‘oar-on-dee’ and ‘kre-’ (not ‘kree-’) ‘-den-dee’

 

[tee_eff_em]

‘oar-on-dee’ and ‘kre-’ (not ‘kree-’) ‘-den-dee’

or even: ‘kray-den-dee’ (BTW, *orandi *is likewise stressed on the penult: ‘oar-on-dee’)

tee

The law of praying is the law of believing. ie: Prayers express beliefs.

A looser translation would be “As we pray, so we believe”

Snippit from Michael Davis’ book “The Catholic Sanctuary”:

Lex orandi, lex credendi “The law of prayer is the law of belief.”

*"This means that the manner in which people pray will determine what they believe. *
When the traditional Latin liturgical rites were replaced by new vernacular services, when the altars were replaced by tables, and when the celebrant turned to face the people, then almost imperceptibly, as the years passed by, the people, who were praying as Protestants, began to believe as Protestants".
