Where can I find a Collect for Saints not yet in the Sacramentary

Hey all,

I was wondering if you know a resource out there that may have the opening prayer for saints more recently canonized, i.e. do not appear with his/her own in the Propers. I know I can use the generic ones for the ‘type’ of saint (e.g. martyr, priest, holy man, holy woman, etc.), but didn’t know if there’s already something OFFICIAL for newer saints.

Specifically, I’m looking for a Collect for Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino saint. He was martyred with his Dominican companions in Japan in the 17th century.

Thank you. Peace, -Mike
 
There is at least one supplement to the Sacramentary which contains new propers. I don’t know how often the supplement itself has been updated, nor what’s in it (I don’t have it handy).

Here’s what the USCCB website says:

Both the Sacramentary Supplement (ISBN 089942-042-7) and the Supplement to the Liturgy of the Hours (ISBN 089942-405-8) are available from the Catholic Book Publishing Company, 77 West End Road, Totowa, New Jersey 07512.

You can order the 2004 Sacramentary supplement here:
catholicbookpublishing.com/ShowProduct.aspx?ProductID=79&DepartmentID=88

Rest assured that what’s in the official supplement will be indeed official approved prayers. But I can’t guarantee that there will be something for St. Lorenzo.

I can say that the 1992 supplement for the Liturgy of the Hours does indeed contain the text for St. Lorenzo (called “Lawrence” in the US text).

Since the Sacramentary supplement came 12 years after the breviary supplement, it’s likely to have what you’re looking for.

For many of the saints, the collects in the Mass and those in the Hours are identical. While I can’t say this with certainty, it is very likely that the same will apply for St. Lorenzo.

Here’s the collect from the breviary:

Lord God,
in our service to you and to our neighbor
give us the patience of the holy martyrs,
Lawrence and his companions;
for those who suffer persecution for justice’ sake
are blessed in the Kingdom of heaven.
We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

I’m not sure that any part of this is official, but there are propers offered here:

vultus.stblogs.org/2006/09/mass-of-saint-lorenzo-ruiz-and.html

It might be safer to use the propers of a martyr, though.

Francis,
Thanks for providing the link. Even though it’s not an official source, it looks trustworthy, and for my part, I don’t see any reason to doubt it. The collect there matches the one in the Liturgy of the Hours (the official printing), and as I said in my last post, these are often identical. The antiphons and other presidential prayers (offertory and post-communion) are taken from the common of martyrs, and while those choices are fine, the priest could likewise use the other provided options.

The 2004 Supplement is substantially the same as the 1992 one. I received a copy only to find out that it didn’t actually have translations of the newer feasts in the General Calendar. It merely selected texts out of the commons/votives for the newer feasts.

The collect on the webpage does match the official text in the Hours supplement–the 1992 version at least. As I said, I don’t have the 2004 Sacramentary supplement.

The preface does not match.

I did not look carefully enough before saying that the other prayers match the Sacramentary–my mistake.

The collect that I typed is from the official text of the breviary–of that I can be certain. Although I cannot say that it will be the same in the Sacramentary, it is very likely to be so–in other words, that needs to be verified before it could be used at Mass.

The other prayers though aren’t the approved texts.

Thanks. I read too quickly. The prayers on the webpage do not match.

The text I typed is from the official printing of the Hours (92 supplement)–just to clarify.

While it’s very likely that this collect from the Hours will also be the collect for Mass, that’s not a given, so it should be verified before using it. The best option of course is to order the most recent supplement to the Sacramentary.

In the meantime, if anyone has such a supplement handy, can you verify whether or not the collect from the liturgy of the hours matches the collect for the Mass???
