PDF:

Text & Translation – John 15:5 (from the wider Gospel passage, verses 1-15)
- Latin: Ego sum vitis vera et vos palmites, qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, alleluia alleluia.
- English: I am the true vine, and you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he it is who bears much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.

Musical Musings – Mode VIII
- This chant sounds remarkably similar to Episode 11’s Featured Chant, “Ego Sum Pastor Bonus”
- #chantnerdterm revisited: Episema – the dot after particular notes which allow you to lengthen them for emphasis
