Lectionary Preaching Workbook
The Sunday received its title - Reminiscere - from verse 5 of the Twenty-fifth Psalm, "Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love, for they are from everlasting." This is meant to be a kind of "remembrance Sunday" - as all Sundays are, recalling the death and resurrection of our Lord as "little Easters" - but with a difference. The church is being asked to remember the identity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and that the passion and death of the Lord are fairly close at hand.
