Text of the page (random words):
issal 11 march 1738 why then were the prefaces of advent the dedication all saints and even st denis not taken from the ancient sacramentaries why commission the composition of entirely new ones from doctors of the sorbonne whose style so prolix so bloated is so far from the refined cadences of st leo and st gelasius laurent françois boursier 1679 1749 why above all was a heretic like dr laurent françois boursier expelled from the sorbonne in 1720 for having written against the council of embrun 1 given the honour of composing such sacred prayers to this man the church of paris owes the preface of all saints also sung on patronal feasts in this preface boursier tells god that by crowning the merits of the saints he crowns his own gifts eorum coronando merita coronas dona tua a very catholic expression in one sense and a very jansenist one in another a s a liturgical historian we would be remiss if we did not mention that boursier died on 17 february 1749 in the parish of saint nicolas du chardonnet without having retracted his appeal 2 the curé of this parish although an opponent of the appeal nevertheless administered the sacraments to boursier and the archbishop of beaumont therefore exiled him to senlis for his act of schism and yet boursier s preface continued and continues to be sung dom prosper guéranger institutions liturgiques vol 2 p 371 notes 1 a controversial council held in 1727 that deposed the lord jean soanen bishop of séez one of the major baculous opponents of the papal bull unigenitus which condemned jansenist propositions 2 the appeal

minutes a sequence for trinity and a franciscan musical treasury in 1902 the french provinces of the order of friars minor undertook the publication of a richly variegated collection of chants gathered from manuscripts of their order under the title cantus varii in usu apud nostrates ab origine ordinis aliaque carmina in decursu sæculorum pie usu parta that is various chants in use among our community from the origin of the order and other songs in use piously composed in the course of the centuries the prolix title is certainly accurate and the pieces included range from medieval sequences and hymns to later latin songs that are not strictly speaking gregorian chants unfortunately no information is included about the sources whence each piece was taken click here to download a pdf of the book among the chants in honour of the holy trinity the volume includes a sequence attributed to adam of st victor the prolific 12th century composer of liturgical poetry it is found in several dominican and franciscan manuscripts as well as in the books of a number of french dioceses it also made its way into the books of the archdiocese of york and was included in the first printed

through the son who is the word of god not only the heavens but yea all things have been created from nothing and lest they descend once more into nothingness they have been established by the same word and all their power has been supplied by the spirit of his mouth those angels are also called heavens who when the others fell were established in charity through the word and abundantly furnished in every virtue through his spirit hence it is written god s spirit hath made the heavens fair 2 because he embellished these heavens with stars and the angels with virtues the creation of heaven and earth monreale cathedral verily the angelic spirits are created through the son but given life through the holy spirit 3 the substance of light began to glisten through the son but its splendor shone forth through the holy spirit 4 the firmament is fashioned by the son but it turns in swift circular motion through the holy spirit the sun moon and stars are set to preside over times through the son but the finishing touch is set through the holy spirit with the lustre of light the rivers are poured out through the son their streaming course is assigned by the holy spirit the earth is formed through the son it is strewn with fruits and flowers through the holy spirit the v the creation of birds and fishes monreale cathedral arious kinds of animals are brought forth through the son they are imbued with the breath of life through the holy spirit and through him the birds are sustained in flight the fish in swimming and reptiles and serpents in their slithering man is made in god s image through the son but his soul is brought to life through the holy spirit the holy spirit inspires divers talents and also bestows the divers crafts divers kinds of tongue 5 are given by the holy spirit and through him the manifold rivers of the scriptures are brought out of the hidden treasuries of wisdom 6 through the holy spirit the patriarchs pointed out in figures the events that were to happen concerning christ and the church through the same spirit the prophets spake foretelling these same events through the scriptures through the same spirit the apostles were confirmed and they spread the word that these events had come to pass in the world through the same spirit the doctors were inspired and explained the scriptures man was redeemed from death through the son through the holy spirit he was regenerated in baptism unto life 7 sins are remitted through the holy spirit and through him souls are raised to life from the death of transgressions through the holy spirit many abandoned the world and embraced the religious life through him many shone with signs and miracles through the holy spirit even today many are converted into the better life through him many are rapt into heaven in ecstasy the creation of adam monreale cathedral through the son the dead are brought back to life through the holy spirit they are changed to everlasting life the world is judged through the sun through the holy spirit both sides are given their just deserts through the son god the father shall create a new heaven and a new earth but through the holy spirit he shall transform all things into a new and better state heaven forsooth shall be clothed with the sun s splendor through him through him the sun shall be clad with seven fold light through him the moon shall gleam with the sun s brightness through him the earth shall come into bloom as lovely as paradise then the son shall lead them out from the toil of earthly life and make them to sit down whilst he shall come by to minister to them for upon his return from the judgement he shall make his elect rest in divers mansions according to their divers merits 8 and show them the glory of his divinity face to face the holy spirit withal shall make them shine forth in full joy radiant like the sun with perfect knowledge of the triune unity the descent of the holy spirit at pentecost monreale cathedral we celebrate this feast for seven days since we venerate the holy spirit in his seven gifts as foretold by the prophet the spirit of wisdom and of understanding the spirit of counsel and of fortitude the spirit of knowledge and of godliness the spirit of the fear of the lord 9 these are the seven women who took hold of one man 10 since the seven gifts of the holy spirit laid hold of christ s body 11 all who fear god scale the heavens by the gift of this spirit indeed through him they are granted fear which is of two kinds for there is servile fear and filial fear a servant by troth fears his lord lest he condemn him a son fears his father lest he disinherit him an adulterous woman fears lest her husband come a chaste wife fears lest he depart when the holy spirit who is charity shall have laid hold of the soul he shall cast out servile fear 12 but the fear of the lord endureth for ever and ever 13 for then he shall not fear hell as a servant since he shall seek to commit no sin but as a son rather he shall cling to god through love of virtue and so lay hold of his inheritance let us obtain his grace by praying that we might dread the lord our god as servants by avoiding evil lest he inflict punishment on us for contemning his commandments nay more lest he punish us with everlasting torments as enemies rebelling against him let us beg that we might fear him as sons do a good father by so acting that we might become co heirs with his son in the enjoyment of the father s face after the fear of god the holy spirit gives piety in order that man might serve his maker with devotion and to do for his neighbor what good acts are in his power then he inspires knowledge so that man may know what he must do and what he must avoid after knowledge he gives fortitude so that man may not be turned to vice by difficulties or pleasures then he supplies reason with the gift of counsel that he may choose what is expedient and spurn what is harmful then he offers the gift of
