DIVINUM OFFICIUM Prayer

Collecta - Feria V Pentecostes

Feria V infra Octavam Pentecostes (Pentecost Thursday) - Collecta propria

The collect for Pentecost Thursday, the principal Pentecost prayer used throughout the Octave. The petition to 'relish what is right' (recta sapere) and 'rejoice in the Spirit's comfort' connects knowledge with affection. The Spirit teaches and consoles simultaneously.

LATINE
Deus, qui hodierna die corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere; et de ejus semper consolatione gaudere. Per Dominum...in unitate ejusdem Spiritus Sancti.
ENGLISH
O God, who on this day by the light of the Holy Spirit taught the hearts of the faithful, grant us by the same Spirit to relish what is right, and always to rejoice in his comfort. Through our Lord...in the unity of the same Holy Spirit.
