Praying in Latin has been part of Catholic life for almost 2, 000 years. Each Latin prayer, whether prayed in public worship, or in private contemplation, is saturated with the very rich history of the Catholic Church. The place of Latin prayer thus forms an intrinsic part of the deep and extensive patrimony that is Catholic Tradition. Latin Prayer. Aspects of Language and Catholic Spirituality explores a way of prayer, with a linguist’s eye and a Catholic heart, which, linguistically and spiritually, is steeped in this Tradition. It is hoped that those who know no Latin will be inspired by this book to learn it, and those who know it, and perhaps some, or all, of the prayers included here, to revisit it.
