The Collects of the past days and weeks have often struck me, but press of time, tiredness and other concerns high and low have kept me from blogging on them; at least I have a chance to-day...
Holy Wednesday's lapidary oration with admirable concision sums up the mystery of Holy Week, indeed, of our salvation:
Præsta, quæsumus, omnipotens Deus: ut, qui nostris excessibus incessanter affligimur, per unigeniti Filii tui passionem liberemur: Qui tecum vivit...(Grant, we beg, almighty God, that we who by our excesses incessantly are afflicted , may by the passion of Thy onlybegotten Son be delivered: Who with Thee liveth...)
