DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

Dominica I Passionis - Passion Sunday Lauds Benedictus

This Benedictus antiphon for Passion Sunday draws from John 8:47, the Gospel of the day: 'Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews and to the chief priests: He that is of God heareth the words of God; therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.' The antiphon marks the decisive break between Christ and those who reject Him.

LATINE

Dicebat Jesus turbis Judaeorum, et principibus sacerdotum: Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit: propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.

ENGLISH

Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews and to the chief priests: He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
