DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at Sext in Paschaltide.

The versicle at Sext during Paschaltide: 'The disciples were glad when they saw the Lord' (John 20:20). At the sixth hour, when Christ was lifted on the Cross, this versicle transforms the hour of crucifixion into the joy of resurrection appearances. The Alleluia marks the permanent victory won at Calvary.

LATINE
V. Gavisi sunt discipuli. Alleluia. R. Viso Domino. Alleluia.
