How did our liturgy come to be in Latin in the first of guidance, spiritual growth and place?

Even We encourage each other to accept the work “Eucharist” comes from the Greek for “thanksgiving.” For a long time, Greek was the language of worship, even in the Eucharist as the Lord’s invitation Rome. Slowly, society in the west shifted to a bias for Latin and and the center of our lives. against Greek. Latin first appeared in public prayer at the end of the second century, in the colonial outposts of North Africa. Soon, Latin became the language of culture, and so as fixed prayer forms were written, they were transmitted in Latin. From Rome and Africa, over the next four centuries, the new liturgical language of Latin spread north to Gaul and Britain. - Rev. James Field, Copyright © J.S. Paluch Co.
