prov`/`sir`/`sap`, a different entry than
`prov`'s own) and `lam` (Latin/Tempora/Quad6-4.txt — Maundy Thursday's own Tenebrae Matins, the
classic "In monte Oliveti"/"Tristis est anima mea"/"Ecce vidimus eum" responsories; unlike the
Sacred Heart/Jeremiah override case above, Holy Week's own high rank isn't an unrelated feast
displacing ordinary content here — Tenebrae's Lamentations reading is intrinsically Holy Week's
own, so no override caution applied).
33 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded (added this pass: `jdt`, `esth`, `job`, `eccl`, `hab`, `joel`,
`zeph`, `obad`, `jonah`, `mal`, `hos`, `mic`, `nah`, `lam` — 14 new). `npm test` (2025 passed) and
`tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified via `getResponsoryForBook` resolving real text for every
new key.
Confirmed still genuinely absent (re-checked directly, not just re-asserted): `bar` (Baruch),
Josue, Judices, Ruth, Paralipomenon/Chronicles, Esdras/Nehemias, Canticles — no citation anywhere
in Tempora. 39 remaining books not yet attempted: Leviticus/Numbers/Deuteronomy, the four Gospels,
Acts, Apocalypse, and the NT epistles.
### Matins responsory pools: real key-alias bug found and fixed (2026-09-04)
A serious correctness bug, found by re-verifying through the *real* pipeline rather than trusting
the earlier direct-function-call "live verification": `bible-plan.ts` normalizes a reading's book
through `canonicalBook()` (`scripture/index.ts`'s `BOOK_ALIASES` map) *before* calling
`getResponsoryForBook` — so the pool must be keyed by the canonical form, not the bible-plan TSV's
own raw book code, whenever the two differ. 12 of this same day's 33 seeded keys used the raw form
instead: `1macc`/`2macc` (canonical `1mach`/`2mach`), `1sam`/`2sam`/`1kgs`/`2kgs` (`1reg`/`2reg`/
`3reg`/`4reg`), `jdt` (`jdth`), `zeph` (`soph`), `obad` (`abd`), `jonah` (`jon`), `hos` (`osee`),
`mic` (`mich`) — every one of these would have silently resolved to `undefined` in the real app
despite passing this same day's own "live-verified" test, because that test called
`getResponsoryForBook` directly with the raw code, bypassing the normalization the real call site
always applies. Renamed all 12 keys (and their own header comments) to the canonical form.
Re-verified this time through the actual `getBiblePlanReadings` call site (not a direct
`getResponsoryForBook` call) on a real date (2026-06-04, `post-pentecost-01`/Thursday, `1sam 9-10`)
— confirms a real responsory now resolves where it silently wouldn't have before this fix. `npm
test` (2025 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass.
**Lesson for future sourcing passes**: when a book has a `BOOK_ALIASES` entry, the pool key is the
*alias target*, not the bible-plan YAML's own book code — check `scripture/index.ts`'s
`BOOK_ALIASES` map before choosing a key, and verify through `getBiblePlanReadings`/`resolveOrdo`
(the real call chain), not a direct, unnormalized call to `getResponsoryForBook`.
### Matins responsory pools: NT books (Acts, Apocalypse, James, Hebrews, the 4 Gospels) (2026-09-04)
Continuing the same bulk-sourcing pass, applying the previous entry's own lesson from the start
this time (canonical keys, pipeline-verified). Surveyed the whole reference engine's own citation
set precisely (an `awk` one-liner reading the line *after* every `[LectioN]` tag, following two
lines deep for Gospel entries whose citation sits below a "Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum..."
line) rather than grepping loosely for a book prefix — the loose approach had already produced one
false positive this session (`Rom` matching a Lauds Capitulum, not a real Matins Lectio).
Added, all bilingual, all real Nocturn responsories:
- `act` (Ascension Day's own Matins, Latin/Tempora/Pasc5-4.txt) and `marc` (Easter Sunday's own
Matins, Pasc0-0.txt) — both high-ranked feast days, but genuinely proper content (Ascension's
own Nocturn 1 *is* Acts 1; Easter's *is* Mark 16), not an unrelated override like the Sacred
Heart/Jeremiah case — same reasoning already used for `lam`.
- `heb` (Good Friday's own Tenebrae Matins, Quad6-5.txt) — same reasoning again, Passion-narrative
responsories ("Omnes amici mei," "Velum templi scissum est").
- `apoc` (Easter III Sunday, its own ordinary rank, Pasc3-0.txt) and `jas` (Easter IV Sunday,
Pasc4-0.txt) — genuine Paschaltide Sunday responsory sets, not thematically tied to Apocalypse/
James specifically (a generic Alleluia-form psalm-based set), same "loose match" convention as
everywhere else in this pool.
- `luc`/`matt`/`joan` (Advent I/II/III Sundays, Adv1-0/Adv2-0/Adv3-0.txt) — each Gospel's own
reading week, generic Advent-themed responsories, only 1 entry each (a second Sunday's own set
wasn't chased down this pass).
41 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded. `npm test` (2025 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass;
live-verified through the real `getBiblePlanReadings` call chain this time (not a direct
`getResponsoryForBook` call) — `easter-3`/Monday (`act`, `joan` via the `john``joan` alias),
`post-pentecost-01`/Saturday (`1sam` via alias, `prov`, `matt`), and a calendar-dated Jan 10 row
(`heb`) all resolve real responsory text; `Deut` correctly still resolves `undefined` (genuinely
unseeded, confirmed absent from Tempora entirely).
Confirmed no English exists anywhere in the reference engine for Galatians/Ephesians/Philippians/
Colossians/Titus/Philemon (the whole post-Epiphany reading season) or Romans (the Christmas-Octave
season) — real Latin text exists for all of these, just no bilingual source; left unseeded rather
than own-translating six-plus books in one pass. 32 books remain (9 of them the already-confirmed-
genuinely-absent `bar`/Josue/Judices/Ruth/Chronicles/Esdras-Nehemias/Canticles): Leviticus/
Numbers/Deuteronomy, Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1-2
Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, Jude not yet attempted.
### Matins responsory pools: last real batch (1 Cor, 2 Cor, 1 Peter, 1 John), a repeated key bug (2026-09-04)
Confirmed Leviticus/Numbers/Deuteronomy genuinely absent from Tempora (re-checked precisely with
the `awk`-based Lectio-citation survey, not a loose grep — no hit under any Latin form of the
book's name). Added `1cor` (Maundy Thursday's own Nocturn 3, Latin/Tempora/Quad6-4.txt
Responsory7-9 — the Institution narrative, distinct from that same file's Responsory1-3 already
used for `lam`), `2cor` (Epiphany II Sunday, its own ordinary rank, Epi2-0.txt), `1pet` (1 Peter's
own reading week `@`-references the ordinary Paschaltide Sunday psalm-set already used for `jac`
below — R4-6 of that same Pasc4-0.txt), and `1joan` (Sunday within the Ascension Octave, Pasc6-0.txt,
the Paraclete responsory, only 1 entry).
**A repeated mistake, caught by self-audit this time**: the previous entry's `jas` key was wrong —
same bug as the 12-key fix two entries up. `BOOK_ALIASES` maps bible-plan's `jas` to canonical
`jac`; the pool needed `jac:`, not `jas:`. Fixed, and re-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings`
(not a direct call) on `easter-6`/Monday, 2026-05-11 (`Jas 2` now resolves a real responsory).
**Ran a full audit this time**: checked every single current pool key against `BOOK_ALIASES`
programmatically (not just the ones touched this pass) — confirmed clean, zero raw-alias-source
keys remain anywhere in the file.
45 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded. `npm test` (2025 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass.
Remaining 27, none easily gettable this pass: 12 confirmed genuinely absent from the reference
source (`bar`, Canticles, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Leviticus, Numbers,
Deuteronomy); 15 with real Latin but no reference-engine English anywhere (Romans, Galatians,
Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Titus, Philemon, 2 Thessalonians, 2 Timothy, 2 Peter, 2-3 John,
Jude). Own-translating any of these would be the next step, if wanted — not attempted here per the
established "only seed real bilingual source" pattern.
### Matins responsory pools: the "untranslated 15" turned out mostly already bilingual (2026-09-04)
Asked to translate the 15 "real Latin, no English" books. Before translating anything, re-checked
each one's own `@Tempora/X:ResponsoryN` reference chain (the same technique that unblocked 8 books
earlier the same day) — and found the whole post-Epiphany "ordinary time" reading season (weeks
3-5, covering Galatians/Ephesians/Philippians/Colossians/1-2 Timothy/Titus/Philemon/2
Thessalonians) doesn't have its own distinct responsory content at all: every one of its 21 feria
files `@`-references 2 Corinthians' own week (Epi2-0 through Epi2-6, already fully bilingual from
earlier this same day) by weekday position. Confirmed by reading every week-3/4/5 feria file's own
`@`-line directly, not guessed. Same story for 2 Peter, 2-3 John, and Jude — all four `@`-reference
Ascension Day's own responsories (already seeded as `act`). **None of these 12 books needed any
translation at all** — added `gal`/`phil`/`1tim` (share Epi2-1), `col`/`2tim` (share Epi2-2),
`eph` (Epi2-3), `1thess`/`tit` (share Epi2-4), `2thess`/`phlm` (share Epi2-6), `2pet`/`2joan`/
`3joan` (share `act`'s R1), `jud` (`act`'s R7) — all real, already-transcribed bilingual text.
Also fixed a real, separate bug the user caught by eye in the rendered app: `getResponsoryForBook`'s
`joinResponsory` concatenated the pool's `r`/`v` text with a bare newline and no "R."/"V." labels
at all — every other responsory source in the app (`octave-readings.ts`'s own `responsory` field,
every `nocturn-readings/*.yml`'s inline `responsory`, and the new per-Common-category pool) uses
the full "R. ...\n* ...\nV. ...\nR. ..." convention. Fixed by computing the repeat line from the
`*` marker already present in the pool's own `r` text (a separate commit, `1867f73`, before this
content pass).
**Only `rom` (Romans) turned out to have no content to translate at all**, on inspection — re-
checked every one of its 15 citing files (all in the Christmas-Octave `Nat0X` range): every single
one `@`-references an unrelated feast's own proper responsory (Circumcision, Christmas Day, or a
January 7 saint), never anything Romans-specific, standalone or borrowed. There's no genuine
"Romans content" anywhere in this reference source to translate, sourced or original — using one of
these borrowed responsories would repeat the Sacred Heart/Jeremiah mismatch this file already
avoids elsewhere. Left `rom` unseeded; it would need an entirely original composition, not a
translation, if ever wanted.
59 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded — every book with any genuinely usable Latin at all. The
remaining 13 (`rom` plus the 12 already-confirmed-absent books) are the real, final gap: `rom` has
no book-specific content anywhere in this source; the other 12 have no citation anywhere at all.
Ran the full canonical-key audit again (programmatic check against `BOOK_ALIASES`, per the
established lesson) — confirmed clean. `npm test` (2025 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass;
live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (`post-epiphany-3`/Wednesday `Gal`, `post-epiphany-5`/
Monday `1tim`, `sunday-after-ascension`/Saturday `Jude` all resolve real responsory text; `Ruth`
correctly still resolves `undefined`).
### Matins responsory pools: `cant` (Canticles) found in the Sancti files, not Tempora (2026-09-05)
User pushback on `cant` being listed "confirmed genuinely absent": right instinct to check the
Commune files specifically — Canticles/Song of Songs imagery is heavily used in Marian propers.
Checked `Latin/Commune/C12.txt` (the Little Office of the BVM) directly: it does cite `!Cant 6:8`,
but only as a Lauds Capitulum, not a Matins Nocturn lesson — Capitula don't carry their own
9-Responsory structure, and C12's actual Lectio1-3 are Sirach 24, not Canticles (matching this
pool's existing `common-of-the-bvm` sourcing). So the Commune search itself came up empty for a
genuine Matins responsory — but it redirected the search productively: checked `Sancti/` (individual
saint/feast files) with the same `awk` Lectio-citation survey used for Tempora, and found real
`!Cant` Nocturn lessons on the Visitation (July 2) and throughout the Assumption Octave
(Sancti/08-15t through 08-22t) — the historic BVM feasts that read straight through the Song of
Songs. Only the Visitation's own file (`07-02.txt`) has both languages; the Assumption Octave days
have real Latin but no English anywhere.
Added `cant`, sourced from `Sancti/07-02.txt` — genuinely Canticles-sourced responsories that
directly blend Song of Songs verses with the Visitation narrative itself ("Surge, própera, amíca
mea... Intrávit María in domum Zacharíæ"), not a borrowed-unrelated-feast mismatch.
60 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded. `npm test` (2025 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass;
live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (a Dec 27 calendar-dated row resolves real `Cant 3`
responsory text). Canonical-key audit re-run, clean (`cant` has no `BOOK_ALIASES` entry).
Prompted by finding `cant` in Sancti, re-checked the other 11 already-confirmed-absent books
against Sancti too (not just Tempora) — found 2 more: `lev` (Leviticus, `Sancti/02-02.txt`, the
Purification of the BVM — its own Leviticus purification-law reading is the feast's actual reason
for being) and `num` (Numbers, `Sancti/09-14.txt`, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross — the
bronze-serpent/Cross typology, Num 21:6-9, only 1 entry). Both genuine thematic matches, not
borrowed-unrelated content. The other 9 (`bar`, Josue, Judices, Ruth, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra,
Nehemiah, Deuteronomy) checked against the reference engine's own full Sancti citation list —
confirmed still absent, no alternate abbreviation missed.
62 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded — the real final count. `npm test` (2025 passed) and
`tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (`lent-3`/Sunday resolves
real `Lev 1` responsory text, `palm-sunday`/Sunday resolves real `Num 25-27` text). Canonical-key
audit re-run, clean. Remaining 10, the true final gap: `rom` plus 9 books with no citation
anywhere in Tempora or Sancti (`bar`, Josue, Judices, Ruth, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah,
Deuteronomy).
### Advent reading-plan carryover into Christmastide (2026-09-05)
User-flagged wrinkle in `data/hours/bible-plan/*.yml`'s own Isaiah plan: it's authored as a full
4-week Advent (`advent-1-sunday` through `advent-4-saturday`, 28 rows), but real Advent is never
that long. Advent's last real day is always Dec 23 (Dec 24 is the Vigil of Christmas's own
temporal id, `calendar/temporal-id.ts`), while Advent 1 Sunday itself — the Sunday nearest Nov 30
— falls anywhere from Nov 27 to Dec 3. Even the *longest* possible Advent (Nov 27, 27 real days)
is one short of the full 28-row plan; the *shortest* (Dec 3, 21 real days) is a whole week short.
Every single year, at least the plan's last row never lands on its own natural date — not just
"most years," as the request first put it.
Fixed in `propers/bible-plan.ts`'s new `adventCarryoverReadings`: whatever doesn't land on its own
natural date now carries forward one reading per day starting Christmas Day itself, pooled
alongside whatever Christmastide's own calendar-dated rows already have for that day (never
replacing them) — same "every contributing source pools, none override" design already used
throughout this file and `hours/matins.ts`'s own reading-pool assembly. Computed live from
`calendar/temporal.ts`'s `adventStart(year)` for each date's own year (the one place in this file
that needs real calendar-year awareness, since every other lookup here is year-independent); no
new content authoring needed, since the Isaiah rows were already there, just never reachable on
their own natural date in a short year.
User's own framing accepted as the trade-off: "for advent only, we need to show all of those
chapters" — i.e. every planned reading should surface somewhere, even if that means spilling into
Christmastide, rather than silently dropping the tail end of a short year's Advent plan.
Live-verified across the full spread of possible Advent-1-Sunday dates (`adventStart` for
2020-2035 spans exactly the Nov 27 - Dec 3 range): 2028 (Advent 1 Sunday = Dec 3, the latest/
shortest case) carries all 7 of week 4's Isaiah readings forward across Dec 25-31 in order; 2027/
2032 (Advent 1 Sunday = Nov 28, near-earliest/longest) carry only the last 2. Added 4 permanent
tests to `tests/propers/bible-plan.test.ts` covering both extremes, the pooling-not-replacing
behavior, and that nothing carries over before Christmas Day itself. `npm test` (2029 passed,
+4 new) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass.
### Matins responsory pools: `deut` — the first genuine original composition, not a transcription (2026-09-05)
User found a real lead while reading a patristic homily (`English/Sancti/01-02.txt`, on Matt
23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem"): it quotes Deut 32:11's eagle image in passing ("as also it is
written... an eagle stirreth up her nest... spreadeth abroad her wings"). Confirmed the verse
number against `data/scripture/deut-32.yml`'s own `n: 11` — genuinely Deut 32:11 in standard
citation, not the breviary's own internal chant-verse-numbering for the same text (which splits
it as 32:15-16 in `Latin/Psalterium/Psalmorum/Psalm226.txt`, the real Canticle of Moses sung at
Lauds — that file supplied real, properly accented liturgical Latin and its English counterpart
gave the matching translation, so no accentuation had to be guessed).
Unlike every other entry in this pool, Deuteronomy genuinely has no historical Matins responsory
anywhere in the reference source (confirmed absent from both Tempora and Sancti in the two prior
entries) — so this one is composed, not transcribed: a real R./V. pairing built entirely from
that same canticle's own genuine verses (32:15's eagle image as the R., 32:13-14's "apple of his
eye" as the V.), verbatim text, not paraphrased or invented, just newly paired. Documented plainly
in the data file's own header comment as vu's own composition rather than presented as a
historically-attested responsory, matching this project's "not a reconstruction" ethos.
63 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded (`deut` added). `npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit`
both pass; live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (`easter-3`/Saturday resolves the real,
properly R./V.-formatted text for `Deut 33-34`). Canonical-key audit re-run, clean (`deut` has no
`BOOK_ALIASES` entry).
### Matins responsory pools: `rom` — the second (and last) original composition (2026-09-05)
Asked directly for thoughts on Romans, the one book with real citations but no usable Matins
content anywhere (every citing file borrows an unrelated feast's own proper responsory — Christmas
