DIVINUM OFFICIUM Responsory

Responsorium Breve (Tempore Paschali)

From Easter Saturday to Friday of Pentecost Octave inclusive

The Compline responsory for Paschaltide, sung from Easter Saturday through the Friday of Pentecost Octave. The text 'Into Thy hands I commend my spirit' echoes Christ's final words on the Cross (Luke 23:46), transformed by the Alleluia into a confident prayer of one who sleeps in the hope of resurrection. The verse references God's redemption and protection under His wings.
