DIVINUM OFFICIUM Prayer

Collecta - Feria III Paschae

Feria III infra Octavam Paschae (Easter Tuesday) - Collecta propria

The collect for Easter Tuesday, petitioning that the newly baptized hold fast in their lives the sacrament received in faith. The Easter Octave was the mystagogical period when neophytes received instruction on the sacraments they had received. The prayer connects faith with moral transformation.

LATINE
Deus, qui Ecclesiam tuam novo semper foetu multiplicas: concede famulis tuis; ut sacramentum vivendo teneant, quod fide perceperunt. Per Dominum.
ENGLISH
O God, who continually give increase to thy Church by new offspring, grant that thy servants may hold fast in their lives the sacrament which they have received by faith. Through our Lord.