Day, Circumcision, or a January 7 saint). Same approach as `deut`: composed rather than
transcribed, but built from real, already-liturgical text rather than invented — Rom 13:11-12
("the night is past, the day is at hand... let us cast off the works of darkness, and put on the
armour of light") is the standing year-round ferial Lauds Capitulum
(`Latin/Psalterium/Special/Major Special.txt`'s own "Feria Laudes") and is used again at Advent
I's own Capitulum (`Tempora/Adv1-0.txt`) — genuine accented Vulgate/Douay-Rheims text, just never
combined into its own 9-lesson Matins responsory set the way every other book in this pool was.
User-confirmed before adding.
**64 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded — every book actually used in the user's own bible-plan has
a real responsory, whether transcribed (62) or composed from genuine liturgical text (`deut`,
`rom`).** The remaining 8 are the true, final, unclosable gap: books with no citation anywhere in
Tempora or Sancti at all (`bar`, Josue, Judices, Ruth, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah) — there's no
comparable "already-liturgical, just never assembled into a responsory" text to build from for any
of these, since they're never quoted or read in the Office at all, historically. `npm test` (2029
passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (a Jan 1
calendar-dated row resolves real, correctly R./V.-formatted text for `Rom 7-8`). Canonical-key
audit re-run, clean.
### Matins responsory pools: `bar` found in the Missa, not the Horas (2026-09-05)
The "closes the pool" claim above turned out premature by one book. User pointed to
`missa/Latin/Tempora/Quad6-6.txt` — the *Mass* propers, a directory tree this whole responsory
search had never once checked (everything so far searched `horas/`, the Divine Office proper).
The Easter Vigil Mass's own fourth prophecy (`[Proph_Baruch3]`, Bar 3:9-38, "Audi, Israël, mandáta
vitæ") is genuine, real, accented liturgical Latin — just never part of the Office's own Matins at
all, in either directory tree. Composed `bar` the same way as `deut`/`rom`: built from that
prophecy's own climactic close ("Hic est Deus noster... Post hæc in terris visus est, et cum
homínibus conversátus est" — read at the Vigil because early exegetes saw "seen upon earth, and
conversed with men" as a prophecy of the Incarnation), genuine text, not invented.
**65 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded.** `npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass;
live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (`palm-sunday`/Thursday resolves real, correctly
R./V.-formatted text for `Bar 1-2`). Canonical-key audit re-run, clean (`bar` has no `BOOK_ALIASES`
entry).
**This closes the per-book responsory pool as a project** (see "Matins responsory pools" and its
eleven follow-up entries, 2026-09-04/05) — the per-Common-category pool (19/19 real categories) is
also done; see that same first entry. Extended the Missa check to the other 6 already-absent books
too (Josue, Judices, Ruth, 1-2 Chronicles) — genuinely zero citations anywhere, Horas or Missa.
Ezra came up with one thin, ambiguous lead not acted on: `missa/Latin/Tempora/Pasc7-2.txt`'s
Introit cites `!Esdr 2:36 2:37`, but the actual Vulgate text there (checked against
`data/scripture/1esdr-2.yml`) is a plain census list that doesn't match the Introit's own text at
all ("Accípite jucunditátem glóriæ vestræ... qui vos ad cœléstia regna vocávit"). User's own
explanation (2026-09-05), plausible and probably right, though unprovable without a text we don't
have: Vulgate numbering is genuinely ambiguous here — "1/2 Esdras" is canonical Ezra/Nehemiah, but
there's also a separate, non-canonical Greek "Esdras A" (the Vulgate appendix's own "3 Esdras,"
sometimes itself called "1 Esdras" in Septuagint/Orthodox numbering) — a different text entirely
that this project has never digitized. The reference engine's own citation never disambiguates
("Esdr" bare, no "3" anywhere else in the source to compare against), so this can't be confirmed
outright, but it cleanly explains why the citation doesn't match our canonical Ezra text. Left
both `ezra` and `neh` unseeded rather than force an uncertain match. One small, unrelated loose end
noted along the way
and not addressed here: the bible-plan TSV's own content still isn't covered by a table-driven
test the way other bulk-imported content stores are (see "Bible-plan TSV — bulk conversion done"
below) — `tests/propers/bible-plan.test.ts` tests specific real dates ad hoc, not the full imported
set.
### Matins responsory pools: `ruth` — the first composition with no liturgical precedent at all (2026-09-05)
User-directed: compose Ruth's own responsory from Ruth 1:16-17 ("thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God") on the verse's own merit, even though — unlike `deut`/`rom`/`bar` — this text
has *no* liturgical precedent anywhere in the reference source at all (no Nuptial Mass file even
exists there to check against). Flagged that distinction directly before proceeding; user confirmed
it explicitly, aware of the difference from the three prior compositions (all of which recombined
text already used liturgically elsewhere, just never in Matins).
Since the project's usual bulk-imported `data/scripture/ruth-1.yml` carries no accents, the Latin
was hand-accented rather than transcribed — but cross-checked word-by-word against already-accented
occurrences of the same words elsewhere in the reference corpus (`quocúmque`, `pópulus tuus`,
`páriter`, `ábeam`, `relínquam`, `moráta`, `morábor`, `móriar`, `moriéntem`, `suscéperit`,
`sepultúræ`) rather than guessed freehand from scratch.
66 of 72 bible-plan books now seeded. `npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass;
live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (`sunday-after-ascension`/Saturday resolves real,
correctly R./V.-formatted text in both languages for `Ruth 3-4`). Canonical-key audit re-run, clean
(`ruth` has no `BOOK_ALIASES` entry). Remaining 6: Josue, Judices, 1-2 Chronicles, Nehemiah (no
citation anywhere at all) plus `ezra` (one thin, ambiguous near-miss, deliberately left unseeded —
see the entry above).
### Matins responsory pools: `2esdr` (Nehemiah) — correcting a mis-diagnosis (2026-09-05)
The entry above's "Nehemiah: no citation anywhere at all" was wrong — Nehemiah had been bundled in
with `ezra`'s "one thin, ambiguous near-miss" reasoning without ever getting its own Missa check, the
same check that had already found and closed `bar` a few entries earlier. It has a real, unambiguous
citation: Ember Wednesday of September's own Lectio and Communio both quote Neh 8
(`missa/Latin/Tempora/093-3.txt`, `!Neh 8:1-10` / `!Neh 8:10`), genuine accented Latin, matching
English in the sibling `English/Tempora/093-3.txt`.
User-directed: R. from v.3 ("Et legit in eo apérte in platéa... et aures omnis pópuli erant eréctæ
ad librum" — Esdras reading the law plainly, all ears attentive), V. from v.9 ("Dies sanctificátus
est Dómino, Deo nostro: nolíte lugére et nolíte flere" — user's pick, offered against v.6's "Amen,
Amen" and v.10's "Ite, comédite pínguia," for the contrast between the plain reading and the
proclaimed holy day of no mourning). Both Latin lines taken verbatim from the same accented Missa
Lectio; English from the project's own verified `src/data/scripture/2esdr-8.yml`, not retranslated.
Keyed `2esdr:` in the pool (not `neh:`) since that's what `BOOK_ALIASES` maps `neh` to.
67 of 72 seeded. Remaining 5: Josue, Judices, 1-2 Chronicles (no citation anywhere at all) plus
`ezra` (one thin, ambiguous near-miss, deliberately left unseeded — see the entry above).
### Matins responsory pools: `1esdr` (Ezra) — composed, no liturgical precedent (2026-09-05)
User-directed: compose Ezra's own responsory from 1 Esdras 8:21-23, on the verse's own merit — like
`ruth`, not like `bar`/`2esdr`, since the one candidate lead for this book (`Pasc7-2.txt`'s Introit,
see the earlier `ezra`/`neh` entry) turned out to be a text mismatch, not a real match to build from.
v.22's antithesis ("the hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and
strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him") is the strongest material, but the Vulgate's own
clause order puts the wrath half last — a sour note to end the repeated (`*`) clause on, especially
right before v.23's "it fell out prosperously." Edited: swapped the two halves of v.22 so the hopeful
clause is the one repeated after V. — same words, no invention, just reordered for the R./V./R. shape.
V. is v.23 unaltered.
Source (`1esdr-8.yml`) has no accents, like `ruth-1.yml`; Latin hand-accented, cross-checked
word-by-word against already-accented occurrences elsewhere in the corpus (`impérium`, `fortitúdo`,
`derelínquunt`, `bonitáte`, `jejunávimus`, `próspere`). Keyed `1esdr:` (`BOOK_ALIASES` maps `ezra` to
it). `npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified through
`getBiblePlanReadings` (`easter-sunday`/Monday resolves real, correctly R./V.-formatted text in both
languages for `Ezra 3-4`).
68 of 72 seeded. This closes every book with any real sourceable material — the remaining 3 (Josue,
Judices, 1-2 Chronicles) have no citation anywhere, Horas or Missa, and no scripture text of their
own has been composed from on its own merit the way `ruth`/`ezra` were, since that hasn't been
directed for them yet (Josue itself got exactly this treatment shortly after — see the dated entry
below).
### Matins responsory pools: `jos` (Josue) — composed, no liturgical precedent (2026-09-05)
User-directed: compose Josue's own responsory from Josue 24:15-16, on the verse's own merit — like
`ruth`/`1esdr`, since Josue has no citation anywhere in the reference source at all, Horas or Missa
(re-confirmed live: every "Josue" hit in the corpus is an incidental mention of the person inside
unrelated books' readings — Ambrose's *De Officiis* homily, 1-2 Kings — never the Book of Josue's
own text).
The verse pair is already a two-voice exchange — Joshua's challenge to Israel ("choose you this day
... but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord") and the people's reply — mapping directly
onto R./V. form with no invented content, just split at the natural seam. Asterisk placed before
"Ego autem", so the full choice-clause is R. and the famous declaration is the repeated close; V. is
v.16 kept whole, including "Respondítque pópulus, et ait" (not trimmed for the change of speaker,
since R./V. form doesn't make that redundant here — the narrative frame still matters).
Source (`jos-24.yml`) has no accents, like `ruth-1.yml`/`1esdr-8.yml`; Latin hand-accented,
cross-checked word-by-word against already-accented occurrences elsewhere in the corpus (`vidétur`,
`Dómino`, `elígite`, `hódie`, `potíssimum`, `servíre`, `debeátis`, `serviérunt`, `Mesopotámia`,
`habitátis`, `serviémus`, `Respondítque`, `pópulus`, `relinquámus`, `serviámus`, `aliénis`); `óptio`
left unaccented (2 syllables, no precedent either way, but this project's own accenting convention
never marks a 2-syllable word). `Amorreorum` kept in the spelling `jos-24.yml`'s own bulk import
uses (no `h`, single `r`) rather than the Clementine `Amorrhæórum` spelling found elsewhere in the
corpus (Ps 134/135), since that's this book's own source-text tradition, not a typo to "fix" toward
the more familiar spelling.
Keyed `jos:` (`BOOK_ALIASES` maps `josh` to this canonical id) — not `josue`, which would silently
miss every lookup. `npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified through
`getBiblePlanReadings` (`easter-4`/Sunday resolves real, correctly R./V.-formatted text in both
languages for `Josh 1`).
69 of 72 seeded. Remaining 3 (Judices, 1-2 Chronicles) have no citation anywhere, Horas or Missa,
and no scripture text of their own has been composed on its own merit yet.
### Matins responsory pools: `jdc` (Judges) — composed, no liturgical precedent (2026-09-05)
User-directed: compose Judges' own responsory from Gideon's trumpet-and-pitchers stratagem at the
camp of Madian (Jdc 7:17-20), on the verse's own merit — like `jos`, since Judges has no citation
anywhere in the reference source at all, Horas or Missa.
Considered and set aside: the Song of Deborah's closing benediction (Jdc 5:31) has no natural second
verse to pair with it without inventing one; Samson's dying prayer (Jdc 16:28-30) was set aside as an
uncomfortable emphasis for a Matins responsory (a prayer for strength to kill himself with his
enemies). Gideon's cry won out as the single most recognizable line in the book, and — like
`ruth`/`jos` before it — the passage is already a command/fulfillment structure that maps directly
onto R./V. form: R. is v.17-18 (Gideon's command to the three hundred men); V. is v.19-20's
fulfillment, trimmed to its own core clause (dropped v.20's "in tribus locis... hydrias
confregissent" middle as restating what "conplodere lagoenas" already said), landing the versicle
directly on the iconic cry itself: "Gladius Domini, et Gedeonis."
Source (`jdc-7.yml`) has no accents, like `jos-24.yml`; Latin hand-accented, cross-checked
word-by-word against already-accented occurrences elsewhere in the corpus (`vidéritis`, `fácite`
— matching the "Hoc fácite" idiom's own established accenting — `ingrédiar`, `sectámini`,
`personáverit`, `castrórum`, `circúitum`, `clángite`, `conclamáte`, `tenuérunt`, `mánibus`,
`sonántes`, `clamaverúntque`, `Gládius`, `Gedeónis`, `Gedeóni`); `sinistris`/`dextris` left
unaccented, matching this corpus's own consistent practice for those two specific words even where
the general accenting rule would suggest otherwise. Also caught: the source's own English for v.18
is incomplete (drops "et conclamate, Domino et Gedeoni" entirely, ending mid-sentence) — supplied
the missing clause from the standard Douay-Rheims wording rather than reproducing that gap.
Keyed `jdc:` (`BOOK_ALIASES` maps `judg` to this canonical id). `npm test` (2029 passed) and
`tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified through `getBiblePlanReadings` (`easter-6`/Wednesday
resolves real, correctly R./V.-formatted text in both languages for `Judg 7`).
70 of 72 seeded. Remaining 2 (1-2 Paralipomenon/Chronicles) have no citation anywhere, Horas or
Missa, and no scripture text of their own has been composed on its own merit yet.
### Matins Nocturn 3 Gospel pericope — closed (2026-09-05)
Systemic gap found while reviewing the Ember-Friday/9-18 fix: a huge number of `nocturn-readings/
*.yml` files had an authored patristic homily (`isGospel: false`, a `source` field naming the
author/work) with no paired `isGospel: true` Gospel pericope — the homily discussing a Gospel text
that was never itself transcribed into the file. Nocturn 3 in this office is always a homily on
that day's own Mass Gospel; leaving the pericope unauthored meant the homily read with no context
for what it was actually commenting on.
Closed in two waves, since the first pass's detection method was itself too narrow (a regex over
the `source` field looking for an explicit citation) and missed real cases — either because the
citation was only in the file's header comment, phrased in a way the regex didn't match (a Latin
abbreviation, a parenthetical, a bare "Commentary on Luke" with no verse number), or not named
anywhere in the file at all:
- **Wave 1** (regex-detected, 64 files): every file where `source` itself named a Gospel
book+chapter.
- **Wave 2** (structural re-scan — any `isGospel: false` + `source` entry in a file with zero
`isGospel: true` entries, no regex): found 75 more candidates. Required real per-file
verification against `../divinum-officium-reference` (checking the actual Lectio7-9/
`[Evangelium]` structure), since several turned out to be Nocturn 2 content or Common-of-saints
cross-references with no proper Gospel of the saint's own — ~46 authored, ~29 correctly left
alone. A handful more (`st-aloysius-gonzaga.yml`, `st-francis-xavier.yml`,
`st-john-baptist-de-la-salle.yml`, `st-joseph-calasanctius.yml`) were dropped from the wave-2
task list by mistake and fixed directly during final verification.
Along the way, two more real bugs surfaced and were fixed in `src/hours/matins.ts`/
`src/calendar/day-label.ts`:
- A demoted temporal commemoration (e.g. a "Commemoratio Feriæ") was leaking a governing Sunday's
own homily into an unrelated weekday's reading pool through a separate code path than the one a
2026-09-03 fix had gated — affected 18 days/year.
- Reading pool order didn't match the day label's own commemoration order (temporal-then-
sanctoral) — fixed to follow the same convention.
- A plain generic temporal commemoration (e.g. "Saturday in the 15th week after Trinity") was
shown in the day label even when something else was already being celebrated, redundant with
either an Ember day's own name or simply unnecessary noise alongside any winner — dropped
unconditionally, not just for Ember days.
- A homily's own authored responsory (when distinct from its paired Gospel's) was never actually
read by `gospelReadingPart` — silently dropped for every Gospel+homily pair with a responsory on
the homily specifically (e.g. `post-pentecost-16.yml`'s Ambrose homily).
A handful of files were found to have **no Nocturn 3 content authored at all** (not just an
unpaired Gospel) — logged separately above under "Minimal-proof-done, bulk content pending", not
part of this closed item.
`npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified on 2026-09-16/18/19 (the
Ember-September-into-saint cluster that originally surfaced this).
### Matins Nocturn 3 entirely unauthored — closed (2026-09-05)
6 files were missing Nocturn 3 entirely (not just an unpaired Gospel on an existing homily),
found while closing the Gospel-pericope gap above: `nativity-bvm.yml` (Matt 1:1-16 + St. Jerome,
Commentary on Matthew Bk. 1), `ss-cletus-and-marcellinus.yml`/`ss-soter-and-caius.yml`
(Common-of-Popes Nocturn 3, Matt 16:13-19 + Pope St. Leo the Great's Sermon 2 on the Anniversary
of his Election — reused verbatim from `st-martin-i.yml`, already authored this session with the
identical Common-of-Popes text), `ss-cornelius-and-cyprian.yml` (Common-of-Martyrs Nocturn 3,
Luke 21:9-19 + Pope St. Gregory's Homily 35), `ss-seven-brothers-rufina-and-secunda.yml` (a
proper override on top of its own Common, Matt 12:46-50 + Gregory's Homily 3, "Who is my
mother?"), and `st-anacletus.yml` (an alternate "rubrica 1570 aut rubrica 1617" variant of
`Sancti/07-13.txt`, carrying a real Nocturn 3 — Luke 14:26-33 + Gregory's Homily 37 — distinct
from the file's own modern-rubric default, which has none at all; of particular interest given
this app's own Monastic 1617 structural default). All sourced from `../divinum-officium-reference`
(the Common-of-Popes Gospel pericope again only found under `obsolete/missa/`, same pattern
as `st-isidore-of-seville.yml` above); `st-anacletus.yml`'s homily English has no reference-engine
translation for this specific Lectio7-9 split, so it was composed directly from the Latin and
marked draft.
`npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified via `resolveOrdo` on all 6
saints' real dates.

