DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at None in Advent.

The repetition of the Sext versicle at None reinforces Advent's sustained petition for salvation. At the ninth hour, when Christ died on the Cross, this plea gains sacrificial resonance. "Visit us with thy salvation" connects Advent expectation to Paschal fulfillment, reminding the faithful that the Babe of Bethlehem comes to complete His work on Calvary.

LATINE
V. Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui. R. Visita nos in salutari tuo.
