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 reading for St. Felicitas, Martyr (Nov 23, sharing
# the date with St. Clement — see st-clement.yml). No genuine SanctiM
# match: the only SanctiM file for this date bases `@Sancti/11-23`
# (Clement, not Felicitas) — a missed pre-1955-pool candidate rather
# than a genuine SanctiM case (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints,
# vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/11-23cc.txt, English/Sancti/11-23cc.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous excerpt of
# Pope St. Gregory the Great's homily. No responsory given in the
# source.

Beáta Felícitas, cujus hódie natalícia celebrámus, septem fílios sic post se tímuit
vivos in carne relínquere, sicut carnáles paréntes solent metúere ne mórtuos
præmíttant. In persecutiónis enim labóre deprehénsa, filiórum corda in amóre
supérnæ pátriæ prædicándo roborávit; et parturívit spíritu quos carne pepérerat, ut
prædicatióne páreret Deo quos carne pepérerat mundo. Numquid ergo hanc féminam
Mártyrem díxerim? Sed plus quam Mártyrem; quæ, septem pignóribus ad regnum
præmíssis, tot ante se mórtuos transmísit. Ad pœnam prima venit, sed pervénit
octáva.

That blessed woman Felicity, whose Birth-feast we are keeping today, had as much
dread of leaving her seven sons living after her in the flesh, as have carnal-minded
mothers of seeing them go dead before them. When she was taken in the strong pains of
persecution, she braced up the hearts of her children by bidding them cleave to the
Fatherland above, and became their mother for the spiritual, as she had aforetime
been for the fleshly life, bringing them forth for God by her exhortation, as she had
brought them forth for the world by her body. And shall I not call this woman a
Martyr? Nay, more than Martyr. The seven whom she trusted to God were seven children
sent before her to death. She suffered first and triumphed last.
