Preces Quotidianae

Joining the Angelic Chorus

The worshiper joins the angels in the Sanctus, proclaiming the Lord of Hosts and the earth filled with his glory.

And we, humble and unworthy under their feet, with them: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts; all the heavens and all the earth are full of your majesty and glory.✦

The Glory of the Divine Attributes

Blessing the glory of the Lord, the prayer names the ineffable attributes of Godhead, incomprehensibility, loftiness, and the four great works: dominion, omnipotence, eternity, and providence.

Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place—the Godhead, the Incomprehensibility, the Loftiness,12 These four things are: dominion, omnipotence, eternity, and providence.34

The Litany of Divine Titles

A litany of saving titles invokes God as strength, foundation, refuge, deliverer, helper, protector, God, horn of salvation, and protector.

Strength, Foundation, Refuge, Deliverer, Helper, Protector, God, Horn of salvation, Protector.5

Textual Note

A brief textual marker fragment, apparently an editorial remainder, closes the chapter.

Scripture echoes

  1. ↩Isa.6.3 — And one called to another and said, 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the fullness of the earth is his glory.

Notes

  1. 1 ↩Source reading 'glona' is almost certainly a corruption of 'gloria'; translated as 'glory'.
  2. 2 ↩Deitatem, Incomprehensibilitatem, and Celsitudinem are accusatives after a nominative construction (Benedicta sit gloria...); rendered as a continuing litany of divine attributes, which may depend on the following section's Propter-list.
  3. 3 ↩Source ZEternitatem is read as Aeternitatem (Eternity); the leading Z is treated as a typographic/OCR corruption of AE/Æ.
  4. 4 ↩The numeral 4 is taken as a count-marker for the four following titles (Dominion, Omnipotence, Eternity, Providence), not as part of the prayer address itself.
  5. 5 ↩Latin Susceptor is a divine title: one who takes up, upholds, or shelters. Rendered Protector to match common modern psalm/prayer usage; Upholder is also faithful.
  6. 6 ↩Source sentence is only a bare period with no lexical content; left empty rather than inventing wording.
  7. 7 ↩xvin. is not intelligible classical or liturgical Latin; likely OCR/print corruption (possibly a roman numeral or page/signature mark).
  8. 8 ↩1.] appears to be an editorial, footnote, or layout marker rather than prayer text.
