WDTPRS – Saturday 2nd Week of Lent – “Prayer over the People” (2002MR)
ORATIO SUPER POPULUM (2002MR): Sacramenti tui, Domine, divina perceptio penetralia nostri cordis infundat, et sui nos participes potenter efficiat.Literal rendering
O Lord, may the divine receiving of Your sacrament pour into the inmost depths of our heart, and may it mightily bring us to be Its participants.
A great new feature of the 2002 Missale Romanum in Latin is that for Lent the "Prayer over the people" or Oratio super populum has been revived as an option. Priests can use this prayer NOW at the end of Mass, but still only in the Latin.

Deus, qui nos gloriosis remediis in terris adhuc positos iam caelestium rerum facis esse consortes, tu, quaesumus, in ista qua vivimus nos vita guberna, ut ad illam, in qua ipse es, lucem perducas.Literal rendering
O God, who are already making us, still set in place upon this earth, to be sharers of heavenly things by means of glorious remedies, let You steer us in this life in which we are living, with the result that, You lead us through unto that light in which You are.
Today’s prayer was not in the 1962MR and its previous editions. This is indeed a Lenten prayer to be found in the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary. In the ancient Veronese, a version was found among the prayers for the September fast: Percepimus, domine, gloriosa mysteria, quibus in terris positos iam caelestium facis esse consortes. Tu inter ista quae uiuimus guberna nos,…

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.

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…
