The collect for Pentecost Sunday is very difficult
to translate and I was helped by both Fr. Peter Stravinskas and Lauren Pristas.
Vigil
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui paschále
sacraméntum quinquagínta diérum voluísti mystério continéri, præsta, ut,
géntium facta dispersióne, divisiónes linguárum ad unam confessiónem tui
nóminis cælésti múnere congregéntur.
Almighty, eternal God, who willed that the paschal
mystery be concealed for fifty days, grant that the nations scatted and divided
by language, may by your heavenly gift be gathered into one confession of your
name.
Deus, qui sacramento festivitatis hodiernae universam
Ecclesiam tuam in omni gente et natione sanctificas, in totam mundi latitudinem
Spiritus Sancti dona defunde, et, quod ipsa evangelicae praedicationis exordia operata
est divina dignatio,nunc quoque per credentium corda perfunde.
O God, by the mystery of today’s feast, sanctify
your whole Church in every people and nation, pour out the gifts of the Holy
Spirit upon the whole breadth of the world and what divine condescension
accomplished in the first preaching of the Gospel may now also be poured into
the hearts of believers.
