DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

Feria V post Dominicam I Adventus - Lauds Benedictus

Elizabeth's greeting "Benedicta tu in mulieribus" (Blessed art thou among women) from Luke 1:42 brings the Visitation to Thursday Lauds. The blessing extends to Mary's womb's fruit. This antiphon became part of the Hail Mary prayer.

LATINE
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui.
ENGLISH
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
