DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona (Tempore Paschali)

Throughout Paschaltide, this antiphon replaces the usual psalm antiphon. Said before and after the psalms.

The threefold Alleluia antiphon sung at Compline throughout Paschaltide replaces the usual psalm antiphon. This simple yet profound acclamation, sung before and after the psalms, transforms the night prayer into a celebration of Christ's victory over death. The multiplication of Alleluias expresses the superabundant joy of the fifty days of Easter.

LATINE
