WDTPRS – 5th Sunday after Easter (V.O.): Liturgical goop. Wherein Fr. Z rants.

Deus, a quo bona cuncta procedunt, largire supplicibus tuis: ut cogitemus, te inspirante, quae recta sunt; et, te gubernante, eadem faciamus.
Literal rendering

O God, from whom all good things issue forth, bountifully grant to Your supplicants, that, You inspiring, we may think things which are right, and, You guiding, we may accomplish the same.

I am going to drag you – again – through my standard and sustained rant about liturgy, punctuated by Latin vocabulary and Neoplatonism. Consider this a different sort of “food post”. I will apply what I rant about to the Collect for this Sunday’s Mass. Hang on for the ride.

Literal rendering

Their youthfulness of soul having been renewed, let Your people always rejoice, O God, with the result that he who now rejoices that he was reestablished in the glory of adoption. will long for the day of resurrection with the hope of grateful joy.

There are interesting things to be found in today’s COLLECT: Semper exsultet populus tuus, Deus, renovata animae iuventute, ut, qui nunc laetatur in adoptionis se gloriam restitututm, resurrectionis diem spe certae gratulationis exspectet.

Literal rendering

Almighty God, cause us to celebrate these days of joy, which we are carrying out in honor of the rising Lord with zealous affection, so that we may grasp in deed what we are traversing in remembrance.
