Comparison of Prayers - 13th Sunday Per Annum

Wanted to get these out so people would have more time to look at them before Sunday.

Collect
Official Latin from the 1969 & 2002 Roman Missals
Orémus. Deus, qui, per adoptiónem grátiæ, lucis nos esse fílios voluísti, præsta, quaésumus, ut errórum non involvámur ténebris, sed in splendóre veritátis semper maneámus conspícui.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia saécula sæculórum.
Official 1973 I.C.E.L. Translation(Used at Mass in English)
Let us pray. Father, you call your children to walk in the light of Christ. Free us from darkness and keep us in the radiance of your truth.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Literal Translation
Let us pray. O God, Who, through the adoption of grace, wished for us to be sons of light, grant, we beseech You, that we may not be enveloped in the darkness of errors, but may always remain visible in the splendor of the truth.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
