13 of December's 15 SanctiM-track saints authored (st-bibiana, st-nicholas, st-ambrose, immaculate-conception, st-damasus, st-lucy, st-thomas-apostle, st-stephen-protomartyr, st-john-apostle, holy-innocents, st-thomas-becket, st-silvester-i, st-eusebius-of-vercelli); st-barbara and st-melchiades left unauthored as Common-only. This is the twelfth and final month of the SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints' Matins readings pass — 129 saints authored across the whole year. Adding St. Eusebius of Vercelli's content surfaces a 3rd Matins lesson on the existing Advent III Tuesday proof date (Dec 15 falls under his commemoration); updated matins.test.ts accordingly — the "commemorations get their own reading" design working as intended, not a regression.

Ambrósius epíscopus Mediolanénsis, Ambrósii civis Románi fílius, patre Gálliæ
|
|
præfécto natus est. In hujus infántis ore exámen apum consedísse dícitur: quæ res
|
|
divínam viri eloquéntiam præmonstrábat. Romæ liberálibus disciplínis erudítus est.
|
|
Post a Probo præfécto Ligúriæ et Æmíliæ præpósitus: unde póstea, ejúsdem Probi jussu,
|
|
cum potestáte Mediolánum venit; ubi, mórtuo Auxéntio Ariáno epíscopo, pópulus de
|
|
successóre deligéndo dissidébat. Quare Ambrósius, pro offícii sui múnere ecclésiam
|
|
ingréssus, ut commótam seditiónem sedáret, cum multa de quiéte et tranquillitáte
|
|
reipúblicæ præcláre dixísset, derepénte púero Ambrósium epíscopum exclamánte,
|
|
univérsi pópuli vox erúpit, Ambrósium epíscopum deposcéntis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recusánte illo et eórum précibus resisténte, ardens pópuli stúdium ad Valentiniánum
|
|
imperatórem delátum est; cui gratíssimum fuit, a se deléctos júdices ad sacerdótium
|
|
postulári. Fuit id étiam Probo præfécto jucúndum, qui Ambrósio proficiscénti quasi
|
|
divínans díxerat: Vade, age, non ut judex, sed ut epíscopus. Itaque cum ad pópuli
|
|
desidérium imperatóris volúntas accéderet, Ambrósius baptizátus (erat enim
|
|
catechúmenus) sacrísque initiátus, ac servátis ómnibus ex institúto Ecclésiæ órdinum
|
|
grádibus, octávo die, qui fuit séptimo Idus Decémbris, episcopále onus suscépit.
|
|
Factus epíscopus, cathólicam fidem et disciplínam ecclesiásticam acérrime deféndit;
|
|
multósque Ariános, et álios hæréticos ad fídei veritátem convértit, in quibus
|
|
claríssimum Ecclésiæ lumen sanctum Augustínum Jesu Christo péperit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gratiáno imperatóre occíso, ad Máximum ejus interfectórem legátus íterum proféctus
|
|
est; eóque pœniténtiam ágere recusánte, se ab ejus communióne semóvit. Theodósium
|
|
imperatórem, propter cædem Thessalonícæ factam, ingréssu ecclésiæ prohíbuit. Cui, cum
|
|
ille David quoque regem adúlterum et homicídam fuísse dixísset, respóndit Ambrósius:
|
|
Qui secútus es errántem, séquere pœniténtem. Quare Theodósius sibi ab eo impósitam
|
|
públicam pœniténtiam humíliter egit. Ergo sanctus epíscopus pro Ecclésia Dei máximis
|
|
labóribus curísque perfúnctus, multis libris étiam egrégie conscrípsit, ántequam in
|
|
morbum incíderet, mortis suæ diem prædíxit. Ad quem ægrótum Honorátus Vercellénsis
|
|
epíscopus, Dei voce ter admónitus, accúrrit, eíque sanctum Dómini corpus prǽbuit: quo
|
|
ille sumpto, conformátis in crucis similitúdinem mánibus, orans, ánimam Deo réddidit
|
|
prídie Nonas Aprílis, anno post Christum natum trecentésimo nonagésimo séptimo.

Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, was the son of another Ambrose, a Roman citizen, and was
|
|
born when his father was Prefect of Gaul. A swarm of bees settled upon his face when
|
|
he was in his cradle, which was considered an omen of his future eloquence. He
|
|
received a liberal education at Rome. He was afterwards, under the Prefect Probus,
|
|
made governor of Liguria and Emilia, and so came with authority to Milan. Auxentius, an
|
|
Arian, who had been intruded into the Bishopric of Milan, happening to die, the most
|
|
violent disputes arose about the choice of a successor. Ambrose came to the church in
|
|
his official capacity, and urged upon the contending factions, in a long and powerful
|
|
speech, the necessity of keeping the public peace; whereupon a child suddenly cried
|
|
out, Ambrose, Bishop, and the whole assembly took it up, and unanimously called for his
|
|
election.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ambrose refused, and would not yield to their prayers, whereupon they carried their
|
|
petition to the Emperor Valentinian. It was very pleasing to this Prince that those he
|
|
had appointed as judges should be chosen Bishops, as also to the Prefect Probus, who
|
|
had, as it were prophetically, said to him when he appointed him, Go and govern them
|
|
more like a Bishop than a Judge. When the will of the Emperor was added to the desire
|
|
of the people, Ambrose yielded, and received Baptism, (for hitherto he was only a
|
|
Catechumen,) Confirmation, and Communion, and then the several Orders on successive
|
|
days, till on the eighth day, which was the 7th of December, the weight of the
|
|
Episcopate was laid upon his shoulders. Being made Bishop, he showed himself a stout
|
|
upholder of the Catholic faith, and the discipline of the Church, and turned to the
|
|
truth great numbers of Arians and other heretics, and, among them, he begat in Christ
|
|
Jesus that burning and shining light of the Church, Augustine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the murder of the Emperor Gratian, Ambrose was sent as an ambassador to Maximus,
|
|
by whom he had been slain, and, as he refused to repent, the Bishop renounced his
|
|
communion. After the massacre which the Emperor Theodosius had commanded at
|
|
Thessalonica, he refused to permit that Prince to enter a church. The Emperor pleaded
|
|
that he was no worse than David, who had been guilty of adultery and murder, to which
|
|
Ambrose answered him, As thou hast followed him in his sin, follow him also in his
|
|
repentance. Then Theodosius humbly did public penance laid upon him by the Bishop. At
|
|
length the Saint was worn out with his continual labour and care for the Church, (for
|
|
the which also he composed many excellent books,) and foretold that the day of his
|
|
death was at hand, though he had not then fallen into his last sickness. As he lay
|
|
dying, Honoratus, Bishop of Vercelli, heard a voice from God three times crying to him
|
|
that the hour of Ambrose's departure was come, whereupon he went to him quickly, and
|
|
gave him the sacred Body of our Lord. When he had received It, the Saint, still
|
|
praying, with his hands stretched out in the form of a cross, gave his spirit to God,
|
|
upon the 4th day of April, in the year of Christ, 397.
