DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Magnificat (I Vespers)

Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis - Palm Sunday I Vespers Magnificat

This Magnificat antiphon for Palm Sunday First Vespers draws from John 17:25: 'O just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, because thou hast sent me.' The High Priestly Prayer (John 17) provides the antiphons for Palm Sunday, expressing Christ's intimate communion with the Father as He faces the Passion.

LATINE
Pater juste, mundus te non cognovit: ego autem novi te, quia tu me misisti.
ENGLISH
O just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, because thou hast sent me.
