DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona 1 ad Laudes

Dominica I Passionis - Passion Sunday Lauds

This first Lauds antiphon for Passion Sunday draws from Lamentations 1:9: 'Behold, O Lord, my affliction, because the enemy is lifted up.' The Book of Lamentations provides the scriptural voice for Christ's Passion. From Passion Sunday forward, crosses and images are veiled in violet, intensifying the penitential focus on Christ's approaching death.

LATINE
Vide, Domine, afflictionem meam, quoniam erectus est inimicus meus.