In illo témpore: Missus est Angelus Gábriel a Deo in civitátem Galilǽæ, cui nomen
Názareth, ad Vírginem desponsátam viro, cui nomen erat Joseph, de domo David, et nomen
Vírginis María. Et ingréssus Angelus ad eam, dixit: Ave, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum:
benedícta tu in muliéribus. Quæ cum audísset, turbáta est in sermóne ejus: et cogitábat,
qualis esset ista salutátio. Et ait Angelus ei: Ne tímeas, María, invenísti enim grátiam
apud Deum: ecce, concípies in útero, et páries fílium, et vocábis nomen ejus Jesum. Hic
erit magnus, et Fílius Altíssimi vocábitur, et dabit illi Dóminus Deus sedem David, patris
ejus: et regnábit in domo Jacob in ætérnum, et regni ejus non erit finis. Dixit autem
María ad Angelum: Quómodo fiet istud, quóniam virum non cognósco? Et respóndens Angelus,
dixit ei: Spíritus Sanctus supervéniet in te, et virtus Altíssimi obumbrábit tibi. Ideóque
et quod nascétur ex te Sanctum, vocábitur Fílius Dei. Et ecce, Elísabeth, cognáta tua, et
ipsa concépit fílium in senectúte sua: et hic mensis sextus est illi, quæ vocátur stérilis:

