CollectJun 9, 2024

WDTPRS – 3rd Sunday after Pentecost: “As soldiers, traveling through enemy territory…” (NO and VO comparison)

Protector in te sperantium, Deus, sine quo nihil est validum, nihil sanctum: multiplica super nos misericordiam tuam; ut, te rectore, te duce, sic transeamus per bona temporalia, ut non amittamus aeterna.
Literal rendering

O God, protector of those hoping in You, without whom nothing is efficacious, nothing holy, multiply Your mercy upon us, so that, You being our guide and leader, we may pass through temporal goods in such a way that we do not lose the eternal.

In the older, traditional calendar of the Roman Rite, today is the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost. This is a yummy oration. Let’s have a taste. There is a pleasant alliteration in lines 2-3 of the collect. We can find a pair of pairs: nihil validum, nihil sanctum and some great ablative absolutes te rectore, te duce.

Commentary for this day

CollectJul 1, 2023

1 July – Most Precious Blood and the Feasts of St. Junipero Serra and St. Aaron, brother of Moses

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui unigénitum Fílium tuum mundi Redemptórem constituísti, ac eius Sánguine placári voluísti: concéde, quaesumus, salútis nostræ prétium sollémni cultu ita venerári, atque a præséntis vitæ malis eius virtúte deféndi in terris; ut fructu perpétuo lætémur in coelis.

A thought for you: Though we all may be different in height or sex or shape of eye and color of skin, we all bleed the same red Our Savior bled for our sins. Our unifying human blood, divinely infused, courses ruddy within His risen veins, His glorious and still lacerated Sacred Heart!

From 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time

On weekdays without their own proper, the Mass takes the Sunday’s prayers.

CollectJun 20, 2026

WDTPRS – The Collect for the 12th Ordinary Sunday (Novus Ordo): His Name and Holy Fear, Holy Consolation

Sancti nominis tui, Domine, timorem pariter et amorem fac nos habere perpetuum, quia numquam tua gubernatione destituis, quos in soliditate tuae dilectionis instituis.
Literal rendering

Of Your Holy Name, O Lord, empower us to possess both a perpetual fear and, in no way less, a love: because You never deprive of Your guidance those whom You ground in the solidity of Your love.

This coming Sunday’s Collect is wonderful to sing! It is stark and lavish, carefully balanced, quintessentially Roman. This week’s Collect, also in 1962 Missale Romanum for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost, was in the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary for the Sunday after the Ascension (Thursday). It is also prayed after the Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.

Prayer over the OfferingsJun 25, 2006

12th Sunday of Ordinary Time: SUPER OBLATA (2)

Suscipe, Domine, sacrificium placationis et laudis, et praesta, ut, huius operatione mundati, beneplacitum tibi nostrae mentis offeramus affectum.
Literal rendering

Accept, O Lord, the sacrifice of placation and praise, and grant that we, having been cleansed by the religious work of this sacrificial act of offering, may offer you the well-pleasing affection of our minds.

What Does the Prayer Really Say? 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN The Wanderer in 2006 The long time reader of these columns and now frequent participant on the WDTPRS internet blog, our friend HE, wrote to a bishop about liturgical translations and received a response (edited) which he shared: “Thank you for your letter of May 19,…
