One of the special traditions at St. Vincent Archabbey is the singing of the Benedictine Ultima each evening after compline and also after important monastic functions (such as the send off of a monk to his eternal reward with God after a life of perseverance in the monastery). Often times people ask us if they may have a copy of the hymn so that they may make it a part of their prayer life. Here is a copy of the Ultima in Latin, German, and English.February 14, 2008