At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name
was Mary. And when the angel had come to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is
with you. Blessed are you among women." When she had heard him she was troubled at his
word, and kept pondering what manner of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her,
"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold, you shall conceive in
your womb and shall bring forth a son; and you shall call His name Jesus. He shall be
great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God will give Him the
throne of David His father, and He shall be king over the house of Jacob forever; and of
His kingdom there shall be no end." But Mary said to the angel, "How shall this happen,
since I do not know man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit shall
come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the Holy
One to be born shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman also
has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is now in her sixth
month; for nothing shall be impossible with God." But Mary said: "Behold the handmaid of
the Lord; be it done to me according to your word."

At that time, Jesus entered a certain village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him to
her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also seated herself at the Lord's feet,
and listened to His word. But Martha was busy about much serving. And she came up and
said, "Lord, is it not concern of Yours that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell
her therefore to help me." But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you

saith to them, "But whom do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art
Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answering, said to him, "Blessed art thou,
Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who
is in heaven. And I say to thee, that thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build My

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, "Behold, I am sending you forth like sheep in
the midst of wolves. Be therefore wise as serpents, and guileless as doves. But beware of
men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and scourge you in their synagogues, and
you will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a witness to them and to
the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you are to
speak; for what you are to speak will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who
are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father Who speaks through you. And brother will hand
over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents
and put them to death. And you will be hated by all for My name's sake; but he who has
persevered to the end will be saved."

At that time, Herod had sent and taken John, and bound him in prison, because of
Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. For John had said to Herod,
"It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." But Herodias laid snares for
him, and would have liked to put him to death, but she could not. For Herod feared
John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and protected him; and when he heard him
talk, he did many things, and he liked to hear him. And a favorable day came when Herod
on his birthday gave a banquet to the officials, tribunes and chief men of Galilee. And
Herodias' own daughter having come in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And
the king said to the girl, "Ask of me what you will, and I will give it to you." And he
swore to her, "Whatever you ask, I will give you, even though it be the half of my
kingdom." Then she went out and said to her mother, "What am I to ask for?" And she
said, "The head of John the Baptist." And she came in at once with haste to the king,
and asked, saying, "I want you right away to give me on a dish the head of John the
Baptist." And grieved as he was, the king because of his oath and his guests, was
unwilling to displease her. But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head be
brought on a dish. Then he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a dish,
and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. His disciples, hearing of
it, came and took away his body, and laid it in a tomb.

At that time, Jesus entered and was passing through Jericho. And behold there was a man
named Zacchaeus; and he was a leading publican, and he was rich. And he was trying to
see Jesus, Who He was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of
stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was
going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and
said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay in your house today."
And he made haste and came down, and welcomed Him joyfully. And upon seeing it all began
to murmur, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." But Zacchaeus
stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, I give one-half of my possessions to the
poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold." Jesus said to
him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he, too, is a son of Abraham. For
the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

At that time, Jesus entered and was passing through Jericho. And behold there was a man
named Zacchaeus; and he was a leading publican, and he was rich. And he was trying to
see Jesus, Who He was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of
stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was
going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and
said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay in your house today."
And he made haste and came down, and welcomed Him joyfully. And upon seeing it all began
to murmur, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." But Zacchaeus
stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, I give one-half of my possessions to the
poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold." Jesus said to
him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he, too, is a son of Abraham. For
the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

At that time, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought sweet spices,
that coming they might anoint Jesus. And very early in the morning, the first day of the
week, they came to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen. And they said one to another:
Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And looking, they saw the
stone rolled back. For it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young
man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe, and they were astonished. Who
saith to them, Be not affrighted; ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: He is risen,
He is not here; behold the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples, and Peter,
that He goeth before you into Galilee; there you shall see Him, as He told you.

