XXXVII. O felix apparicio (De sancto Ruperto)
The Flame of Love in Rupert
The antiphon celebrates Rupert's holy manifestation, in which divine love burned in his heart and his recognition flourished among the heavenly citizens.
Antiphon: O happy manifestation, when in Rupert, the friend of God, the flame of life shone brightly, so that the love of God flowed in his heart, embracing the fear of the Lord. Therefore his recognition also flourished among the citizens of heaven.
Read the original Latin
Antiphona: O felix apparicio, cum in amico dei Ruperto flamma vite choruscavit, ita quod caritas dei in corde eius fluxit timorem domini amplectens. Unde etiam agnitio eius in supernis civibus floruit.
