DIVINUM OFFICIUM Responsory

Responsorium V - Nocturn II

Passion Sunday, Nocturn II, Responsory 2

This fifth responsory for Passion Sunday draws from Job 19:13-14: 'My brethren have departed far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have forsaken me.' The abandonment by friends, fulfilled in the disciples' flight during the Passion, is a central theme. The responsory invites meditation on Christ's isolation in suffering.

LATINE
R. Fratres mei elongaverunt se a me, et noti mei quasi alieni recesserunt a me: * Dereliquisti me, et non me cognoverunt.
V. De proximo, et de longinquo cognoverunt me.
R. Dereliquisti me, et non me cognoverunt.
