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. Chrysogonus, Martyr (Nov 24). No
# genuine SanctiM match: the correct Tridentine file is the suffixed
# `Sancti/11-24o.txt` (the plain `Sancti/11-24.txt` is St. John of the
# Cross instead), and the only SanctiM file for this date bases
# `@Sancti/11-24` (John of the Cross, not Chrysogonus) — 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/11-24o.txt, English/Sancti/11-24o.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account, no
# responsory given in the source.

Chrysógonus, Diocletiáno imperatóre, Romæ inclusus in carcere, ibi biennium sanctæ
Anastasiæ facultátibus vixit; quam etiam, afflictam propter Christum a viro suo
Publio, proptereáque a suis oratiónibus per litteras auxílium postulántem, mútuis
epistolis est consolatus. Sed, cum imperátor Romam scripsísset ut, reliquis
Christiánis qui in vinculis essent interfectis, Chrysógonus Aquilejam ad se
mitterétur, eo perductus est. Cui imperátor: Accersívi, inquit, te, Chrysógone, ut
honóribus augeam, si modo induxeris ánimum deos cólere. At ille: Ego eum, qui vere
est Deus, mente et oratióne véneror; deos autem, qui nihil sunt nisi dæmonum
simulacra, odi et éxsecror. Quo responso excandéscens imperátor, ad Aquas Gradatas
eum secúri pércuti jubet octavo Kalendas Decembris. Cujus corpus, projectum in mare,
paulo post in littore invéntum, Zóilus presbyter in suis ædibus sepelívit.

Chrysogonus was imprisoned at Rome in the reign of the Emperor Diocletian. There he
lived for the space of two years upon the alms of the holy Anastasia. She was
suffering much persecution from her husband Publius for Christ's Name's sake, and was
used to write to Chrysogonus to ask for the help of his prayers, and he in return
comforted her by his epistles. Presently the Emperor wrote to Rome commanding the
rest of the Christians who were in prison there to be put to death, and Chrysogonus to
be sent to himself at Aquileia. When he was brought thither, he said unto him: I have
sent for thee, O Chrysogonus, that I may increase thine honours, if only thou wilt
bring thy mind to worship the gods. Thereto Chrysogonus answered: With my mind and
with my prayers I worship Him Who is God indeed, but such gods as are nothing but
images of devils, them I hate and curse. Then was the Emperor kindled to fury at this
answer, and commanded Chrysogonus to be beheaded at Aquae Gradatae upon the 24th day
of November. His body was cast into the sea, but found a little while afterwards
washed up upon the shore, and the Priest Zoilus took it and buried it in his own
house.
