WDTPRS: Wednesday 2nd Week of Lent – Post communionem (2002MR)
EM (2002MR): Quaesumus, Domine Deus noster, ut, quod nobis ad immortalitatis pignus esse voluisti, ad salutis aeternae tribuas provenire suffragium.Literal rendering
We beseech, O Lord our God, that, what You desired to be for us unto the pledge of immortality, You may grant to turn out to be unto the favorable support of eternal salvation.
We continue our project of looking at the Post communions of Lent: Wednesday – 2nd Week of Lent This prayer was in the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary. The noun pignus is “a pledge, gage, pawn, security, mortgage (of persons as well as things).” The root of this word is pac, as in the verb pango, panxi, panctum, and pegi or pepigi,…

Hostias, Domine, quas tibi offerimus, propitius intuere, et, per haec sancta commercia, vincula peccatorum nostrorum absolve.Literal rendering
O Lord, gratiously regard the offerings which we are offering to You, and, through these holy exchanges, loose the chains of our sins.
We continue our Lenten journey through the prayers of Holy Mass with today’s SUPER OBLATA: Hostias, Domine, quas tibi offerimus, propitius intuere, et, per haec sancta commercia, vincula peccatorum nostrorum absolve. Commercium is a loaded word. It means "exchange". It has a theological, not a mercantile sense, of course. Bread and wine were chosen by God, from all gifts He…

Conserva, Domine, familiam tuam bonis semper operibus eruditam, et sic praesentibus consolare praesidiis, ut propitius ad superna dona perducas.Literal rendering
Preserve unharmed, O Lord, Your family of servants, having been brought out of wildness into state of cultivation by and for good works, always, and encourage it with helps close at hand in such a way that You graciously conduct it through all the way to heavenly gifts.
COLLECT Conserva, Domine, familiam tuam bonis semper operibus eruditam, et sic praesentibus consolare praesidiis, ut propitius ad superna dona perducas. The verb conservo is "to retain, keep something in existence, to hold up, maintain, to preserve, leave unhurt or safe". Erudio is a fun word. It means "to polish, educate, instruct, teach" but in its roots it means "to free…

WDTPRS – 2nd Sunday of Lent (NO): a more perfect “view”
Deus, qui nobis dilectum Filium tuum audire praecepisti, verbo tuo interius nos pascere digneris, ut, spiritali purificato intuitu, gloriae tuae laetemur aspectu.Literal rendering
O God, who commanded us to listen to Your beloved Son, deign to nourish us interiorly with Your word, so that, once (our) spiritual view has been purified, we may rejoice in the sight of Your glory.
Here is the Collect of the 2nd Sunday of Lent, a new composition for the Novus Ordo based on a precedent in the Liber Mozarabicus Sacramentorum: Used by early Latin writers such as Sts. Hilary of Poitiers (+c 368), Ambrose (+397) and in liturgical texts, gloria is more than fame or splendor of appearance. Our Latin liturgical gloria is the…

WDTPRS – 2nd Sunday of Lent – “Prayer over the people” (2002MR)
Benedic, Domine fideles tuos benedictione perpetua, et fac eos Unigeniti tui Evangelio sic adhaerere, ut ad illam gloriam, cuius in se speciem Apostolis ostendit, et suspirare iugiter et feliciter valeant pervenire.Literal rendering
Bless Your faithful, O Lord, with an everlasting benediction and make them so to cling to the Gospel of Your Only-Begotten that they may be able to long for always and happily to attain unto that glory whose beauty He showed to the Apostles in Himself. This wonderful plea for your sake on the part of the priest, which I hope you might hear someday with your heads bowed unto God, connects us back to the moment of the Transfiguration about which we were instructed in the Gospel for today’s Holy Mass.
In the 2002 edition of the Missale Romanum the traditional Lenten “Prayer over the people” has been revived. It can be used now in Latin. ORATIO SUPER POPULUM: Benedic, Domine fideles tuos benedictione perpetua, et fac eos Unigeniti tui Evangelio sic adhaerere, ut ad illam gloriam, cuius in se speciem Apostolis ostendit, et suspirare iugiter et feliciter valeant pervenire.

ORATIO SUPER POPULUM (2002MR): Benedic, Domine, fideles tuos benedictione perpetua, et fac eos Unigeniti tui Evangelio sic adhaerere, ut ad illam gloriam, cuius in se speciem Apostolis ostendit, et suspirare iugiter et feliciter valeant pervenire.Literal rendering
Let this sacrificial offering cleanse our sins, we beg, O Lord, and let it sanctify the bodies and minds of Thy faithful for celebrating the paschal feasts. Humans are not angels. We have both body and soul. The bond between body and soul is so great that when the one is separated from the other we die. But so powerful is that bond that our soul awaits the moment when it will once again (using philosophical language) inform matter which is our body. We will arise from the dust from which we were formed. Some will rise to the unending happiness of heaven, some to perpetual damnation of hell. Our eternal destiny is determined by our state of soul at…

Haec hostia, Domine, quaesumus, emundet nostra delicta, et ad celebranda festa paschalia fidelium tuorum corpora mentesque sanctificet.Literal rendering
