Vetus Ordo23rd Sunday after Pentecost — Oct 24, 2027, Nov 12, 2028
Absolve, quaesumus, Domine, tuorum delicta populorum, ut a peccatorum nexibus, quae pro nostra fragilitate contraximus, tua benignitate liberemur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Unloose, O Lord, we implore, the transgressions of Your peoples, so that in Your kindness we may be freed from the bonds of the sins which we committed on account of our weakness.
