Starts the bulk-content pass complementary to the pre-1955 saints pass: 11 of January's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (2 left unsourced — their Nocturn 2/3 content is entirely octave homiletic material, no proper vita text in either track). Most SanctiM files turn out to be thin rule overrides pointing back at the same Sancti/ text; only St. Maurus (Monastic-only, no Sancti file) needed direct SanctiM sourcing, with an original translation for its missing English source.

Joánnes Antiochénus, propter áureum eloquéntiæ flumen cognoménto Chrysóstomus, a
|
|
forensibus et sæcularibus stúdiis ad divinas litteras summa cum ingenii et industriæ
|
|
laude se cóntulit. Itaque sacris initiátus ac presbyter Antiochenæ ecclésiæ factus,
|
|
mortuo Nectario, Arcadii imperatóris opera, invitus Constantinopolitanæ ecclésiæ
|
|
præfícitur. Quo suscepto pastorali munere, depravatos mores, et nobiliórum hóminum
|
|
vivéndi licéntiam vehementius objurgare cœpit: qua ex libertáte magnam multórum subiit
|
|
invidiam. Apud Eudoxiam etiam, quod eam propter Callítropæ víduæ pecúniam, et alterius
|
|
víduæ agrum reprehendísset, gráviter offendit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quare aliquot episcopórum acto Chalcédone convéntu, quo ipse vocátus ire nóluit, quod nec
|
|
legítimum concílium nec publicum esse diceret, niténte in primis ipsa contra Chrysóstomum
|
|
Eudoxia, ejícitur in exsílium: sed paulo post propter ejus desidérium seditióne pópuli
|
|
facta, admirábili civitátis plausu ab exsílio revocátur. Verum cum pérditos mores
|
|
increpare non desísteret, et ad argenteam Eudoxiæ státuam in foro sanctæ Sophíæ ludos
|
|
fíeri prohibéret; conspiratióne inimicórum episcopórum íterum exsulare cógitur, viduis et
|
|
egéntibus ómnibus communis parentis ejectiónem lugéntibus. In exsílio Chrysóstomus
|
|
incredibile est et quanta mala perpéssus sit, et quam multos ad Jesu Christi fidem
|
|
convérterit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verum dum, concílio Romæ hábito, decreto Innocentii primi Pontificis restitúitur, a
|
|
milítibus, qui eum custodiébant, miris in itinere malis et calamitátibus affícitur.
|
|
Cumque per Armeniam ducerétur, sanctus Basiliscus Martyr, in cujus templo antea oraverat,
|
|
noctu sic eum affátus est: Joánnes frater, crástinus dies nos loco conjunget. Quare
|
|
postridie sumpto Eucharistiæ sacraménto seque crucis signo muniens, ánimam Deo réddidit,
|
|
décimo octavo Kalendas Octobris. Quo mortuo, horribilis grando Constantinópoli cécidit,
|
|
et quatríduo Augusta cessit e vita. Ejus corpus insígni pompa et hóminum multitúdine
|
|
celebrátum, Theodosius Arcadii fílius Constantinópolim portándum, et honorifice
|
|
sepeliéndum curávit sexto Kalendas Februarii: cujus étiam relíquias veneratus, paréntum
|
|
suórum véniam pétiit: quod deínde Romam translátum in basilica Vaticana cónditum est.
|
|
Multitúdinem, pietátem, ac splendórem conciónum ceterorúmque ejus scriptórum,
|
|
interpretándi étiam ratiónem, et inhærentem senténtiæ sacrórum librórum explanatiónem
|
|
omnes admirántur; dignumque existimant, cui Paulus Apóstolus, quem ille mirifice coluit,
|
|
scribénti et prædicanti multa dictasse videátur. Hunc vero præclaríssimum univérsæ
|
|
Ecclésiæ Doctórem Pius décimus Pontifex maximus cælestem oratórum sacrórum patronum
|
|
declarávit atque constítuit.

John of Antioch, who, on account of the golden stream of his eloquence, is called by the
|
|
Greeks Chrysostomos, or, the golden-mouthed, was a lawyer and man of the world of much
|
|
eminence, before he turned his great intellect and wonderful industry to the study of
|
|
things sacred. He took orders, and was ordained a priest of the Church of Antioch, and
|
|
after the death of Nectarius, was forced by the Emperor Arcadius to accept, though sorely
|
|
against his own will, the Archbishopric of Constantinople. Having received the burden of a
|
|
shepherd's office, he set himself zealously to do his duty, struggling against the
|
|
degradation of public morality and the loose lives of the nobility, and thereby drew upon
|
|
himself the ill-will of many enemies, especially the Empress Eudoxia, whom he had rebuked
|
|
on account of the money of the widow Callitropa, and the land of another widow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some Bishops being assembled in a Council at Chalcedon, which Council the Saint held to be
|
|
neither lawful, nor public, although he was commanded to go there, he refused. Whereupon
|
|
Eudoxia, striving earnestly against him, caused him to be sent into exile. Soon after,
|
|
however, the people of the city rose, and demanded his recall, and he was then brought back
|
|
again amid great public rejoicings. Nevertheless he ceased not to war against vice, and
|
|
absolutely forbade the celebration of public games round the silver statue of Eudoxia in
|
|
the square outside the Church of the Eternal Wisdom. Upon this, a party of Bishops, who
|
|
were enemies to him, banded together, and obtained that he should be banished again, which
|
|
was done accordingly, amid the lamentations of widows and the poor, who felt as if they
|
|
were being deprived of a common father. During this exile, it almost passeth belief how
|
|
much Chrysostom suffered, and how many souls he turned to the faith which is in Christ
|
|
Jesus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this time a Council was assembled at Rome, wherein Chrysostom's restoration to his See
|
|
was decreed by Pope Innocent I., but meanwhile, he was suffering great hardships and
|
|
cruelties on his journey at the hands of the soldiers who had him in charge. As he passed
|
|
through Armenia he prayed in the Church of the holy martyr Basiliscus, and the same night
|
|
that blessed conqueror appeared to him in a vision and said Brother John, to-morrow thou
|
|
shalt be with me. On the next day, therefore, he received the Sacrament of the Eucharist,
|
|
and, arming himself with the sign of the cross, resigned his soul to God. As soon as he was
|
|
dead a furious hailstorm took place at Constantinople, and after four days the Empress
|
|
died. The Emperor Theodosius, the son of Arcadius, brought the body of John Chrysostom to
|
|
Constantinople with great state, and numerously attended, and on the 27th of January, laid
|
|
it with magnificent honours in the grave, beside which he prayed for the forgiveness of his
|
|
own father and mother. The holy body was afterwards taken to Rome, and is now buried in the
|
|
Vatican Basilica. The number, devoutness, and brilliance of St. John Chrysostom's sermons
|
|
and other writings, his acuteness in exposition, and the close aptness of his explanations
|
|
of Holy Scripture, have been and are the object of universal wonder and admiration, and
|
|
often seem not unworthy to have been dictated to him by the Apostle Paul, for whom he
|
|
entertained a wonderful devotion.
