Respice, Domine, familiam tuam, et praesta, ut apud te mens nostra tuo desiderio fulgeat, quae se corporalium moderatione castigat.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Look up Your family, O Lord, and grant, that our soul, which is checking itself by means of moderation of corporal things may shine in Your sight with Your longing.
COLLECT Respice, Domine, familiam tuam, et praesta, ut apud te mens nostra tuo desiderio fulgeat, quae se corporalium moderatione castigat. Today’s prayer was in the 1962 Missale Romanum and, long before that, in the so-called ancient "Gregorian Sacramentary". This has been adapted for the Novus Ordo, however. More about that later.
