WDTPRS – 14th Sunday after Pentecost: God gives us the finger
Vetus Ordo14th Sunday after Pentecost — Aug 22, 2027, Sep 10, 2028
Custodi, Domine, quaesumus, Ecclesiam tuam propitiatione perpetua: et quia sine te labitur humana mortalitas; tuis semper auxiliis et abstrahatur a noxiis, et ad salutaria dirigatur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Guard your Church, we beseech You, O Lord, with perpetual favor and, since without You our mortal flesh slides toward ruin, by means of your helping remedies let it be pulled back from injuries and be guided unto saving healths.
Working up a translation of a liturgical text is many layered. For many years I wrote a weekly column comparing the Latin and the translations. This blog was born of that effort, for I originally thought that it would be an archive for my columns. HAH!