At that time, Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town of Juda.
And she entered the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, when
Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe in her womb leapt. And Elizabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit, and cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Blessed are you
among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And how have I deserved that the
Mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, the moment that the sound of your

believed, because the things promised her by the Lord shall be accomplished." And Mary
said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour."

Názareth, ad Vírginem desponsátam viro, cui nomen erat Joseph, de domo David, et nomen
Vírginis María. Et ingréssus Angelus ad eam, dixit: Ave, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum:
benedícta tu in muliéribus. Quæ cum audísset, turbáta est in sermóne ejus: et cogitábat,

At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name
was Mary. And when the angel had come to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is
with you. Blessed are you among women." When she had heard him she was troubled at his
word, and kept pondering what manner of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her,
"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold, you shall conceive in
your womb and shall bring forth a son; and you shall call His name Jesus. He shall be
great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God will give Him the
throne of David His father, and He shall be king over the house of Jacob forever; and of
His kingdom there shall be no end." But Mary said to the angel, "How shall this happen,
since I do not know man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit shall
come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the Holy
One to be born shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman also
has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is now in her sixth
month; for nothing shall be impossible with God." But Mary said: "Behold the handmaid of
the Lord; be it done to me according to your word."

At that time, one of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him; so He went into the
house of the Pharisee and reclined at table. And behold, a woman in the town who was a
sinner, upon learning that He was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster
jar of ointment; and standing behind Him at His feet, she began to bathe His feet with her
tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them
with ointment. Now when the Pharisee, who had invited Him, saw it, he said to himself,
"This man, were He a prophet, would surely know who and what manner of woman this is who
is touching Him, for she is a sinner." And Jesus answered and said to him, "Simon, I have
something to say to you." And he said, "Master, speak." "A certain money-lender had two
debtors; the one owed five hundred denarii, the other fifty. As they had no means of
paying, he forgave them both. Which of them, therefore, will love him more?" Simon
answered and said, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have
judged rightly." And turning to the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I
came into your house; you gave Me no water for My feet; but she has bathed My feet with
her tears, and has wiped them with her hair. You gave Me no kiss; but she, from the moment
she entered, has not ceased to kiss My feet. You did not anoint My head with oil; but she
has anointed My feet with ointment. Wherefore I say to you, her sins, many as they are,
shall be forgiven her, because she has loved much. But he to whom little is forgiven,
loves little." And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." And they who were at table
with Him began to say within themselves, "Who is this man, who even forgives sins?" But He
said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

At that time, Jesus spoke to the multitudes this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree
planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. And he said
to the vine-dresser, 'Behold, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig
tree, and I find none. Cut it down, therefore; why does it still encumber the ground?'
But he answered him and said, 'Sir, let it alone this year too, till I dig around it and
manure it. Perhaps it may bear fruit; but if not, then afterwards you shall cut it
down.'" Now He was teaching in one of their synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there
was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was
bent over and utterly unable to look upwards. When Jesus saw her, He called her to Him
and said to her, "Woman, you are delivered from your infirmity." And He laid His hands
upon her, and instantly she was made straight, and glorified God. But the ruler of the
synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, addressed the crowd, saying,
"There are six days in which one ought to work; on these therefore come and be cured,
and not on the Sabbath." But the Lord answered him and said, "Hypocrites! does not each
one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or ass from the manger, and lead it forth to
water? And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound, lo, for
eighteen years, ought not she to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?" And as He
said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and the entire crowd rejoiced
at all the glorious things that were done by Him.

At that time, one of the crowd answering, said to Jesus, "Master, I have brought to You
my son, who has a dumb spirit; and wherever it seizes him it throws him down, and he
foams and grinds his teeth; and he is wasting away. And I told Your disciples to cast it
out, but they could not." And He answered and said to them, "O unbelieving generation,
how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me." And
they brought him to Him; and the spirit, when it saw Jesus, immediately threw the boy
into convulsions, and he fell down on the ground, and rolled about foaming at the mouth.
So He asked his father, "How long is it since this has come upon him?" And he said,
"From his infancy. Oftentimes it has thrown him into the fire and into the waters to
destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." But Jesus
said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." At once
the father of the boy cried out, and said with tears, "I do believe; help my
unbelief." Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean
spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, go out of him and enter him
no more." And crying out and violently convulsing him, it went out of him, and he became
like one dead, so that many said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand, and
raised him and he stood up. And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him
privately, "Why could not we cast it out?" And He said to them, "This kind can be cast
out in no way except by prayer and fasting."

At that time, there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that thou art come a
teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with
him." Jesus answered, and said to him, "Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus saith to him, "How can a man be born
when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born again?"
Jesus answered, "Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the
Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh, is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. Wonder not, that I said to thee,
you must be born again. The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice,
but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is
born of the Spirit." Nicodemus answered, and said to him, "How can these things be
done?" Jesus answered, and said to him, "Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not
these things? Amen, amen, I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify
what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony. If I have spoken to you earthly
things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly
things? And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the
Son of man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must
the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may
have life everlasting."

At that time, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who thinkest thou is the greater in
the kingdom of heaven?" And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst
of them, and said, "Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little
children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall
humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. And he
that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. But he that shall
scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a
millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of
the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come,
but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. And if thy hand, or thy foot
scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life
maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. And
if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee
having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. See
that you despise not one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in
heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven."

At that time, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, "Arise, and
take the Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I tell you.
For Herod will seek the Child to destroy Him." So he arose, and took the Child and His
mother by night, and withdrew into Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod;
that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt
I called My Son." Then Herod, seeing that he had been tricked by the Magi, was
exceedingly angry; and he sent and slew all the boys in Bethlehem and all its
neighborhood who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had
carefully ascertained from the Magi. Then was fulfilled what was spoken through

At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to
a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was
Mary. And when the angel had come to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with
you. Blessed are you among women." When she had heard him she was troubled at his word,
and kept pondering what manner of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, "Do
not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold, you shall conceive in your
womb and shall bring forth a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and
shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of
David His father, and He shall be king over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom
there shall be no end." But Mary said to the angel, "How shall this happen, since I do not
know man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit shall come upon you and
the power of the Most High shall overshadow you; and therefore the Holy One to be born
shall be called the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman also has conceived a
son in her old age, and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month; for nothing
shall be impossible with God." But Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done
to me according to your word."

At that time, when they were returning, the Boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, and His
parents did not know it. But thinking that He was in the caravan, they had come a day's
journey before it occurred to them to look for Him among their relatives and
acquaintances. And not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of Him. And it
came to pass after three days, that they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of
the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who were listening to
Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. And when they saw Him, they were
astonished. And His Mother said to Him, Son, why have You done so to us? Behold, in

At that time, when Jesus had taken the wine, He said, It is consummated! And
bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. The Jews therefore, since it was the
Preparation Day, in order that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on
the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a solemn day, besought Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. The soldiers
therefore came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other, who had
been crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was
already dead, they did not break His legs; but one of the soldiers opened His
side with a lance, and immediately there came out Blood and water. And he who
saw it has borne witness, and his witness is true.

In Isaía légimus: Generatiónem ejus quis enarrábit? Non ergo putémus Evangelístam
Prophétæ esse contrárium, ut quod ille impossíbile dixit effátu, hic narráre incípiat:
quia ibi de generatióne Divinitátis, hic de incarnatióne est dictum. A carnálibus autem
cœpit, ut per hóminem, Deum díscere incipiámus. Fílii David, fílii Abraham. Ordo
præpósterus, sed necessário commutátus. Si enim primum posuísset Abraham et póstea David,
rursus ei repeténdus fúerat Abraham, ut generatiónis séries texerétur.
Ideo autem, céteris prætermíssis, horum fílium nuncupávit, quia ad hos tantum facta est
de Christo repromíssio. Ad Abraham: In sémine, inquit, tuo benedicéntur omnes gentes,
quod est Christus. Ad David: De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam. Judas autem
génuit Phares et Zaram de Thamar. Notándum, in genealogía Salvatóris nullam sanctárum

de peccatóribus nascens, ómnium peccáta deléret. Unde et in consequéntibus Ruth Moabítis
pónitur, et Bethsabée uxor Uríæ.
Jacob autem génuit Joseph. Hunc locum objécit nobis Juliánus Augústus de dissonántia
Evangelistárum, cur Evangelísta Matthǽus Joseph díxerit fílium Jacob et Lucas eum fílium
appellárit Heli; non intéllegens consuetúdinem Scripturárum, quod alter secúndum natúram,
alter secúndum legem ei pater sit. Scimus enim hoc per Móysen, Deo jubénte, præcéptum, ut,

In Isaiah we read: Who shall declare his generation? Let us not, then, think that the
Evangelist is contrary to the Prophet, so that what the Prophet said was impossible to
utter, the Evangelist should begin to narrate: for there it is spoken of the generation
of His Godhead, here of His Incarnation. He began from the things of the flesh, that
through man we might begin to know God. The son of David, the son of Abraham. The order
is reversed, but of necessity changed. For if he had put Abraham first and David after,
Abraham would have had to be repeated again, that the series of the generation might be
woven together.
Matthew first calleth Christ the son of these twain only, Abraham and David, all others
being passed over, because unto these twain only was the promise concerning Christ made.
To Abraham: In thy seed, saith He, shall all nations be blessed, which is Christ. To
David: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. And Judas begat Phares and
Zara of Thamar. It is to be noted that in the genealogy of the Saviour none of the holy
women is taken, but those whom Scripture reproves; that He Who came for the sake of
sinners, being born of sinners, might blot out the sins of all. Whence also in what
follows is set Ruth the Moabitess, and Bathsheba the wife of Urias.
And Jacob begat Joseph. This passage Julian Augustus objected to us on account of the
seeming disagreement of the Evangelists, why the Evangelist Matthew called Joseph the son
of Jacob, and Luke calls him the son of Heli; not understanding the custom of the
Scriptures, that one is his father according to nature, another according to the law. For
we know this was commanded through Moses, at God's bidding, that if a brother or kinsman
should die without children, another should take his wife to raise up seed to his brother
or kinsman. Joseph the husband of Mary. When you hear the word husband, let no suspicion
of marriage come upon you; but remember the custom of the Scriptures, that betrothed men
and women are called husbands and wives.

