Christmas Hymn - Resonet in laudibus
#1

Resonet in Laudibus is a Latin Christmas Carol reflecting on the glory of the Nativity of Christ. Our Lord is born of Mary ever Virgin and, thus, the message of St. Gabriel comes to pass. The children of Israel are called on to rejoice for at last the Messiah has come. Here is the Child who shall be the Savior of mankind, here is the One who will purge all our crimes.

Resonet in Laudibus is a medieval hymn dating to at least the 13th century. Many variations of the song were developed, with some utilizing a single Stanza and others incorporating different Christmas hymns.

"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
