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.

Cæcília, Virgo Romana, nobili genere nata, a prima ætate christianæ fidei præceptis
|
|
instituta, virginitátem suam Deo vovit. Sed, cum póstea, contra suam voluntátem,
|
|
data esset in matrimónium Valeriáno, prima nuptiárum nocte hunc cum eo sermónem
|
|
hábuit: Ego, Valeriane, in Angeli tutela sum, qui virginitátem meam custódit; quare
|
|
ne quid in me committas, quo ira Dei in te concitétur. Quibus verbis commótus
|
|
Valerianus, illam attingere non est ausus; quin étiam addidit se in Christum
|
|
creditúrum, si eum Angelum vidéret. Cui Cæcília cum sine baptismo negaret id fíeri
|
|
posse, incénsus cupiditate vidéndi Angelum, se baptizari velle respóndit. Quare
|
|
hortatu Vírginis ad Urbanum Papam, qui propter persecutiónem in Mártyrum sepúlcris
|
|
via Appia latebat, veniens, ab eo baptizátur.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inde ad Cæciliam reversus, orántem et cum ea Angelum divino splendore fulgentem
|
|
invénit. Quo aspectu obstupefactus, ut primum ex timóre confirmátus est, Tiburtium
|
|
fratrem suum accersit; qui, a Cæcília Christi fide imbutus et ab eodem Urbano
|
|
baptizatus, ipse étiam ejusdem Angeli, quem frater ejus viderat, aspectu dignátus
|
|
est. Uterque autem paulo post, Almachio præfecto, constanter martyrium subiit. Qui
|
|
mox Cæciliam comprehéndi imperat, ab eáque primum, ubi Tiburtii et Valeriáni
|
|
facultates sint, exquirit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cui, cum Virgo ómnia illórum paupéribus distributa esse respondísset, eo furóre
|
|
concitátus est, ut eam, in ipsíus ædes reductam, in balneo comburi jusserit. Quo in
|
|
loco cum diem noctemque ita fuísset ut ne flamma quidem illam attingeret, eo
|
|
immissus est carnifex, qui ter secúri ictam, cum caput abscindere non potuísset,
|
|
semivivam relíquit. Illa triduo post, sextodecimo Kalendas Octobris, Alexandro
|
|
imperatóre, duplici virginitátis et martyrii palma decorata, evolávit in cælum.
|
|
Cujus corpus ab ipso Urbano Papa in Callísti cœmeterio sepúltum est, in ejus ædibus
|
|
ecclésia ipsíus Cæcíliæ consecrata. Ejus et Urbani ac Lucii Pontificum, Tiburtii,
|
|
Valeriáni et Maximi corpora, a Paschali primo Pontifice inde transláta in Urbem, in
|
|
eádem sanctæ Cæcíliæ ecclésia cóndita sunt.

|
Cecilia was a Roman maiden of noble birth, trained up from her earliest years in the
|
|
teaching of the Christian faith, and who by vow consecrated her virginity to God. She
|
|
was afterwards given in marriage, against her will, to Valerian. On the first night
|
|
she said to him: Valerian! I am under the wardship of an Angel, who keepeth me always
|
|
a maiden. Therefore do nothing unto me, lest the anger of God should be aroused
|
|
against thee. Valerian was moved at her words, and dared not to touch her. Also he
|
|
added even this, that he would believe in Christ, if he could see the Angel. Cecilia
|
|
answered him that that could not be unless he were first baptized, and for the sake
|
|
of seeing the Angel he was willing. So she bade him go unto Pope Urban, who was hiding
|
|
in the sepulchre of the Martyrs on the Appian Way on account of the persecution. And
|
|
he went unto him and was baptized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whence he came back to Cecilia, and found her praying, and the Angel with her,
|
|
shining from the glory of God. As soon as he had recovered from the shock of wonder
|
|
and fear, he brought his brother Tiburtius, and Cecilia taught him Christ, and he was
|
|
baptized by the same Pope Urban, and he also was vouchsafed to see the Angel whom his
|
|
brother had seen. A little while after, both of them bravely suffered martyrdom under
|
|
the Praefect Almachius, who then caused Cecilia to be taken, and asked of her, first
|
|
of all, where was the property of Tiburtius and Valerian?
|
|
|
|
|
|
To him the Virgin answered that all their goods had been given to the poor.
|
|
Thereupon he was filled with fury, and commanded her to be taken home, and burnt in
|
|
the bath. She was in that place a day and a night, but the fire had not harmed her.
|
|
Then was sent the executioner, who gave her three strokes of the axe, and, as he
|
|
could not cut off her head, left her half-dead. Three days thereafter, in the reign
|
|
of the Emperor Alexander Severus, she winged her flight for heaven, glorified with
|
|
the two palms of virginity and martyrdom. Her body was buried in the cemetery of
|
|
Callistus by the aforenamed Pope Urban, who also consecrated a Church in her name in
|
|
her own house. Her relics were brought into the city by Pope Paschal I, along with
|
|
those of Tiburtius, Valerian, and Maximus, and all laid together in the said Church
|
|
of St Cecilia.
