Vetus OrdoAscension of Our Lord — May 6, 2027, May 25, 2028
Praesta nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens et misericors Deus: ut, quae visibilibus mysteriis sumenda percepimus, invisibili consequamur effectu.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Grant us, we implore, almighty and merciful God: that we may obtain by an invisible effect that which we grasped by means of visible sacramental mysteries.
I was struck today by the beauty of the Communion rite today, the Communion Antiphone and the Post Communion prayer in older, traditional form of Holy Mass today, for the Feast of the Ascension… which falls 40 days after Easter. The Mass texts from the Feast of the Ascension can be used for the feria days that follow.
