Praying In Latin

-
Praying in Latin can be a daunting task, especially if you have never studied the language before. If you are interested in praying in Latin, but are not confident in your pronunciation or don't know where to obtain some of the prayers, there is hope. The Boston Catholic Journal has a webpage that has a number of common prayers written in both English and Latin and includes the Latin audio tracks of the prayers.

At the top portion of the page you will find prayers written in both Latin and English. They include:
[I've included the Latin Audio Links]

•Signum Crucis - The Sign of the Cross
•Pater noster - Our Father
•Ave Maria - Hail Mary
•Gloria Patri - Glory Be
•Angelus - The Angelus
•Confiteor - The Confiteor (I Confess)
•Credo - Nicene Creed (I Believe)
•Salve Regina - Hail Holy Queen
•Gloria in excelsis Deo - Glory to God in the Highest
•Laudes Divinae - Divine Praises
•Regina Coeli - Queen of Heaven
•Veni Sancte Spiritus - Come Holy Spirit
•Anima Christi - Soul of Christ
•Memorare - Memorare (Remember)
•Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel - [They never cited this prayer in Latin, but they do say the Latin Prayer.]

If you play the prayers at the top portion of the page, they will start in English and will speak very slowly. It actually may be a bit agitating, but you can scroll the tracks forward to the beginning of the Latin prayer. The Latin prayers are also said slowly, which is good for any person who is just becoming familiar with the language. However, if you just want to get to the Latin prayer you may just go to the bottom of the page and there will be a link to the all the prayers I mentioned above and they will be played only in Latin.

The Boston Catholic Journal, according to their site, is also offering a free CD for people who want it with the Latin prayers, or prayers in Latin and English.

I hope you enjoy the site.

Pax tecum.

Condoms made for 12 year olds. Sad day.

How sad are the times when the youth are openly corrupted. It is a travesty that young boys, aged between 12-14, will no longer be led down the road of self-restraint, but will now have a means to give into their base passions. Condoms provide only a means to self-gratification and a path to incomplete love. Sadly, these youth will be given this illusion as a means to an end and will be deluded into thinking that this action is love or will be trapped in the sin of lust. Have people really given up on the young and abandoned them to their lustful desires at their most vulnerable time, when they are at peak of the battle their hormones and are discovering life? Instead of children being taught the dignity and honor of their bodies, they are being taught how to defile it. It is truly a sad day. Read the excerpt from the article printed in  Mail Online.

Fighting for Christmas

-
Et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis (And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us). This is a great demonstration of the love and humility possessed by Our Lord, Jesus Christ, yet I find myself walking the streets of Singapore surrounded by an endless barrage of sales and secular symbols of Christmas. How my heart laments over the disregard of a such a momentous sacrifice bestowed upon man by a loving God who has found himself replaced by idols of materialism and capitalism. Our great Creator humbled himself to come into human form and as if this action were not enough, He came into this world in the most humble of circumstances; the son of a carpenter, born in a manger, destined to lead a life of simplicity. Being the King of Kings, He could have easily come into this world in a prominent social family, but He chose to lead by example. Humility and charity would also be demonstrated by the Virgin Mary, His most blessed and chaste mother. Their...

A Self-Righteous Pharisee Complaining

-
Life is quite amusing. It becomes all the more hilarious when people use terms and words which they don't truly comprehend. For example, pharisee. Yes, that is right, pharisee. I had the privilege of someone, in not so many words, say that I sound like a pharisee; however, this person does not know me and the discussion, which was transpiring on a mutual friend's Facebook page, was about Eucharistic reception on the tongue and hand. My friend, who shall remain nameless, shared an experience that occurred and his feelings about Eucharistic reception, and of course, a discussion ensued. The reason the discussion progressed to a degree was due to the fact that we cannot receive the Eucharist on our tongue. This has been a diocese wide declaration due to H1N1; however, I made my opinion known that I felt this wrong not only because of the recent letter [you can see the letter here: http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2009/11/it-is-not-licit-to-deny-communion-on.html ] that has bee...
