WDTPRS – Sexagesima Sunday: Some will make it but many will not

Deus, qui conspicis, quia ex nulla nostra actione confidimus: concede propitius; ut, contra adversa omnia, Doctoris gentium protectione muniamur.

Literal rendering

O God, You who perceive that we trust in no action of our own: propitiously grant; that we may be fortified against every adverse thing by the protection of the Doctor of the Gentiles. This ancient prayer makes explicit reference to St. Paul, the Doctor of the Gentiles.

In the traditional Roman calendar, last week was the first of the pre-Lenten Sundays, Septuagesima or “Seventieth” before Easter. This Sunday is called Sexagesima, “Sixtieth”. This number is more symbolic than arithmetical. For a fuller explanation, HERE. Pre-Lent Sundays have Roman Station churches. The Roman Station is at St. Paul’s outside-the-walls.

Last week was the first of these pre-Lenten Sundays, Septuagesima or “Seventieth. The pre-Lenten Sundays prepare us for the discipline of Lent, which once was far stricter. Purple is worn rather than the green of the…

WDTPRS – 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time: “kissing the porch”

Deus, qui te in rectis et sinceris manere pectoribus asseris, da nobis tua gratia tales exsistere, in quibus habitare digneris.

O God, who declared that You remain in upright and pure hearts, grant us to manifest ourselves to be, by Your grace, the sort of people in whom You deign to abide.

The calendar is helping those who follow the TLM to prepare for a fruitful Lent. The Gloria is already gone and the Alleluia has been buried until the resurrection.
