benedictus
benedictus The first word in Latin (‘Blessed’) of the oracle attributed in Luke 1: 68 to Zechariah, who had been struck dumb for disbelieving the angel (Luke 1: 20). With his power of speech restored he at once gives thanks to God for the birth of his son John. The canticle has been incorporated into Church liturgies.
