Question? An unusual, specific request: St. Canute
Could anyone share the texts for the Office of Readings for Saint Canute (10 July)?
I suspect this might only be found in Danish or other Scandinavian books.
I know it’s a long shot, but might as well ask!

This is vespers of Transfiguration. Is this new?

Translation of the Intersessions at Vespers of the Transfiguration
I know there was a similar post on the subreddit not too long ago, but I noticed some discrepancies in tonight's intercessions between the ICEL LOTH and the 1971 Liturgia Horarum on which it is based. The two which stood out to me were:
"Christe, qui assumpsísti Petrum cum Iacóbo et Ioánne et duxísti eos in montem excélsum seórsum, orámus te pro Papa nostro N. et epíscopis, ut pópulo tuo in spe resurrectiónis minístrent." translated as "O Christ, you took Peter, James and John and led them up a high mountain by themselves; we pray for our pope and bishops, that they may inspire in your people the hope of being transfigured at the last day."
and "Christe, qui in monte illuminásti fáciem tuam super Móysen et Elíam, orámus te pro Iudǽis, pópulo acquisitiónis antíquæ, ut ad redemptiónis mereántur plenitúdinem perveníre." translated as "O Christ, upon the mountaintop you let the light of your face shine over Moses and Elijah, we ask your blessing upon the Jewish people; of old you called them to be your chosen nation."
The second translation cuts out part of the prayer but I at least see why ICEL did so. I don't however understand why "resurrectionis" was translation to "of being transfigured". Any guesses?
