WDTPRS – Monday 2nd Week of Lent – “Prayer over the people” (2002MR)
Novus OrdoMonday of the 2nd week of Lent — Feb 22, 2027, Mar 13, 2028
ORATIO SUPER POPULUM (2002MR): Confirma, Domine, quaesumus, tuorum corda fidelium, et gratiae tuae virtute corrobora, ut et in tua sint supplicatione devoti, et mutua dilectione sinceri.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Embolden, O Lord, we implore, the hearts of Your faithful, and strengthen them by the power of Your grace, so that they may be devout in your supplication and genuine in mutual love.
In the 2002MR the ancient tradition of a "Prayer over the people" at the end of Mass has been revived. Priests can use it NOW, though in Latin only…. so far. This is a slight variation of a prayer in the ancient Liber sacramentorum Engolismensis, one the versions of the Gelasian. It is probably older.
