Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in praelio. Contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur. Tuque princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo divina virtute in infernum detrude. Amen.
We need to say this after Mass again, Your Holiness. We really need St. Michael's protection now!

Did you miss something? No, but you'll have to admit that these masses with the wonderfull singing were wonderful to behold. So much reverence instead of some of the silly songs that are sung at mass today. I really dislike "I Danced in the Morning" song. I cannot sing along with it as I am so offended by it's triteness.
Said another way, Latin will never die!
Thanks for the link to Gregorian Chant music from Portugal. Wonderful.
Was it a Catholic wedding?
I have it linked to my desktop. Get the coffee, click on the chant and then surf FR. Magnificent!

How sad. All this teaching of Latin, and all of it an obsession over the pagan "Classics", rather than teaching the actually useful Ecclesiastical Latin of Sts. Bede, Gregory, Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, and de Liguori.
It would be REALLY cool if the Church adopted Aramaic instead of the language of the original Evil Empire. ;-)
Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.
Anything said in Latin sounds profound.
I think he means Caesar's De Bello Gallico. And if the original is free of copyright, it may freely be translated into any other language.
Deo gratias
folk music during mass
LOL! Oh, man that should have been tossed on the ash heap when bell bottoms all but vanished. That does drive me a little nuts. A few years ago I was in a small Catholic church in Maine. We sung the Our Father while some ' groovy dude ' played the guitar.
I could only imagine our Father, watching this scene from above and rolling his eyes.

Sounds like my latin class in college...took a couple of semesters of it as electives - all he wanted to talk about was word etymologies and stuff not related to the school work. So I skipped his classes regularly, studied like the dickens before each test and aced them...it was hard work...but otherwise, all I would do is nap in his class.
Well, hopefully with this Pope we'll enjoy a Latin Mass in the near future.
Fiat lux!

Exactly.
Personally, I would either want gregorian chant or silence during communion. But that is just me.
Marvelous! Thanks! I'll sing for you!
