Chapter 15: When the Alleluia should be said

From the holy feast of Easter until Pentecost the Alleluia must always be said in the psalms and the responsories. From Pentecost until the beginning of Lent it is said only with the last six psalms in the night office. On every Sunday outside Lent, however, the Alleluia is included in Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext and None, but at Vespers an antiphon is intoned instead.

(From Ch. 15 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

Benedict suffuses the year, outside of Lent, with Alleluia. For me it is the prayer of mystical vision, of resurrection emerging from within each moment that God holds me in being.
