R. Cum sanctus Benedíctus / in cella consísteret, † elevátis
sursum óculis, vidit soróris suae ánimam de córpore eius egréssam, * In colúmbae
spécie caeli secréta penetráre.
V. Qui tantae eius glóriae congáudens omnipoténti deo grátias
rétulit eiúsque óbitum frátribus denuntiávit.
R. In colúmbae
spécie caeli secréta penetráre.

R. When St Benedict was standing in his cell, lifted his
eyes he saw the soul of his sister which was departed from her body * Ascend
into heaven in the likeness of a dove.
V. Rejoicing much to see her great glory, with hymns and
praise he gave thanks to almighty God, and imparted the news of her death to
his monks.
R. Ascend into heaven in the likeness of a dove.
