WDTPRS – Pentecost: “We can’t read/savor/grasp them without knowing these things.”
Novus OrdoPentecost Sunday — May 16, 2027, Jun 4, 2028
Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere, et de eius semper consolatione gaudere.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant to us, in the same Spirit, to know the things that are right, and to rejoice always in His consolation.
Pentecost Sunday’s Collect is the same as we recite after chanting the Veni, Sancte Spiritus. I am pretty sure that this ancient prayer, from at least the time of the Liber sacramentorum Gellonensis and probably older, survived the Consilium’s expert scalpels to live in the Novus Ordo only as the Collect for a Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit.
