DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Tertiam

Dominica I Passionis - Passion Sunday Terce

This antiphon at Terce for Passion Sunday draws from John 8:50: 'I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth.' Terce commemorates the third hour when the Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost. During Passiontide, this hour is sanctified by Christ's humility in not seeking His own glory but the Father's.

LATINE

Ego gloriam meam non quaero: est qui quaerat, et judicet.
