WDTPRS – Quasimodo Sunday “in albis”, Low Sunday

Deus misericordiae sempiternae, qui in ipso paschalis festi recursu fidem sacratae tibi plebis accendis, auge gratiam quam dedisti, ut digna omnes intellegentia comprehendant, quo lavacro abluti, quo spiritu regenerati, quo sanguine sunt redempti.
Literal rendering

O God of eternal mercy, who on this recurrence of the paschal feast do kindle the faith of a people sanctified for Yourself, increase the grace which You have given, so that all may comprehend with worthy understanding by what laver they were washed, by what Spirit they were regenerated, by what Blood they were redeemed.

In the post-Conciliar calendar Sunday is technically the “Second Sunday of Easter.” It is sometimes called “Thomas Sunday” because of the Gospel reading about the doubting Apostle. It is also famously called “Quasimodo Sunday” for the first word of the opening chant, the Introit (cf. 1 Peter 2:2-3). Quasimodo and Sicut modo are interchangeable.

Literal rendering

O God, who desired Your Word to take flesh from the womb of the blessed Virgin Mary the angel announcing it: grant to your supplicants; that we who believe truly in the Mother of God, may be helped in Your sight by her intercessions.

This is the very Feast of the Incarnation. Today we celebrate that moment when our Lord elevated our humanity by taking our human nature into an indestructible bond with His Divinity. In the Incarnation God opened for us the path to our “divinization”: His sharing of something of His own divine glory with us in the eternal happiness of heaven.

From Divine Mercy Sunday

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

CollectApr 11, 2015

WDTPRS “Low” Sunday, “Mercy” Sunday, “Quasimodo” Sunday, Sunday “in albis”

Deus misericordiae sempiternae, qui in ipso paschalis festi recursu fidem sacratae tibi plebis accendis, auge gratiam quam dedisti, ut digna omnes intellegentia comprehendant, quo lavacro abluti, quo spiritu regenerati, quo sanguine sunt redempti.

O God of eternal mercy, who on this recurrence of the paschal feast do kindle the faith of a people sanctified for Yourself, increase the grace which You have given, so that all may comprehend with worthy understanding by what laver they were washed, by what Spirit they were regenerated, by what Blood they were redeemed.

This Sunday has many nicknames. In the post-Conciliar calendar it is the “Second Sunday of Easter (or of Divine Mercy)”. It is also called “Thomas Sunday” (because of the Gospel reading about the doubting Apostle), and “Quasimodo Sunday” (from the first word of the Introit), and “Low Sunday”.
