DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona 3 ad Laudes

Advent IV - Lauds Antiphon 3

"Erunt prava in directa" (The crooked shall become straight) repeats the Baptist's road-preparation imagery. The insistent "Veni, Domine, et noli tardare" voices the Church's impatience as Christmas approaches. Advent IV's brevity intensifies longing.

LATINE
Erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas: veni, Domine, et noli tardare, alleluja.
ENGLISH
The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough smooth: come O Lord, and delay not, alleluia.
