Solemn Monastic Profession - A Benedictine Nun

Описание: Benedictine Nuns of the Abbey of St. Walburga sing traditional Latin chants for the Rite of Solemn Monastic Profession/Consecration

Translation of texts:
And now I follow with all my heart: I fear you, and I seek to see your face: Lord, do not disappoint me: but treat me according to your kindness and the multitude of your mercies.
(Et nunc sequor in toto corde: te timeo, et quaero faciem tuam videre: Domine, ne confundas me: sed fac mihi juxta mansuetudinem tuam, et secundum multitudenim mesericordiae tuae.)

I am the handmaid of Christ, therefore I show myself in all humility.
(Ancilla Christi sum, ideo me ostendo servilem habere personam.)

I am espoused to him whom the angels serve; sun and moon stand in wonder at his beauty. With his ring my Lord Jesus Christ has betrothed me, and he has adorned me like a bride with a crown.
(Ipsi sum desponsata cui angeli serviunt; cujus pulchritudinem sol et luna mirantur. Anulo suo subarrhavit me Dominus meus Jesus Christus, et tamquam sponsam decoravit me corona.)

What I longed for, now I see; what I hoped for, I now possess: in heaven I am espoused to him whom on earth I loved with all my heart.
(Ecce quod concupivi, jam video; quod speravi, jam teneo: illi sum juncta in caelis, quem in terris posita tota devotione dilexi.)