Elizabeth's time was fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she brought forth a son.
And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified His mercy toward her, and
they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise
the child, and they were going to call him by his father's name, Zachary. And his mother
answered and said, "Not so, but he shall be called John." And they said to her, "There is
none of your kindred that is called by this name." And they kept inquiring by signs of his
father what he would have him called. And asking for a writing-tablet he wrote the words,
"John is his name." And they all marveled. And immediately his mouth was opened and his
tongue loosed, and he began to speak, blessing God. And fear came on all their neighbors;
and all these things were spoken abroad in all the hill country of Judea. And all who
heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the
hand of the Lord was with him. And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and
prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and
wrought redemption for His people."

At that time, Jesus seeing the crowds, went up the mountain. And when He was
seated, His disciples came to Him. And opening His mouth He taught them,
saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth. Blessed are they who
mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst
for justice, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they
shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are you when men reproach you, and persecute you, and, speaking
falsely, say all manner of evil against you, for My sake. Rejoice and exult,
because your reward is great in heaven.

And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go
before him over the water, till he dismissed the people. And having
dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it
was evening, he was there alone. But the boat in the midst of the sea was
tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of
the night, he came to them walking upon the sea. And they seeing him walk
upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out
for fear. And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it
is I, fear ye not. And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come to thee upon the waters. And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of
the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus. But seeing the wind
strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying:
Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of
him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? And when
they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased. And they that were in the
boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.

word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode
with him. He who does not love Me, does not keep My words. And the word that
you have heard is not Mine, but the Father's Who sent Me. These things I have
spoken to you while yet dwelling with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
Whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and bring
to your mind whatever I have said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I
give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be
troubled, or be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, "I go away and I am
coming to you." If you loved Me, you would indeed rejoice that I am going to
the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it
comes to pass, that when it has come to pass you may believe. I will no longer
speak much with you, for the prince of the world is coming and in Me he has
nothing. But he comes that the world may know that I love the Father, and that
I do as the Father has commanded Me.

At that time, when the days of Mary's purification were fulfilled according to the Law
of Moses, they took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord — as it is written
in the Law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the
Lord" — and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, "a
pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons." And behold, there was in Jerusalem a man
named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel,
and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit
that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. And he came by
inspiration of the Spirit into the temple. And when His parents brought in the Child
Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the Law, he also received Him into his
arms and blessed God, saying, "Now You dismiss Your servant, O Lord, according to Your
word, in peace; because my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before
the face of all peoples: a light of revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory for Your
people Israel."

pondering what manner of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her,
Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold, you shall

At that time, Jesus came into the quarters of Cæsarea Philippi, and He asked His
disciples, saying, "Whom do men say that the Son of Man is?" But they said, "Some John
the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets." Jesus
saith to them, "But whom do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art
Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answering, said to him, "Blessed art thou,
Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but My Father Who
is in heaven. And I say to thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My

Cum, sicut evangelica lectióne reserátum est, interrogasset Dóminus discipulos, quem
ipsum (multis diversa opinántibus) crederent; respondissétque beátus Petrus, dicens:
Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi; Dóminus ait: Beátus es, Simon Bar-Jona, quia caro et
sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cælis est: et ego dico tibi, quia
tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non

solutum et in cælis. Manet ergo disposítio veritátis, et beátus Petrus, in accepta
fortitúdine petræ persevérans, suscepta Ecclésiæ gubernácula non relíquit.
In univérsa namque Ecclésia, Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi, quotídie Petrus dicit;
et omnis lingua, quæ confitétur Dóminum, magisterio hujus vocis imbuitur. Hæc fides
diabolum vincit et captivórum ejus víncula dissolvit. Hæc érutos mundo, ínserit
cælo, et portæ ínferi advérsus eam prævalere non possunt. Tanta enim divinitus
soliditate muníta est, ut eam neque hæretica umquam corrumpere pravitas, nec pagána

custódia persevérat, et cujus étiam dignitas in indigno heréde non déficit.
Cum ergo cohortatiónes nostras áuribus vestræ sanctitátis adhibemus, ipsum vobis,

vobis, quam quod docuit, prædicámus; obsecrántes, ut succincti lumbos mentis vestræ,

When the Lord, as we read in the Evangelist, asked His disciples: Who did men, amid
their diverse speculations, believe that He, the Son of Man, was; blessed 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 Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but My Father, Which is in heaven: and I say also unto thee,
that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it; 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. Thus therefore
standeth the ordinance of the Truth, and blessed Peter, abiding still that firm rock
which God hath made him, hath never lost that right to rule in the Church which God
hath given unto him.
In the universal Church it is Peter that doth still say every day, Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God, and every tongue which confesseth that Jesus is
Lord is taught that confession by the teaching of Peter. This is the faith that
overcometh the devil and looseth the bands of his prisoners. This is the faith which
maketh men free of the world and bringeth them to heaven, and the gates of hell are
impotent to prevail against it. With such ramparts of salvation hath God fortified
this rock, that the contagion of heresy will never be able to infect it, nor idolatry
and unbelief to overcome it. This teaching it is, my dearly beloved brethren, which
maketh the keeping of this Feast to-day to be our reasonable service, even the
teaching which maketh you to know and honour in myself, lowly though I be, that Peter
who is still entrusted with the care of all other shepherds and of all the flocks to
them committed, and whose authority I have, albeit unworthy to be his heir.
When therefore, we address our exhortations to your godly ears, believe ye that ye are
hearing him speak whose office we are discharging. Yea, it is with his love for you
that we warn you, and we preach unto you no other thing than that which he taught,
entreating you that ye would gird up the loins of your mind and lead pure and sober
lives in the fear of God. My disciples dearly beloved, ye are to me, as the disciples
of the Apostle Paul were to him, a crown and a joy, if your faith, which, in the first
times of the Gospel, was spoken of throughout the whole world, abide still lovely and
holy. For, albeit it behoveth the whole Church which is spread throughout all the
world, to be strong in righteousness, you it chiefly becometh above all other peoples
to excel in worth and godliness, whose house is built upon the very crown of the Rock
of the Apostle, and whom not only hath our Lord Jesus Christ, as He hath redeemed all
men, but whom also His blessed Apostle Peter hath made the foremost object of his
teaching.

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, When you hear of wars and insurrections, do
not be terrified; these things must first come to pass, but the end will not be at
once. Then He said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom; and there will be great earthquakes in various places, and pestilences and
famines, and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. But before all these
things they will arrest you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and
prisons, dragging you before kings and governors for My name's sake. It shall lead to
your bearing witness. Resolve therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how
you are to make your defense. For I Myself will give you utterance and wisdom, which
all your adversaries will not be able to resist or gainsay. But you will be delivered up

Dóminus ac Redémptor noster peritúri mundi præcurréntia mala denúntiat, ut eo minus

et nos tolerabílius mundi mala suscípimus, si contra hæc per præsciéntiæ clípeum
munímur. Ecce enim dicit: Cum audiéritis prǽlia et seditiónes, nolíte terréri: opórtet

per quæ nos áliud intérius, áliud extérius passúros esse denúntiat; bella quippe ad
hostes pértinent, seditiónes ad cives. Ut ergo nos índicet intérius exteriúsque
turbári, áliud nos fatétur ab hóstibus, áliud a frátribus pérpeti.
Sed his malis præveniéntibus, quia non statim finis sequátur, adjúngit: Surget gens

pestiléntiæ, et fames, terrorésque de cælo: et signa magna erunt. Última tribulátio

Our Lord and Redeemer willeth us to know what shall be the signs that the end of the
world is at hand, to the end that ye may be the less terrified, when that cometh
whereof ye have already had warning. Darts strike less which are seen coming: and the
plagues of the earth will be to us more bearable, if we are harnessed against them with
the shield of foreknowledge. Behold, how He saith, When ye shall hear of wars and
commotions be not terrified, for these things must first come to pass; but the end is
not by and by. It behoveth us to ponder these words of our Redeemer, wherein He warneth
us of suffering, from without, and from within. Wars are the work of a foreign enemy,
commotions of the citizens. Therefore, that He may let us know that we shall be
troubled from within and from without, He showeth that our wrestling shall be in part
against strangers, and in part against our brethren.
When these woes come, the end is not by and by. And He saith further, Nation shall
rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and great earthquakes shall be in
diverse places, and pestilences, and famines, and fearful sights and great signs shall
there be from heaven. Before the last tribulation cometh, shall come many other
tribulations: and, by the many woes which shall come first, shall be foreshadowed the
everlasting woe which shall come in the end. And therefore, after wars and commotions,
the end is not yet by and by; many woes must come first, to give warning of the woe
that hath no end.
But, forasmuch as the signs and troubles whereof the Lord speaketh are so manifold, we
must needs shortly consider each; for, of necessity, we must suffer some things from
heaven, some from the earth, some from the powers of nature, and some from men. For
where He saith, Nation shall rise against nation, He speaketh concerning the troubling
of men; where, great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, concerning wrath from
above; where, and pestilences, concerning the frailty of the body; where, and famines,
concerning the barrenness of the earth: where, fearful signs from heaven, and tempests,
concerning commotions of the air. As, then, all things shall have an end, so, before
the end, shall all things be troubled; and we, who have sinned and come short in all
things, shall in all things be afflicted, that it may be fulfilled that is written: And
the world shall fight with Him against the unwise.

At that time, there was a certain royal official whose son was lying sick at
Capharnaum. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him
and besought Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus
therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you do not believe." The royal
official said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." Jesus said to him, "Go your
way, your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and departed.
But even as he was now going down, his servants met him and brought word saying that his
son lived. He asked of them therefore the hour in which he had got better. And they told
him, "Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him." The father knew then that it
was at that very hour in which Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself
believed, and his whole household.

At that time, Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi, and He asked His
disciples, saying, "Whom do men say that the Son of man is?" But they said, "Some John
the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets." Jesus
said to them, "But whom do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are
the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answering, said to him, "Blessed are
you, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but My Father
Who is in heaven. And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build
My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to you the
keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind upon earth, it shall be bound
also in heaven; and whatever you shall loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in
heaven."

