CONSONANTS: The pronunciation of Latin consonants is the same as English, with the following exceptions. Preface Pronounce:

C before a, o, or u - like “k” as in cat “He who sings prays twice” - St. Augustine

The style of Gregorian chant emphasizes

S between two vowels or preceded by a consonant - like “z” Roman Liturgy,” and “should be given pride of place in liturgical services” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 116). The gentle, flowing, SC (or SCH) before a, o, u, or consonant - like “sk” in skunk highly expressive, and sometimes poignant melodies of Gregorian chant have an intrinsic spiritual quality. In keeping with the solemn SC before e, i, y, ae, or oe - like “sh” in shirt character of the Mass, Gregorian chant echoes in sound the wafting

Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, LC # 40 I thank you, for even though I am a sinner, your unprofitable servant, not because of my worth but in kindness of Your mercy, You have fed me with the precious Body and Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

May it purify me from evil ways and put an end to my evil . May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience, and growth in the power to do good. May it bring me strong defense against all my enemies, visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impulses, bodily and spiritual.

And I pray that You will lead me, a sinner, to the banquet where You, with Your Son and Holy Spirit, are True and Perfect Light, Total Fulfillment, Everlasting Joy, Gladness without end, and Perfect Happiness to Your saints.

Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas

Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the of Your Only-Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of Heaven and earth. Lord, in your generosity, heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. May I receive the bread of angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the determined purpose that will help to bring me salvation. May I receive the sacrament of the Lord’s Body and Blood, and its and power. Kind God, may I receive the body of Your Only-Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of the Virgin Mary, and so be received into His Mystical Body and numbered among His Members. Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrimage I now receive Your Beloved Son under the of a sacrament, may I one day see Him face to face in glory, Who lives and reigns with You forever and ever. Amen.
