Wake The World With Dawning Joy

Pope Francis urged religious men and women to wake the world up in his letter to consecrated men and women. This song was composed by Steven C. Warner based on the words of Pope Francis in honor of the Year of Consecrated Life.

Here are the Benedictine Nuns of Jamberoo Abbey singing the song. Let’s wake the world with dawning joy!

The following two recordings from the Abbey Church feature two of St Hildegard’s antiphons in honour of the blessed Virgin Mary.

O Quam Preciosa (O How Precious…)

O Splendidissima Gemma (O Resplendent Jewel)
