On weekdays without their own proper, the Mass takes the Sunday’s prayers.
Welcome to another installment of What Does the Prayer Really Sound Like? In this audio project I will simply read, and this week sing, the Latin prayers for the upcoming Sunday or feast from the 1962 Missale Romanum.

It is easy to snipe at the now lame-duck ICEL translations made decades ago. At the same time it is very hard to produce adequate alternatives. Consider that two of the Latin words is today’s prayer have at the same time regular, surface meanings which are somewhat intuitive from having a good working English vocabulary inventory. However, both those words when you get under the surface had for centuries religious and ritual applications that make them snap and echo with new possibilities. How does…
