# 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

# Gospel (`web/www/missa/Latin/Commune/Coronatio.txt`'s `[Evangelium]`,
# English/Commune/Coronatio.txt), the same text already used for this

        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.

        In illo témpore: Venit Jesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos,
        dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? At illi dixérunt: Alii Joánnem Baptístam,
        alii autem Elíam, álii vero Jeremíam, aut unum ex prophétis. Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem
        quem me esse dícitis? Respóndens Simon Petrus, dixit: Tu es Christus, Fílius Dei vivi.
        Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non
        revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cœlis 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 cœlórum. Et quodcúmque ligáveris super terram, erit ligátum et

        At that time, Jesus came into the quarters of Cæsarea Philippi, and He asked His
        disciples, saying, "Whom do men say that the Son of Man is?" But they said, "Some John
        the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets." Jesus
        saith to them, "But whom do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art
        Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answering, said to him, "Blessed art thou,
        Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but My Father Who
        is in heaven. And I say to 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 to thee the
        keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be
        bound also in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also
        in heaven."

        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

        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.
