Is it clear now? COLLECT – (1962MR): Deus, qui fidelium mentes unius efficis voluntatis: da populis tuis id amare quod praecipis, id desiderare quod promittis; ut inter mundanas varietates ibi nostra fixa sint corda, ubi vera sunt gaudia.O God, You who make the minds of the faithful to be of one will, grant unto Your people to love that thing which You command, to desire that which You promise, so that, amidst the vicissitudes of this world, our hearts may there be fixed where true joys are.
We’ve come to the 4th Sunday after Easter according to the older, traditional Roman calendar. Today’s Collect survived the slash and hack editors of the Novus Ordo. You can find it in the Novus Ordo for the 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time as well as Monday of the Fifth Week of Easter. That is… of Easter. In the post-Conciliar calendar…

Our look into the first reading for Sunday’s Holy Mass in the Vetus Ordo of the Roman Rite continues with the Epistle for the 4th Sunday after Easter which is from the Letter of the Apostle St. James. James is one of the “Catholic Epistles”, non-Pauline texts, along with 1 and 2 Peter – the second of which we’ve been…

The Collect for the 4th Sunday after Easter, in the traditional Roman calendar, is the same as the Collect for the 21st Ordinary Sunday in the post-Conciliar calendar. Or… the other way around! Let’s look at the structure. A master crafted this prayer. It is in the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary. Listen to those “eee”s produced by the Latin “i”.

Welcome to another rapid installment of What Does the Prayer Really Sound Like? Today we will learn the antiphons, orations and readings for the 4th Sunday after Easter in the 1962 Missale Romanum. I read the texts and then sing the prayers the priest must sing in the Festal and Solemn tones and sing also the Epistle and Gospel in…

Deus, cuius gratia iusti ex impiis et beati efficiamur ex miseris, adesto operibus tuis, adesto muneribus, ut quibus inest fidei iustificatio non desit perseverantiae fortitudo.O God, by whose grace we are made just people out of impious and happy people out of wretches, be present with Your works, be present with gifts, so that the fortitude of perseverance will not be lacking to those in whom there is the justification of faith.
COLLECT: Deus, cuius gratia iusti ex impiis et beati efficiamur ex miseris, adesto operibus tuis, adesto muneribus, ut quibus inest fidei iustificatio non desit perseverantiae fortitudo. This prayer was not in pre-Conciliar editions of the Missale Romanum. It had a precedent in the Sacramentarium Bergomense. There are elegant parallels here as well as snappy rhythmic phrases. This is a delight…

Omnípotens sempiterne Deus, semper in nobis paschále perfice sacraméntum, ut, quos sacro baptísmate dignátus es renováre, mirábili tuitióne foveas. Per Dóminum.O God, from whom both redemption comes to us and adoption is fulfilled for us, kindly give attention to your beloved children, so that both true freedom and an everlasting inheritance may be bestowed on those believing in Christ.
UPDATE 3 May 2026: Well! This shows how out of touch I have been with the Novus Ordo and I posted from my work in the old days, on the 1970 edition. But I did write about the 2002 edition Collect in 2016 HERE. Folks, you can use the SEARCH feature.

Deus, per quem nobis et redemptio venit et praestatur adoptio, filios dilectionis tuae benignus intende, ut in Christo credentibus et vera tribuatur libertas, et hereditas aeterna.O God, from whom both redemption comes to us and adoption is fulfilled for us, kindly give attention to your beloved children, so that both true freedom and an everlasting inheritance may be bestowed on those believing in Christ.
As we journey from the passion and Easter toward Ascension and Pentecost, the Church in Holy Mass leads us through meditations on the fruits of the Resurrection and our baptism. Our mysterious procession was made possible by the Cross. Our Collect today, for the 5th Sunday of Easter in the Ordinary Form calendar, is a delightful little piece of polished…

What Does the Prayer Really Say? 5th Sunday of Easter ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN The Wanderer in 2003 Dare we to hope? The 2 May 2003 edition of the Catholic Herald published in the UK provides a story by Simon Caldwell that the Pope is preparing “to lift restrictions on Tridentine Mass: English bishops request secret report from Latin Mass Society”.…
