The Pray Tell<\/em> post on the Austrian proposal for an additional 2022 Solemn Intercession in the Good Friday liturgy<\/a> has raised much interest.<\/p>\n

The Congregation for Divine Worship has recommended an additional intercession for Ukraine without publishing a normative (Latin?) version<\/a>. This might have been a reason why the English version from Pray Tell<\/em> has already been quoted on several websites. I want to give a short update on what I know about the reception.<\/p>\n

First of all: I had never expected that my sample would find such a huge reception in different parts of the world. To clarify certain misunderstandings: The prayer that I presented is not an official version by the Austrian Bishops’ Conference. The \u00d6sterreichisches Liturgisches Institut (Austrian Liturgical Institute) in Salzburg<\/a> works for the Austrian Bishops’ Conference, but the publication itself is nothing more than a recommendation by the institute. The final decision is still up to the bishops for their dioceses.<\/p>\n

The same applies to Switzerland where the Austrian version has been recommended without changes.<\/a><\/p>\n

The diocese of Bozen-Brixen in Italy has published an Italian translation aside the German version.<\/a><\/p>\n

While the English version on Pray Tell<\/em> was made by myself with much helpful assistance by our main editor Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB<\/a>, the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions in the US has published a new English translation, a Spanish one, and an alternative sample from the diocese of Albany (NY)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has announced that they will make an intercession for Good Friday available in the next days.<\/a><\/p>\n

On April 4, 2022, the German Bishop’s conference has published its own version which is the Austrian draft with some interesting changes:<\/a><\/p>\n

Lasst uns auch beten f\u00fcr die Menschen in der Ukraine und in allen Kriegsgebieten der Erde;
\nf\u00fcr alle, die vor dem Schrecken der Gewalt geflohen und ihrer Heimat beraubt sind;
\nf\u00fcr alle, die mit ihrem Leben einstehen f\u00fcr die Abwehr des Feindes und f\u00fcr den Schutz der Schwachen und Verfolgten.<\/p>\n

Allm\u00e4chtiger, ewiger Gott,
\ndu bist st\u00e4rker als die Unterdr\u00fccker dieser Welt,
\ndu hast Mitleid mit den Geringen und Armen.
\nWie du Israel aus der Gewalt \u00c4gyptens befreit hast,
\nso rette in unseren Tagen alle Opfer von Unrecht und Krieg.
\nWandle die Herzen jener, die B\u00f6ses tun,
\nund lass den Frieden siegreich sein.
\nDarum bitten wir durch Christus, unsern Herrn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In English (first part):<\/p>\n

Let us also pray for the people in Ukraine and in all war zones of the world,
\nfor those who have fled the dread of violence and have been deprived of their homes,
\nfor all those who stand up with their lives to ward off the enemy and to protect the weak and the persecuted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I did not include the word also (auch)<\/em> in the first line of my English translation of the Austrian version, but here we have it again. In the German Missal most Solemn Intercessions begin with Lasst uns beten<\/em> and Lasst uns auch beten<\/em> (Let us pray<\/em> and Let us also pray<\/em>) in alternation. When you include the Ukraine intercession after #9, the word also<\/em> fits best into the German scheme. That is the entire mystery behind this word.<\/p>\n

The women and men<\/em> (…for all women and men who stand up…)<\/em> from the Austrian sample have been omitted, and\u2014much more interesting\u2014the evil<\/em> has been replaced by the enemy<\/em>. In my understanding this new word Feind (enemy)<\/em> refers more to human beings, and the intended semantic amibiguity of evil human<\/em>\u00a0vs. evil force\u00a0<\/em> is lost (in German der B\u00f6se<\/em> vs. das B\u00f6se<\/em> which both become des B\u00f6sen<\/em> in the genitive case). But at second glance the enemy<\/em> can be understood more metaphorically, so that the semantic difference between the (Austrian)\u00a0evil<\/em> and the (German) enemy<\/em> is not very large.<\/p>\n

And here is the collect in English:<\/p>\n

Almighty and eternal God,
\nyou are stronger than the oppressors of this world,
\nyou have compassion for the lowly and the poor.
\nAs you guided Israel out of the force of Egypt, so save in our days all victims of injustice and war.
\nChange the hearts of the evildoers, and let peace be victorious.
\nWe ask this through Christ our Lord. \u2014 Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first sentence has been completely rearranged. The quotation from the Magnificat<\/em> (you throw down the oppressors)<\/em> has been replaced by you are stronger than the oppressors of this world<\/em> (with a change in the German word order).<\/em>\u00a0To be honest: I do not see how this is an improvement, but of course the expression as such makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

For Israel’s experience in Egypt, the German version uses the word Gewalt <\/em>instead of the Austrian Knechtschaft. Gewalt<\/em> is not easy to translate: it can mean force<\/em>, but also violence<\/em>, power<\/em>, or rather neutral (legal) authority<\/em>. Since Gewalt<\/em> is used here for force of Egypt<\/em>, the following part had to be rephrased: The Austrian expression Krieg und Gewalt<\/em>\u00a0(war and violence<\/em>\u00a0 with Gewalt<\/em> clearly meaning violence<\/em> in this context) was rephrased to Unrecht und Krieg (injustice and war). <\/em>This expression gives the collect a more juridical approach to the evil among humans.<\/p>\n

Please allow me a final personal remark: I am overwhelmed by what my post on Pray Tell<\/em> has set in motion. But much more I would wish that the occasion for this additional Good Friday Solemn Intercession had never come into existence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
