Continues the full-year sanctoral import: Ss. Tiburtius and Susanna, Ss. Hippolytus and Cassian, the Vigil of the Assumption, St. Joachim (Duplex II Classis, own full proper content), St. Hyacinth, St. John Eudes, St. Jane Frances de Chantal, the Immaculate Heart of the BVM (Duplex II Classis, instituted 1942, full proper content), St. Joseph Calasanctius, and St. Raymond Nonnatus. Several of the new fixed dates (Aug 16, 17, 21, 22) fall within or adjacent to St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's overlapping octave windows and now win outright there under the ordinary-feria/ordinary- sunday precedence rules, displacing what several existing tests expected to be bare octave commemorations or ferial fallbacks. Updated: - august-sanctoral.test.ts: Aug 22 now correctly shows the Immaculate Heart of Mary as the winner, with the Assumption's octave still commemorated alongside her. - day-label.test.ts: the two octave-priority tests pinned to Aug 17 (now St. Hyacinth's own day) moved their "day 8 alone" case to All Saints' own octave (Nov 8, still open); the two-octaves-overlap comparison can no longer be demonstrated via any real date in this app since every day where St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's octaves genuinely overlap is now real sanctoral content -- the underlying `pickWinningOctave` mechanism itself stays covered by tests/calendar/octaves.test.ts's own synthetic-data unit test. - vespers.test.ts: the Thursday Ps 138 split test moved off Aug 20, whose own first Vespers is now claimed by St. Jane Frances de Chantal's fixed day (Aug 21).

Joanna Francisca Frémiot de Chantal, Divione in Burgundia clarissimis
|
|
orta natalibus, ab ineunte ætate eximiæ sanctitatis non obscuras
|
|
edidit significationes. Eam enim vix quinquennem nobilem quemdam
|
|
Calvinistam solida supra ætatem argumentatione perstrinxisse ferunt,
|
|
collatumque ab eo munusculum flammis illico tradidisse, in hæc verba:
|
|
En quomodo hæretici apud inferos comburentur, qui loquenti Christo
|
|
fidem detrectant. Matre orbata, Deiparæ Virginis tutelæ se
|
|
commendavit, et famulam, quæ ad mundi amórem eam alliciebat, ab se
|
|
rejecit. Nihil puerile in moribus exprimens, a sæculi deliciis
|
|
abhorrens, martyriumque anhelans, religioni ac pietati impense
|
|
studebat. Baroni de Chantal nuptui a patre tradita, virtutibus
|
|
omnibus excolendis operam dedit, liberos famulos, aliosque sibi
|
|
subjectos in fidei doctrina, bonisque moribus imbuere satagens.
|
|
Profusa liberalitate pauperum inopiam sublevabat, annona divinitus
|
|
non raro multiplicata: quo factum est, ut nemini se umquam Christi
|
|
nomine roganti stipem abnegaturam spoponderit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Viro in venatione interempto, perfectioris vitæ consilium iniens,
|
|
continentiæ voto se obstrinxit. Viri necem non solum æquo animo
|
|
tulit, sed, in publicum indultæ veniæ testimonium, occisoris filium e
|
|
sacro fonte suscipere sui victrix elegit. Modica familia, tenui
|
|
victu atque vestitu contenta, pretiosas vestes in pios usus
|
|
convertit. Quidquid a domesticis curis supererat temporis, precibus,
|
|
piis lectionibus, laborique impendebat. Numquam adduci potuit ut
|
|
alteras nuptias, quamvis utiles et honorificas, iniret. Ne autem a
|
|
proposito castimoniæ observandæ in posterum dimoveretur, illius voto
|
|
innovato, sanctissimum Jesu Christi nomen candenti ferro pectori
|
|
insculpsit. Ardentius in dies caritate fervescens, pauperes,
|
|
derelictos, ægros, teterrimisque morbis infectos ad se adducendos
|
|
curabat; eosque non hospitio tantum excipiebat, solabatur, fovebat,
|
|
verum étiam sordidas eorumdem vestes depurgabat, laceras reficiebat,
|
|
et manantibus fœtido pure ulceribus labia admovere non exhorrebat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A sancto Francisco Salesio, quo spiritus moderatore usa fuit,
|
|
divinam voluntatem edocta, proprium parentem, socerum, filium
|
|
denique ipsum, quem étiam vocationi obsistentem, sua e domo
|
|
egrediens, pedibus calcare non dubitavit, invicta constantia
|
|
deseruit, et sacri instituti Visitationis sanctæ Mariæ fundamenta
|
|
jecit. Ejus instituti leges integerrime custodivit, et adeo
|
|
paupertatis fuit amans, ut vel necessaria sibi deesse gauderet.
