WDTPRS – 18th Sunday after Pentecost: Who says mercy has to be gentle? Wherein Fr. Z rants.

Dirigat corda nostra, quaesumus, Domine, tuae miserationis operatio, quia tibi sine te placere non possumus.

The Collect for Sunday Mass this week in the Extraordinary Form wound up in the Ordinary Form Missale Romanum as the Collect for Saturday in the 4th Week of Lent. Go figure. It had an ancient source in the Gelasian Sacramentary. For a change, the redactors of Fr. Bugnini’s and Card. Lercaro’s Consilium, with their scissors and glue pots, didn’t…

WDTPRS – Collect for the 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Novus Ordo): “the bowels of compassion”

Deus, qui omnipotentiam tuam parcendo maxime et miserando manifestas, gratiam tuam super nos indesinenter infunde, ut, ad tua promissa currentes, caelestium bonorum facias esse consortes.
Literal rendering

O God, who manifest Your omnipotence especially by sparing and being merciful, pour Your grace upon us unceasingly, so that You may make us, rushing to the things You have promised, to be partakers of heavenly benefits.

Many of you could care less about the Novus Ordo prayers. But remember, when the English translation of the Novus Ordo improved, it was like the old adage that a rising tide raises all boats. All boats. Many of our brothers and sisters do not have easy access to the Traditional Latin Mass or they haven’t yet experienced. They ought…

Post CommunionOct 1, 2006

26th Sunday of Ordinary Time: POST COMMUNION (1)

Sit nobis, Domine, reparatio mentis et corporis caeleste mysterium, ut simus eius in gloria coheredes, cui, mortem ipsius annuntiando, compatimur.
Literal rendering

O Lord, let the heavenly sacramental mystery be for us a restoration of mind and body, so that we may be coheirs in the glory of Him with whom we share suffering by proclaiming His death.

Prayer over the OfferingsOct 1, 2006

26th Sunday of Ordinary Time: SUPER OBLATA (2)

Concede nobis, misericors Deus, ut haec nostra oblatio tibi sit accepta, et per eam nobis fons omnis benedictionis aperiatur.
Literal rendering

Grant to us, O merciful God, that this our sacrificial offering might be acceptable to You, and that through it the fount of every blessing be may opened to us. The central image in the prayer is that of a grace flowing out from God as from a font, a source, almost like living water, that is, water which flows. Look at the movement concepts here. God is identified as merciful. We ask that what we bring to the altar will be acceptable by God’s power, for He is the origin of all blessings. A blessing from God, a sharing of something of Himself with us, is to be given by means of the offering. This sharing and God’s gift…
