latin unveiled

Here are some Latin roots right out of 1962 Missal, the best source for learning.
​​
locum location; refrigeri refreshment; lucis* light
​*Satan was Lucifer before he flunked.

Et dormiunt in somno pacis - and who sleep the sleep of peace

De multitudine miserationum tuarum sperantibus - who put our trust in the multitude of Thy mercies (tu is you and spe is hope)
​
​Intra quorum nos consortium largitor admitte - into their company do Thou admit us
​
The language has a sound of finality to it. Perhaps, that is why Latin orations are so good. For example, nunc means now. The closest sound to nunc I could think of, is fulcrum. Whereas “now” is whiny, nunc sounds angry, demanding, or militaristic, thus more dramatic and convincing. 
Some of our politicians would have better luck giving speeches in Latin.

The first video comes from a tutor at Oxford.​
In the midst of life we are in death
What helper do we seek except you, oh Lord
You who for our sins,
Holy God, holy and powerful
Oh holy compassionate savior,
Do not give us over to the harshness of death,
In you our fathers placed their hopes,
They placed their hopes and you freed them
In the midst of life we are in death.
​
The last line found its way into rock and roll in the 1986 single, “Sweet and Tender Hooligan” (The Smiths).
