PODCAzT 40: Eusebius of Vercelli in exile; my column in The Wanderer about detractors of Summorum Pontificum

[display_podcast] In today’s PODCAzT you will hear excerpts of a tender letter (ep. 2) from an exiled St. Eusebius of Vercelli to his flock. I have a rather longer selection of the Latin original this time. Also, I read my latest column for The Wanderer, wherein I hit detractors of Summorum Pontificum pretty hard. 039 St. Augustine on Christ the…

WDTPRS – 10th Sunday after Pentecost (Vetus Ordo): Mercy and Justice are not opposed

Deus, qui omnipotentiam tuam parcendo maxime et miserando manifestas: multiplica super nos misericordiam tuam; ut, ad tua promissa currentes, caelestium bonorum facias esse consortes.
Literal rendering

O God, who manifest Your omnipotence especially by sparing and being merciful, increase Your mercy upon us, [pour Your grace upon us unceasingly, – 2002MR] so that You may make those who are rushing to the things You have promised to be partakers of heavenly benefits.

Symbols of Mercy and Justice on the emblem of the Spanish Inquisition The Collect for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost in the Extraordinary Form survived, sort of survived, to live in the post-Conciliar, reformed Missale Romanum! You can find it, somewhat wounded, for the 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time in the Ordinary Form Missale Romanum. I’ll show you the variation,…

WDTPRS – 19th Ordinary Sunday: Father God, not Stranger God

Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, quem [docente Spiritu Sancto – not in the 1970MR] paterno nomine invocare praesumimus, perfice in cordibus nostris spiritum adoptionis filiorum, ut promissam hereditatem ingredi mereamur.

The Collect for the 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time was not in previous editions Missale Romanum before the 1970 Novus Ordo. It has roots in the 9th century Sacramentary of Bergamo and thus is ancient text. Note that for the 2002 Missale Romanum there was a variation from the 1970MR. In the 2002MR the ablative absolute clause “docente Spiritu Sancto”…

WDTPRS: 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time – COLLECT: sheer audacity

Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, quem paterno nomine invocare praesumimus, perfice in cordibus nostris spiritum adoptionis filiorum, ut promissam hereditatem ingredi mereamur.
Literal rendering

Almighty eternal God, whom we presume to invoke by the name of Father, perfect in our hearts the spirit of the adoption of children, so that we may merit to enter into the inheritance promised. Notice that I translate filii as “children” rather than as just “sons”, according to the literal meaning. Latin masculine plurals, depending on the context, can also include females even though the form of the word is masculine.

Let’s have a look at this daring prayer. The Latin prayer was not in previous editions Missale Romanum before the 1970 Novus Ordo. It has roots in the 9th century Sacramentary of Bergamo and thus is ancient text. Paternus, a, um is an adjective, “fatherly”. Literally, a paternum nomen would be “Fatherly name”. In English we need to break that…

19th Sunday of Ordinary Time: POST COMMUNION

Sacramentorum tuorum, Domine, communio sumpta nos salvet, et in tuae veritatis luce confirmet.
Literal rendering

May the reception of Your sacraments save us, O Lord, and strengthen us in the light of Your truth.

What Does the Prayer Really Say? 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN The Wanderer in 2003 Some feedback is coming in about the possibility of having a Roman WDTPRS pilgrimage of which I spoke last week. HE of TN writes already: “Please sign me up for the first group, the sooner the better. Just set a date, state…

Prayer over the OfferingsAug 13, 2006

19th Sunday of Ordinary Time: SUPER OBLATA (2)

Ecclesiae tuae, Domine, munera placatus assume, quae et misericors offerenda tribuisti, et in nostrae salutis potenter efficis transire mysterium.
Literal rendering

Having been appeased, O Lord, take unto Yourself the gifts of Your Church which You both mercifully bestowed as things to be offered as sacrifices and You are causing mightily to transform into the mysterious sacrament of our salvation.

What Does the Prayer Really Say? 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN The Wanderer in 2006 Those who have been resisting the norms laid down in Liturgiam authenticam appeal to a theory of translation that would peg our liturgical texts to the ever-shifting style of common parlance. They are, in short, impossibly proposing to make everything “understandable” by…
