VEXILLA CHRISTUS INCLYTA. - Hymn of Lauds for the feast of Christ the King, composed by Fr. Vittorio Genovesi, S.J., in 1925.

The reign of Christ does not resound with the clash of arms, but shines through the concord and harmony among its subjects; in it live peace and union, fidelity between spouses; youth grows up virtuous and homes are hearths of virtue.
