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.

There! Now you know most of the basic prayers. In the next post, I'll include the Rosary Meditation Prayer, the Memorare, and the Prayer of St. Michael, which are technically extra prayers that many people add to their rosaries.

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!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Signum Crucis (Sign of the Cross)

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 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.

CPR (Chocolate Peanut Butter Revival) Bar Cookies

April 27, 2017






The first version :)

Hey y'all,

So, after Lent was over, I started craving sweets again like crazy, especially since that was the first thing I cut out.

So, a couple of days after Easter, I went to pull down the large package of Chips Ahoy! that I had stashed up for there since forever.

I opened the package, and...they were pale. Apparently the sell by date was back in March. Figures right? I ate a couple, and they seemed just a little stale but not terrible.

Anyways, the search began for a dessert recipe that used ruined/stale cookies. Cause I wasn't about to waste over 30 cookies.

In the end, I ended up drafting one for bar cookies. I crushed up half the package of Chips Ahoy and placed the crumbs with some melted butter in the bottom of an 8x8 pan. Then I melted a Hershey XL bar of chocolate and mixed it with some peanut butter and spread it on top of the crumb mixture. I will say that was easier said than done. Then I placed some dark chocolate Hershey's Kisses to fill in where the mixture missed. Then I placed it in a 350 degree oven for around 15 minutes.

The result? A ridiculously hard crust and a super soft top.

It did taste good though.....

So I tried again, since I only got rid of half the cookies the first time.

This time, I added milk to the crust, enough to wet the cookies that weren't wetted by the butter. Finding out the right amount of milk was really tough, because Chips Ahoy cookies don't need a lot of milk to be soaked. I will say that the milk really helped to soften the crust and it was somewhat easier to spread. However, the layers were a lot less distinct, which produced a blending effect, which I didn't like. However, I'm not sure how to fix that balance just yet. But, the second batch was met with rave reviews, so I will add the recipe file below.

Old-fashionably yours,

Catherine
