How to Say the Rosary in Latin (Part 4, Finale)

July 11, 2017









Hey y'all!

I'm so sorry that I took this long, but we have finally come to the end! This last post will give the mystery titles in Latin and the prayers for the pope, so you can say your rosary totally in Latin!

Disclaimer: These prayers were taken and checked by multiple sources. The bulk of the prayers in this series can be found on this website: 
http://www.traditioninaction.org/religious/b012rpLatin_Rosary.htm

Here's how it will work: I'll put the text of the whole prayer in Latin first, followed by the full English translation. Then, each prayer will be broken down by line. I'll give the Latin first in colored text, then the pronunciation below it in colored italics.

WHEW. 

Thank heavens. 

(Did I ever mention that writing pronunciation is hard???) 

In addition to this post, I've also updated all of the other "How to Say the Rosary in Latin" posts so all the schemes are the same and all the italics are in the right place. (this is what happens when you write these at night). 

Hope your summer is going well!

How to Say the Rosary in Latin (Part 3)

June 27, 2017










Hey y'all,

Please forgive the interruption in our Latin lessons. I had intended to get these all done at once, but that never happened. Now I'm on a blogging spree here on Frugally Fancy in order to get some of these drafts that have been sitting around for a while.....

For this post, I'm doing the Rosary Meditation Prayer, the Memorare, and the Prayer to St. Michael. These prayers are technically extra prayers that are often tacked onto the end the Rosary, right after the Hail Holy Queen.

Disclaimer: These prayers were taken and checked by multiple sources. The bulk of the prayers in this series can be found on this website: 
http://www.traditioninaction.org/religious/b012rpLatin_Rosary.htm

Here's how it will work: I'll put the text of the whole prayer in Latin first, followed by the full English translation. Then, each prayer will be broken down by line. I'll give the Latin first in colored text, then the pronunciation below it in colored italics.

So let's get started!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosary Meditation Prayer

Oremus.

Deus, cujus Unigenitus per vitam, mortem, et resurrectionem suam nobis salutis æternae præmia comparavit: concede, quæsumus; ut hæc mysteria sanctissimo beatæ Mariæ Virginis Rosario recolentes, et imitemur quor continent, et quod promittunt assequamur. Per eudum Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.


Let us pray.

O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life. Grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Note: This prayer is also the collect of the Mass for the Feast of the Holy Rosary.)

 The Memorare 

O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a seculo, quemquam ad tua currentum praesidia, tua implorantum auxilia, tu 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.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother! To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

How to Say the Rosary in Latin (Part 2)

June 04, 2017











Hey y'all!

Second Latin lesson! This time, I'll do the Apostle's Creed, The Fatima Prayer and the Hail Holy Queen.

Disclaimer: These prayers (with the exception of The Fatima Prayer, which has several Latin translations) were taken and checked by multiple sources. The bulk of the prayers in this series can be found on this website: http://www.traditioninaction.org/religious/b012rpLatin_Rosary.htm

Here's how it will work: I'll put the text of the whole prayer in Latin first, followed by the full English translation. Then, each prayer will be broken down by line. I'll give the Latin first in colored text, then the pronunciation below it in colored italics.

So let's get started!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Symbolum Apostolorum (Apostle's Creed)

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae; et in Iesum Christum,
Filium eius unicum, Dominium nostrum; qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto,
natus ex Maria Virgine; passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et septultus;
descendit ad infernos; tertia die resurrexit a mortuis; ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis; inde venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum; Sanctum Ecclesiam Catholicam; Sanctorum communionem; remissionem peccatorum; carnis resurrectionem; vitam aeternam. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and buried. He descended into hell, on the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and sits on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

How to Say the Rosary in Latin (Part 1)

May 30, 2017





Hey y'all,

Pentecost is very fastly approaching! I can't believe, it seems that Easter was just a short while ago.....

One of the most visible gifts that the Holy Ghost gave to the 11 apostles was the gift of tongues. They could understand and converse in several different languages, including the old Latin which is still spoken in our Extraordinary Form Masses.

As a kid, I had a lot of difficulty understanding the Latin - consquently I'm afraid I developed a hearty dislike of the Latin Rite. I was attending English liturgy more often anyway, so what did it bother?

Until my dad decided to stop attending the local Norvus Ordo church and drag us to attend a TLM (which was an hour from my house) every Sunday when I was around twelve.

Needless to say, I learned to deal with it. As time went on, I grew to gradually love the TLM, and now I prefer it more than anything.

That being said, my understanding of the Latin was next to nothing - until around four years ago.

You see, my BFF/unbiological sister's family decided some time ago to pray the Rosary in Latin (I think it was to help the boys with their Latin prayers for serving, if I remember correctly).

I didn't even know that was possible!

Naturally, they taught me how to say it and I've been saying my daily Rosary in Latin for about a year or so now.  

Over the past couple of years of doing that, I suddenly noticed that I could understand a lot more of the liturgy without looking at a Missal. I'm still only able to pick out individual words, though I am getting some phrases down.

So, for this Pentecost, I will pass on my knowledge and hope it gives you the same graces (and more!) that it gave me!


Disclaimer: These prayers were taken and checked by multiple sources. The bulk of the prayers in this series came from this website: http://www.traditioninaction.org/religious/b012rpLatin_Rosary.htm

So, in a Rosary, there are 7-9 different prayers that people say: Apostles Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima Prayer, Hail Holy Queen, Rosary Meditation Prayer, The Memorare, Prayer to St. Michael, Prayers for the Pope (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be).

Obviously, that's a lot. Even I had to learn gradually, so I'll do the same here for you.

For this first part, I'll put up the Latin tutorials for the Sign of the Cross, the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be. In the second part, I'll put up the Apostles Creed, the Fatima Prayer and the Hail Holy Queen. In the third part, I'll put up the Rosary Mediation Prayer, the Memorare and the Prayer to St. Michael. In the fourth part, I'll include all of the Mystery titles and the Prayers for the Intentions to the Holy Father and some other Intention titles.

Here is how it's going to work: I'll put the text of the whole prayer in Latin first, followed by the full English translation. Then, each prayer will be broken down by line. I'll give the Latin first in colored text, then the pronunciation below it in colored italics.

So let's get started!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pater Noster (Our Father)

Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificatur nomen tuum. 
Adveniat regnem tuum, fiat voluntas tua, sicut caelo et in terra. 
Panen nostram quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris, et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen. 

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. 
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
