In A.D. 382, Pope Damasus I commissioned Jerome to revise the Vetus Latina Gospels. Later, on his own initiative, Jerome extended this work of revision and translation and completed the task in A.D. 405. The oldest extant copy is the 8th century Codex Amiatinus now residing in the Medicea Laurenziana Library in Florence. Here are the first 10 sentences of Genesis 1 from St. Jerome (d. 420 in Bethlehem, buried in Rome): 1 in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. 2 terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters. 3 dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux And God said: Be light made. And light was made. 4 et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness. 5 appellavitque lucem diem et tenebras noctem factumque est vespere et mane dies unus And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day. 6 dixit quoque Deus fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 et fecit Deus firmamentum divisitque aquas quae erant sub firmamento ab his quae erant super firmamentum et factum est ita And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so. 8 vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day. 9 dixit vero Deus congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida factumque est ita God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done. 10 et vocavit Deus aridam terram congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria et vidit Deus quod esset bonum And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Anger is a very, very good thing if used for something positive. I am still extremely angry about the secrecy and deception that caused the changeover from the Latin Mass to the New Order in 1969. I was not told how it happened, that one man, Annibale Bugnini, lied to Paul VI and pushed through the changes. See the link to Mass of the Ages under the More Tab. No one was told, and keeping information secret is lying. Lying to a young person (I was 17 at the time) is, perhaps, the worst type because one is lying to innocence, and like Luther, this man must be in Hell for the pain and suffering millions suffered. One can use anger and defiance to change one’s own life: 1) give up a vice, 2) make a stronger commitment, 3) stop trying to please people, or 4) gain confidence. I have done all four. Please pray for me that I not backtrack. Be yourself. Don’t do what is forced upon you, because what is forced, whatever it might be, is invalid. What might be small to you was big to me. Written in about five minutes, this short statement was 54 years in the making. Loyalty is the highest virtue. I gave it to Christ at eight, 10, 12, and sometime after that in my teens. If I give you my loyalty, I expect it in return, never to be given away. If you have told me lies but I have your loyalty, all is forgiven. I expect that in return. I don't believe Pope Francis has ever given his loyalty to Christ, and I am a good judge of character. None for Christ, none for the Church, none for me. He should be court-martialed.

{1:1} Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit: {1:1} Blessed is the man, that hath not gone in the counsel of the impious, and hath not stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sit in the chair of pestilence: Douay-Rheims translation notes: He is in the right way to eternal happiness that hath not consented to evil suggestions, not continued in sin, and not finally persisted in wicked life. Rhyming gives the poem added beauty. Well, it draws...and Latin helps me understand how Catholics think. A prayer made, poorly or even half of it, is heard.

La Roux visual remix at time of original release … Triarii (plural) were one of the elements of the early Roman military manipular legions of the early Roman Republic (509BC – 107BC). They were the oldest and among the wealthiest men in the army and could afford high quality equipment.
They wore heavy metal armor and carried large shields, their usual position being the third battle line. They were equipped with spears and were elite soldiers among the legion … In most battles triarii were not used because the lighter troops usually defeated the enemy before the triarii were committed to the battle. They were meant to be used as a decisive force in the battle, thus prompting an old Roman saying: Res ad triarios venit. It comes down to the triarii. U.S. Army War College Motto Latin Prudens futuri Motto English Wisdom and strength for the future “… in 1762, St Alphonsus de’ Liguori … began his episcopal ministry by sending missioners out to every corner of the diocese. He recommended two things only to these missioners, simplicity in the pulpit and charity in the confessional, and after hearing one of his priests neglect the advice, he said to him, ‘Your sermon kept me awake all night ... If you wanted to preach only yourself, rather than Jesus Christ, why come all the way from Naples to Ariola to do it?’”

