WDTPRS – 1st Sunday of Lent (TLM): our season of transforming mystery

Deus, qui Ecclesiam tuam annua quadragesimali observatione purificas: praesta familiae tuae; ut, quod a te obtinere abstinendo nititur, hoc bonis operibus exsequatur.
Literal rendering

O God, who purify Your Church by means of the annual forty-day Lenten observance: grant to Your family; that, what it strives to obtain from You by abstaining, may be achieved by good works.

With this 1st Sunday of Lent we are fully into our forty day season of purification and preparation. Speaking of forty, the Latin for Lent is Quadragesima, “fortieth”. St Leo the Great (d 461) used the phrase quadragesimale ieiunium, “the Forty Fast”, for Lent. English “Lent” comes from Old English lencten for “spring”.

Commentary for this day

WDTPRS Monday in the 1st Week of Lent (NO)

Converte nos, Deus, salutaris noster, et, ut nobis opus quadragesimale proficiat, mentes nostras caelestibus instrue disciplinis.
Literal rendering

Convert us, O God, our salvation, and instruct our minds by means of heavenly teaching so that the forty day operation may be advantageous for us. I wanted to get a touch of the military under-layer, and so I used “operation” for opus.

There are curiosities in this prayer, even controversial things. COLLECT Converte nos, Deus, salutaris noster, et, ut nobis opus quadragesimale proficiat, mentes nostras caelestibus instrue disciplinis. Today’s prayer comes from the Gelasian Sacramentary in the section for prayers from the 10th month, a time when there was a fast (think of the penitential character of Advent), but it was slightly…

WDTPRS: Monday 1st Week of Lent – Post communionem (2002MR)

EM (2002MR): Sentiamus, Domine, quaesumus, tui perceptione sacramenti, subsidium mentis et corporis, ut, in utroque salvati, de caelestis remedii plenitudine gloriemur.
Literal rendering

May we sense, O Lord, we beseech You, by this taking in of the Sacrament, the support of mind and body, so that, having been saved in both, we may vaunt in the fullness of the heavenly remedy. What pops out for me is that stark in utroque salvati… saved in both body and soul.

We continue our project of looking at the Post communions of Lent: Monday 1st Week of Lent This prayer is ancient, found in the Veronese Sacramentary in the month of July. It is in the Liber sacramentorum Engolismensis and Gellonensis, variations of the Gelasian. We have sensing verbs: sentio… perceptio.

WDTPRS – 1st Sunday of Lent (N.O.): our season of transforming mystery

Concede nobis, omnipotens Deus, ut, per annua quadragesimalis exercitia sacramenti, et ad intellegendum Christi proficiamus arcanum, et effectus eius digna conversatione sectemur.
Literal rendering

Grant to us, Almighty God, that, through the annual exercises of the forty-day Lenten mystery, we may both make progress in understanding the hidden dimension of Christ and imitate the consequences by worthy conduct of life.

The Roman Station for the 1st Sunday of Lent is St. John Lateran. COLLECT – LATIN TEXT (2002MR): Quadragesima is the Latin word for the season of Lent, literally “fortieth” (from quadraginta “forty”) for the fortieth weekday before Easter (Ash Wednesday). In Souter’s A Glossary of Later Latin to 600 A.D., we find quadragesimalis is the adjective form for “forty”…

Caelesti pane refecti, quo fides alitur, spes provehitur et caritas roboratur, quaesumus, Domine, ut ipsum, qui est panis vivus et verus, esurire discamus, et in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore tuo, vivere valeamus.

Having been renewed by heavenly bread, by which faith is nourished, hope advanced and charity strengthened, we entreat You, O Lord, that we may learn to hunger for Him who is bread living and true, and that we may be able to live by every word which proceeds from Your mouth.
