Collect: The 16th Sunday




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.
