About This Prayer

This antiphon at Terce for Palm Sunday continues Matthew 21:8-9: 'The Hebrew children spread their garments in the way and cried, saying: Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.' The messianic title 'Son of David' identifies Jesus as the promised King whose kingdom is established through the Passion.
