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.

Silvester, Auximi in Piceno nobili genere ortus, statim puerílem ætátem litteris ac
|
|
bonis móribus mirifice exornavit. Adoléscens, Bonóniam ad stúdia jurisprudéntiæ
|
|
missus a patre, cum sacris litteris, a Deo mónitus, dedísset operam, parentis
|
|
incurrit indignatiónem; quam æquo animo toto decennio pértulit. Ob egregiam ejus
|
|
virtútem a canonicis cathedralis Auximanæ ecclésiæ socius honoris eléctus est; in
|
|
quo munere pópulo oratiónibus, exemplo et conciónibus opem tulit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inter funus nobilis cujusdam defuncti, in aperto tumulo formosi viri suique
|
|
propinqui deforme cadáver conspíciens: Ego, inquit, sum, quod hic fuit; quod hic
|
|
est, ego ero. Et mox, peracto funere, illa sibi Dómini occurrénte senténtia: Qui
|
|
vult veníre post me, ábneget semetípsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequátur me; in
|
|
solitúdinem, majoris perfectiónis studio, secessit, ibique vigiliis, oratiónibus
|
|
jejuniisque deditus, crudas tantum herbas in cibum sæpius adhibuit. Ut autem magis
|
|
latéret hómines, varias mutavit sedes; ac demum pervenit ad montem Fanum, locum,
|
|
quamvis prope Fabrianum, eo tamen témpore desértum, ibique in honórem sanctíssimi
|
|
patris Benedicti templum eréxit, congregatiónisque Silvestrinórum fundaménta jecit,
|
|
sub regula et habitu in visióne sibi ab eodem Sancto osténsis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At ínvidens sátanas variis terróribus illíus monachos turbare nitebátur, noctu
|
|
monasterii jánuas hostíliter invadens. Sed vir Dei, hostis impetum ita repressit, ut
|
|
monachi in sancto instituto magis confirmaréntur ac patris sanctitátem
|
|
agnoscerent. Spíritu prophetíæ aliisque donis enituit. Quæ ut semper profúnda
|
|
humilitate conservavit, ita contra se dæmonis invidiam concitavit; a quo præceps
|
|
actus per scalas oratórii, et prope interimendus, præsentíssimo Vírginis benefício
|
|
incolumitáti redditus est. Quod benefícium perpetua et singulari in illam pietáte
|
|
commendavit ad ultimum usque vitæ spíritum, quem, fere nonagenarius, sanctitáte et
|
|
miraculis clarus, Deo réddidit anno salútis millesimo ducentésimo sexagesimo
|
|
séptimo, sexto Kalendas Decembris. Ejus Offícium ac Missam Leo décimus tertius
|
|
Pontifex maximus ad universam exténdit Ecclésiam.

This Silvester was born of a noble family at Osimo, in Picenum, and in his childhood
|
|
was a wonderful example both in regard to letters and good living. When he grew older
|
|
his father sent him to Bologna to study the law, but God warned him to give himself to
|
|
divinity, and he thereby incurred the wrath of his father, which he bore with
|
|
complacency for ten full years. On account of his eminent graces he was elected an
|
|
honorary canon of the Cathedral of Osimo, in the which dignity he ministered to the
|
|
people by his prayers, his example, and his sermons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the funeral of a certain nobleman he perceived in an open grave the disfigured
|
|
corpse of a kinsman of his own who had been very comely in his lifetime, and he said
|
|
to himself, I am what he was, and what he is I shall be. Straightway after the funeral
|
|
he read the words of the Lord, If any man will come after Me let him deny himself and
|
|
take up his cross and follow Me. Thereupon he withdrew into the desert to seek after
|
|
greater perfection, and then gave himself up to watching, praying, and fasting, very
|
|
often taking no food but uncooked herbs. In order, however, to cut himself off the
|
|
more from men, he moved from one place to another, and at length came to Mount Fano,
|
|
which is hard by Fabriano, but was itself then absolutely uninhabited. Then he built a
|
|
church in honour of the holy Father Benedict, and founded the congregation of
|
|
Silvestrians, with a rule and dress which were revealed to him in a vision by the holy
|
|
Patriarch himself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Satan envied him, strove to trouble his monks by diverse terrors, and made an hostile
|
|
attack by night upon the gates of his monastery, but the man of God so overcame the
|
|
assault of the enemy that his monks were the more confirmed in their Institute and
|
|
recognised the holiness of their father. He shone with the spirit of prophecy and
|
|
other gifts. These things he always preserved by the deepest lowliness, whereby he so
|
|
stirred up against him the ill-will of the devil that that evil spirit cast him
|
|
headlong down the stairs of his oratory, and went near to slay him, but he was
|
|
restored to soundness by the helpful gift of the Virgin. This help he remembered with
|
|
an unceasing and singular love toward her until the last breath of his life, the
|
|
which breath he resigned to God, famous for holiness and miracles, aged almost ninety
|
|
years, upon the 26th day of November, in the year of salvation 1267. The Supreme
|
|
Pontiff Leo XIII extended his Office and Mass to the whole Church.
