'Time after Christmas (Flavigny)'

Description 'Time after Christmas (Flavigny)'

On this live recording of the choir of monks, discover the liturgical riches of the time which follows Christmas:
Behold the sovereign Lord comes; He holds the royalty in His hand, the power and the empire (Introit); All will come from Saba, while bringing gold and incense and proclaiming the praises of the Lord; arise, Jerusalem! be enlightened, because the glory of the Lord has risen upon you (Gradual); we saw his star in the East and have come with gifts to adore the Lord (Alleluia); Begotten before the dawn and before all ages, the Lord, our Saviour appeared today in the world
(Antiphons of Vespers). After the final notes of the organ, the calm of night returns, it is the hour of Compline; the reader recalls to the monks that their continuous struggle goes on: Brethren, be sober and vigilant because your adversary the devil, roams about like a lion, seeking whom he may devour; resist him, steadfast in your faith (1 Petr. 5). To Mary will be offered the ultimate praise of the day, Alma Redemptoris MATER.
