V\u00e5kn opp! Hvorfor sover du, Herre? V\u00e5kn opp, forkast oss ikke for alltid! Hvorfor skjuler du ditt ansikt, hvorfor glemmer du v\u00e5r n\u00f8d og v\u00e5r trengsel? V\u00e5r sjel er b\u00f8yd i st\u00f8vet, v\u00e5r kropp ligger trykket til jorden. Reis deg og kom oss til hjelp, fri oss ut for din trofasthets skyld!<\/i> Salme 44,24-27 (43. 23-26)<\/p>\n
I Den katolske Kirkes gamle kalender feirer vi i dag s\u00f8ndag seksagesima, som tilh\u00f8rer f\u00f8rfaste-perioden – som ble tatt helt bort i kalenderen fra 1969. Men denne dagen kalles fortsatt ‘s\u00e5mannss\u00f8ndagen’ i Den norske kirke, pga av det tradisjonelle evangeliet fra Lukas 8, 4-15 (Lignelsen om s\u00e5mannen):
\nMye folk str\u00f8mmet n\u00e5 til fra byene omkring. Da en stor mengde hadde samlet seg om ham, fortalte han en lignelse: \u00abEn mann gikk ut for \u00e5 s\u00e5 kornet sitt. Og da han s\u00e5dde, falt noe ved veien; det ble tr\u00e5kket ned, og fuglene under himmelen kom og tok det. Noe falt p\u00e5 steingrunn, og det visnet straks det kom opp, fordi det ikke fikk v\u00e6te. Noe falt blant tornebusker, og tornebuskene vokste opp sammen med det og kvalte det. Men noe falt i god jord, og det vokste opp og bar frukt, hele hundre foll.\u00bb Da han hadde sagt dette, ropte han ut: \u00abDen som har \u00f8rer \u00e5 h\u00f8re med, h\u00f8r!\u00bb<\/p>\n
Disiplene spurte ham hva denne lignelsen betydde. Han svarte: \u00abDere er det gitt \u00e5 kjenne Guds rikes hemmeligheter. Men de andre f\u00e5r det i lignelser, for at de skal se, men ikke skjelne, og h\u00f8re, men ikke skj\u00f8nne. Lignelsen skal tydes slik: S\u00e5kornet er Guds ord. De ved veien er de som h\u00f8rer det, men s\u00e5 kommer djevelen og tar ordet bort fra deres hjerte, for at de ikke skal tro og bli frelst. De p\u00e5 steingrunn er de som tar imot ordet med glede n\u00e5r de h\u00f8rer det. Men de har ingen rot og tror bare en tid; n\u00e5r de blir satt p\u00e5 pr\u00f8ve, faller de fra. Det som falt blant tornebusker, er de som nok h\u00f8rer ordet, men p\u00e5 sin vei gjennom livet kveles de av bekymringer og rikdom og nytelser, s\u00e5 de ikke b\u00e6rer fullmoden frukt. Men det i den gode jord, det er de som h\u00f8rer ordet og tar vare p\u00e5 det i et fint og godt hjerte, s\u00e5 de holder ut og b\u00e6rer frukt.<\/i><\/p>\n
Dagens kollektb\u00f8nn lyder slik: Deus, qui conspicis, quia ex nulla nostra actione confidimus: concede propitius; ut, contra adversa omnia, Doctoris gentium protectione muniamur. Per Duminum nostrum …. <\/b> Og Father Z. skriver videre om denne dagen: According to the traditional Roman calendar, this is the second of the Sundays in \u201cpre-Lent\u201d, called Sexagesima, as in the Latin for the \u201cSixtieth\u201d day before Easter. This number is more symbolic than arithmetical. Last week was the first of these pre-Lenten Sundays, Septuagesima or \u201cSeventieth. The Latin term for the whole of Lent Quadragesima is \u201cFortieth\u201d. The pre-Lenten Sundays prepare us for the discipline of Lent, which once was far stricter. Purple is worn rather than the green of the season after Epiphany and there is a Tract instead of an Alleluia. The prayers and readings for the pre-Lenten Sundays were compiled by St. Gregory the Great (+604). In the Novus Ordo of Paul VI there is no more pre-Lent, which was a real loss.<\/p>\n Since this is a special year dedicated in honor of St. Paul, and the Station for today is St. Paul\u2019s Basilica \u201coutside the walls\u201d, and since the prayers are relatively short today, we can take a look at all three orations.<\/p>\n The Collect or \u201cOpening Prayer\u201d as it is sometimes called in the post-Conciliar way of thinking, is found in ancient manuscripts of the so-called Gelasian Sacramentary, namely the 9th century Liber Sacramentorum Augustodunensis and also the L.S. Engolmensis. This is a very interesting and ancient prayer, in that it makes explicit reference to St. Paul, the Doctor of the Gentiles.<\/p>\n COLLECT: This prayer didn\u2019t survive in any form to live in the Novus Ordo. Sometimes the snipping gluing experts of the Consilium would deign to allow ancient prayers to be prayed as the third option for some never-used votive Mass. Not this time. It can\u2019t even be found as an alternate for any feast or Mass of St. Paul, whom the prayer explicitly names.<\/p>\n The jam-packed Lewis & Short Dictionary informs us that conspicio means \u201cto look at attentively\u201d. In the passive, it is \u201cto attract attention, to be conspicuous\u201d. Conspicio is a compound of \u201ccvm\u2026with\u201d and *specio (the * indicates a theoretical form of a verb, of which we have no examples in ancient literature) which has to do with perception. The useful French dictionary of liturgical Latin we call Blaise\/Dumas says that conspicio refers to God\u2019s \u201cregard\u201d, presumably because God \u201csees\u201d all things \u201ctogether\u201d.<\/p>\n The last word here is from munio, which is \u201cto build a wall around, to fortify, \u2026protect; strengthen, support\u201d.<\/p>\n LITERAL TRANSLATION: The Roman Station today is the Major Basilica of St. Paul \u201coutside the walls\u201d. Few prayers of the Roman Missal display such an obvious connection with the place the Mass was celebrated in Rome and the readings, though in the Station Masses it is not rare to have oblique connections through some allusion in texts.
