• Ubi Caritas

  Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.

  Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur: Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus. Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus.

  Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul quoque cum beatis videamus, Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus: Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum, Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.

• Ave, Regina caelorum

  AVE, Regina caelorum, Ave, Domina Angelorum: Salve, radix, salve, porta, Ex qua mundo lux est orta:

  Gaude, Virgo gloriosa, Super omnes speciosa, Vale, o valde decora, Et pro nobis Christum exora.

  Dignare me laudare te, Virgo sacrata. Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos.

  Oremus Concede, misericors Deus, fragilitati nostrae praesidium; ut, qui sanctae Dei Genetricis memoriam agimus; intercessionis eius auxilio, a nostris iniquitatibus resurgamus. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

From my Psalter comes this hymn.
When God had filled the earth with life
and blessed it, to increase,
then cattle dwelt with creeping things
lion with lamb at peace.
He gave them vast, untrodden lands,
with plants to be their food.
Then God saw all that he had made
and found it very good.
Praise God the Father for all life,
His Son [...]

Catholic bookstores in Asia are unable to provide us with Latin prayer-books. Why do I need one, you may ask? We in the Roman church have a long tradition of using Latin in our prayer and liturgy and I think it’s time to return to that. The last bookstore I went to directed me to [...]

Nice article on dressing for Church. I’m thinking of starting to wear a jacket, although it may get too hot.

• Memorare

  Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia, esse derelictum.

  Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere; sed audi propitia et exaudi. Amen.

• Adoro te devote

  Adoro te devote , latens Deitas, quae sub his figuris vere latitas: tibi se cor meum totum subiicit, quia te contemplans totum deficit.

  Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur, sed auditu solo tuto creditur; credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius: nil hoc verbo Veri- -tatis verius.

  In cruce latebat sola Deitas, at hic latet simul et humanitas; ambo tamen credens atque confitens, peto quod petivit latro paenitens.

  Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor; Deum tamen meum te confiteor; fac me tibi semper magis credere, in te spem habere, te diligere.
