WDTPRS: Last Days of Advent: 21 December – “majesty which transforms us”
Novus OrdoDecember 21 — Dec 21, 2026, Dec 21, 2027, Dec 21, 2028
Preces populi tui, quaesumus, Domine, clementer exaudi, ut, qui de Unigeniti tui in nostra carne adventu laetantur, cum venerit in sua maiestate, aeternae vitae praemium consequantur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Graciously hear the prayers of Your people, we beseech You, O Lord, so that those who are rejoicing about the Coming of Your Only-Begotten in our flesh, may attain the reward of eternal life when He will have come in His majesty.
Here is the Collect for 21 December. Remember, that in the Novus Ordo, the Last Days of Advent, from 17-24 December, shift in focus in the Collects to images of light and glory, moving the listener to attend to the great mystery about to be celebrated. The prayers are in substance from the ancient Rotulus of Ravenna.
