Responsorium VI - Nocturn II
First Sunday of Advent, Nocturn II, Responsory 3
About This Prayer
"Audite verbum Domini, gentes" (Hear the word of the Lord, O nations) commissions universal proclamation of salvation (Jeremias 31:10). The mission extends to the distant islands (insulae): "Our Saviour will come." The verse's imperative chain ("announce, make heard, speak, cry out") models apostolic preaching, transforming Advent hearers into Advent heralds.
