DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

Tuesday of Rogation Days

The Benedictus antiphon for Rogation Tuesday, affirming the necessity of Christ's suffering and resurrection. This kerygmatic formula (Luke 24:46) connects the Paschal mystery with the approaching Ascension. The Rogation Days' penitential character is tempered by Paschal joy, as proclaimed by the Alleluia.

LATINE
Oportebat pati Christum, et resurgere a mortuis, alleluia.
