Composed by Thomas Buffer. Text: Missale Romanum. Introit Proper for Holy Thursday. Holy Thursday. Octavo. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.5220).

The text is taken from the Introit (Entrance Antiphon) for the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday: "We should glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our salvation, life and resurrection; through him we are saved and made free." The Renaissance-style counterpoint may be sung by either women or men. This motet dates from the composer's years at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, where it is still a part of the Schola's repertoire on their annual Lenten pilgrimage to the Station Churches of the Eternal City.
