Examples may be seen in the responsories for the first Sunday of Advent and in the Libera nos of the Requiem Office.

There were responsories in the house, and in the street three friars officiated, as though one were not sufficient for such a great soul.

The responsories of the Requiem Officewhich is almost the only Office which missionary priests have an opportunity of reciting in choirare highly praised for their beauty of thought and expression.

In the new Breviary the responsories to the lessons have been restored to their place of honour.
