Oremus!

Don’t just memorize the prayers of the Church of Rome in Latin. Let’s get into the weeds! Sancte Hieronyme, ora pro nobis.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

Ora pro nobis peccatoribus

oro - I pray
oras - you pray
ora - pray (imperative) *this one*
pro -(preposition, needs ablative) on behalf of / for the sake of
nobis - us (in ablative, as promised)
peccatoribus - sinners (also in ablative), an example of apposition

@Prof_Pownd Although sans macron:

Latin is the more metal English

Still pretty good.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@Prof_Pownd Man, that macron really makes a difference

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@jzipple @EricRSammons @inflammateomnia @JamesMartinSJ Probably not if you scale for marketing budget, political clout

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

Sequor, sequi, secutus sum
I follow, to follow, I followed

This is an example of a deponent, a verb that has a passive form, but an active meaning.

Used in a sentence: non sequitur (It doesn’t follow)

[Massimo Faggioli @MassimoFaggioli]

Pope Francis condemning nuclear weapons on Sunday of the Feast of Christ the King.
One more evidence that you cannot reconcile Catholicism and nationalism.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@MassimoFaggioli Non sequitur much?

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@BishopStika @BulawayoStaines Rather serious actually, Excellency.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@BulawayoStaines @BishopStika That’s great. You should tell the good news to the 70% of Catholics (all raised on the Novus Ordo) who don’t know He’s there.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@BishopStika And yes the Mass is the Mass. Christ promised that He’d be present at any valid Mass. But almost every move made in the years after the Council have made people forget he’s there. And they behave that way. That’s very sad.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@BishopStika Read Monsignor Klaus Gamber’s book, The Reform of the Roman Rite. The Liturgy has always evolved slowly. It’s never been wiped clean and rewritten

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@StefMNicholas @Tesstherealmess and I just experienced this moment. It doesn’t disappoint.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@jzipple Wow. You’re* and devotions*

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@jzipple Seriously glad your for traditional deceptions. But that’s not the point.

You said the problem was the “pitting” of the sides against each other. It’s not. The problem is thinking that Marian devotion and carbon footprint awareness are even close to being on the same level.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@jzipple “Precisely”?! Why is that precisely the problem? Seems to me that the precise problem is children not being taught the Hail Mary by people who presumably don’t think it’s a big deal.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@EricRSammons Get on it!

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@JamesMartinSJ Save yourself some time. They think importing more immigrants is more important than stopping abortion.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

@JohnKwanya @2111josemaria @jamesbggurney @CatholicSat Yeah, why is everyone talking about “violent” proselytism? When does that happen? It doesn’t.

[Oremus! @Oremus1]

Had an argument with my uncle recently where he suggested that Chinese should be learned because it’s hard (just like Latin) but also “useful” (unlike Latin).

He misses the point often missed by others of his generation: Latin is our heritage.
