The Benedictus, or Canticle of Zechariah, is a prophetic hymn from Luke’s Gospel, chanted daily at Lauds.
In this deep dive, we unpack the Benedictus line by line, one of the longest and most theologically rich Latin Learning Guides we've produced. This canticle, spoken by Zechariah after regaining his voice, reveals a sweeping vision of salvation history: from Abraham’s covenant to the coming Messiah.
The Benedictus is not only a lyrical masterpiece but also a catechetical summary of God's mercy, covenant fidelity, and the dawning of redemption. Each Latin phrase is paired with memory hooks and etymological cues to help you or your children learn and reflect deeply.
We’ll explore the symbolic power of terms like "cornu salutis" (horn of salvation), "oriens ex alto" (the dawn from on high), and how Latin reveals the heart of Catholic theology. Whether you're praying the Divine Office or deepening your scriptural devotion, this episode offers clarity and context.
Help us restore sacred tradition and bring timeless prayers to new ears. Support our mission and gain access to our Latin learning guides, feast day resources, and audio devotionals.
