Te Splendor Et Virtus Patris

Italian original Cite

"TE SPLENDOR ET VIRTUS PATRIS." - Hymn of Vespers and Matins for the feast of St. Michael the Archangel, by an unknown author, but certainly inspired by the Tibi Christe splendor Patris of Rabanus Maurus.

It is an ode to Christ, the splendor and glory of the Father, surrounded by myriads of angels headed by St. Michael, who conquered the enemy and confined him in hell together with the other rebel angels. May he now spur us on and sustain us so as to obtain the prize of victory.
