medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture There are some differences in the MR, as noted below. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Briggs" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 11:56 AM Subject: [M-R] Offertorium - 5a Ember Days - Ember Wednesday > Offertorium - 5a Ember Days - Ember Wednesday <snip> > The Introit for Ember Wednesday in the third week of Advent begins with a > text from Isaiah 45:8: > > A. Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant justum: aperietur terra, et > germinet Salvatorem. > > The psalm verse of the Introit, is taken not from any psalm, but from the > remainder of Isaiah 45:8: > > Et justitia oriatur simul: ego Dominus creavi eum. In the MR, the psalm verse is the same as Advent IV, Ps 18,2. So the Introitus, second Graduale and the Communio are identical to the following Sunday. > The Offertorium Response is simply the Angelic Salutation, from Luke 1:28 > > R. Ave, Maria, gratia plena: Dominus tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus, et > benedictus fructus ventris tui. > > The Verse is from Luke 1:30: > > V. Ideoque quod nascetur ex te sanctum vocabitur Filius Dei. In the MR, the Offertorium is Is 35,4. Confortamini, et jam nolite timere: ecce enim Deus noster retribuet judicium: ipse veniet, et salvos nos faciet. <snip> Stan Metheny ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
