WDTPRS – 23rd Ordinary Sunday (N.O.): Our perfectly amazing adoption
Novus Ordo23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time — Sep 5, 2027, Sep 10, 2028
Deus, per quem nobis et redemptio venit et praestatur adoptio, filios dilectionis tuae benignus intende, ut in Christo credentibus et vera tribuatur libertas, et hereditas aeterna.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, through whom to us come both redemption and adoption is guaranteed, kindly give attention to your beloved children, so that both true freedom and the inheritance everlasting may be bestowed on those believing in Christ.
The Collect for the 23rd Ordinary Sunday – this Sunday – was not in any pre-Conciliar edition of the Roman Missal, but it was in the 8th century Gelasian Sacramentary in a section for evening prayers during Paschaltide. You have to wonder how they – the cutting and pasting experts – made these decisions. Right?
