You might notice that on page O-64, the heading in the second column is "Holy (Maundy) Thursday." But you might also notice that come Palm Sunday, you're directed to these pages for Holy Week propers. So you might finally notice that the Invitatory is expressly noted as for Holy Week even though it is under the heading for Maundy Thursday, though the antiphon and Responsory do seem to be keyed specifically to Maundy Thursday. My best guess is that the Invitatory alone switches on Holy Week, while the Responsory remains the Lenten one until Maundy Thursday.
Christ has become obedient to death, even death on a cross.
O come, let us worship Him!
[We might also wish to note: Brotherhood Prayer Book provides a Responsory for Passiontide (He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter... p. 438) but follows the practice of the Roman Breviary of omitting the Invitatory, Venite and any Responsories during the Triduum itself. The Magedburg book, however, retains all these]
