WDTPRS – 22 Feb – Feast of the Cathedra of Peter (2002MR): Antioch or Rome or… Texas?
Praesta, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, ut nullis nos permittas perturbationibus concuti, quos in apostolicae confessionis petra solidasti.Congratulations to all those who belong to the Ordinariate of the Chair of Peter a fine feast day.

WDTPRS Monday in the 2nd Week of Lent
Deus, qui ob animarum medelam castigare corpora praecepisti, concede, ut ab omnibus possimus abstinere peccatis, et corda nostra pietatis tuae valeant exercere mandata.Literal rendering
O God, who commanded the stern correction of our bodies on account of the healing of our souls, grant, that we may be able to abstain from all sins and that our hearts may have the strength to carrying our the commands of Your piety. Note once again we have conceptual pairing of mind and body. In this prayer we have the structure of bodies sins hearts. It is as if when we give ourselves to our appetites, the sins we objectively commit corrupt hearts as well. In another way, sins pray apart, divide us in two, diminish us. They caused the separation of body and soul which is the death in the enslavement of sin. Our first parents caused…
Today’s prayer, quite ancient and designated the Gelasian Sacramentary for the early Roman Church’s use on Tuesday of the 2nd Week of Lent, was once arranged a bit different, but it was the same prayer. It was not in the pre-Conciliar Roman Missal. We have a new theme this week, I think.

WDTPRS – Monday 2nd Week of Lent – “Prayer over the people” (2002MR)
ORATIO SUPER POPULUM (2002MR): Confirma, Domine, quaesumus, tuorum corda fidelium, et gratiae tuae virtute corrobora, ut et in tua sint supplicatione devoti, et mutua dilectione sinceri.Literal rendering
Embolden, O Lord, we implore, the hearts of Your faithful, and strengthen them by the power of Your grace, so that they may be devout in your supplication and genuine in mutual love.
In the 2002MR the ancient tradition of a "Prayer over the people" at the end of Mass has been revived. Priests can use it NOW, though in Latin only…. so far. This is a slight variation of a prayer in the ancient Liber sacramentorum Engolismensis, one the versions of the Gelasian. It is probably older.

EM (2002MR): Haec nos communio, Domine, purget a crimine, et caelestis gaudii faciat esse consortes.We continue our project of looking at the Post communions of Lent: Monday – 2nd Week of Lent In the 1962MR this prayer was, with a line inserted and a variation, the Postcommunio on 1 January. The Postcommunion is an ancient prayer, found in various old versions of the Gelasian, including the Engolismensis and Gellonensis for the feast of St.…

Literal rendering
Having been propitiated, O Lord, allow our prayers to come to You, and, cause those whom You are granting to serve the heavenly mysteries to be people freed from earthly snares. Notice that we seem simultaneously to be talking about service right now at the altar, but also our continuous service of God in our vocations.
We continue our Lenten journey through the prayers of Holy Mass with today’s SUPER OBLATA: Preces nostras, Domine, propitiatus admitte, et a terrenis effice illecebris liberatos, quos caelestibus tribuis servire mysteriis. This prayer was not in a previous edition of the Missale Romanum, but it has precedent in the Veronese Sacramentary.

Ecclesiae tuae, quaesumus, Domine, preces et hostias benignus admitte, ut, beato Petro pastore, ad aeternam perveniat hereditatem, quo docente fidei tenet integritatem.Literal rendering
O Lord, we beseech Thee, kindly suffer to receive the prayers and sacrificial offerings of Thy Church, so that, blessed Peter being Her shepherd, and, by whom as he is teaching holds fast to the integritry of the Faith, She may attain to the eternal inheritance.
COLLECT: Praesta, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, ut nullis nos permittas perturbationibus concuti, quos in apostolicae confessionis petra solidasti. There is nothing especially difficult about the grammar and vocabulary of this prayer, though it is theologically profound. NB: the solidasti is really solidavisti, a "syncopated" form. This is a good deal harder than the Collect. From the point of view of vocabulary,…

WDTPRS – 2nd Sunday of Lent (NO): a more perfect “view”
Deus, qui nobis dilectum Filium tuum audire praecepisti, verbo tuo interius nos pascere digneris, ut, spiritali purificato intuitu, gloriae tuae laetemur aspectu.Literal rendering
O God, who commanded us to listen to Your beloved Son, deign to nourish us interiorly with Your word, so that, once (our) spiritual view has been purified, we may rejoice in the sight of Your glory.
Here is the Collect of the 2nd Sunday of Lent, a new composition for the Novus Ordo based on a precedent in the Liber Mozarabicus Sacramentorum: Used by early Latin writers such as Sts. Hilary of Poitiers (+c 368), Ambrose (+397) and in liturgical texts, gloria is more than fame or splendor of appearance. Our Latin liturgical gloria is the…

WDTPRS – 2nd Sunday of Lent – “Prayer over the people” (2002MR)
Benedic, Domine fideles tuos benedictione perpetua, et fac eos Unigeniti tui Evangelio sic adhaerere, ut ad illam gloriam, cuius in se speciem Apostolis ostendit, et suspirare iugiter et feliciter valeant pervenire.Literal rendering
Bless Your faithful, O Lord, with an everlasting benediction and make them so to cling to the Gospel of Your Only-Begotten that they may be able to long for always and happily to attain unto that glory whose beauty He showed to the Apostles in Himself. This wonderful plea for your sake on the part of the priest, which I hope you might hear someday with your heads bowed unto God, connects us back to the moment of the Transfiguration about which we were instructed in the Gospel for today’s Holy Mass.
In the 2002 edition of the Missale Romanum the traditional Lenten “Prayer over the people” has been revived. It can be used now in Latin. ORATIO SUPER POPULUM: Benedic, Domine fideles tuos benedictione perpetua, et fac eos Unigeniti tui Evangelio sic adhaerere, ut ad illam gloriam, cuius in se speciem Apostolis ostendit, et suspirare iugiter et feliciter valeant pervenire.

Let this sacrificial offering cleanse our sins, we beg, O Lord, and let it sanctify the bodies and minds of Thy faithful for celebrating the paschal feasts. Humans are not angels. We have both body and soul. The bond between body and soul is so great that when the one is separated from the other we die. But so powerful is that bond that our soul awaits the moment when it will once again (using philosophical language) inform matter which is our body. We will arise from the dust from which we were formed. Some will rise to the unending happiness of heaven, some to perpetual damnation of hell. Our eternal destiny is determined by our state of soul at…
