The promised land of eternal splendor

William West, c. 1845, Nottingham Castle

"May the splendor of your majesty, O Lord, we pray, shed its light upon our hearts, that we may pass through the shadows of this world and reach the brightness of our eternal home.  Through".

"Corda nostra, quaesumus, Domine, tuae maiestatis splendor illustret, quo mundi huius tenebras transire valeamus, et perveniamus ad patriam claritatis aeternae."

May the splendor of your majesty, O Lord, we pray, illuminate our hearts, by which [splendor] we may be enabled [(valeamus)] to pass through [(trans-)] the shadows of this world and come through [(per-)] to the fatherland of eternal brightness.

     Collect for Vigil of the Epiphany, Roman missal.  illustro can mean "clear up," and claritas, "clearness," i.e. "clarity."
     Could there be hints of the Exodus from Egypt and the entrance into the Promised Land here?
     Treat the rest of the lovely prayers of Epiphany eventually!
