Jesus Crown More Exalted

IESU CORONA CELSIOR

Italian original Cite

Also known as: Jesu, Corona Celsior; Latin: Jesu Corona Celsior

IESU CORONA CELSIOR. - It is the hymn of Lauds in the Common of non-pontifical Confessors, composed by an unknown author of the 10th century.

It extols, in the Saint whose feast is being celebrated, the common virtues of contempt for the world, the flight from temptations, mastery over the flesh and the effort to attain eternal life. The beginning and the end are an invocation to Christ that, through the intercession of the Saint, he may forgive sins and grant eternal life.
