Pater sanctus dum intentam - St Benedict March 21 no 8

R. Pater sanctus / dum inténtam oculórum áciem in splendóre corúscae lucis habére viderétur, † vidit Germáni ánimam Capuáni epíscopi * In sphaera ígnea ab angelis in caelum deférri.
V. Factúmque est, ut reverendíssimum virum Germánum epíscopum is qui missus fúerat, iam defúnctum réperit.
R. In sphaera ígnea ab angelis in caelum deférri.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. In sphaera ígnea ab angelis in caelum deférri.
R. While the venerable father stood attentively beholding the brightness of that glittering light, he saw the soul of Germanus, Bishop of Capua,* Carried up by Angels into heaven in a fiery globe.
V. It was discovered that the reverent man Germanus had departed this life at that very instant.
R. Carried up by Angels into heaven in a fiery globe.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Carried up by Angels into heaven in a fiery globe.
