The collect for Lent IV is a mishmash of sources
and sources misapplied. See Lauren Pristas.
Deus, qui per Verbum tuum humáni géneris
reconciliatiónem mirabíliter operáris, præsta, quæsumus, ut pópulus christiánus
prompta devotióne et álacri fide ad ventúra sollémnia váleat festináre.
Deus, qui per Verbum tuum humáni géneris reconciliatiónem mirabíliter operáris, præsta, quæsumus,
From Gelasianum
Vetus 178 Wednesday after Lent II
ut pópulus christiánus . . . prompta devotióne et álacri fide
ut pópulus christiánus . . . prompta devotióne et álacri fide
From St Leo
the Great, Sermon Lent II
Interestingly enough what is not picked up in the sources is the necessity of fasting. Perhaps this is a misguided attempt to give a nod to Laetare Sunday.
O God, who through your Word do wondrously work the reconciliation of the human race, grant, we beseech you, that the Christian people with prompt devotion and ready faith may be able to hasten to the coming solemnity.
