DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus - Feria IV Paschae

Feria IV infra Octavam Paschae (Easter Wednesday) - Lauds Benedictus

The Benedictus antiphon for Easter Wednesday, recounting the miraculous catch of fish (John 21:6). Christ's command to cast the net on the right side resulted in 153 fish, traditionally interpreted as representing the universal Church drawn from all nations. The fishers become fishers of men through the power of the Risen Lord.

LATINE
Mittite in dexteram navigii rete, et invenietis, alleluja.
ENGLISH
Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find, alleluia.
