Pardon me for introducing my favorite Italian phrase…only because it was used so often by JPII. Perhaps someone can tell me how to say the phrase in latin. I’ll bet it is similar.

“Non abbiate paura.” Do not fear!

 

[Rach620]

My favorite: “ite, missa est,” the priest’s final words in the Tridentine liturgy.

Literally, I believe it is “Go, this is the mission.”

But the NO translates it as “The Mass is ended, go in peace…” not quite the same.

Often in this forum, I see people’s signature lines with an interesting phrase written in Latin. I would love if some of your Catholic Answer Members would share some of your favorite Latin Quotes, that are inspiring to you or a pillar within your own Catholic faith.
Thanks, God Bless!

sola fide !!!

 

[Johenz]

Ecce Agnus Dei. Ecce qui tolis peccata mundi.

This is the Lamb of God. This is He who takes away the sins of the world.

You don’t need my permission – It’s not original It’s been said by lots of people (Matt 1:20; Luke 5:10; John 12:15, among others). Luke used another expression meaning the same thing in 1:30, if you prefer: Ne timeas.

No, noli timere has the right ring to it. I can remember it easily because it’s so similar to noli me tangere which I have seen lots of times.

How many of you had to look this up as opposed to just knowing your latin phrase? I can’t seem to get a poll going in this thread. Me: I knew mine without looking them up. Thanks to HS Latiin and some graduate school Latin.

first one can get more using honey then vinegar!..my fav Latin statement is " mea culpa,mea culpa,mea maxima culpa!" …now you can see why certain papers,secular and my own parish paper wont print my letters…how UN PC can one be…my OWN fault…‘through my fault’…we live in an age of victimization…I can hold a job…not because I go to work late…take long breaks…mouth off to the customers.but because my great,great,great granfather had pointy ears and folks are prejudiced against those of us who have just wonderful traits…the haters…how I hate them!! and so it goes…we Italo-Americans are the only group constantly attacked in novels,flicks and sitcoms for we are individuals and do not vote in a block…thus we are the ‘they’…I recall a vegetarian,artist used a ‘they’ in Germany back in the 30s to divert attention away from his pagan plans…Nino

Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis ignem accende. Emitte Spiritum tuum et creabuntur et renovabis faciem terrae.

Come Holy Spirit, fill your faithfuls’ hearts and light in them the fire of your Love. Send your Spirit and they’ll be created and You’ll renew the face of the earth.

 

[Nichevo]

Esse quam videri bonus malebat.

To be good rather than to seem so.

…And ‘Meaning of Life?’ A film with that mocks Catholic attitudes to contraception with the song ‘every sperm is sacred’? A film with a truly repugnant scene that portrays a teacher ACTUALLY having sex with his wife in front of his classroom of students as ‘sex ed’??? And you find Life of Brian more offensive???

Both films are trash. Sheesh. Since when did blasphemy and sacrilege become entertainment?

I’ve liked the song Adoro Te devote by St. Thomas Aquinas ever since my college Latin teacher helped us translate it.
