DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona 3 ad Laudes

Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis - Palm Sunday Lauds

This third Lauds antiphon for Palm Sunday draws from Lamentations 3:59: 'Judge thou my cause; defend me, for thou art mighty, O Lord.' The antiphon invokes God as judge and defender. On Palm Sunday, as Christ enters Jerusalem for His trial, this prayer expresses confidence that God will vindicate His cause.

LATINE
Judica causam meam: defende, quia potens es, Domine.
