So I am going to Graduate School for my MA in history. As my focus is on late antiquity, early medieval, I will need to work on brushing up my Latin, as well as taking Greek when I start Grad school as my interests tend toward the early church.
One way I have been brushing up on my Latin is translating prayers from Latin to English. One of the things I have discovered while doing this, actually the common Roman Rite prayers are actually quite beautiful in Latin. What follows below are a selection of prayers and their english translations:
Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae. Et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus, descendit ad infernos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam.
I believe in god the father almighty, ceator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, he the only son of our lord, who was conceived in the holy spirit, born from the virign Mary, suffured under pontious Pilate, crucified, died, and was buried. Descended into hell, on the third day resurrected from death, ascended into heaven, seated at the right hand of god the father almighty, and will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the holy spirit, the holy catholic church, fellowship of the ordained, remission of sin, ressuection of the body, life eternal am
PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum 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 is your name . your kingdon come. your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give to us our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses just as we forgive those who tresspass against us. And lead us not into temptation but delvier us from evil
AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Am
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the lord is with you. blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of you womb, Jesus. Holy Mary mother of god, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death Amin
GLORIA PATRI, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Am
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and the holy just as it was in the beginning, and now, and always, and in ages of ages amen
Domine Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent.
Lord Jesus, scatter from us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, guide all souls to heaven, Particularly they, who have the greatest need of your Compassion, amen,
