DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Magnificat (II Vespers)

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

About This Prayer

This Magnificat antiphon for Palm Sunday Second Vespers draws from Matthew 26:31-32: 'For it is written: I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed; but after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.' The antiphon anticipates the Passion's scattering of the disciples while also promising the Resurrection reunion in Galilee.
