Feria IV Hebdomadae Sanctae - Spy Wednesday Collect

This collect for Spy Wednesday asks that 'we who are continually afflicted through our excesses and sins may be delivered by the Passion of thy Only-begotten Son.' The Latin 'nostris excessibus' (our excesses) acknowledges that human sin causes both our affliction and Christ's Passion. His suffering delivers us from the consequences of our sins.

LATINE
Praesta, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus: ut, qui nostris excessibus incessanter affligimur, per unigeniti Filii tui passionem liberemur: Qui tecum vivit.
ENGLISH
Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we, who are continually afflicted through our excesses and sins, may be delivered by the Passion of thy Only-begotten Son. Who liveth.
