DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus - Feria IV Q.T. Pentecostes

Feria IV Quatuor Temporum Pentecostes (Pentecost Ember Wednesday) - Lauds Benedictus

The Benedictus antiphon for Pentecost Ember Wednesday, presenting Christ as the Living Bread from heaven (John 6:51). This Eucharistic text connects the Bread of Life discourse with Pentecost, when the Spirit transforms bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. The double Alleluia heightens the Eucharistic celebration.

LATINE
Ego sum panis vivus, dicit Dominus, qui de caelo descendi, alleluja, alleluja.
ENGLISH
I am the living bread, saith the Lord, which came down from heaven, alleluia, alleluia.
