Chapter 14: The celebration of Vigils on feasts of saints

On the feasts of saints and on all other solemnities Vigils should follow the order laid down for the celebration of Sunday except that the psalms, antiphons and readings that are appropriate to the day should be recited; the order of the liturgy itself remains the same as that described for Sunday. (Ch. 14 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

The old phrase "communion of saints" has come to take on much more meaning in my own life through the practice of meditation. Attention beyond myself makes creation look new, and inspires connection, belonging and hope. For me, this creates a living communion of saints, that expands together in the present moment.
