Antiphona ad Magnificat

Feria II post Dominicam II Adventus - Vespers Magnificat

"Ecce veniet Rex Dominus terrae" (Behold the King, Lord of the earth, will come) presents Christ removing the yoke of captivity. The liberation theme suits Magnificat's revolutionary canticle. Monday Vespers anticipates the week's royal Christology.

LATINE
Ecce veniet Rex Dominus terrae, et ipse auferet jugum captivitatis nostrae.
ENGLISH
Behold the King cometh, the Lord of all the earth, to take off from us the yoke of our captivity.
