Does anyone know if there is a video of someone saying the Act of Contrition in Latin on the web. I have the words but don’t know how to pronounce all of them.

Meaning no disrespect, but if it’s a language you aren’t familiar with, why do you feel a need to express sorrow to God in that language?

I can’t speak for the OP, but there are some prayers that speak to my heart more in Latin (which is mystical and supernatural sounding to a simple heart, I think. I’ve heard of children calling it the “angel’s talk.”) and it works both ways. Sometimes to put my heart into my rosary I just need to pray it in Latin. Can’t explain it.

Well, there is a reason, and I could tell you if its really important to you but I’m more interested in knowing what difference it makes to you ie why do you care?

Any prayers said in Latin are said in union with all the saints in time who too prayed in Latin. 😃
