Latin:

Cum vox sanguinis Ursulae et innocentis turbae eius ante thronum dei sonuit, antiqua prophetia venit per radicem Mambre in vera ostensione trinitatis et dixit:

Iste sanguis nos tangit, nunc omnes gaudeamus.

Et postea venit congregatio agni, per arietem in spinis pendentem, et dixit:

Laus sit in Ierusalem per ruborem huius sanguinis.

Deinde venit sacrificium vituli quod vetus lex ostendebat, sacrificium laudis circumamicta varietate, et que faciem dei Moysi obnubilabat, dorsum illi ostendens.

Hoc sunt sacerdotes qui per linguas suas deum ostendunt et perfecte eum videre non possunt, et dixerunt:

O nobilissima turba, virgo ista que in terris Ursula vocatur in summis Columba nominatur, quia innocentem turbam ad se collegit.

O Ecclesia, tu es laudabilis in ista turba:

Turba magna, quam incombustus rubus quem Moyses viderat significat, et quam deus in prima radice plantaverat in homine quem de limo formaverat, ut sine commixtione viri viveret, cum clarissima voce clamavit in purissimo auro, thopazio, et saphiro circumamicta in auro.

Nunc gaudeant omnes celi, et omnes populi cum illis ornentur. Amen.

English:

When the voice of Ursula’s blood, and of the blood of her innocent host, sounded before God’s throne, an ancient prophecy passed
through the root of Mamre and spoke in the revealed truth of the Trinity:

“This blood touches us; let us all now rejoice!”

And afterwards the congregation of the Lamb came, through the ram caught in the thorns, and said:

“Let there be praise in Jerusalem for the redness of this blood.”

Then came that sacrifice of the calf which the old law indicated,
a sacrifice of praise, praise clothed in many colors, praise that hid God’s face from Moses, showing him only God’s back.

This stands for priests who disclose God with their mouths and cannot see him in full. And they said:

“O noblest host: that Virgin called Ursula on earth is named Columba [Dove] in heaven, because she gathered around her a host of innocents.”

O Ecclesia: you are worthy of praise in that host.

That great host which is signified by the unconsumed bush Moses saw, and which God planted in the first root in the human being he made of earth, so that it might have life without any mixture with man: that host called out in a radiant voice in purest gold, topaz, sapphire, all set in gold.

Now let all the heavens rejoice, and let all peoples be honored with them. Amen.

If you listen to medieval chants (and even folk music), look at the medieval cathedrals (and even the simple churches and chapels), read about Thomas Aquinas, Hildegard Von Bingen, read about the orders of the monks, see the adorned bibles, anything pertaining to medieval culture - you notice that those people who call it "Dark Ages" are a bunch of idiots.

Saint Hildegard was an amazing and woman!

Ora pro nobis!

[TomisHarena]

You light up a candle and the flame wavers and flutters in its gentle luminous vibration towards God... Such is this chant.
Requiem aeternam Hildegard !

Et nemo ascendit in caelum, nisi qui descendit de caelo, Filius hominis, qui est in caelo.
