Add June Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
12 of June's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the major
Duplex I class feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. One left unsourced (the
Vigil of St. John the Baptist has only a Nocturn 1 scripture reading
in the source, nothing proper to author for Nocturn 2/3). Found a new
wrinkle: St. William Abbot has real vita content in both tracks,
essentially the same story independently transcribed — sourced from
the Tridentine file since only it has an English translation.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Leo II, Pope, Confessor (Jun 28 on
# this app's own calendar) — an off-date sourcing case like St. Paul
# the Hermit in the pre-1955 pass (memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints):
# the general Tridentine calendar keeps Leo II on Jul 3 instead
# (`Sancti/07-03.txt`). The suffixed `Sancti/06-28t.txt` at this app's
# own date simply redirects there (`@Sancti/07-03`). No genuine
# SanctiM match at either date: the only SanctiM file for Jun 28,
# `SanctiM/06-28oct.txt`, is an unrelated day within the Nativity of
# St. John the Baptist's own octave — a missed pre-1955-pool candidate
# rather than a genuine SanctiM case (see memory vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/07-03.txt, English/Sancti/07-03.txt.
# Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita, no genuine
# source break. No responsory given in the source.

Leo secúndus, Póntifex máximus, Sículus, humánis et divínis lítteris Græce et Latíne
doctus, músicis étiam erudítus fuit; ipse enim sacros Hymnos et Psalmos in Ecclésia ad
concéntum meliórem redúxit. Probávit acta sextæ Synodi, quæ Constantinópoli celebráta
est, præsidéntibus legátis apostólicæ Sedis, præsénte quoque Constantíno imperatóre, et
duobus patriárchis, Constantinopolitáno et Antiochéno, ac centum septuagínta epíscopis;
quam et in Latínum tránstulit.
In eo concílio Cyrus, Sergius et Pyrrhus condemnáti sunt, unam tantúmmodo voluntátem et
operatiónem in Christo prædicántes. Hic fregit supérbiam antístitum Ravennátum, qui,
exarchórum freti poténtia, Sedi apostólicæ non obtemperábant. Quam ob rem decrévit ut
eléctio cleri Ravennátis írrita esset, nisi Románi Pontíficis auctoritáte comprobarétur.
Vere pater páuperum fuit; non enim pecúnia solum, sed opera, labóre et consíliis,
egéntium viduárum et pupillórum inópiam ac solitúdinem sublevábat. Qui, dum síngulos non
magis prædicatióne quam vita ad pie sanctéque vivéndum adhortarétur, obdormívit in
Dómino mense sui pontificátus undécimo, quinto Nonas Julii, sepultúsque est in basílica
sancti Petri. Ordinatióne una, mense Júnio, creávit presbýteros novem, diáconos tres,
epíscopos divérsis in locis vigínti tres.

Leo II was a Sicilian. He was learned in sacred and worldly letters in the Greek and
Latin tongues, and was moreover an excellent musician. He re-arranged and improved the
music of the sacred hymns and Psalms used in the Church. He approved the acts of the
sixth general Council, which was held at Constantinople, under the Presidency of the
Legates of the Apostolic See, in the presence of the Emperor Constantine, the Patriarchs
of Constantinople and Antioch, and one hundred and seventy Bishops. Leo also translated
the decrees of the Council from Greek into Latin.
It was in this Council that Cyrus, Sergius, and Pyrrhus were condemned for teaching that
there is in Christ only one Will and one Working. Leo broke the pride of the Archbishops
of Ravenna, who had puffed themselves up under the power of the Exarchs to set at naught
the power of the Apostolic See. Wherefore he decreed that the elections of the clergy of
Ravenna should be nothing worth, until they had been confirmed by the authority of the
Bishop of Rome.
He was a very father to the poor. Not by money only, but by his work, his labours, and
his advice he relieved the poverty and loneliness of widows and orphans. He was leading
all to live holy and godly lives, not by mere preaching, but by his own life, when he fell
asleep in the Lord, having sat as Pope nine months and twenty-seven days. He was buried in
the Church of St. Peter. In the month of June he held one ordination whereat he ordained
nine Priests, three Deacons, and twenty-three Bishops for diverse places.
