DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis - Palm Sunday Lauds Benedictus

This Benedictus antiphon for Palm Sunday draws from John 12:12-13: 'The multitudes that had come for the feast cried out to the Lord: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.' The Gospel of the triumphal entry provides this climactic antiphon. The crowds' acclamation becomes the Church's liturgical praise.

LATINE
Turba multa, quae convenerat ad diem festum, clamabat Domino: Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini: Hosanna in excelsis.
ENGLISH
