A blog devoted to the collects of the Latin liturgy, classical and more recent.
Praesta, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus: ut semper rationabilia meditantes, quae tibi sunt placita, et dictis exsequamur, et factis.
"Grant, we ask, almighty God: that keeping our minds always on reasonable things, we may carry out by both words and deeds what is pleasing to you."
Remarks:
*Good thoughts lead to good words and deeds. The primacy of thought.
*Thoughts are good if they are in accord with reason.
