DIEBUS SALTEM DOMINICIS – 19th Sunday after Pentecost: You might not have a tomorrow.

Indue me, Domine, novum hominem, qui secundum Deum creatus est in iustitia et sanctitate veritatis. Amen.

When this Sunday comes around, with its snappy Collect, I am minded of the early 4th c. martyr St. Expeditus. Here is the Latin and my own slavishly literal version. You spotted “expediti” of course, in this prayers clearly military language. This is from expedio, “to extricate, disengage, let loose, free up from impediments, liberate any thing entangled.” When applied…

WDTPRS Collect 19th Sunday after Pentecost- “Why did God make you?”

Omnipotens et misericors Deus, universa nobis adversantia propitiatus exclude: ut mente et corpore pariter expediti, quae tua sunt, liberis mentibus exsequamur.
Literal rendering

Almighty and merciful God, having been appeased, keep away all things opposing us, so that, having been unencumbered in mind and body equally, we may with free minds accomplish the things which You command.

The snippers and stitchers of the Consilium allowed this Sunday’s prayer to survive unscathed in the post-Conciliar editions of the Missale Romanum. The Collect still echoes the ancient sentiments of Holy Church wherever the Roman Rite’s Ordinary Use of Holy Mass is offered in Latin on the 32nd Sunday of Ordinary Time.

WDTPRS 19th Sunday after Pentecost: SECRET – saving and healing

Haec munera quaesumus, Domine, quæ oculis tuae maiestatis offerimus, salutaria nobis esse concede.
Literal rendering

We beseech You, O Lord, grant that these gifts which we are offering in the sight of Your majesty, are for us saving things. SMOOTHER:

Today’s Secret for the 19th Sunday after Pentecost was in ancient versions of the Gelasian Sacramentary, such as the 8th c. Gellonensis. I don’t think it survived the scissors of the Consilium, wielded by Fr. Bugnini’s liturgical experts. In prayers which stress propitiation we will often have looking words or imagery. For example, we get orations with the gentle imperative…

WDTPRS – 28th Ordinary Sunday (Novus Ordo): Authentic “walking together”

Tua nos, quaesumus, Domine, gratia semper et praeveniat et sequatur, ac bonis operibus iugiter praestet esse intentos.
Literal rendering

We beg, O Lord, that Your grace may always both go before and follow after us, and hence continuously keep us intent upon good works.

One of my “classic” WDTPRS posts, but appropriate given all the gas right now about “walking together”. This is about God’s walking together with us in the deepest sense… the one which can bring us to salvation instead of virtue signaling. The elegant Collect for the 28th Ordinary Sunday has been used for centuries on the 16th Sunday after Pentecost…

28th Sunday of Ordinary Time: POST COMMUNION (1)

Maiestatem tuam, Domine, suppliciter deprecamur, ut, sicut nos Corporis et Sanguinis sacrosancti pascis alimento, ita divinae naturae facias esse consortes.
Literal rendering

We suppliantly beseech your majesty, O Lord, that, just as you feed us now upon the provisions of the most holy Body and Blood, just so you may make us to be the partakers of the divine nature.

28th Sunday of Ordinary Time: SUPER OBLATA (2)

Suscipe, Domine, fidelium preces cum oblationibus hostiarum, ut, per haec piae devotionis officia, ad caelestem gloriam transeamus.
Literal rendering

Take up, O Lord, the prayers of the faithful with offerings of sacrificial victims so that, through these services of dutiful devotedness, we may pass over unto heavenly glory. In 1985 the Association for English Worship (AEW) made a booklet with some possible translations, comparing them to the ICEL version. For the most part the AEW provides a …
