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”.

WDTPRS: Thursday in the 1st Week of Lent

Largire nobis, quaesumus, Domine, semper spiritum cogitandi quae recta sunt, promptius et agendi, ut, qui sine te esse non possumus, secundum te vivere valeamus.
Literal rendering

We beg you, O Lord, bestow upon us the spirit of thinking always things which are correct, and of carrying them out promptly, so that we who are not able to exist without You may be able to live according to Your will. In St. Augustine’s commentaries on the Gospel of John (Io. eu. tr. 51,3):

Today’s prayer is unchanged from the Veronese Sacramentary and the Gelasian and so-called “Gregorian“. It was in the 1962 Missale Romanum too. It was the used on the 8th Sunday after Pentecost. I cannot fathom why the redactors of the Novus Ordo thought there were not enough ancient lenten prayers in the available venerable sacramentaries. I wasn’t consulted.

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

Quaesumus, Domine, Deus noster, ut sacrosancta mysteria, quae pro reparationis nostrae munimine contulisti, et praesens nobis remedium esse facias et futurum.
Literal rendering

We beseech You, O Lord, our God, that the most holy sacramental mysteries which You conferred as the rampart of our renewal, you will cause to both a present and a future remedy.

We continue our project of looking at the Post communions of Lent: Thursday – 1st Week of Lent Keep in mind that we are also in the context of Ember Week, though that is not a Novus Ordo phenomenon. This prayer was in the 1962 Missale Romanum on Saturday of Ember Week in Advent. It is an ancient prayer, as…

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”…
