Just because I liked it

Here's the collect of yesterday's Mass from the 1962 missal (11th Sunday after Pentecost):
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui abundantia pietatis tuae et merita supplicum excedis et vota: effunde super nos misericordiam tuam; ut dimittas que conscientia metuit, et adjicias quod oratio non praesumit. Per Dominum nostrum...

O almighty and everlasting God, who in the abundance of Thy kindness art wont to go beyond our merits and our prayers: pour down Thy mercy on us: forgive us aught whereof our conscience is afraid, and grant us all we dare not ask in prayer. Through our Lord...

A wonderful collect, nothing compared to the lame ICEL translation of St. Martha's feast day, lol.

That being said...Hope you are alright, the earthquake hit this morning :(
