Preces Quotidianae

Preces Quotidianae

...judging ourselves, so that we may not, with the world,1 We are condemned.✦2 When we are cold in prayer and need some grace and heavenly consolation, remember Your Chair, Your Appearing, and Your Intercession.34 When we are overflowing with affection and evil desire, never forget Your terrible and dreadful judgment seat, and let the sound of the last trumpet ring without ceasing in our ears.✦✦ So that for the sake of Your Christ, from You5 Only-begotten of the Father—may we receive Your anointing, the saving grace of the Holy Spirit, Your gift beyond words, in saving compunction, clear knowledge, fervent prayer, and the outpouring✦67 of love.8 May I never quench the Spirit, nor resist Him.✦✦ May I never grieve Him.✦9

Cum fecundi simus in affectu, Et concupiscentia mala, Nunquam oblivisci tremendi Tui Et horrendi tribunalis, et indesinenter auribus nostris insonare sonum tub: ultimze.

Scripture echoes

  1. ↩1Cor.11.32 — But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
  2. ↩1Cor.15.52;1Thess.4.16 — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet—for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 1Thess.4.16 — For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
  3. ↩2Cor.5.10;Rom.14.10 — For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what has been done through the body, whether good or evil. Rom.14.10 — But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
  4. ↩2Cor.9.15 — Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift.
  5. ↩1Thess.5.19 — Do not quench the Spirit.
  6. ↩Acts.7.51 — You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so you do.
  7. ↩Eph.4.30 — And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Notes

  1. 1 ↩Printed line-break fragment: previous section ends 'dijudi-' and this opens 'cantes' = dijudicantes; next section completes with 'condemnemur'.
  2. 2 ↩Fragment only: with the preceding section’s 'ne cum mundo', the full clause is the purpose construction 'ne cum mundo condemnamur' — 'lest we be condemned with the world.' Rendered here as the passive subjunctive alone.
  3. 3 ↩Normalized plausible readings from OCR-like forms: gratie→gratiae; alicujus→alicuius; coelestis→caelestis; Cathedrze→Cathedrae; Tue→Tuae. Meminisse + genitives taken as jussive/infinitive-of-command common in private-devotion lists: 'remember…'.
  4. 4 ↩Cathedrae may mean seat of authority/judgment (Chair/Throne) rather than a specific feast title; Apparitionis may mean epiphany/appearing rather than a named Apparition feast. Kept as capitalized titles matching the source list.
  5. 5 ↩Source is an incomplete clause: 'Ut propter Christum Tuum, a 'Te'. The stray apostrophe before Te is treated as noise for 'a Te' (from You). Neighboring section 5 opens with 'Patre unigenitum, Accipiamus…', so the intended sense is likely continuous: '…from You the Father, the only-begotten…, may we receive…'. Only this printed fragment is rendered here.
  6. 6 ↩Opening 'Patre unigenitum' continues the previous section's 'a Te' and is incomplete on its own; rendered as the only-begotten of/from the Father pending full phrase context.
  7. 7 ↩'Liquida scientia' taken as clear/pure knowledge rather than literal 'liquid knowledge,' per common Latin spiritual usage.
  8. 8 ↩charitatis completes s1's 'Diffusione' (outpouring of charity/love). Defaulted to 'love' per charitas lexeme policy; 'charity' also fit for theological-virtue force.
  9. 9 ↩Source reading Contnster is corrupt/uncertain; rendered from the most plausible correction Contristem/Contrister (from contristare, “to grieve”), continuing the Holy-Spirit petitions of the previous section (cf. Eph 4:30).
