DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

St. Anthony of Padua - Lauds Benedictus (Responsory Si quaeris)

An antiphon sung at Lauds during the liturgical year. Antiphons frame the psalms, giving them their proper liturgical meaning for the day.

LATINE
Si quaeris miracula, mors, error, calamitas, daemon, lepra fugiunt, aegri surgunt sani. Cedunt mare, vincula; membra resque perditas petunt et accipiunt juvenes et cani. Pereunt pericula, cessat et necessitas: narrent hi qui sentiunt, dicant Paduani.
ENGLISH
If thou seekest miracles, death, error, calamity, the demon, leprosy flee; the sick are made whole. The sea obeys, chains are broken; young and old ask back lost limbs and things: perils vanish, want is banished: let those who experience it tell, let the people of Padua say.
