Adesto, Domine, supplicibus tuis, et spem suam in tua misericordia collocantes tuere propitius, ut, a peccatorum labe mundati, in sancta conversatione permaneant, et promissionis tuae perficiantur haeredes.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Be present, O Lord, to Your humble petitioners, and graciously protect those placing their hope in Your mercy, so that, cleansed from the stain of sins, they may persevere to the end in holy manner of living and as the heirs of Your promise be brought to perfection.
This prayer was not in a pre-Conciliar edition of the Missale Romanum, but a prayer from the Veronese Sacramentary in the month of September, a fast time, it was altered by The Redactors, for the Novus Ordo. The Veronese has et consequentes sufficientiam temporalem promissionis tuae perficiantur heredes.
