There cannot be a case when the Office of the Vigil has nine lessons, a ninth responsory and a <i>Te Deum</i>.<br /><br />I suspect that the reformers (the rubric was new to the 1914 edition of the BR) got confused and gave the Wednesday the same rubric as Tuesday.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669950994040167422.post-90833092934519365622010-05-12T12:55:15.311+00:002010-05-12T12:55:15.311+00:00Dear Rubricarius,

Dicant nunc, qui redempti sunt, alleluia,' etc." How could there be a ninth responsory in an office of nine readings? Or, alternately, how could this be a third responsory, since it's given for a Gospel and homily? <br />With much gratitude, in advance,<br />Fr.
