Responsorium VII - Nocturn III
Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare), Nocturn III, Responsory 1
About This Prayer
This responsory for Laetare Sunday recounts the multiplication of loaves: 'Jesus went over the sea of Galilee; and a great multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did' (John 6:1-2). The Gospel of Laetare Sunday presents Christ feeding the five thousand, prefiguring the Eucharist. The responsory connects bodily nourishment to the spiritual food of the sacraments.
