XXIV. Fourth Sunday after the Octaves of Easter, Prayer
XXIV. Dominica quarta post octavas Paschae, Oratio. Amen amen dico vobis, si quid petieritis, etc. 1. Domine Jesu Christe, qui propter imperfectionem intellectus nostri in proverbiis locutus es nobis, et quia propter imperfectionem affectus nostri usque modo non petivimus quidquid in nomine tuo: doce nos orare in nomine tuo quod est Jesus, salus, sapientia, et veritas, et vita, potius quam in nomine Jesu filii Nave Sirach Josedec: ut det nobis Spiritum bonum, rectum, sanctum, et principalem: det piscem fidei, ovum spei, et panem charitatis: ut gaudium plenum sit de essentiali et spirituali bono. Deus Pater adimpleat irascibilem potentia et gloria, Filius rationalem sapientia et veritate, Spiritus sanctus concupiscibilem amore et bonitate. Amen.
XXIV. Fourth Sunday after the Octaves of Easter, Prayer. Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask anything, etc. 1. Lord Jesus Christ, who because of the imperfection of our understanding have spoken to us in proverbs, and because because of the imperfection of our affection we have not until now asked anything in your name: teach us to pray in your name, which is Jesus, salvation, wisdom, and truth, and life, rather than in the name of Jesus the son of Nave, Sirach, Josedec, so that he may give us the good, right, holy, and principal Spirit; may he give the fish of faith, the egg of hope, and the bread of charity, so that joy may be full concerning the essential and spiritual good. May God the Father fill the irascible power with power and glory, the Son the rational power with wisdom and truth, the Holy Spirit the concupiscible power with love and goodness. Amen.
