DIVINUM OFFICIUM Responsory

Responsorium VII - Nocturn III

Third Sunday of Lent, Nocturn III, Responsory 1

This responsory for the Third Sunday of Lent draws from Luke 11:14-15: 'Jesus was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb; and when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke, and the multitudes were in admiration.' The Gospel of the Third Sunday depicts Christ's exorcism. The responsory emphasizes Christ's power over demons, a central theme in Lenten spiritual warfare.
