DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at Terce in Paschaltide.

The versicle at Terce during Paschaltide, following the brief responsory. This dialogue between celebrant and choir punctuates the Little Hour with the characteristic Paschal Alleluia. At the third hour, when the Spirit descended at Pentecost, the versicle prepares the faithful for the collect that concludes the hour.

LATINE
V. Surrexit Dominus vere. Alleluia. R. Et apparuit Simoni. Alleluia.
ENGLISH
V. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia. R. And hath appeared to Simon. Alleluia.
