DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at Sext in Advent.

"Memento nostri, Domine" (Remember us, O Lord) from Psalm 105:4 voices the Church's plea at midday. The response "Visit us with thy salvation" encapsulates Advent's core petition. This versicle's use at both Sext and None during Advent unifies the day's prayer around the theme of divine visitation (visitatio), a technical term for God's intervention in human history.

LATINE
V. Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui. R. Visita nos in salutari tuo.
ENGLISH
V. Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people. R. Visit us with thy salvation.
