WDTPRS: Easter Sunday (1962MR): the remedy of eternity
Suscipe, quaesumus, Domine, preces populi tui cum oblationibus hostiarum: ut paschalibus initiata mysteriis, ad aeternitatis nobis medelam, te operante, proficient.Literal rendering
O God, who today, death having been conquered, unbarred for us the gateway of eternity through Your Only-begotten, follow up upon our prayers which You instill in us by anticipating them. The word praevenio (prae – “before” + venio “to come”) reminds us of a distinction made when speaking about grace. God gives us habitual grace, also called sanctifying grace, which is in us in a stable and abiding manner. Actual graces are given according to our needs here and now, in this or that circumstance. Among the actual graces is gratia praeveniens, or “prevenient grace”, called sometimes “preventing grace” (cf. Council of Trent, Session VI, ch. 5). When we fall into habitual sin and our will has little strength…
We have come to the high point of the Church’s liturgical year. Each year Holy Church sacramentally re-presents the history of our salvation from creation to Second Coming together with the earthly life of the Lord from conception and birth to death, resurrection and ascension.

WDTPRS Easter Sunday: “Be sprigs!”
Deus, qui hodierna die, per Unigenitum tuum, aeternitatis nobis aditum, devicta morte, reserasti, da nobis, quaesumus, ut, qui resurrectionis dominicae sollemnia colimus, per innovationem tui Spiritus in lumine vitae resurgamus.Literal rendering
O God, who today, once death was conquered, unbarred for us the gateway of eternity through Your Only-begotten, grant to us, we beg, that we who are reverently observing the solemn annual rites of the Lord’s resurrection, may through the renewing of Your Spirit rise again in the light of life.
We observed the Sacred Triduum: the priesthood was celebrated, the Eucharistic Christ was reposed and the altar stripped, the Passion was sung and the Cross was kissed. Our liturgical death was complete. Then in the evening, in some places even at midnight, the Easter Vigil began. Flowers, instrumental music, white and gold vestments returned after a long drought of ornamentation.…

Perpetuo, Deus, Ecclesiam tuam pio favore tuere, ut, paschalibus renovata mysteriis, ad resurrectionis perveniat claritatem.Literal rendering
Look to Thy Church, O God, with unending dutiful good will, so that, having been renewed by means of the paschal sacramental mysteries, it may attain to the glory of the resurrection.

Literal rendering
Exultant in joys of Easter, O Lord, we are offering now the sacrifices by which Thy Church is wondrously reborn and nourished. The faithful Lewis & Short Dictionary brings back to mind that the verb exsulto in its roots has to do with “jumping” or “leaping”. It means “to spring vigorously.” So, by extension it means “to rejoice exceedingly”. Hearing it in our prayer reminds us of the singing of the Exsultet during the dark of the night when the Christ Candle was kindled. One can envisage Christ leaping from the tomb, the new Adam, gloriously renewed – as we hope to be someday. Also, nutrio (and the deponent nutrior – here I think it is not deponent) has a…
