WDTPRS – 1st Sunday of Lent (TLM): our season of transforming mystery

Deus, qui Ecclesiam tuam annua quadragesimali observatione purificas: praesta familiae tuae; ut, quod a te obtinere abstinendo nititur, hoc bonis operibus exsequatur.
Literal rendering

O God, who purify Your Church by means of the annual forty-day Lenten observance: grant to Your family; that, what it strives to obtain from You by abstaining, may be achieved by good works.

With this 1st Sunday of Lent we are fully into our forty day season of purification and preparation. Speaking of forty, the Latin for Lent is Quadragesima, “fortieth”. St Leo the Great (d 461) used the phrase quadragesimale ieiunium, “the Forty Fast”, for Lent. English “Lent” comes from Old English lencten for “spring”.

Tuesday of the 1st Week of Lent

Respice, Domine, familiam tuam, et praesta, ut apud te mens nostra tuo desiderio fulgeat, quae se corporalium moderatione castigat.
Literal rendering

Look up Your family, O Lord, and grant, that our soul, which is checking itself by means of moderation of corporal things may shine in Your sight with Your longing.

COLLECT Respice, Domine, familiam tuam, et praesta, ut apud te mens nostra tuo desiderio fulgeat, quae se corporalium moderatione castigat. Today’s prayer was in the 1962 Missale Romanum and, long before that, in the so-called ancient "Gregorian Sacramentary". This has been adapted for the Novus Ordo, however. More about that later.

23 Feb: St. Polycarp of Smyrna, martyr

Deus universae creaturae, qui beatum Polycarpum episcopum in numero martyrum dignatus es aggregare, eius nobis intercessione concede, ut, cum illo partem calicis Christi capientes, in vitam resurgamus aeternam.
Literal rendering

O God of all of creation, who deigned to join blessed Polycarp the bishop to the number of the flock of martyrs, by his intercession grant to us that, grasping with him a share in the chalice of Christ, we shall rise again unto life eternal.

WDTPRS – 1st Sunday of Lent (N.O.): our season of transforming mystery

Concede nobis, omnipotens Deus, ut, per annua quadragesimalis exercitia sacramenti, et ad intellegendum Christi proficiamus arcanum, et effectus eius digna conversatione sectemur.
Literal rendering

Grant to us, Almighty God, that, through the annual exercises of the forty-day Lenten mystery, we may both make progress in understanding the hidden dimension of Christ and imitate the consequences by worthy conduct of life.

The Roman Station for the 1st Sunday of Lent is St. John Lateran. COLLECT – LATIN TEXT (2002MR): Quadragesima is the Latin word for the season of Lent, literally “fortieth” (from quadraginta “forty”) for the fortieth weekday before Easter (Ash Wednesday). In Souter’s A Glossary of Later Latin to 600 A.D., we find quadragesimalis is the adjective form for “forty”…
