"Let us repair to the House of our Heavenly Father, for the Hour of Vespers is near; and on our way, let our thoughts be at Bethlehem, where Joseph and Mary are already arrived. The sun is rapidly setting; and our Divine Sun of Justice is still hid beneath the Cloud, the Womb of the purest of Virgins. Night is coming on; Joseph and Mary are going through the narrow streets of the City of David, seeking a shelter. Let our hearts be attentive, and united, in love, with the two holy Pilgrims. Every heart and voice should now be giving forth to our God the tribute of praise and grateful love. Oh! happy we, that have a tribute of Song and Psalmody ready for our use, worthy of the Day and of its ineffable Mystery - it is our Mother that offers us her Liturgy. Let us prepare to join her."
Dedication
Offered as a gift to our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, and dedicated to the memory of Dom Prosper Guéranger, Abbot of Solesmes, and Dom Laurence Shepherd, who faithfully translated his L'Année Liturgique for the benefit of the English-speaking world."Gregorian Chant...was developed to a new sublimity and purity, which set a permanent standard for sacred music, music for the liturgy of the Church."
