DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Sextam

Dominica I Passionis - Passion Sunday Sext

This antiphon at Sext for Passion Sunday draws from John 8:51: 'Amen, amen I say to you: if any man keep my word, he shall not see death forever.' Sext commemorates the sixth hour when Christ was crucified. The antiphon's promise of eternal life through keeping Christ's word is fulfilled precisely through His death at this hour.

LATINE
Amen, amen, dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non gustabit in aeternum.
ENGLISH
Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.
