Pentecost Collects



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.
