WDTPRS: 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time – When “virtues” are replaced by “values”.
Novus Ordo21st Sunday of Ordinary Time — Aug 22, 2027, Aug 27, 2028
Deus, qui fidelium mentes unius efficis voluntatis, da populis tuis id amare quod praecipis, id desiderare quod promittis, ut, inter mundanas varietates, ibi nostra fixa sint corda, ubi vera sunt gaudia.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, who make the minds of the faithful to be of one will, grant unto Your people to love that thing which You command, to desire that which You promise, so that, amidst the vicissitudes of this world, our hearts may there be fixed where true joys are.
Let’s look at the Collect for the 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time: A master crafted this prayer. In the 1962 Missale Romanum we use it on the 4th Sunday after Easter. It is also in the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary. Listen to those “eee”s produced by the Latin “i”. Savor those parallels.
