From 19th Sunday after Pentecost

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

CollectOct 14, 2022

DIEBUS SALTEM DOMINICIS – 19th Sunday after Pentecost: You might not have a tomorrow.

Indue me, Domine, novum hominem, qui secundum Deum creatus est in iustitia et sanctitate veritatis. Amen.

When this Sunday comes around, with its snappy Collect, I am minded of the early 4th c. martyr St. Expeditus. Here is the Latin and my own slavishly literal version. You spotted “expediti” of course, in this prayers clearly military language. This is from expedio, “to extricate, disengage, let loose, free up from impediments, liberate any thing entangled.” When applied…

WDTPRS Collect 19th Sunday after Pentecost- “Why did God make you?”

Omnipotens et misericors Deus, universa nobis adversantia propitiatus exclude: ut mente et corpore pariter expediti, quae tua sunt, liberis mentibus exsequamur.
Literal rendering

Almighty and merciful God, having been appeased, keep away all things opposing us, so that, having been unencumbered in mind and body equally, we may with free minds accomplish the things which You command.

The snippers and stitchers of the Consilium allowed this Sunday’s prayer to survive unscathed in the post-Conciliar editions of the Missale Romanum. The Collect still echoes the ancient sentiments of Holy Church wherever the Roman Rite’s Ordinary Use of Holy Mass is offered in Latin on the 32nd Sunday of Ordinary Time.

WDTPRS 19th Sunday after Pentecost: SECRET – saving and healing

Haec munera quaesumus, Domine, quæ oculis tuae maiestatis offerimus, salutaria nobis esse concede.
Literal rendering

We beseech You, O Lord, grant that these gifts which we are offering in the sight of Your majesty, are for us saving things. SMOOTHER:

Today’s Secret for the 19th Sunday after Pentecost was in ancient versions of the Gelasian Sacramentary, such as the 8th c. Gellonensis. I don’t think it survived the scissors of the Consilium, wielded by Fr. Bugnini’s liturgical experts. In prayers which stress propitiation we will often have looking words or imagery. For example, we get orations with the gentle imperative…

From 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time

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

CollectSep 29, 2023

WDTPRS – Collect for the 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Novus Ordo): “the bowels of compassion”

Deus, qui omnipotentiam tuam parcendo maxime et miserando manifestas, gratiam tuam super nos indesinenter infunde, ut, ad tua promissa currentes, caelestium bonorum facias esse consortes.
Literal rendering

O God, who manifest Your omnipotence especially by sparing and being merciful, pour Your grace upon us unceasingly, so that You may make us, rushing to the things You have promised, to be partakers of heavenly benefits.

Many of you could care less about the Novus Ordo prayers. But remember, when the English translation of the Novus Ordo improved, it was like the old adage that a rising tide raises all boats. All boats. Many of our brothers and sisters do not have easy access to the Traditional Latin Mass or they haven’t yet experienced. They ought…

26th Sunday of Ordinary Time: POST COMMUNION (1)

Sit nobis, Domine, reparatio mentis et corporis caeleste mysterium, ut simus eius in gloria coheredes, cui, mortem ipsius annuntiando, compatimur.
Literal rendering

O Lord, let the heavenly sacramental mystery be for us a restoration of mind and body, so that we may be coheirs in the glory of Him with whom we share suffering by proclaiming His death.

Prayer over the OfferingsOct 1, 2006

26th Sunday of Ordinary Time: SUPER OBLATA (2)

Concede nobis, misericors Deus, ut haec nostra oblatio tibi sit accepta, et per eam nobis fons omnis benedictionis aperiatur.
Literal rendering

Grant to us, O merciful God, that this our sacrificial offering might be acceptable to You, and that through it the fount of every blessing be may opened to us. The central image in the prayer is that of a grace flowing out from God as from a font, a source, almost like living water, that is, water which flows. Look at the movement concepts here. God is identified as merciful. We ask that what we bring to the altar will be acceptable by God’s power, for He is the origin of all blessings. A blessing from God, a sharing of something of Himself with us, is to be given by means of the offering. This sharing and God’s gift…
