XXXII. O successores (De confessioribus)
The Lamb's Shepherds Between Temple and Altar
An antiphon addresses the successors of the mighty lion, calling them to stand between temple and altar in the Lamb's ministry with angelic praise and pastoral care.
Antiphon: O successors of the most mighty lion, standing between temple and altar, ruling in his ministry, as angels resound in praises, and as they are present to the peoples in help — you are among those who do these things, always holding care in the office of the Lamb.
Read the original Latin
Antiphona: O successores fortissimi leonis inter templum et altare dominantes in ministratione eius, sicut angeli sonant in laudibus et sicut assunt populis in adiutorio, vos estis inter illos, qui hec faciunt semper curam habentes in officio agni.
