DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

Feria III post Dominicam III Adventus - Lauds Benedictus

Bethlehem's prophecy (Micheas 5:2) returns for Week III Tuesday. The least city producing Israel's Ruler demonstrates divine reversal. This text dominates Christmas geography and Epiphany's Magi narrative.

LATINE
Tu Bethlehem terra Juda, non eris minima: ex te enim exiet Dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.
ENGLISH
Thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, shalt not be the least: for out of thee shall come a Ruler, that shall rule my people Israel.
