Responsorium VIII - Nocturn III
Christmas Day, Nocturn III, Responsory 2
About This Prayer
The eighth responsory of Christmas Matins quotes the Johannine Prologue: 'The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.' This is the theological summit of Christmas: the Logos, through whom all things were made, becomes incarnate.
