WDTPRS – 15th Sunday after Pentecost: Is the Church is taking on water, sinking?
Vetus Ordo15th Sunday after Pentecost — Aug 29, 2027, Sep 17, 2028
Ecclesiam tuam, Domine, miseratio continuata mundet et muniat: et quia sine te non potest salva consistere; tuo semper munere gubernetur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Let Your continuous compassion, cleanse and defend Your Church, O Lord, and because without You she cannot stand to, safe, may she forever by Your favor be steered.
For the last few years I’ve had a terrible inkling that the Church hit an iceberg and is taking on water faster than it can be pumped. It has ever been so, in cycles, since the Lord’s Ascension. The Church will not sink, capsize or founder.