|
|
Christianæ vero animi demissionis et obedientiæ, virtutum denique
|
|
omnium perfectissimum exemplar se præbuit. Altiores in corde suo
|
|
ascensiones disponens, arduissimo efficiendi semper id quod
|
|
perfectius esse intelligeret, voto se obstrinxit. Denique, sacro
|
|
Visitationis instituto ejus potissimum opera longe lateque diffuso,
|
|
verbo, exemplo, et scriptis étiam divina sapientia refertis, ad
|
|
pietatem et caritatem sororibus excitatis, meritis referta, et
|
|
sacramentis rite susceptis, Molinis, anno millesimo sexcentesimo
|
|
quadragesimo primo, die decima tertia Decembris, migravit ad
|
|
Dominum, ejusque animam, occurrente sancto Francisco Salesio, in
|
|
cælos deferri sanctus Vincentius a Paulo procul distans aspexit.
|
|
Ejus corpus postea Annecium translatum fuit: eamque miraculis ante
|
|
et post obitum claram Benedictus decimus quartus beatorum, Clemens
|
|
vero decimus tertius Pontifex Maximus albo sanctorum adjecit.

Jeanne Frances Fremiot de Chantal was born of parents of the highest
|
|
rank, at Dijon in Burgundy. From her earliest childhood she gave no
|
|
dark promise of a life of eminent holiness. It is said that when she
|
|
was scarcely fifteen years of age she confuted with precocious
|
|
acuteness a Presbyterian nobleman, and when he gave her a little
|
|
present she put it in the fire, saying: That is how heretics will
|
|
burn in hell for not believing Christ when He speaketh. On the death
|
|
of her mother, she placed herself under the keeping of the Virgin
|
|
Mother of God, and discharged a maid who strove to beguile her into
|
|
loving the world. She had nothing youthful about her ways. She
|
|
shrank from the pleasures of life. She had a strong wish that she
|
|
might die a martyr. She devoted herself unweariedly to religion and
|
|
godliness. Her father gave her in marriage to the Baron de Chantal,
|
|
and she strove to excel in all the duties and graces of a wife. She
|
|
made it her work to see that her children, her servants, and all
|
|
others under her authority were taught the doctrines of the faith
|
|
and the practice of good living. She relieved the sufferings of the
|
|
poor by plentiful almsgiving, for which purposes God not
|
|
unfrequently miraculously multiplied her money. And so it came to
|
|
pass that no one ever asked her for food in Christ's name and was
|
|
refused it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When her husband was accidentally killed out shooting, and in her
|
|
widowhood she determined to embrace the more excellent way, and
|
|
took a vow not to marry again. She bore her bereavement with
|
|
resignation to the Will of God, and so far overcame her horror of
|
|
the gentleman who had fired the shot, that, to show she attributed
|
|
no blame to him, she stood god-mother to his little boy. She was
|
|
quite content with few servants and plain cookery and dress, and
|
|
sold her rich wardrobe for the benefit of charities. She received
|
|
offers of second marriage which would have been both politic and
|
|
honourable, but never was induced to accept one of them, and to
|
|
harden herself in her intention of remaining in her widowhood, she
|
|
renewed her vow to that effect, and branded on her chest with a hot
|
|
iron the most holy name of Jesus Christ. Her love grew tenderer
|
|
every day, and she had brought to her the starving, the abandoned,
|
|
the diseased, and those who were afflicted with the most sickening
|
|
disorders. Them she not only sheltered, comforted, and nursed, but
|
|
washed and mended their filthy and ragged garments, and shrank not
|
|
from putting her mouth to their sores oozing with disgusting matter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
She used the services of St. Francis de Sales as her spiritual
|
|
adviser, and when she learnt from him what was the will of God, she
|
|
scrupled not to disregard the wishes of her own father, brother-in-
|
|
law, and even of her son, whom she left with calm determination,
|
|
went forth from her home, and founded the holy Institution of the
|
|
Sisters of the Visitation of St. Mary. She most rigidly kept the
|
|
rules of this Institute, and loved so well to be poor, that it made
|
|
her glad to lack even the necessaries of life. She showed herself a
|
|
model of Christian lowliness, obedience, and all graces. Having
|
|
settled in her heart still to go up higher and higher towards the
|
|
Temple of the Lord, she bound herself by a most difficult vow always
|
|
to do that which she should understand to be best. It was chiefly
|
|
through her labour that the holy Institute of the Visitation became
|
|
spread far and wide, and she stirred up the sisters to godliness and
|
|
love by her words, by her example, and by writings full of Divine
|
|
wisdom. She duly received the Sacraments before her death, and then,
|
|
at Moulins, departed hence, to be for ever with the Lord. St. Vincent
|
|
of Paul, who was far distant, in a vision beheld her soul borne to
|
|
heaven, and St. Francis de Sales coming to meet it. Her body was
|
|
afterwards taken to Annecy. She was famous for miracles both before
|
|
and after her death, and Pope Benedict XIV. enrolled her among the
|
|
Blessed, and Pope Clement XIII. among the Saints.
