Word “one” being removed from Collects in Australia

[OraLabora]

Seems reasonable to me. The Latin collects for the EF use the form,

Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivat et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus , per omnia saecula saeculorum.

Not just the EF, the same formula is used for the Latin OF (and Liturgy of the Hours). I use it daily myself as I pray the LOTH in Latin.

What’s next - the Creed? Unum Deum?

 

[Tis_Bearself]

The Creed actually contains the word “Unum”.

As mentioned above, the Latin Collects do not.

Ah. Thanks!

.

phil19034:

“Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God: world without end. Amen "

The only difference is the “world without end” part . “Per omnia saecula saeculorum” literally means “for all of the ages of ages”, and is a Latin idiom as I understand it, so it doesn’t really matter if you translate it as “for ever and ever” or “world without end” or “unto the ages of ages”. As much as I like the old “World without end” because it reminds me of my childhood, I think “for ever and ever” is probably a more correct translation.

Oh I totally agree.

I just think “God: World Without End. Amen” sounds better than “God: for ever and ever”
