XXXVI. O beata infantia
O Blessed Childhood of Disibod
An antiphon praises the divinely inspired childhood of Disibod, whose holy works later poured forth like the sweet fragrance of balsam.
Antiphon: O blessed childhood of Disibod the chosen, so inspired by God that afterward your most holy works among the wonders of God poured out like the sweetest fragrance of balsam.
Read the original Latin
Antiphona: O beata infantia electi Disibodi, que a deo ita inspirata est, quod postea sanctissima opera in mirabilibus dei ut suavissimum odorem balsami exsudasti.
