This is a link to a YouTube video featuring different images of the Blessed Virgin Mary, while Celine Dion sings “Ave Maria”. I don’t know she sings the whole song in Latin, couldn’t hear a lot of it.

It’s the comments below it, that I thought made a great case for Latin Liturgy, as well as Latin being the Language of the Church.

She’s not singing the whole thing in Latin…not sure what the other language is…

Latin needs no defense. It remains the official language of the Roman Catholic Church. It remains in use (as shorthand) in both law and in medicine in Western nations too.

I know, I just thought the comments below the song revelealed the universal nature of Latin quite well.

The first comment was in English.
A little ways down someone has prayed the Hail Mary in German.
Beneath that a ways, after a little more English, is a comment In French.
Someone has replied in Spanish beneath that.

Everyone understands Ave Maria.