At that time, as Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and His brethren
were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. And someone said to Him, Behold, Your
mother and your brethren are standing outside, seeking You. But He answered and said to

Sancti Evangélii, fratres caríssimi, brevis est léctio recitáta, sed magnis mysteriórum
pondéribus grávida. Jesus étenim, cónditor et redémptor noster, Matrem se nosse
dissímulat, et quæ ei mater sit et qui propínqui, non per cognatiónem carnis, sed per
conjunctiónem spíritus designat, dicens: Quæ est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei?
Quicúmque enim fécerit voluntátem Patris mei, qui in cælis est, ipse meus frater, et
soror, et mater est. Quibus nobis verbis quid áliud innuit, nisi quod obsequéntes
jussiónibus suis multos ex Gentilitáte cólligit; et Judǽam, ex cujus carne est génitus,
non agnóscit?
Sed cum is, qui voluntátem Patris fécerit, soror et frater Dómini dícitur, propter
utrúmque sexum qui ad fidem collígitur, mirum non est; mirándum vero valde est, quómodo
étiam mater dicátur. Fidéles enim discípulos fratres vocáre dignátus est, dicens: Ite,
nuntiáte frátribus meis. Qui ergo frater Dómini fíeri ad fidem veniéndo pótuerit,
quæréndum est quómodo étiam et mater esse possit.
Sed sciéndum nobis est, quia qui Christi soror et frater est credéndo, mater effícitur
prædicándo. Quasi enim parit Dóminum, quem cordi audiéntis infúderit; et mater ejus
prædicándo effícitur, si per ejus vocem amor Dómini in próximi mente generátur. Ad quam
rem nobis idónee confirmándam adest beáta Felícitas, cujus hódie natalícia celebrámus,

Dearly beloved brethren, the gospel which is read this day is but very short, but it is
heavy with great mysteries. Here Jesus, our Maker and Redeemer, feigneth Himself as
though He knew not His own Mother, and telleth who they be who are His mother and
brethren, not by fleshly kinship, but by kinship of mind, saying: Who is My mother, and
who are My brethren? Whosoever shall do the will of My Father, Which is in heaven, the
same is My brother, and sister, and mother. By the which words, what are we to
understand, save that He gathereth together from out of heathendom many that are
willing to obey His commandments, and that He knoweth not Jewry, whereof, according to
the flesh, He is a son?
Seeing that both men and women are called to the faith, we marvel not that He saith
that whosoever shall do the will of His Father, the same is His brother and sister. But
it is startling to hear that the same is also His mother. His faithful disciples He is
pleased to call His brethren, where He saith, Go, tell My brethren. If then it is by
joining His religion that one can become the brother of the Lord, let us see how one can
become His mother.
But we must know that even as one becometh His brother or His sister by believing in
Him, so one becometh His mother by preaching Him. Such an one, as it were, giveth birth
to the Lord by causing Him to be in the hearer's heart, and by words giving His love
existence in their neighbour's mind. For an example in point, behold blessed Felicity,
whose Birth-day we keep today. She was one whose faith made her Christ's hand-maiden,
and whose preaching made her Christ's mother. We read in the corrected edition of her
Acts that she dreaded as much to leave her seven sons behind her alive in the flesh, as
do worldly mothers to send theirs dead before them.

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, "These things I command you, that you may
love one another. If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before you. If you
were of the world, the world would love what is its own. But because you are not of the
world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember

persecuted Me, they will persecute you also; if they have kept My word, they will keep
yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do
not know Him Who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin.
But now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had
not done among them works such as no one else has done, they would have no sin. But now

Law may be fulfilled, 'They have hated Me without cause.'"

When the Lord, as we read in the Evangelist, asked His disciples: Who did men, amid
their diverse speculations, believe that He, the Son of Man, was; blessed 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 Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but My Father, Which is in heaven: and I say also unto thee,
that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it; 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. Thus therefore
standeth the ordinance of the Truth, and blessed Peter, abiding still that firm rock
which God hath made him, hath never lost that right to rule in the Church which God
hath given unto him.
In the universal Church it is Peter that doth still say every day, Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God, and every tongue which confesseth that Jesus is
Lord is taught that confession by the teaching of Peter. This is the faith that
overcometh the devil and looseth the bands of his prisoners. This is the faith which
maketh men free of the world and bringeth them to heaven, and the gates of hell are
impotent to prevail against it. With such ramparts of salvation hath God fortified
this rock, that the contagion of heresy will never be able to infect it, nor idolatry
and unbelief to overcome it. This teaching it is, my dearly beloved brethren, which
maketh the keeping of this Feast to-day to be our reasonable service, even the
teaching which maketh you to know and honour in myself, lowly though I be, that Peter
who is still entrusted with the care of all other shepherds and of all the flocks to
them committed, and whose authority I have, albeit unworthy to be his heir.
When therefore, we address our exhortations to your godly ears, believe ye that ye are
hearing him speak whose office we are discharging. Yea, it is with his love for you
that we warn you, and we preach unto you no other thing than that which he taught,
entreating you that ye would gird up the loins of your mind and lead pure and sober
lives in the fear of God. My disciples dearly beloved, ye are to me, as the disciples
of the Apostle Paul were to him, a crown and a joy, if your faith, which, in the first
times of the Gospel, was spoken of throughout the whole world, abide still lovely and
holy. For, albeit it behoveth the whole Church which is spread throughout all the
world, to be strong in righteousness, you it chiefly becometh above all other peoples
to excel in worth and godliness, whose house is built upon the very crown of the Rock
of the Apostle, and whom not only hath our Lord Jesus Christ, as He hath redeemed all
men, but whom also His blessed Apostle Peter hath made the foremost object of his
teaching.

At that time, Jesus answered and said to the Sadducees, You err because you know
neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For at the Resurrection they will
neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be as angels of God in heaven.
But as to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you
by God, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob"? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the crowds
heard this, they marveled at His teaching. But the Pharisees, hearing that He had
silenced the Sadducees, gathered together. And one of them, a doctor of the Law,
putting Him to the test, asked Him, Master, which is the great commandment in the
Law? Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart,
and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and the
first commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as
yourself. On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.

# Nocturn 2 (Lectio4-6). St. Ambrose's Psalm 118 exposition is a psalm
# commentary applied generically to a persecuted martyr, not tied to

#
# Update (2026-09-05, second pass): Nocturn 3 now authored too, from
# 07-13.txt's explicit alternate "(rubrica 1570 aut rubrica 1617)"
# Lectio7-9 -- of particular interest given this app's own
# Monastic-1617-track structural default, since the file's *default*
# modern rubric ends at Lectio94 with no Nocturn 3 at all. Gospel
# (Luke 14:26-33, "Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum") from
# obsolete/missa/Latin+English/Commune/C2c.txt (no live missa/Commune/
# C2c.txt in this reference-engine copy). Pope St. Gregory's Homily 37
# on the Gospels has no English translation anywhere in the reference

At that time, Jesus said to the crowds, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his
father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his
own life, he cannot be My disciple. And he who does not carry his cross and follow Me,
cannot be My disciple. For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not sit down
first and calculate the outlays that are necessary, whether he has the means to
complete it? Lest, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all who
behold begin to mock him, saying, "This man began to build and was not able to finish!"
Or what king setting out to engage in battle with another king, does not sit down first
and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who with twenty
thousand is coming against him? Or else, whilst the other is yet at a distance, he sends
a delegation and asks the terms of peace. So, therefore, every one of you who does not
renounce all that he possesses, cannot be My disciple.

Si consideremus fratres carissimi, quæ et quanta sunt, quæ nobis promittuntur in cælis,
vilescunt animo omnia quæ habentur in terris. Terrena namque substantia supernæ
felicitati comparata, pondus est, non subsidium. Temporalis vita æternæ vitæ comparata,
mors est potius dicenda quam vita, Ipse enim quotidianus defectus corruptionis quid est
aliud, quam quædam prolixitas mortis? Quæ autem lingua dicere, vel quis intellectus
capere sufficit, illa supernæ civitatis quanta sint gaudia; Angelorum choris interesse,
cum beatissimis spiritibus gloriæ Conditoris assistere, præsentem Dei vultum cernere,
incircumscriptum lumen videre, nullo mortis metu affici, incorruptionis perpetuæ munere
lætari? Sed ad hæc audita inardescit animus, jamque illic cupit assistere, ubi se sperat
sine fine gaudere. Sed ad magna præmia perveniri non potest, nisi per magnos labores.
Unde et Paulus egregius prædicator dicit: Non coronabitur, nisi qui legitime certaverit.
Delectet ergo mentem magnitudo præmiorum, sed non deterreat certamen laborum. Unde ad
se venientibus Veritas dicit: Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem,
et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest
meus esse discipulus. Sed percontari libet, quomodo parentes et carnaliter propinquos
præcipimur odisse, qui jubemur et inimicos diligere? Et certe Veritas de uxore dicit:
Quod Deus conjunxit, homo non separet. Et Paulus ait: Viri, diligite uxores vestras,
sicut et Christus Ecclesiam. Ecce, discipulus uxorem diligendam prædicat, cum magister
dicat: Qui uxorem non odit, non potest meus esse discipulus. Numquid aliud judex
nuntiat, aliud præco clamat? An simul et odisse possumus, et diligere? Sed si vim
præcepti perpendimus, utrumque agere per discretionem valemus: ut uxorem, et eos, qui
nobis carnis cognatione conjuncti sunt, et quos proximos novimus, diligamus; et quos
adversarios in via Dei patimur, odiendo et fugiendo nesciamus.
Quasi enim per odium diligitur, qui carnaliter sapiens, dum prava nobis ingerit, non
auditur. Ut autem dominus demonstraret hoc erga proximos odio non de affectione
procedere, sed de charitate, addidit protinus, odisse et animam nostram. Constat ergo,
quia amando debet odisse proximum, qui sic eum odit sicut semet ipsum. Tunc etenim
nostram animam bene odimus, cum ejus carnalibus desideriis non acquiescimus, cum ejus
appetitum frangimus, ejus voluptatibus reluctamur. Quæ ergo contempta ad melius ducitur,
quasi per odium amatur. Sic nimirum exhibere proximis nostris odii discretionem
debemus, ut in eis et diligamus quod sunt, et habeamus odio quod in Dei nobis itinere
obsistunt.

