From the chapter, O Altitudo, the Office was of the Sunday. The chapter was O Altitudo and the Office hymn O lux beata Trinitas.

At Mattins the invitatory is Adoremus Dominum and the Office hymn Nocte surgentes. In the first nocturn (Pss. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14) are sung and the lessons are a continuation of the Second Book of the Kings. The lessons are the same as in modern editions of the Breviary. In the second nocturn (Pss. 15, 16 & 17) the lessons are from St. Ambrose's Defence of David. These, again, are the same as found in the modern editions. In the third nocturn (Pss. 18, 19 & 20) the homily is from St. Ambrose on St. Mark's Gospel. The seventh lesson includes the first sentence (Consequens igitur... a jejunio liberaret) from the modern eighth lesson.

Dear Rubricarius,
ReplyDeleteOn your previous post you say that the Sunday within the Octave of Ss Peter and Paul fell on 4th July - if so, why were Vespers on the Saturday of the Visitation, when this Feast falls on 2nd, not 3rd of July?
Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteGood question! It is clearly past time I was put away: I must have had a 'senior moment' looking at the dates.
I have corrected the post - thank you for pointing it out.
