A blog devoted to the collects of the Latin liturgy, classical and more recent.
Deus, qui conspicis quia ex nostra pravitate affligimur: concede propitius; ut ex tua visitatione consolemur.
"O God, you see how we are cast down by our corruptness; mercifully grant that we may be consoled by your visitation."
Remarks:
* Does pravitas refer to actual sin, or simply to the fallen state? Probably it should be taken as both: the fallen state, in which we often fall.
* Affligimur is balanced by consolemur: a free translation might be "we are depressed".
* The sense: alone we are wretched, with God we find consolation.
