Sabbato Quatuor Temporum Quadragesimae - Lent Ember Saturday Collect

This collect for Lenten Ember Saturday petitions God to 'look down favorably upon thy people and turn away the scourges of thy wrath.' The Saturday Ember Day traditionally hosted ordinations to the sacred ministry. The collect's language of propitiation presents Lenten fasting as appeasing divine justice while seeking mercy.

LATINE
Populum tuum, quaesumus, Domine, propitius respice: atque ab eo flagella tuae iracundiae clementer averte. Per Dominum.
ENGLISH
Look down favorably upon thy people, we beseech thee, O Lord, and mercifully turn away from them the scourges of thy wrath. Through our Lord.
