29 June – Sts. Peter & Paul: COLLECT
Novus OrdoSaints Peter and Paul, Apostles — Jun 29, 2027, Jun 29, 2028
Deus, qui huius diei venerandam sanctamque laetitiam in apostolorum Petri et Pauli sollemnitate tribuisti, da Ecclesiae tuae eorum in omnibus sequi praeceptum, per quos religionis sumpsit exordium.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, who for the solemnity of the apostles Peter and Paul bestowed the holy and venerable joy of this day, grant to Your Church to follow in all things their instruction through whom she made a beginning of the life of faith.
This Collect is in part inspired by that of the parallel prayer in the 1962 Missale Romanum. However, it seems to be a rather new creation, if not entirely new. There is a usage in late Latin of sumo and exordium which is surely at work here: "to make a beginning".
