There is an interesting particle on Good Friday Prayers on Catholic CulturePope Pius XII ordered in 1955 that perfidies be translated as “unbelieving”. In 1959, Pope John XXIII dropped perfidies altogether. Since 1962, the extraordinary form, still celebrated in Latin, was - Quote:
-
For the conversion of Jews: Let us pray also for the Jews that the Lord our God may take the veil from their hearts and that they also may acknowledge our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us pray: Almighty and everlasting God, you do not refuse your mercy even to the Jews; hear the prayers which we offer for the blindness of that people so that they may acknowledge the light of your truth, which is Christ, and be delivered from their darkness.
The significant phrase is "even the Jews". I thought, what if I heard other people praying, asking God not to remove his mercy, even from Rose of York. Just a thought!
:D
I've just read through the Good Friday liturgy in my 1961 missal, and the word "even" isn't there. The word "also" is there instead.
Not that there's anything wrong with the word "even" in the prayer.
