The Collect for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity
This Sunday’s Collect is a little masterpiece. It is both a richly insightful treatise on the nature of grace and a good illus-tration of the organic development and incremental enrichment of liturgical texts over the centuries:
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than we to pray, and art wont to give more than either we desire or deserve: pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy; forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord.
In its original form this oration first appeared in the oldest of the sacramentaries, the Leonine, dating back to the fifth century. Slightly revised, the Latin prayer passed into the Gelasian and then the Gregorian sacramentaries before com-ing to the medieval Sarum Missal: Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui abundantia pietatis tuae et merita supplicum ex-cedis et vota, effunde super nos misericordiam tuam, ut dimittas quae conscientia metuit, et adjicias quod oratio non praesumit. (“Almighty and everlasting God, who in the abundance of thy mercy art wont to give more than either we desire or deserve; pour down upon us thy mercy; forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those things which we are not worthy to ask.”)
Translating the collect for the 1549 Book of Common Prayer, Thomas Cranmer adhered closely to the sense of the Latin while rounding out the attribute of God, “who art always more ready to hear than we to pray,” and consolidating the phrase referring to the “abundance” of God's mercy in the petition. For the 1662 edition of the Prayer Book, John Cosin further enriched and perfected the prayer by adding a distinctively Christological emphasis to the final pleading: “. . . giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord.”
Acquiring layer upon layer of biblical allusiveness over the ages, this collect elegantly distils the Christian doctrine of grace: though we be slack and timid in prayer, anxious and unworthy as we are, the super-abundance of God's mercy, vouchsafed by the Spirit in conscience, in the water of baptism, and in the blood of Jesus on the cross, lets loose a shower of goodness beyond our imagining. Dr. Clint Brand
