Responsorium IV - Nocturn II
Third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete), Nocturn II, Responsory 1
About This Prayer
"Qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit" (He who is to come will come and will not delay) draws on Habacuc 2:3, quoted in Hebrews 10:37. The assurance that fear will depart when the Saviour arrives characterizes Gaudete Sunday's joy. The verse's invitation to take Christ's yoke and learn His meekness (Matt 11:29) connects Advent expectation to discipleship.
