WDTPRS – Saturday 3rd Week of Lent – Prayer over the people (2002MR)
Novus OrdoSaturday of the 3rd week of Lent — Mar 6, 2027
ORATIO SUPER POPULUM (2002MR): Praetende, Domine, fidelibus tuis, dexteram caelestis auxilii, ut te toto corde perquirant, et quae digne postulant consequi mereantur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Stretch forth, O Lord, toward Your faithful the right hand of heavenly aid, so that they might with their whole heart diligently seek You, and may merit to attain the things they worthily require.
A great new feature of the 2002 Missale Romanum in Latin is that for Lent the "Prayer over the people" or Oratio super populum has been revived as an option. Priests can use this prayer NOW at the end of Mass, but still only in the Latin.
