Feria II Hebdomadae Sanctae - Holy Monday Collect

This collect for Holy Monday asks that 'we who fail through our weakness in so many difficulties may be relieved through the pleading of the Passion of thy Only-begotten Son.' Holy Week's collects present Christ's Passion as the remedy for human weakness. The Passion intercedes for sinners, making satisfaction for their failures.

LATINE
Da, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus: ut, qui in tot adversis ex nostra infirmitate deficimus; intercedente unigeniti Filii tui passione respiremus: Qui tecum vivit.
ENGLISH
Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we who fail through our weakness in so many difficulties, may be relieved through the pleading of the Passion of thy Only-begotten Son. Who liveth.
