Sanctus Benedictus plus appetiit - St Benedict March 21 no 2

R. Sanctus Benedíctus / plus appétiit mala mundi pérpeti quam laudes; † pro Deo labóribus fatigári, * Quam vitae huius favóribus extólli.
V. Divína namque praevéntus grátia magis ac magis ad supérna ánimo suspirábat.
R. Quam vitae huius favóribus extólli. 
R. St Benedict desiring rather the miseries of the world than the praises of men: rather to be wearied with labor for God's sake * than to be exalted with transitory commendation.
V. For filled greatly with divine grace, his soul aspired to even higher things.
R. Than to be exalted with transitory commendation.
