There are, in fact, several different English translations. I have heard the one with the second hail in it, but that is not the most commonly used version, probably because there is no second salve in the latin. It is important to remember that the original prayer Salve Regina is in Latin; all else are translations.
The form that Latin rite Catholics use was popularized by St. Dominic, who, tradition has it, received it from Our Lady. Either way, he did popularize it and for that reason it is sometimes called by his name.
Did you notice the salve at the end of the second line? That may be why some versions have hail twice.
Yes, there are other versions. I used the word Dominican to avoid the barage of replies from those who would see fit to correct me and say “no, there are 20 Mysteries”. there are 20 when we include the Luminous Mysteries of JPII. But as Chatter explained, the word Dominican is used to denote the Rosary given to us by Our Lady.
See Chatter’s reply.
Thank you
I suppose it’s called just what you say, the 20 Decade Rosary. I never pray it in private, but have no problem meditating on the Luminous Mysteries with my fellow parishioners before noon Mass on Thursdays. However, I would never neglect to meditate upon the Joyful Mysteries on Thursday, and so when I pray the Rosary before Mass on Thursday with the flock, I make sure to do the Joyful Mysteries that evening. I’m just uneasy breaking with the traditional routine.
Good point, and I would say that in this regard, the Latin is more clear.
wow serious light bulb moment.
I have never cared for St. Alphonsus de Liguori’s mariology. It gets too close to crossing the line, in my opinion. If I am a good example for someone who is away from the Lord and I pray for them and through my good example and prayers, the Holy Spirit draws them to Himself, then I have certainly been an instrument in leading that person to salvation, but I could not say that I was that person’s hope and salvation. Here is where I think the term Co-Redemptrix actually becomes helpful. It literally means the woman with the Redeemer. Mary cooperated in a singular way in our salvation, but of course, it does not come from her or through her in the most direct sense, obviously. She continues to helps on our journey by her example and prayers. She is Mother of mercy and life and sweetness and hope, but she is not the author and giver of these things.
Sorry, your opinion does not matter. He is a Doctor of the Church. Pe@ce and Gr@ce.
Yes he is, and no more infallible for it.
But more credible than you. Agreed? Whats the point of sainthood btw? Why does the Church bother to declare saints, and doctors?
Perhaps i’m splitting hairs in my treatment of St. Alphonsus’s teachings on Mary? I don’t know, it just seems a little overboard to me. Maybe it’s just hyperbole and not to be taken as literally as it reads. But I am not questioning his sanctity or intelligence, just some aspects of his mariology.
Well, I am glad we both agree he is a saint and the point you bring up about his language is a good one…we are definetly, in america at least, out of touch with this style of writing, which I personally like more than modern english.
