Prayer not fit for purpose

Below is the Collect or Opening Prayer at yesterday's Mass.

The sentence has 52 words. It is not possible to read this prayer at Mass in such a way that it can be prayed and conetmplated by those present.

Who could grasp this at a public reading? The people who wrote this should be brought to account for what they have done.
