Add November Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All
Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast
with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available
English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St.
Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out
Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.

# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for St. Martin I, Pope, Martyr (Nov 14
# 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 Martin I on Nov 12 instead
# (`Sancti/11-12.txt`), the date this app's own calendar uses for St.
# Emilian. No genuine SanctiM match at either date: the only SanctiM
# file at Nov 12, `SanctiM/11-12M.txt`, is St. Emilian's own
# (Common-only) file, and the file at Nov 14, `SanctiM/11-14M.txt`,
# bases `@SanctiM/11-02` (All Souls, unrelated) — a missed
# pre-1955-pool candidate rather than a genuine SanctiM case (see
# memory vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/11-12.txt, English/Sancti/11-12.txt.
#
# Nocturn 2: Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita.
# Nocturn 3: Lectio7's Gospel citation (Matt 16:13-19) is a bare
# incipit ("Et réliqua") with no full pericope text given (this day's
# own version of the same Peter's-confession pericope already given
# in full for `chair-of-st-peter-at-rome.yml` in January) — per the
# pre-1955 pass's convention of not transcribing bare incipits, only
# the homily portion is authored (not marked isGospel), combined with
# Lectio8-9 as one continuous excerpt of Pope St. Leo the Great's
# sermon. No responsory given for either reading.

Martinus, Tuderti in Umbria natus, inítio pontificatus, et litteris et legatiónibus
missis operam dedit, ut Paulum Constantinopolitanum patriarcham a nefaria hæresi ad
catholicæ fidei veritátem revocaret. Qui, Constante imperatóre hæretico fretus, eo
améntiæ progréssus fuerat, ut Sedis apostolicæ legatos varie in insulas relegarit. Quo
ejus scélere commótus Pontifex, coacto Romæ concílio centum quinque episcopórum, eum
condemnávit.
Quæ causa fuit Constanti mitténdi in Italiam Olympium exarchum, ut Martinum
Pontificem interficiéndum aut ad se perducéndum curaret. Igitur Olympius, Romam
veniens, lictori mandat ut Pontificem, dum in basilica sanctæ Maríæ ad Præsepe
Missárum solemnia celebraret, occíderet. Quod ubi lictor aggréditur, cæcus repénte
factus est.
Constanti autem imperatóri ex eo témpore multæ calamitátes incidérunt; quibus
níhilo mélior factus, Theodórum Callíopam ad Urbem mittens, imperat ut Pontifici
manus injíciat. A quo per fraudem captus Martinus et Constantinopolim perductus,
deínde in Chersonesum relegátus; ibi ob catholicam fidem ærumnis confectus,
sextodecimo Kalendas Octobris cessit e vita, clarus miraculis. Cujus corpus, Romam
póstea translátum, in ecclésia conditum est, quæ sanctórum Silvestri et Martini
nómine dedicáta erat. Præfuit Ecclésiæ annos sex, mensem unum, dies viginti sex.
Habuit ordinatiónes duas mense Decembri, quibus creávit presbyteros undecim,
diaconos quinque, episcopos per diversa loca trigínta tres.

Martin was born at Todi in Tuscany. At the beginning of his Popedom, he was careful to
send an embassage with letters to Paul, Patriarch of Constantinople, to call upon him
to return to the truth of the Catholic faith from the blasphemous heresy of the
Monothelites. But Paul, being backed up by the heretic Emperor Constans, had become so
rabid, that he sent away the messengers of the Apostolic See into diverse places in
the islands. This crime moved the Pope to gather together at Rome a council of
one-hundred-and-five Bishops, by whom Paul was condemned.
Thereupon Constans sent Olympius into Italy as Exarch, straitly commanding him either
to slay Pope Martin, or else to bring him into his Imperial presence. Olympius
therefore came to Rome and bade a lictor to kill the Pope while as he was celebrating
the Liturgy solemnly in the Cathedral Church of St Mary-at-the-Manger. But when the
lictor went thither, he was struck with blindness.
From that time forth many evils befell the Emperor Constans; but he repented not. He
sent the Exarch Theodore Calliopas to Rome, with command to lay hands on the Pope. By
him Martin was treacherously taken, brought to Constantinople, and sent to the Crimea.
There his sufferings for the Catholic faith utterly broke him down, and he left this
life for a better, famous for miracles. His body was afterwards brought back to Rome
and buried in the Church dedicated under the names of St. Silvester and St. Martin (of
Tours.) He ruled the Church for six years, one month, and twenty-six days. He held two
ordinations in the month of December, wherein he made eleven Priests, five Deacons,
and thirty-three Bishops for diverse places.

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
prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cælórum: et quodcúmque ligáveris
super terram, erit ligátum et in cælis: et quodcúmque solveris super terram, erit
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
potúerit superare perfidia. His ítaque modis, dilectíssimi, rationábile obsequio
celebrétur hodiérna festívitas: ut in persona humilitátis meæ ille intelligátur, ille
honorétur, in quo et ómnium pastórum sollicitudo, cum commendatárum sibi óvium
custódia persevérat, et cujus étiam dignitas in indigno heréde non déficit.
Cum ergo cohortatiónes nostras áuribus vestræ sanctitátis adhibemus, ipsum vobis,
cujus vice fungimur, loqui crédite: quia et illíus vos afféctu monémus, et non aliud
vobis, quam quod docuit, prædicámus; obsecrántes, ut succincti lumbos mentis vestræ,
castam et sobriam vitam in Dei timóre ducatis. Corona mea, sicut Apóstolus ait, et
gáudium vos estis, si fides vestra, quæ ab inítio Evangélii in universo mundo
prædicáta est, in dilectióne et sanctitáte permanserit. Nam licet omnem Ecclésiam,
quæ in toto est orbe terrárum, cunctis oporteat florere virtútibus; vos tamen
præcipue inter ceteros pópulos decet meritis pietátis excellere, quos in ipsa
apostolicæ petræ arce fundatos, et Dóminus noster Jesus Christus cum ómnibus redémit,
et beátus Apóstolus Petrus præ ómnibus erudívit.

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.
