DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Nonam

Dominica I Passionis - Passion Sunday None

This antiphon at None for Passion Sunday draws from John 8:59: 'The Jews took up stones to cast at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.' None commemorates the ninth hour when Christ died. The attempted stoning prefigures the death that will come; Christ's escape indicates that His hour has not yet arrived.

LATINE

Tulerunt lapides Judaei ut jacerent in eum: Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.

ENGLISH

The Jews took up stones to cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
