Antiphona ad Magnificat I Vesp. - Dominica in Albis

Dominica in Albis (Low Sunday) - I Vespers Magnificat

The First Vespers Magnificat antiphon for Low Sunday (Dominica in Albis), recounting Christ's appearance on Easter evening (John 20:19). The closed doors signify both the disciples' fear and Christ's glorified body's freedom from material constraints. His greeting 'Peace be to you' institutes the Church's characteristic salutation.

LATINE
Cum esset sero die illa una sabbatorum, et fores essent clausae, ubi erant discipuli congregati in unum, stetit Jesus in medio, et dixit eis: Pax vobis, alleluja.
ENGLISH
When it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you, alleluia.
