WDTPRS – 13th Sunday after Pentecost: “E ‘n la sua volontade è nostra pace!”

Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, da nobis fidei, spei et caritatis augmentum: et, ut mereamur assequi quod promittis, fac nos amare quod praecipis.
Literal rendering

Almighty everlasting God, grant us an increase of faith, hope and charity, and cause us to love what You command so that we may merit to obtain what You promise.

Today’s Collect for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost in the Vetus Ordo survived the redactors to live on in the Novus Ordo as the Collect for the 30th Sunday of Ordinary Time. It is an ancient prayer, found in the Veronese and the Gelasian Sacramentary.

WDTPRS – SECRET 13th Sunday after Pentecost: a fearful puzzle

Propitiare, Domine, populo tuo, propitiare muneribus, ut, hac oblatione placatus, et indulgentiam nobis tribuas, et postulata concedas.

This is a classic Roman prayer, terse, balanced. Note the elegant repetition of propitiare. These two petitions are followed by two more, set off by an et…et construction.

WDTPRS – 23rd Ordinary Sunday: Submission, manumission, filiation

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.
Literal rendering

O God, through whom to us come both redemption and adoption is guaranteed, kindly give attention to your beloved children, so that both true freedom and the inheritance everlasting may be bestowed on those believing in Christ.

The Collect for the 23rd Ordinary Sunday – this Sunday – was not in any pre-Conciliar edition of the Roman Missal, but it was in the 8th century Gelasian Sacramentary in a section for evening prayers during Paschaltide. You have to wonder how they – the cutting and pasting experts – made these decisions.

23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time: POST COMMUNION (1)

em Latin (2002 Missale Romanum): Da fidelibus tuis, Domine, quos et verbi tui et caelestis sacramenti pabulo nutris et vivificas, ita dilecti Filii tui tantis muneribus proficere, ut eius vitae semper consortes effici mereamur.

What Does The Prayer Really Say? 23rd Sunday Of Ordinary Time ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN The Wanderer in 2003 I made comments about the ungrammatical ICEL rendering of “all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father.” This incited various notes from readers, including that from Fr. PN via e-mail: “In reference to your recent column (August 21) you criticize the translation…
