Manducavérunt, et saturári sunt nimis, et desidérium eórum áttulit eis Dóminus: non sunt fraudáti a desidério suo...

Deus, qui ineffábili providéntia beátum Joseph sanctíssimæ Genetrícis tuæ sponsum elígere dignátus es: præsta, quǽsumus; ut, quem protectórem venerámur in terris, intercessórem habére mereámur in cœlis: Qui vivis et regnas.

Preces nostras, quǽsumus, Dómine, cleménter exáudi: atque, a peccatórum vínculis absolútos, ab omni nos adversitáte custódi. Per Dóminum. 

Deus, qui nobis sub Sacraménto mirábili passiónis tuæ memóriam reliquísti : tríbue, quæsumus, ita nos córporis et sánguinis tui sacra mystéria venerári ; ut redemptiónis tuæ fructum in nobis júgiter sentiámus : Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

Today is Tuesday in Quinquagesima and a feria, the final day of the Septuagesima season. The Mass of Quinquagesima, Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, is here. Am out on the weekly shopping expedition later on; the iMages were (last evening, anyway) predicting the possibility of snow in the night and this morning; the cold certainly troubled the last hour of my sleeping (I didn't have the heater's thermostat turned high enough, I guess: it is far better to be too cold than too hot, and it's an imprecise bit of machinery). In the next hour or so, and through 0800, their page says, '60%'. 

At Le Barroux, the votive Mass of Saint Joseph, Adiutor et protector noster est Dominus, will be sung.

At Saint-Eugène, the Mass of Reposition, concluding the annual Supplication of the Quarante-Heures, will be celebrated. The Mass Cibavit eos ex adipe frumenti will be sung. The Schola Saint-Cécile's page is here, and the livret for Holy Mass is here.

The Roman Martyrology today, February 17, for tomorrow the 12th day before the Kalends of March.

✠    ✠    ✠

Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium; ut, qui sanctæ Dei Genitrícis memóriam ágimus; intercessiónis ejus auxílio, a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus. Per Christum Dóminum nóstrum.

Deus, a quo sancta desidéria, recta consília, et justa sunt ópera: da servis tuis illam, quam mundus dare non potest, pacem; ut et corda nostra mandátis tuis dédita, et hóstium subláta formídine, témpora sint tua protectióne tranquílla. Per Dóminum.

Deus, qui caritátis dona per grátiam Sancti Spíritus tuórum fidélium córdibus infudísti: da fámulis et famulábus tuis, pro quibus tuam deprecámur cleméntiam, salútem mentis et córporis; ut te tota virtúte díligant, et quæ tibi plácita sunt, tota dilectióne perfíciant. Per Dóminum.

Laus Deo Virginique Matri
