DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

December 17 - Lauds Benedictus Antiphon

The Benedictus antiphon for December 17 repeats the Isaian composite text, emphasizing its importance. At Lauds, this antiphon frames Zacharias's canticle celebrating the Dayspring (Oriens) visiting from on high. The Jesse imagery connecting David's line to universal salvation prepares for O Sapientia's evening celebration.

LATINE
Egredietur virga de radice Jesse, et replebitur omnis terra gloria Domini: et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
ENGLISH
There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
