This collect is not found in the Roman liturgy
before the 20th Century, but comes from Sacramentarium Bergomense,
the Liturgy of Northern Italy, transmitted in a 9th Century
manuscript, which reflects the early usage of the Ambrosian Liturgy.
Propitiare, Domine, famulis tuis, et clementer
gratiae tuae super eos dona multiplica,
ut, spe, fide, et caritate ferventes, semper in mandatis tuis vigili custodia
perseverent.
Be gracious, O Lord, to your servants, and
mercifully multiply upon them the gifts of your grace, that fervent in faith,
hope and love, they may ever persevere vigilantly in keeping your commandments.
