L. Twenty-Second Sunday after the Feast of Trinity, Prayer
L. Dominica vicesima secunda post festum Trinitatis, Oratio. Assimilatum est regnum caelorum homini regi qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis 1. Domine Jesu Christe, cui debitores sumus ex facto proprio et alieno, bono vel malo, et jure naturali et divino, ex naturali simul et humana constitutione; doce strictam et frequentem nobiscum, et cum ministris tuis confessoribus in praesenti facere computationem; ut in futuro quando personaliter rationem ponere volueris cum servis tuis, dimittas decem millia ingratuitorum operum nobis, qui dimittimus proximis nostris centum denarios naturalium actionum. Amen.
L. Twenty-Second Sunday after the Feast of Trinity, Prayer. The kingdom of heaven has been likened to a man, a king, who wished to settle account with servants 1. Lord Jesus Christ, to whom we are debtors from our own and another's deed, good or evil, and by natural and divine right, from natural and also human constitution: teach us to make a strict and frequent accounting with ourselves and with your ministers, confessors, in the present, so that in the future, when you will have wished personally to settle account with your servants, you may forgive us ten thousand of ungracious works, we who forgive our neighbors a hundred denarii of natural actions. Amen.
