Dominica Pentecostes - Lauds Benedictus

The Benedictus antiphon for Pentecost Sunday, proclaiming Christ's bestowal of the Holy Spirit and the power to forgive sins (John 20:22-23). This Johannine Pentecost, occurring on Easter evening, complements the Lucan narrative of Acts 2. The Alleluia marks the culmination of the Paschal season in the outpouring of the Spirit.
