DIVINUM OFFICIUM Responsory

Responsorium V - Nocturn II

Easter Sunday, Nocturn II, Responsory 2

About This Prayer

The second responsory of the second nocturn of Easter Matins (fifth overall). These responsories mediate between the patristic lessons and the faithful's appropriation of the Resurrection faith. The repetitive structure allows the theological content to penetrate through meditative recitation.
