Vetus Ordo5th Sunday after Easter — May 2, 2027, May 21, 2028
Deus, a quo bona cuncta procedunt, largire supplicibus tuis: ut cogitemus, te inspirante, quae recta sunt; et, te gubernante, eadem faciamus.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, from whom all good things issue forth, bountifully grant to Your supplicants, that, You inspiring, we may think things which are right, and, You guiding, we may accomplish the same.
I am going to drag you – again – through my standard and sustained rant about liturgy, punctuated by Latin vocabulary and Neoplatonism. Consider this a different sort of “food post”. I will apply what I rant about to the Collect for this Sunday’s Mass. Hang on for the ride.
