WDTPRS – – 17th Sunday after Pentecost – Diabolical Contagion
Vetus Ordo17th Sunday after Pentecost — Sep 12, 2027, Oct 1, 2028
Da, quaesumus, Domine, populo tuo diabolica vitare contagia: et te solum Deum pura mente sectari.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Grant, O Lord, unto Your people, to shun diabolical contamination: and with a pure soul to follow You, the only God.
Is this prayer appropriate today or what?!? It seems to me that we can see what we are praying against at nearly every level of the Church today. Some are witless about it, others are witting. Among the witting, some are unwilling and others most willing.
