The responsories of the Requiem Office which is almost the only Office which missionary priests have an opportunity of reciting in choir are highly praised for their beauty of thought and expression. Symbolism of the Rubric.
The poor are sad and thoughtful, for on that night, if they have not recited many prayers, yet they have prayed much with pain in their eyes and tears in their hearts. They have not the novenas, nor do they know the responsories, versicles, and prayers which the friars have composed for those who lack original ideas and feelings, nor do they understand them.
In the new Breviary the responsories to the lessons have been restored to their place of honour. M. Eaton, Irish Eccles. Amalare of Metz found them fully formed and placed. The rule of St. Benedict, written about 530 A.D., mentions them as a recognised part of Matins.
But Padre Irene, trustee and executor, rejected both proposals and ordered that the Capitan be dressed in one of his old suits of clothes, remarking with holy unction that God paid no attention to clothing. The obsequies were, therefore, of the very first class. There were responsories in the house, and in the street three friars officiated, as though one were not sufficient for such a great soul.
