DIVINUM OFFICIUM Responsory

Responsorium I - Nocturn I

Second Sunday of Advent, Nocturn I, Responsory 1

"Jerusalem, cito veniet salus tua" (Jerusalem, thy salvation shall come swiftly) addresses the Holy City personified. The responsory draws on prophetic consolation literature, answering Jerusalem's sorrow with divine promise. The verse's assurance "I will save thee and deliver thee, fear not" transforms Advent from mere waiting into confident trust. The nocturn placement after Scripture reading allows meditation on salvation's nearness.
