Antiphona ad Benedictus - Feria VI Q.T. Pentecostes

Feria VI Quatuor Temporum Pentecostes (Pentecost Ember Friday) - Lauds Benedictus

The Benedictus antiphon for Pentecost Ember Friday, recounting Christ's healing of the paralytic and declaration of power to forgive sins (Mark 2:10-11). The authority to forgive, given to the apostles at the Johannine Pentecost (John 20:23), is here connected with physical healing, demonstrating the comprehensive restoration wrought by the Spirit.

LATINE
Dixit Jesus: Ut sciatis autem quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, ait paralytico: Tibi dico, surge: tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam, alleluja.
ENGLISH
Jesus said: But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, he saith to the sick of the palsy, I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house, alleluia.
