WDTPRS – 3rd Sunday after Easter (Vetus Ordo): Be distinguished by your profession of Christ!

Deus, qui errantibus, ut in viam possint redire iustitiae, veritatis tuae lumen ostendis, da cunctis qui christiana professione censentur, et illa respuere, quae huic inimica sunt nomini, et ea quae sunt apta sectari.

However, Blaise/Dumas indicates its liturgical force as "salut (materiél et spirit.)". Incolumitas, used heavily by classical authors by Livy, Cicero, Caesar, etc. especially in political contexts, is paried at time in classical writings by Livy and Cicero with libertas…
