In Vigilia Nativitatis Domini - Terce Brief Responsory

The Christmas Vigil brief responsory at Terce develops "Hodie scietis" (Today ye shall know). The structure of respond, verse, respond, Gloria, respond characterizes brief responsories' meditative form. The Lord's coming today/tomorrow creates liturgical anticipation at the third hour.
