WDTPRS – The Collect for the 12th Ordinary Sunday (Novus Ordo): His Name and Holy Fear, Holy Consolation
Novus Ordo12th Sunday of Ordinary Time — Jun 20, 2027, Jun 25, 2028
Sancti nominis tui, Domine, timorem pariter et amorem fac nos habere perpetuum, quia numquam tua gubernatione destituis, quos in soliditate tuae dilectionis instituis.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Of Your Holy Name, O Lord, empower us to possess both a perpetual fear and, in no way less, a love: because You never deprive of Your guidance those whom You ground in the solidity of Your love.
This coming Sunday’s Collect is wonderful to sing! It is stark and lavish, carefully balanced, quintessentially Roman. This week’s Collect, also in 1962 Missale Romanum for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost, was in the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary for the Sunday after the Ascension (Thursday). It is also prayed after the Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.
