depositionis

Updated: January 17, 2026

It may be noted here, that, in the recitation of this Office, which is, for most priests, the only choral recitation of liturgy, care should be taken to select the proper nocturn or nocturns. When, therefore, only one nocturn is recited, the invitatory is to be omitted except on the dies obitus seu depositionis."
