Responsorium I - Nocturn I
Second Sunday of Lent, Nocturn I, Responsory 1
About This Prayer
This responsory for the Second Sunday of Lent draws from Genesis 27, where Isaac sends Esau to hunt and prepare food before receiving the blessing. The Lenten Matins readings during this week recount the patriarchal narratives. The responsory preserves the liturgical tradition of reading Genesis in Lent, connecting the Old Testament promises to the Church's preparation for the Paschal mystery.
