👉 Download my free Beginner's Guide to Gregorian Chant PDF: https://gregorianchantacademy.com/gca... July 11 is the second celebration of the feast of St Benedict. "Exsultet omnium" is the Antiphon for the Magnificat sung at 1st Vespers for this feast. It is one of two days that St. Benedict is celebrated on the Benedictine calendar. But since his first feast day always occurs during Lent (March 21), it is celebrated again on July 11 (connected with transfer of relics) to allow for the appropriate greater joy and festivity. In addition, Pope Paul VI declared St. Benedict the Patron of Europe at the rededication of the Church at Monte Cassino on July 11, 1964. May he who was "filled with the spirit of all the righteous" intercede for us and teach all to imitate his virtues as he imitated Christ, filling us with the same virtues, and restore the Church and western civilization once more. (Art work of original St Benedict painting with medals by Nicholas Joseph Lim) English translation of the Anthiphon and Magnificat below. English Translation: May the crowd of all the faithful rejoice for the glory of the blessed loving father. let the throngs of monks be glad, especially those who celebrate the fellowship of the saints and rejoice in the heavens. My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was it the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. #gregorianchant #sacredchants #monastery #monks
