DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Sextam

Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis - Palm Sunday Sext

This antiphon at Sext for Palm Sunday draws from Jeremiah 11:20: 'To thee have I laid open my cause, O Lord my God, the defender of my life.' Sext commemorates the sixth hour of Christ's crucifixion. The antiphon expresses Christ's complete self-abandonment to the Father's judgment as He faces death.

LATINE
Tibi revelavi causam meam, defensor vitae meae, Domine, Deus meus.
ENGLISH
To thee I have laid open my cause, O Lord my God, the defender of my life.
