From the tome Daily Breviary Meditations: Meditations for Every Day on the Scriptural Lessons of the Roman Breviary, in accordance with the Encyclical "Divino Afflante," vol. 4, written by His Excellency the Most Rev. Joseph Angrisani, Bishop of Casale-Monferrato, and translated by Rev. Father Joseph A. McMullin of St. Charles Seminary at Philadelphia, PA (New York: Benziger Brothers, Inc., 1954), here are commentaries upon the lessons of occurring Scripture at Matins for November: at First Nocturn for the Offices of Sundays and Feasts of nine lessons which neither have proper First Nocturn lessons nor take them from the Common Offices.

Although these beautiful and edifying reflections were written for clerics, layfolk may gain exceeding great benefit therefrom, especially since the prayerful reading of these passages of Holy Writ may prepare the interior soul for the fruitful meditation upon great Eschatological Discourse of Our Lord that constitutes the Gospel Lesson for the last Sunday after Pentecost: to wit, the end of the ecclesiastical year.
