Preces Quotidianae
Prayer of Redemption and Doxology
A prayer recounting God's redemptive work through Christ and concluding with a doxology to God's name.
And of repentance that leads to life; and in the fullness of time you sent your Christ himself, so that he might take hold of Abraham's seed, and in the offering of his life fulfill the obedience of the law, and in the sacrifice of his death bear its curse—and by his death redeem the world, and by his resurrection give it life; you who do all things so that you might bring our race back to yourself, and so that it might become a partaker of your divine nature and a sharer in eternal glory; you who have borne witness to the truth of your Gospel by many and various mighty works—by the always-memorable way of life of your saints, by their wonderful endurance of torments, by the astonishing conversion of the whole world to the obedience of faith, with no intervention of arms, eloquence, or force. May it be blessed, praised, celebrated, magnified, highly exalted, glorified, and sanctified✦✦✦12 Your name,

Scripture echoes
- ↩Acts.14.27 — When they had arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
- ↩Gal.4.4 — But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
- ↩2Pet.1.4 — Through these he has granted to us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
Notes
- 1 ↩Normalized several OCR-corrupt forms in the witness: peenitentiz→pœnitentiæ; Abrahe→Abrahæ; tuz/nature→tuæ naturæ; zternz glorie→æternæ gloriæ; varüs→variis; Admirabil→admirabili; eloquentie→eloquentiæ.
- 2 ↩The closing jussives (Benedicatur…sanctificetur) lack an explicit subject in this section; the following section begins Nomen tuum, which is the likely grammatical subject.
- 3 ↩Source line is not Latin. The printed string “ETXAI KAOGHMEPINAT” is a corrupt transliteration of Greek Εὐχαὶ καθημεριναί (“Daily Prayers”), matching the chapter title Preces Quotidianae. Rendered from that intended Greek rubric; the leading 166 is kept as the print/item number.
