Responsorium II - Nocturn I
First Sunday of Lent, Nocturn I, Responsory 2
About This Prayer
This second responsory for the First Sunday of Lent continues the theme of 2 Corinthians 6:4-6, presenting the marks of authentic ministry: patience, fasting, vigils, and unfeigned charity. The repetition of 'tempus acceptabile' reinforces the urgency of Lenten conversion. The responsory form, with its verse and repeated respond, allows the monastic choir to meditate deeply on the Scripture.
