Obiter dicta:
The rector of St. Charles, Wynnewood, PA, just up the street from SJU, had an assignment at the CDW for several years. Like you, he noted that he thought the gap between NO in Latin and NO in English deprived the faithful of NO’s liturgical riches.Perhaps he improved his language skills at the Biblicum. He also commented on many prayers’ antiquity. See most recent “Coming Home” for details.
Our God, assign favor, pleasing to Thee, to Thy people,
since Thou will, then, keep all those, Thou may make suitable for Thee, successsful through habit.
or perhaps a little more literal:
Our God, assign a favor, pleasing to Thee, to Thy people,
since Thou will, then, therein present all, Thou would make apt with Thee, successful from habit.
