Responsorium V - Nocturn II
Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare), Nocturn II, Responsory 2
About This Prayer
This responsory for Laetare Sunday echoes the Introit of the day from Isaiah 66:10: 'Laetamini cum Jerusalem' - 'Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad with her, all you that love her.' Laetare Sunday, marked by rose vestments and suspended fasting disciplines, offers a foretaste of Easter joy. The responsory's invitation to rejoice sustains the faithful through the remaining weeks of Lent.
