Add September Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
All 9 of September's SanctiM-track saints authored -- the first full
month in this pass with nothing left unsourced. Includes the
Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel, whose SanctiM file borrows
structure from his separate May 8 Apparition file but still resolves
its actual readings back to this day's own Tridentine content.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Linus, Pope, Martyr (Sep 23,

# of Psalm 118 — the same excerpt already used, from a different

Linus Pontifex, Volaterris in Etruria natus, primus post Petrum gubernávit Ecclésiam.
Cujus tanta fides et sanctitas fuit, ut non solum dæmones ejiceret, sed étiam mórtuos
revocaret ad vitam. Scripsit res gestas beáti Petri, et ea maxime quæ ab illo acta sunt
contra Simónem magum. Sancívit ne qua mulier, nisi velato cápite, in ecclésiam
introíret. Huic Pontifici caput amputátum est ob constantiam fidei, jussu Saturnini
ímpii et ingratíssimi consularis, cujus filiam a dæmonum vexatióne liberaverat.
Sepultus est in Vaticano prope sepúlcrum Principis Apostolórum, nono Kalendas
Octobris. Sedit annos undecim, menses duos, dies viginti tres, creatis, bis mense
Decembri, epíscopis quindecim, presbyteris decem et octo.

Pope Linus was by birth a native of Velletri in Tuscany, and was the first after Peter
who governed the Church. His faith and holiness were such that he not only cast out
devils, but also raised the dead. He wrote the acts of Blessed Peter, and especially the
history of his strife with Simon Magus. He forbade women to enter the Church without
having a veil upon their heads. His own head was cut off, on account of his firmness in
confessing Christ, by command of the godless Consular Saturninus, an unthankful wretch
whose own daughter he had delivered from being tormented by a devil. He was buried upon
the Vatican Mount, hard by the grave of the Prince of the Apostles, upon the 23rd day of
September. He sat as Pope eleven years, two months, and twenty-three days. He held two
December ordinations, wherein he made fifteen Bishops, and eighteen Priests.

Príncipes persecúti sunt me gratis: et a verbis tuis trepidávit cor meum. Bene hoc
Martyr dicit, quod injúste persecutiónum torménta sustineat; qui nihil rapúerit, nullum
violentus oppresserit, nullius sánguinem fuderit, nullius torum putaverit esse
violándum; qui nihil légibus debeat, et gravióra latronum sustinere cogátur supplícia;
qui loquátur juste, et non audiátur; qui loquátur plena salútis, et impugnétur, ut
possit dicere: Cum loquébar illis, impugnábant me gratis. Gratis ígitur persecutiónem
pátitur, qui impugnátur sine crimine; impugnátur ut noxius cum sit in tali confessióne
laudábilis; impugnátur quasi veneficus, qui in nómine Dómini gloriátur, cum pietas
virtútum ómnium fundaméntum sit.
Vere frustra impugnátur, qui apud ímpios et infidos impietátis arcessitur, cum fidei
sit magister. Verum, qui gratis impugnátur, fortis debet esse et constans; quómodo
ergo subtexuit: Et a verbis tuis trepidávit cor meum? Trepidare infirmitátis est,
timoris atque formidinis. Sed est étiam infirmitas ad salútem, est étiam timor
sanctórum: Timéte Dóminum, omnes sancti ejus; et, Beátus vir, qui timet Dóminum. Qua
ratióne beatus? Quia in mandatis ejus cupit nimis.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
These are rightly the words of a martyr, who beareth unjustly the torments of the
persecutors, who hath robbed no man, who hath violently oppressed no man, who hath shed
the blood of no man, who hath imagined to defile the bed of no man, who is debtor to the
laws in nothing, and who is punished more grievously than if he were a robber; who
speaketh righteousness, and there is none that will hear; who speaketh salvation, and
all men fight against him; who is able to say: When I spoke unto them, they fought
against me without a cause. They fight against him without a cause, who can lay no sin
to his charge; they fight against him as an evildoer, who is by their own acknowledgement
righteous; they fight against him as a warlock, who glorieth in the name of the Lord, and
who doeth all things well because he doeth all things for God's sake.
They fight against him in vain who is accused of ungodliness among the ungodly and the
unfaithful, because he teacheth Faith. Verily, him that is fought against without a cause
it behoveth to be strong and patient. Wherefore then saith he: My heart standeth in awe
of thy word? Awe is the mark of the weak, the timid, and the fearful. But there is also
a weakness unto salvation, there is a fear which is an holy fear. O fear the Lord, all
ye His Saints. And again: Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord. And wherefore is he
blessed? Because he delighteth greatly in His commandments.
