DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at None in Paschaltide.

The versicle at None during Paschaltide: 'Stay with us, O Lord, because it is towards evening' (Luke 24:29). This Emmaus petition, prayed at the ninth hour when Christ died, expresses the Church's desire for the abiding presence of the Risen Lord. The approaching evening anticipates both Compline and the Parousia.

LATINE
V. Mane nobiscum Domine. Alleluia. R. Quoniam advesperascit. Alleluia.
ENGLISH
V. Stay with us, O Lord. Alleluia. R. Because it is towards evening. Alleluia.
