WDTPRS Monday 4th Week of Lent – Oratio super populum
Novus OrdoMonday of the 4th week of Lent — Mar 8, 2027, Mar 27, 2028
ORATIO SUPER POPULUM: Plebem tuam, Domine, quaesumus, interius exteriusque restaura, ut quam corporeis non vis delectationibus impedire, [sic – ALARM BELLS!] spiritali facias vigere proposito.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Restore Your people, O Lord, we beg, inwardly and outwardly, so that that (people) which You do not desire to be entangled in corporeal delectations, You may cause to thrive by a spiritual course of life.
The 3rd edition of the Missale Romanum restored the Lenten “Prayer over the people”. I haven’t given them much play this Lent so far, even though this is the first year that they are used in English because of the new, corrected ICEL translation. I could look at them more frequently if people are interested.
