The Rosary and my daughter

[notsmart]

I heard a version of the Glory be,

the end was-

through the ages of ages

Then a huge AMEN.

but it was an eastern orthodox prayer and I can’t think of it now, what it is called, and its not the glory be at all…

But I kinda liked the “through the ages of ages” soft, then a resounding

AMEN

That would be about the same thing as saying world without end right?

It just gave me goosebumps.

Yup - where English prayers say ‘world without end’, Latin prayers say ‘in secula seculorum’ - literally meaning ‘to the ages of ages’, so it’s a more correct translation.

I must have good taste then. lol.

To the ages of ages, yes I like that.

Thank you Lily!

While I know it contains heresy, I am fond of the Wycliffe Bible. Here’s how Wycliffe translated the Lord’s Prayer. (U and V seem to be interchangable, and Y can mean either Y/I or G, so “yyue” is “give”)

Oure fadir that art in heuenes, halewid be thi name; thi kyngdoom come to; be thi wille don in erthe as in heuene; yyue to vs this dai oure breed ouer othir substaunce; and foryyue to vs oure dettis, as we foryyuen to oure dettouris; and lede vs not in to temptacioun, but delyuere vs fro yuel. Amen.

I especially like his translation of Gen. 1:3. “And God seide, Liyt be maad, and liyt was maad.” And God said, “Light, be made!”

I love the English language. Chaucer (and Wycliffe) are about as far back as I go. I wish I could read Beowulf in the original!

Ruthie, you and the librarian agree that its best to keep some exposure to “old” english to the children when young, so they can appreciate the classics more!

Excellent point!

If they have no exposure to “old” english, then when it comes time for them to read the “dusty” old books, they won’t have a stitch of a thread to work with.

I am all for the “old” version, especially since we are only talking about “thy” and “Thee” … come on, its not that hard!

I wonder if they are attempting to “dummy down” the kids this early??
