Capitulum (ad Vesperas)

Tempus Passionis - Capitulum ad Vesperas in Feriis (Jer. 11:20)

This chapter at Vespers during Passiontide ferias draws from Jeremiah 11:20: 'But thou, O Lord of Sabaoth, who judgest justly and triest the reins and hearts, let me see thy revenge on them, for to thee I have revealed my cause.' Jeremiah's prayer amid persecution provides the voice for Christ facing His enemies. The chapter invokes God's just judgment against those who plot evil.
