The Rule of Saint Benedict

English, translated by Cardinal Francis Aidan Gasquet, translator — Cardinal Francis Aidan Gasquet, translator, 1925

From the holy feast of Easter until Whitsuntide Alleluia is to be always said both with the psalms and in the responsories. From Whitsuntide till the beginning of Lent let it be said every night at Matins only with the last six psalms. On every Sunday out of Lent let the Canticles, Lauds, Prime, Tierce, Sext and None be said with 4/eluia, but Evensong with antiphons. Responsories, however, except from Easter

till Pentecost, are never to be said with 4/eluia.
