Sext EF Responsory Discrepancy

    Today has been my second time ever trying to chant Sext (or any of the little hours), and the previous attempt was a good while ago. It was all ok until the chapter/brief responsory/verse where divinum officium didn’t match the Liber Usualis nor a pdf I have been referencing of a bilingual ‘62 breviary (as far as I can tell).

    Divinum officium says the chapter begins ‘Carissimi’, followed by brief responsory of ‘Surrexit Dominus de sepulcro’, and a V/R with V ‘Surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia’. My LU (which is a new one - so ‘62?) and the breviary (‘61) have a chapter beginning ‘Tradebat’, short responsory ‘Surrexit Dominus vere’, and V/R with V ‘Gavisi sunt discipuli’.

    Which one is correct according to ‘62? Or maybe it is more nuanced than that, but if so, please enlighten me.

    I was under the impression that divinum officium wasn’t quite up to ‘62, but also that the LU is a mess anyway, and so I’m just confused as to which is right. I wanted to try to get a bit more familiar with some of the little hours before my breviary arrives, but now I’m beginning to think I should just wait!

    And I’ve just realised why I couldn’t get this to work! I accidentally clicked terce on divinum officium instead of sext, and I never bothered to check the psalms matches. All my fault but at least all resolved! Sometimes it’s not as complicated as it looks.
