Praying the Rosary in Latin

[kimbaichan]

I say the Rosary in Latin every day! I started saying it when I was an atheist studying the Middle Ages, now I’m a wanna-be Catholic studying the CCC & Bible. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus…

I love praying in Latin. I have memorized all the prayers of the rosary in Latin except for the Hail Holy Queen. But, now I have been saying it in Spanish instead.

If you know the hymn “Salve Regina”, this is nothing but the Hail Holy Queen in Latin.

I love praying in Latin, too. It is such a beautiful language. I’m learning Compline in Latin this year…

That schedule does not indicate a daily rosary (but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one)

You can listen and pray along at any time through this page Vatican Radio.

Vatican Radio used to have it, but apparently no more (that is: not archived/“on demand” – They still have it on the live schedule)

I recently did some detective work and discovered that, though the Rosary recordings are no longer linked from the Vatican Radio pages, they are still on the servers.

Mysteria Gaudiosa
Mysteria Dolorosa
Mysteria Gloriosa
Mysteria Lucis

I love praying the rosary and I would love to learn it in latin. Thanks to all the folks giving great advice on this thread. Latin is the official language of the Church is it not? So this would be perfect. Pax†

Years ago, the term “cafeteria catholic” (not capitalized on purpose) was properly called heretic. To be truly Catholic, one must believe all that the Church believes and teaches.

Thank you, Deacon Ed.

A few months ago I heard a priest say on EWTN that he knew some small children who loved to pray the Rosary in latin and that if a child can learn it, so can an adult. That, plus seeing “The Passion” and hearing latin, were very inspirational. So, I took up the challange and, lo’ and behold, am discovering that praying in latin is a wonderful experience. I still pray the Rosary in English when in a group setting, but for private prayer its latin all the way.

I started learning with the Sign of the Cross (heard it a million times in the movies) and the Glory Be. Then the Hail Mary, Fatima, Lord’s Prayer, etc. Going to tackle the Apostle’s Creed next.

Anybody else here learning to pray in latin?

Ave Maria!

Yes!!

I too pray it privately in Latin. I’m still takling the Credo, but everything else I pray in Latin.

Read, See, and Hear How to Pray and Chant the Rosary in Latin

1. For any of you who would like to learn how to pray the Rosary in Latin, as well as chant the Rosary in Latin, I would strongly recommend the following website, which appears not to have been mentioned so far:

• chanttherosary.com/

1. On this website, you’ll find (a) the texts for all the prayers, which should help with memorization, and also (b) videos with audio, which should help with pronunciation.

What’s especially nice about this site is that it’s apparently put together by a layman who, like some of us here, became interested in praying his Catholic prayers in the official language of the Church, but who couldn’t find the type of resource it appears some of us are looking for. He’s done a very nice job.

Anyway, I hope that helps for those who are interested.

Peace,
Timothy

THANK YOU!!! :bowdown2::bowdown2:

I’d like to thank everyone who took the tremendous time and effort to investigate, dig, and research all the responses in this thread. You have created quite a compilation that I’m sure will be useful to anyone wishing to pray in Latin.

Recently, I heard His Holiness suggest saying our prayers in Latin. I think it’s a great start. For someone who never studied Latin in school, the rote method will have to do for now. The Pater was a real bear because of all the variations of nobis, nostra, noster. But I broke it down into little sections, then did the old fashioned “writing it a hundred times” (well, maybe I skipped 50-60) until I got it into my head. Only then did I try speaking it out loud.

However, I’m quite proud of the fact that my “Ave Maria” is flawless thanks to Barbara Streisand and Sandy Patti. :extrahappy: A great big LOL goes along with that!! :bounce:

Anyway, thank you for all your hard work! You are indeed appreciated.

Let me also give a big thanks to everybody. I’ve just started thinking about moving from English to Latin for the Rosary and this info will be very very helpful. Thanks so much!
