From 21st Sunday after Pentecost

On weekdays without their own proper, the Mass takes the Sunday’s prayers.

CollectOct 16, 2015

WDTPRS – 21st Sunday after Pentecost (1962): I am horrified when I hear the modernists say…

Familiam tuam, quaesumus, Domine, continua pietate custodi: ut a cunctis adversitatibus, te protegente, sit libera; et bonis actibus tuo nomini sit devota.
Literal rendering

Guard your family, we beseech you, O Lord, with continual mercy, so that that (family) may be free from all adversities as You are protecting it, and in good acts may be devoted in Your Name.

Let’s have a look at the Collect for the upcoming Sunday in the TLM – 1962 Missale Romanum. This a portion from my article for The Wanderer. This Collect has been in use at least since the time of the Liber Sacramentorum Gellonensis, which is a variation of the ancient Gregorian Sacramentary. It survived the Novus Ordo cutter-snippers as the…

Commentary for this day

CollectApr 11, 2011

Collect for the Commemoration of Bl. John Paul II

Deus, dives in misericordia, [As I suspected] qui beatum Ioannem Paulum, papam, universae Ecclesiae tuae praeesse voluisti, [ditto] praesta, quaesumus, ut, eius institutis edocti, [hmmm… ] corda nostra salutiferae gratiae Christi, [perhaps better gratiae Christi salutiferae] unius redemptoris hominis, fidenter aperiamus. [As I suspected, on both counts.]

When a person is beatified their “cult” or the public liturgical observance of the person is normally restricted to the place most closely associated with the blessed’s life and work or the blessed’s religious institute, if a member. The liturgical cult of Bl. Pope John Paul II will be observed in Rome and in Poland. Bishops would have to seek…

Did John Paul II write “pro omnibus”?

I learned about something at The Undercroft, stemming from something else at Valle Adurni … something rather serious. I am obliged to add additional information to put things straight. Some folks have incorrectly speculated that the late Pope John Paul II, in Ecclesia de Eucharistia, wrote "pro omnibus" instead of "pro multis".

From 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time

On weekdays without their own proper, the Mass takes the Sunday’s prayers.

CollectOct 19, 2024

WDTPRS – 29th Ordinary Sunday (Novus Ordo): It’s about the children. Wherein Fr. Z rants.

Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, fac nos tibi semper et devotam gerere voluntatem, et maiestati tuae sincero corde servire.
Literal rendering

Almighty eternal God, cause us always both to bear towards You a devout faith, and to serve Your majesty with a sincere heart.

A little rant, before launching into this comment on a prayer for Mass, which called to mind a beautiful piece of art with a special theme. At the “Walking Together about Walking Togetherity” and in papal audiences there is increasing support – at least by inuendo – of same-sex couples, which is effectively a betrayal of God who made man…

Post CommunionOct 22, 2006

29th Sunday of Ordinary Time: POST COMMUNION (1)

Fac nos, quaesumus, Domine, caelestium rerum frequentatione proficere, ut et temporibus beneficiis adiuvemur, et erudiamur aeternis.
Literal rendering

We beseech thee, O Lord, make us to make progress by a frequent use of heavenly things, so that we may both be sustained with temporal beneficial helps, and also be polished by the eternal.

What Does the Prayer Really Say? 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN The Wanderer in 2003 You might recall reading about the rather recently established “permission” for priests holding the relevant documents (“celebrets”) issued by the Holy See to use the 1962 Missale Romanum in the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome. The present Archpriest of the Basilica…
