A Connection to Catholic Tradition As Catholics, we must always strive to gain a deeper sense of what God does for us, in our lives. This requires us to not only look forward, to what the future may hold, but also look back, using the traditions of those who came before us to pray to God in a way that bolsters our own spiritual relationship with Him. In Oremus, translator Christopher Bailey gives us the tools to do just that. With more than fifty Latin prayers and Bailey's English translations side-by-side, this book encourages us to reflect on our prayer life and how it connects to the traditions of the early Church. Why Pray in Latin? There is a beauty in the original Latin that no translation can quite capture; the sound and rhythm of each prayer plays a large part in their musical and celebratory nature. You'll want to read this book if you: desire a deeper connection with God and the Church; want to incorporate tradition in your prayer life; or are studying Latin and need a supplement to your core learning. "A wonderful aid." “In a way both beautiful and accessible, Oremus provides a wealth of Catholic prayers for the People of God. It is a valuable addition to any home library and a wonderful aid for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the Church’s premier language of prayer and worship.” —Fr. Blake Britton Priest of the Diocese of Orlando, Florida, and Word on Fire blog contributor "Brought me closer to our Lord." “This collection of prayers, in both Latin and English, has brought me closer to our Lord and his Church, and it will surely do likewise for everyone who adds it to their collection.” —Tommy Tighe Author of The Catholic Hipster Handbook "Makes Latin prayers accessible." “Praying in Latin connects the reader to Christians throughout the ages who have prayed the very same beautiful words no matter when or where they lived. This treasury makes Latin prayers accessible to the modern English-speaking reader.” —Haley Stewart Catholic podcaster, blogger, and author of The Grace of Enough "Inviting and easy to use." “This little treasury of Latin prayers is inviting and easy to use. It offers a beautiful selection from across the ages, and ranges from the very short and easy to memorize to longer prayers, litanies, and psalms.” —John Cavadini Director of the McGrath Institute for Church Life, University of Notre Dame