We are thinking. loosely follow us I saw this song in Latin and wanted to know the original song’s release date, which was 2007. Buddy, the AI Digital Assistant, said, “I’m the DigitalCultures Lab professor. Is there anything else you want to know? I’ll answer immediately.” Now, the Latin version... Not Poe’s. Listen to his raven at 4/5/2022. “St. Benedict’s monastery was built next to a large forest. Every day at mealtime, a raven living in the forest flew into the dining room and alighted next to the saintly abbot. Benedict would feed the raven, and the raven would return to the forest. “No one knows what Benedict’s monks thought of this daily performance, but one day an event occurred which forever made the raven welcome to the Order. “A neighboring priest who had fallen away from his faith was consumed with jealousy of Benedict’s reputation. He did all he could to slander Benedict and keep people from visiting the saint. His efforts only served to increase Benedict’s fame. “Finally, the jealous man baked a loaf, poisoned it, and sent it to Benedict as a gift. “Mealtime came. The raven flew in through the window. One account says that Benedict took up the poisoned loaf and threw it to the raven, saying, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, take up that loaf, and leave it in some such place where no man may find it.’ “The raven protested—it hopped about the loaf, cawing loudly, but would not touch the bread until Benedict promised no harm would come to the raven. Then the bird seized the loaf and flew away and did not return for three hours. “Another account relates that just as Benedict was about to bless and eat the bread, the raven—looking on with its eyes bright and its head cocked—flew at the loaf, plucked it from the saint’s hands, and fled with it. “Since then, Benedictines have viewed the raven as a reminder of God’s protection over them.” -Catholiccompany.com I wear his medal, which is a sacramental, not a charm to ward off evil spirits.

born 480, died 547 “The humeral veil is a long, rectangular vestment used to cover a sacred vessel or the hands of the priest at specific times. The veil is usually white and embroidered in the center with a symbol of Christ. Its name is derived from the way it is worn, across the shoulders and back, called the humera in Latin.
“The veil’s uses vary slightly between the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Mass. “In the Extraordinary Form (the Latin Mass), the veil has two roles. First, it is worn by the subdeacon at a Solemn High Mass. From the Offertory to the Our Father, the subdeacon stands before the altar steps, holding the paten at eye level. He covers the paten with the ends of the veil. This action signifies many things—for example, the seraphim veiling their faces before God, or Christ’s divinity hidden in His humanity. “The second role is its use at Benediction, which the Ordinary Form shares. “Benediction is when most of us see this special vestment. The priest vests himself with the humeral veil, covering his hands in its folds before lifting the monstrance for the blessing. The veil is meant to cover the priest, ‘hiding’ him from our sight so that we focus only on the monstrance. “This reminds us that it is not the priest who blesses us with the Eucharist, but Jesus Christ Himself, in the Eucharist, who blesses us. This same symbolism is practiced in Eucharistic processions.” -Catholiccompany.com  We celebrated the Sacred Heart today at Mass. Above is the Offertory, and if you have ever felt this way, as I and many have, desiring and searching for solace ends in Him.

In media res
The Latin phrase, now part of everyday English, “in media res,” means “in the middle of things,” and is a literary device that describes a story that begins in the middle of the action/plot. Novels, films, and video games do this. Think middle. Flashback A flashback, sometimes called analepsis or backstory, is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point in the story often to recount crucial events that happened before the primary sequence of events, sometimes a character’s involuntary but powerful, recurring memory. Think back. The two terms are different. You know how crazy I am about Latin. “No matter how confounding the case, Sherlock Holmes always finds the quaesitum.” Without looking up the meaning, just from context, which is what the SAT vocabulary section is all about now, can you guess what quaesitum means? A) meeting B) required C) inquiry D) clue. D is wrong.

Linkin Park is an American rock band from Agoura Hills, CA. You might need to listen several times, as I did, but the video is more proof that Latin is alive, at least on YouTube and Patreon and in my world and a former student’s world.
Agoura comes from the Latin verb augurāre, which leads to the English verb, “to augur”, meaning “to predict or indicate”. Cambridge Dictionary: “The company’s sales figures for the first six months augur well for the rest of the year.” The root of the English word “nascent” (adjective meaning come into existence and beginning to develop) is the same root for “Renaissance” (noun meaning rebirth). The root is nascens, the present participle of the Latin verb nasci, which means “to be born.” Related words are nation, native, nature, and innate.
Roots sink deeper. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, translated as, “Birth of the Invincible Sun,” celebrated the birth of the Sun in Imperium Romanum prior to the coming of Catholicism, and with its coming, the celebration neatly switched to “Birth of the Invincible Son.” The word itself, natalis, meaning “of the birth,” changed over time as Latin split into different languages. Latin is Nativitatis, Spanish is Natividad, and English is Nativity. Christus natus est is the Christmas refrain. Christmas is an English contraction of “Christ and Mass.” The word seems to have confused literary English from the beginning.
Polymath Luke Ranieri has many Patreon supporters, and his source list is long. In this video Luke explains the development of the two pronunciation systems, and most surprising is what he says about collaborators Alcuin of York and Charlemagne. If I read Latin out loud, it will have an American accent. I like that sound, of course.
