O Oriens, splendor lucis aeternae, et sol iustitiae: veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris et umbra mortis.We continue our look at the O Antiphons. ENGLISH: O dawn of the east, brightness of light eternal, and sun of justice: come, and enlighten those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. The shedding of light frees us from darkness. Again, the subtle note of liberation, deliverance.

Here is the Collect for 21 December. Remember, that in the Novus Ordo, the Last Days of Advent, from 17-24 December, shift in focus in the Collects to images of light and glory, moving the listener to attend to the great mystery about to be celebrated. The prayers are in substance from the ancient Rotulus of Ravenna.

On weekdays without their own proper, the Mass takes the Sunday’s prayers.
Aurem tuam, quaesumus, Domine, precibus nostris accommoda: et mentis nostrae tenebras, gratia tuae visitationis illustra.O Lord, lend your ear to our prayers, we beseech you, and by the grace of your visitation, illuminate the shadows of our mind.
This Sunday’s nickname, “Gaudete” means “Rejoice!” Gaudete, an imperative of gaudeo and the first word of the Introit chant, sets the theme in the Novus Ordo and the older, Traditional Mass: joy. Advent is not strictly a penitential season the way Lent is. Since Advent is about Lord’s Second Coming, not just His joyful First at Bethlehem, we also prepare…

Deus, qui conspicis populum tuum nativitatis dominicae festivitatem fideliter exspectare, praesta, quaesumus, ut valeamus ad tantae salutis gaudia pervenire, et ea votis sollemnibus alacri laetitia celebrare.O God, who attentively watch Your people look forward faithfully to the feast of the Lord’s birth, grant, we entreat, that we may be able to attain the to joys of so great a salvation and celebrate them with eager jubilation in solemn annual festive rites.
Our rose set for Sung Masses on Gaudete and Laetare when we have an Asperges. DONATE We are coming to the 3rd Sunday of Advent, also nicknamed Gaudete…. the plural imperative of gaudeo, “Rejoice!”, the first word of the Introit chant. This Sunday there is a relaxation of the penitential aspect of Advent, just Laetare Sunday does during Lent.

Tuam, Domine, clementiam imploramus, ut haec divina subsidia, a vitiis expiatos, ad festa ventura nos praeparent.O God, who attentively does watch Your people look forward faithfully to the feast of the Lord’s birth, grant, we entreat, that we may be able to attain to the joys of so great a salvation and celebrate them with eager jubilation in solemn festive rites. ANOTHER VERSION: O God, who look upon your people awaiting in faith the feast of the Lord’s birth, strengthen us, we pray, to reach the joys of so great a salvation, and to celebrate them always with solemn worship and glad rejoicing. ICEL (1973 translation of the 1970MR): Lord God, may we, your people, who look forward to the birthday of Christ experience the joy of salvation and celebrate that feast with love and…
Let’s have a look at the prayers for Holy Mass with the 2002 Missale Romanum. In the print version of the WDTPRS in The Wanderer we are examining the prayers for the 1962 Missale. For those of you who want to hear the prayers in Latin in the 1962 Missale, you can go here: PRAYERCAzT 13: “Gaudete” Sunday, the 3rd…

ICEL (1973 translation of the 1970MR): Lord, may the gift we offer in faith and love be a continual sacrifice in your honor and truly become our eucharist and our salvation. I guess, you can’t object to what the ICEL prayer says all in all, except for the fact that it doesn’t translate what the Latin really says. Notice that ICEL made Latin devotio, that single-minded dedication, into “faith and love.” They ought to have simply said “devotion”, but that…
