WDTPRS – Ember Friday in Lent – (1962MR)

Per huius, Domine, operationem mysterii, et vitia nostra purgentur, et iusta desideria compleantur.
Literal rendering

Through the working of this mystery/sacrament, O Lord, both let our sins be purged, and let our righteous desires be fulfilled.

This is Ember Week in Lent. I had a PODCAzT which spoke about Ember Days. During the week after the 1st Sunday of Lent we observe the Ember Days of Lent. “Ember” derives from Anglo-Saxon ymbren, “a circuit or revolution (from ymb, “around”, and rennen, “to run”), the annual wheel of the sun.”

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 Friday of the 1st Week of Lent (2002MR)

Da, quaesumus, Domine, fidelibus tuis observationi paschali convenienter aptari, ut suscepta sollemniter castigatio corporalis cunctis ad fructum proficiat animarum.
Literal rendering

We beseech (You), O Lord, grant to Your faithful to be interiorly disposed for the paschal observance in the fitting way, so that the stern bodily correcting which has been solemnly undertaken may be advantageous for all unto the intended fruitful benefit of souls. Think of the Gospel phrase, “you know a tree from its fruit”. The tree produces something of value by which it can be judged. The tree is apt for the sake of a good outcome, a reason to be. The tree is suitable for its final goal, its purpose for existing, when it bears fruit which is destined for our enjoyment. This is more than just use, since it points to the proper end, the good…

In the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary today’s Collect was used on the Friday after Quinquagesima. I assume it was dragged into Lent because of the themes present in the vocabulary. However, the redactors of the Novus Ordo made a substitution. They substituted observatio for ieiunium. In the so-called Veronese Sacramentary, also revealing ancient Roman usage, we have interesting differences. In the…

WDTPRS – Friday 1st Week of Lent – Prayer over the People (2002MR)

PRAYER OVER THE PEOPLE: Respice, Domine, propitius ad plebem tuam, ut quod eius observantia profitetur extrinsecus, interius operetur.

Here is the Oratio super Populum which may be used NOW (in Latin) after Holy Mass. Each day in Lent in the Ordinary Form now has this revived tradition according to the 2002MR which is, now, the edition of the Missal in force for the Ordinary Form.

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

EM Tui nos, Domine, sacramenti refectio sancta restauret, et, a vetustate purgatos, in mysterii salutaris faciat transire consortium.
Literal rendering

May the holy refreshment of Your Sacrament restore us, O Lord, and, let it bring us, having been cleansed of the old state of being, over into the sharing of the saving mystery.

We continue our project of looking at the Post communions of Lent: Friday – 1st Week of Lent This prayer was more or less the Postcommunio on the 1st Sunday in Lent in the 1962MR. Changes were made. It is an ancient prayer, however, to be found in various manuscripts of the Gelasian and Gregorian sacramentaries. The ancient form, however,…

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”…

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.
