DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Nonam

Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis - Palm Sunday None

This antiphon at None for Palm Sunday draws from Lamentations 3:55-56: 'I will call upon thy name, O Lord; hide not thy face at my cry.' None commemorates the ninth hour when Christ died. The antiphon voices Christ's dying prayer, echoing Psalm 21's 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'

LATINE

Invocabo nomen tuum, Domine: ne avertas faciem tuam a clamore meo.

ENGLISH

I will call upon thy name, O Lord: hide not thy face at my cry.
