DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Magnificat

Feria II Hebdomadae Sanctae - Holy Monday Vespers Magnificat

This Magnificat antiphon for Holy Monday Vespers draws from John 19:11: 'Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above.' Christ's words to Pilate affirm divine sovereignty over the Passion. The antiphon presents Christ's death not as defeat but as the unfolding of the Father's plan.

LATINE
Non haberes in me potestatem, nisi desuper tibi datum fuisset.
ENGLISH
Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above.
