February 1 - Forefeast of the Meeting in the Temple580

A psalm consoles the sad, restrains the joyful, tempers the angry,

refreshes the poor and chides the rich man to know himself.

To absolutely all who take it, the psalm offers an

appropriate medicine; nor does it despise the

sinner, but presses upon him the

wholesome remedy of

penitential tears.

February 6 - St. Bucolus 599

One who jubilates [iubilat] does not speak words, but it is rather a sort of sound of joy

without words, since it is the voice of a soul poured out in joy and expressing, as best

it can, the feeling, though not grasping the sense. A man delighting in his joy, from

some words which cannot be spoken or understood, bursts forth in a certain voice

of exultation without words, so that it seems he does indeed rejoice with his own

voice, but as if, because filled with too much joy, he cannot explain in words whatit is in which he delights. You observe this even in those who sing improperly.

Now our jubilation will not be such as theirs, for we ought to jubilate in jus-

tification, while they jubilate in iniquity; we, then, in confession, they in

confusion. Yet that you might understand what I say, call to mind what

you well know, that it is especially those who perform some task in the

fields who jubilate. Mowers and vintagers and those who gather other

products, happy in the abundance of harvest and gladdened by the

very richness and fecundity of the earth, sing in joy. And between

the songs which they express in words, they insert certain

sounds without words in the elevation of an

exultant spirit, and this is

called jubilation.

We must think of what we sing

rather than allow our mind, seized by extraneous thoughts

as is often the case, to lose the fruit of our labor. One must sing with a manner

and melody befitting holy religion; it must not proclaim theatrical

distress but rather exhibit Christian simplicity in its very

musical movement; it must not remind one of

anything theatrical, but rather create

compunction in the listeners.

The virtue of silence, especially in church, is very great. . .

Is anything more unbecoming than the divine words should be

so drowned by talking, as not to be heard, believed, or made known,

that the sacraments should be indistinctly heard through the sound of