If we consider, dearly beloved brethren, what and how great are the things that are
promised us in heaven, all things that are possessed on earth grow worthless in our
sight. For earthly substance, compared to the felicity above, is a burden, not a help.
This present life, compared to the life eternal, ought rather to be called death than
life; for what else is this daily wasting away of our corruption but a certain
lengthening-out of death? But what tongue can tell, or what understanding can grasp,
how great are the joys of that city above -- to share the choirs of Angels, to stand
with the most blessed spirits in the glory of our Maker, to behold the very Face of
God, to see the light that knoweth no bound, to be touched by no fear of death, and to
rejoice in the gift of everlasting incorruption? But when we hear these things our
heart is kindled, and already longs to be present there, where it hopes to rejoice
without end. Yet we cannot come to such great rewards, except through great labors.
Whence Paul, that excellent preacher, saith: He shall not be crowned, unless he shall
have striven lawfully.
Let, then, the greatness of the rewards delight the mind, but let not the struggle of
the labors deter it. Whence the Truth saith to those who come to Him: If any man come
to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and
sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. But it is fitting to ask
how we are commanded to hate our parents and those near to us in the flesh, we who are
also bidden to love even our enemies. And indeed the Truth saith of a wife: What God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And Paul saith: Husbands, love your
wives, even as Christ also loved the Church. Behold, the disciple preaches that a wife
is to be loved, while the Master says: Whoever does not hate his wife cannot be My
disciple. Does the judge, then, proclaim one thing, and the herald cry another? Can we
both hate and love at the same time? But if we weigh the force of the precept, we are
able to do both through discernment: that we may love our wife, and those joined to us
by kinship of the flesh, and those whom we know as our neighbors; and that, as for
those whom we suffer as adversaries in the way of God, we may not know them, but hate
and flee from them.
For he is, as it were, loved through hatred, when the one who is carnally minded, while
pressing wicked counsel upon us, is not heeded. But that the Lord might show that this
hatred toward our neighbors proceeds not from ill-will but from charity, He added at
once that we must also hate our own soul. It is clear, then, that he who hates his
neighbor as he hates himself must hate him out of love. For then do we rightly hate our
own soul, when we do not yield to its carnal desires, when we break its appetite, and
resist its pleasures. That which, being held in contempt, is thereby led to something
better, is, as it were, loved through hatred. So indeed ought we to show toward our
neighbors this discernment of hatred: that in them we may love what they are, while
hating what stands in the way of God within them.

At that time, as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon,
who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea — for they were
fishermen. And He said to them, "Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
And at once they left the nets, and followed Him. And going farther on, He saw two other
brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, in a boat with Zebedee their
father, mending their nets; and He called them. And immediately they left their nets and
their father, and followed Him.

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God as
a little child will not enter into it. And He put His arms about the children, and laying
His hands upon them, He began to bless them. And as He was going forth on His journey, a
certain man running up fell upon his knees before Him, and asked Him, Good Master, what
shall I do to gain eternal life? But Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is
good but only God. You know the commandments: You shall not commit adultery. You shall not
kill. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. You shall not defraud. Honor
your father and mother. And he answered and said, Master, all these I have kept ever since
I was a child. And Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, One thing is
lacking to you; go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have
treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.

concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
What I tell you in darkness, speak it in the light; and what you hear whispered, preach

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis: Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et
matrem, et uxórem, et fílios, et fratres, et soróres, adhuc autem et ánimam suam, non
potest meus esse discípulus. Et qui non bájulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non
potest meus esse discípulus. Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificáre, non prius
sedens cómputat sumptus, qui necessárii sunt, si hábeat ad perficiéndum; ne, posteáquam
posúerit fundaméntum, et non potúerit perfícere, omnes, qui vident, incípiant illúdere
ei, dicéntes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificáre, et non pótuit consummáre? Aut quis rex
itúrus commíttere bellum advérsus álium regem, non sedens prius cógitat, si possit cum
decem mílibus occúrrere ei, qui cum vigínti mílibus venit ad se? Alióquin, adhuc illo
longe agénte, legatiónem mittens, rogat ea, quæ pacis sunt. Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui
non renúntiat ómnibus, quæ póssidet, non potest meus esse discípulus. Bonum est sal. Si
autem sal evanúerit, in quo condiétur? Neque in terram neque in sterquilínium útile est,
sed foras mittétur. Qui habet aures audiéndi, áudiat.

At that time Jesus said to the multitudes, "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his
father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own
life, he cannot be My disciple. And he who does not carry his cross and follow Me,
cannot be My disciple. For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not sit down
first and calculate the outlays that are necessary, whether he has the means to complete
it? Lest, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all who behold
begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish!' Or what
king setting out to engage in battle with another king, does not sit down first and
consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who with twenty thousand is
coming against him? Or else, while the other is yet at a distance, he sends a delegation
and asks the terms of peace. So, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all
that he possesses, cannot be My disciple. Salt is good; but if even the salt loses its
strength, what shall it be seasoned with? It is fit neither for the land nor for the
manure heap, but must be thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

At that time, Jesus seeing the crowds, went up the mountain. And when He was seated, His
disciples came to Him. And opening His mouth He taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor
in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek, for they shall
possess the earth. Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are
they who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the

another. Amen I say to you, you will not have gone through the towns of Israel before
the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above his teacher, nor is the servant above his
master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and for the servant to be
like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more
those of his household! Therefore do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing
concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
What I tell you in darkness, speak it in the light; and what you hear whispered, preach
it on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the
soul. But rather be afraid of Him Who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zachary, for your petition has been
heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son and you shall call his name John.
And you shall have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he shall
be great before the Lord; he shall drink no wine or strong drink, and shall be filled
with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb. And he shall bring back to the Lord
their God many of the children of Israel, and he shall himself go before Him in the
spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the
incredulous to the wisdom of the just; to prepare for the Lord a perfect people. And
Zachary said to the angel, How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is
advanced in years. And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand
before God, and have been sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. And
behold, you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things come

At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called
Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the
virgin's name was Mary. And when the angel had come to her, he said, Hail, full of
grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women. When she had heard him she
was troubled at his word, and kept pondering what manner of greeting this might be.
And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God.
Behold, you shall conceive in your womb and shall bring forth a Son; and you shall
call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High;
and the Lord God will give Him the throne of David His father, and He shall be king
over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. But Mary
said to the angel, How shall this happen, since I do not know man? And the angel
answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the
Most High shall overshadow you; and therefore the Holy One to be born shall be called
the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman also has conceived a son in her
old age, and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month; for nothing shall

certain man running up fell upon his knees before Him, and asked Him, Good Master,
what shall I do to gain eternal life? But Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good?
No one is good but only God. You know the commandments: You shall not commit
adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness.
You shall not defraud. Honor your father and mother. And he answered and said,
Master, all these I have kept ever since I was a child. And Jesus, looking upon him,
loved him, and said to him, One thing is lacking to you; go, sell whatever you have,
and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.

In illo témpore: Cum natus esset Jesus in Béthlehem Juda in diébus Heródis regis,
ecce, Magi ab Oriénte venerunt Jerosólymam, dicéntes: Ubi est, qui natus est rex
Judæórum? Vidimus enim stellam ejus in Oriénte, et vénimus adoráre eum. Audiens autem
Heródes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Jerosólyma cum illo. Et cóngregans omnes
principes sacerdotum et scribas pópuli, sciscitabátur ab eis, ubi Christus
nasceretur. At illi dixérunt ei: In Béthlehem Judæ: sic enim scriptum est per
Prophétam: Et tu, Béthlehem terra Juda, nequáquam mínima es in princípibus Juda; ex
te enim éxiet dux, qui regat pópulum meum Israël. Tunc Heródes, clam vocátis Magis,
diligénter dídicit ab eis tempus stellæ, quæ appáruit eis: et mittens illos in
Béthlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogáte diligénter de púero: et cum invenéritis,
renuntiáte mihi, ut et ego véniens adórem eum. Qui cum audíssent regem, abiérunt. Et
ecce, stella, quam víderant in Oriénte, antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret
supra, ubi erat Puer. Vidéntes autem stellam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno valde. Et
intrántes domum, invenérunt Púerum cum María Matre ejus, et procidéntes adoravérunt
eum. Et, apértis thesáuris suis, obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, thus et myrrham. Et

At that time, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod,
behold, Magi came from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that is born King
of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him. But
when King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and so was all Jerusalem with him. And
gathering together all the chief priests and Scribes of the people, he inquired of
them where the Christ was to be born. And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea;
for thus it is written by the prophet, "And you, Bethlehem, of the land of Juda, are
by no means least among the princes of Juda; for from you shall come forth a leader
who shall rule My people Israel." Then Herod summoned the Magi secretly, and
carefully ascertained from them the time when the star had appeared to them. And
sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go and make careful inquiry concerning the Child,
and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may go and worship Him. Now
they, having heard the king, went their way. And behold, the star that they had seen
in the East went before them, until it came and stood over the place where the Child
was. And when they saw the star they rejoiced exceedingly. And entering the house,
they found the Child with Mary His Mother, and falling down they worshipped Him. And
opening their treasures they offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And
being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country
by another way.

In that time Jesus said to His disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt
lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be
cast out, and to be trodden on by men. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a
mountain cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a
candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before
men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not
think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall
not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these
least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of
heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

testimónium pérhibet de his, et scripsit hæc: et scimus, quia verum est testimónium ejus.

At that time, Jesus said to Peter: Follow Me. Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom
Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is
he that shall betray Thee? Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and
what shall this man do? Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what
is it to thee? Follow thou Me. This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that
that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but, So I
will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? This is that disciple who giveth
testimony of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is
true.

In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in

dico vobis, nisi convérsi fuéritis et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum

At that time, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who, thinkest thou, is the greater
in the kingdom of heaven?" And Jesus, calling unto Him a little child, set him in the
midst of them, and said, "Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as
little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore
shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
And he that shall receive one such little child in My name, receiveth Me. But he that
shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him
that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the
depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals! For it must needs be that
scandals come, but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh! And if thy
hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for
thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into
everlasting fire. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee.
It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast
into hell fire. See that you despise not one of these little ones, for I say to you,
that their Angels in heaven always see the face of My Father Who is in heaven."

At that time, the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, adoring and
asking something of Him. And He said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to Him: Say that
these my two sons may sit, the one on Thy right hand and the other on Thy left, in Thy
kingdom. And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice
that I shall drink? They say to Him: We can. He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall
drink; but to sit on My right hand or left is not Mine to give to you, but to them for whom
it is prepared by My Father.

At that time, Jesus having summoned the twelve apostles, gave them power and
authority over all the devils, and to cure diseases. And He sent them forth to
preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And He said to them, Take nothing
for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two
tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there, and do not leave the place. And
whoever does not receive you - go forth from that town, and shake off even the dust

At that time, it came to pass on another Sabbath, that Jesus entered the synagogue
and taught. And a man was there and his right hand was withered. And the Scribes and
the Pharisees were watching whether He cured on the Sabbath, that they might find
how to accuse Him. But He knew their thoughts, and He said to the man with the
withered hand, Arise and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. But
Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do evil;
to save a life, or to destroy it? And having looked around upon them all, He said to
the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth, and his hand was
restored. But they were filled with fury, and began to discuss among themselves what
they should do to Jesus.
