Responsory "Vivens in mundo labili" for the feast of Saint Clare

[Translation by Susan Boynton]

Vivens in mundo labili
sponso coniuncta nobili
sursum deliciatur clausoque
carne fragili
tanquam in vase fictili
Thesauro gloriatur
Sit in rota versatuli fulta virtute
stabili cum Christo delectatur.
Living in a fleeting world,
Having been married to a noble husband,
She delights from on high
and with her fragile flesh closed
in an earthen vessel,
she glories in the treasure.
Let her be placed on a moveable wheel;
supported by stable virtue she delights with Christ.
